Anybody watch "Butterfly Effect"?

[kanrok]

Just watched it. Kinda good movie. Ashton Kutcher surprised me. Very well acted. Interesting plot.

1. I did...

and I thought it was great

[kanrok]

2. I agree

I'd recommend it.

[arcos]

3. There are two versions, though...

the Director's cut, and the official release.

Which one did you see?

[kanrok]

5. I chose the director's cut.

[arcos]

7. I still have to see the director's cut...

I've heard it's much better than the released version.

[kanrok]

9. I gotta watch the released version.

How did it end up?

[arcos]

14. a corny, more or less happy ending...

They both have happy lives, but don't know each other...

8. surprising acting skill from ashton, this will be his "start"

I like the movie, but I was amazing by his acting. I kind of only figured him in small rolls, but now im impressed, and hope he does well.

P.S. hes a democrat!

[kanrok]

11. Yep. I was surprised.

He, apparently, is not just a one trick pony.

13. His start was in

Dude, where's my car? "Zoltan!"

[Behind the Aegis]

19. Cool map!

That is the coolest thing I have ever seen at DU! Where did you find it?

21. google image search

query for "animated gif". It was like the 30th result.

10. Just rented it ten minutes ago, also rented Taking Lives

from Blockbuster.

[kanrok]

12. Enjoy.

I did.

15. I'd recommend it too.

I didn't like Kutcher's acting too terribly much, though. He has some (admittedly very good) faces that he does in comic scenes, but when they came up in the Frat alternate life, I thought they seemed quite out of place. Perhaps those were the first shot. I shouldn't complain too much, though. I thought the movie was great, and he'll probably improve.

Has anybody else seen the movie "Made in Heaven" with Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis? It's pretty good, I have a fondness for it, but the reason I mention it is that its final scene and the final scene of the release version of "Effect" are very similar. By accident, I had watched "Heaven" about a week before seeing "Effect", and the comparison made the ending quite poignant.

16. Looks like my next visit to Blockbuster will be for "Made iin Heaven"

Thanks for the heads-up

[bigmonkey]

17. I loved "Dude, Where's My Car?"

So sue me :-) I think that Kutcher is a brilliant natural comic actor, and "Car" could have been boring and terrible without him. He'll get better as a dramatic actor, most likely, if he sticks with it.

Kanrok - Made in Heaven is a little uneven, but it's got really good portions. Just so you don't expect a total gem from my mention.

18. Ahhh..what the hell...it's only 2 hours.

[Jack_DeLeon]

20. I saw it when it first came out...

it was a pretty good movie.

I just thought in the version where he was a preppy he must have had a pretty horrible defense attorney to end up going to prison for killing that crazy guy.

22. I saw it a month or so ago.

I liked it a lot too which also surprised me. Decent movie. :thumbsup:
