Haunting in Connecticut - Generic horror film #12421. Every single part of this film has been done before but I guess it was at least competently made.

Big Stan - Rob Schneider is facing 3-5 years in prison so with the help of David Carradine he endeavours to make himself unrapeable. It's a stupid but more-or-less enjoyable film.

The Unborn - Some woman's unborn twin tries to kill her or something. It's just as shit as it sounds. Turned off long before the end.

Up- Do I even need to say anything about this one. It's Pixar! Of course it's excellent! It's kinda like a child-friendly Gran Turino.

The Hangover- Very Funny. I must say that Galifianakis steals the show. Ed Helms does have some great lines too. It's plot is ultimately irrelevant (Helms character figures it out House-style to finish it off) but it was always meant to be an excuse to get the guys into wild situations and it works.

Land Of The Lost- I don't know why so many people were against this one. I saw the entire original series on Sci-Fi the week before it's release and was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was. Seeing the movie, it did a great job using the series elements to craft it's own story. Ferrell and Bride are their usual funny selves, Friel works well as the straight woman to keep the story on check, and Taccone managed to keep the charm of the original Chaka. Make no mistake, this movie is a cheesy tribute to the original series, while remaining a fun adventure film on it's own. Check it out if you haven't seen the previous 2 films I mentioned (I think we all know better than to watch Transformers 2).

Oh yeah, just awful. I'd read a comment on IMDb before watching it, and it said that it was essentially just a shitty pastiche of horror movie cliches all thrown into one terrible movie.

That's the movie in a nutshell. It's a pretty shitty mix of The Exorcist and every other horrible newer horror movie in recent memory.

I'm thinking of going to a drive-in tomorrow. Think they're open on the 4th? Their website doesn't say they aren't.

It's a double feature....Public Enemies (partially filmed in a town where I used to live, so I'm curious) and The Hangover.

I haven't been to a drive-in movie since Jurassic Park (and I fell asleep then).

update- Public Enemies was interesting from the "omg I recognize that place, I went to a party in that room, people I used to babysit own that building" etc, but the movie in general was sort of disjointed and halfassed. It just didn't feel like a good movie, despite all the big names. And I have no idea why they needed Christian Bale as Purvis.

Transformers 2

Had some nice action, some robots/humans were annoying, the human parts of the movie were boring. It was ok.

I didn't have any problems with the transformers, they looked cool. But then again I didn't grew up with them so I have no reason to whine whether they look original or not.

The Wackness - Takes place in NYC 1994. About a drug dealer who likes this girl, sells to her and her step-father(Ben Kingsley) who is a psychiatrist. The dealer ends up befriending the step-father as his own family life crumbles around him.

I was looking forward to seeing this for a while and recommend it. Thought it was just going to be a comedy and it ended up being a pretty great piece of drama instead.

The Hangover - This film was somewhere between "not bad" and "OK". I enjoyed it for the most part and would probably watch it again one day, but I'm not sure what all the fuss was about.

Indiana Jones and the whatever of the crystal skull - Urgh what a load of shit. So stupid. There were some okay action sequences but they were ruined slightly by everything else about the film being lame/gay.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: sister wanted to rewatch it to re jog the memory before seeing the new one

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: The movies have consistently improved with each movie(aside from the third movie) and this one turns out to be a pretty good movie even if you are not into harry potter. I really liked the director for this film and besides one unbearable scene involving hermoine crying, the movie is pretty free of the terrible child acting that have plagued the previous films. The actor who played Ron did a very good job this film and was very comical specifically while under the influence of a love potion in one scene.

Swing Kids. Robert Sean Leonard (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000494/) looked exactly like Jim Carrey to me.

I could tell Christian Bale right away due to the glittery aura of prickness around him, even if he looked a little different.

I hadn't seen this movie in about 15 years, so it was interesting to see it again.

Most of the recent movies I've seen are for the younger set, 'cept for the latest:

Star Trek (XXXIV) When Jimmy met Spock - actually I thought this was a great comeback to a stagnant franchise. After the abortion that was Nemesis, I was expecting to be underwhelmed. In fact, it beat all my low expectations to a pulp, then flushed them down the toilet. It was spectacular.

Unfortunately, the previews included the Travolta/Washington debacle "The Taking of Pelham 456". My son really wants to see this movie, and I'm doing everything in my power to prevent it. I think the next film we'll be taking in will be the new Harry Potter movie, which I admit looking forward to, a little guiltily.

10,000 Volt Ghost
Jul 27th, 2009, 01:16 PM
I actually liked the new Star Trek a lot as well. I'm going to see the new Harry Potter movie in IMAX 3D in a few days. I haven't read the books but I'll watch anything with Brendan Gleeson, Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman in it. Separately the 3 of them are amazing but together....well...it's 3 times as good.

I'm still wanting to see the new Star Trek film. To be honest, I've never seen anything about Star Trek before. No TV shows, no movies, nuttin.


The Film I saw last was Son of Rambow. Got it and JCVD on DVD for cheap.

I liked it, very nice and heart warming. Story about childhood friendship and imagination. Somehow a young boy going from drawing lions and cows in his art book to guns, tanks and killing is seen as charming. Still, I liked.

While I'm at it JCVD is great, although I might have already said so in this thread.

I guess I'm always asking questions here without bothering to google, so I'll bite:

It's Jean-Claude Van Damme.

It's a movie starring him, as him. Interesting story, and there is a real heart lifing moment at the end. There's also a part where he breaks the fouth wall and takes some time out to speak to the audience and have a bit of a cry. He's a really good actor.

Terminator Salvation was a lot of fun, even though most of that fun was generated by my friend and I picking it to pieces.

Last night I received free tickets to see Public Enemies. It was good enough, but exactly as I suspected. I guess you can't expect a lot of storyline to a gangster movie. Acting was top notch by everyone. Car chases and gun fights were exciting. Love story was boring and unrealistic.

Kitsa
Jul 31st, 2009, 07:37 PM
Bedtime Stories- Good, fairly entertaining if a few plotholes, and it was a nice change to not have a sudden downer where they try to "teach" you something. Adam Sandler is Adam Sandler is Adam Sandler. The movie was basically Billy Madison + Uncle Buck.

Phoebe in Wonderland- Life of a girl with a very OCD-ish version of Tourette's, immersed in fantasyland because she lives in a Connecticut-ish place where everyone's got a stick up their ass. She's some sibling of Dakota Fanning's, but I like her better than Dakota Fanning. Movie was great up until they did a "let's show them we can sing too" thing with a slightly out of place musical number.

I checked IMDB to see what the hell movie I caught a scrap of today, something about Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins going on a crime spree, and I found this:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1321509/

That's right, they're remaking Death at a Funeral. Starring Martin Lawrence.

If you're talking about Peter Dinklage, I thought he was funny. Especially after he'd been dosed. The lawyer guy was funnier after being dosed, too.

I don't know, I imagine anything with Martin Lawrence in it will be full of Wacky Antics and lack the sophistication of the original. Maybe I'm not giving him enough credit, but I hope it doesn't go the way of a "Tyler Perry Presents Tyler Perry's Death at a Funeral" with characters in fatsuits and whatnot.

I can't picture Luke Wilson in there anywhere. Not Sure.

So I just saw GI Joe, and it was alright.

Stupid, didn't always make sense, horrible acting, horrible story, ideas and design blatantly stolen from various mediums, and the last climactic battle scene was pretty much all the Star Wars movies rolled into one, but with plenty of over the top and needless CGI.

It had a Wayans (Maybe?) brother in it, so that sucked.

Oh, speaking of which, none of the gags were funny.

BUT it was still a reasonable amount of fun. Good times were had laughing at this movie and the bad script.

That being said, I kept finding myself thinking/saying "What is this shit?" over and over.

I thought the first part of Full Metal Jacket was wonderful but then it dropped off abruptly when they were actually in Vietnam.

I think as far as the quality of his movies, I prefer Clockwork Orange. Then The Shining, then Barry Lyndon. Dr. Strangelove is somewhere in the middle, always felt like it dragged in parts. Spartacus is somewhere in the middle too.

My least favorites are Lolita and Eyes Wide Shut. It's such a shame that Eyes Wide Shut is the one he went out on.

I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Did you like Borat or the Ali G show? Cos I am a huge fan of the series, and thought that Bruno was generally funnier than the Borat movie, if ethically questionable.

I'm quite surprised to see the generally negative reaction to Bruno, but mostly just in comparison to Borat. What was it about Borat that made it so much better to everyone? I don't think either movie is particularly great, but Borat was flat out boring for long stretches. I guess what I'm saying is, the reaction that Bruno is getting is exactly what I thought Borat would get, and I thought Borat deserved it more.

Zomboid
Aug 17th, 2009, 08:24 PM
I think Bruno is getting that kind of reaction because it's about a gay man, and that's not something that a lot of people are comfortable with. It's all incredibly over-the-top and funny, so I laughed a lot, but there are bound to be a lot of people that just get grossed out and can't see past the dicks to the comedy.

I think Bruno is getting that kind of reaction because it's about a gay man, and that's not something that a lot of people are comfortable with. Yeah because god forbid the material was shit compared to the hype surrounding the movie. it must be because people are afraid of gays! Borat was something the american public(remember mostpeople had no fucking clue who this guy was then) didn't expect to be great and it turned out hilarious. Bruno was something the american public was expecting to be great and fell far short of being funny in my opinion. Borat seemed to expose racism thatso many people have and did so in a fair way meaning that he let people say dumb things but he didnt completely set up ever skit to get the most prejudiced reaction. Bruno tried to do the same and expose homophobia but did so in such a retarded and unfair way that the end result wasnt very funny. like they totally tried to get ron paul for being a homophob and he barely gave them a comment worth using after putting up with more then most people would. I am a long time fan of the ali g show since it orginally aired on HBO and in my opinion borat was a superior movie even if bruno is the superior character. bruno on the tv show always had me laughing alot more then the movie. i think the movie went wrong when it tried to copy borat in the way it exposes peoples prejudices(i know this is from the show and aalrge part of his chacaters but he really ramped up the imma exposxe prejudices shit for the movie imo). in bruno these prejudices were basically forced out of people and the funniest scenes involved parts having nothing to do with him being gay such as his velcro suit at the fashion show and adopting a black kid and naming it oj and having the american idol judge sit on mexicans, and the horrible parents pimping out their kids for stardom. these skits involving bruno were funny because it wasnt omg its a penis or omg its two guys making out instead of fighting and now people are shockingly uncomfortable, they must be homphobes! HOW IGNORANT of those hicks to get mad that a cage match turned into two guys making out.

So to sum it up. Bruno is a better character but Borat was a funnier movie and to the american publicwas something they didnt see coming whereas bruno suffered from its own hype and lack of laughs. but maybe like zombiod believes im just a NY homophob who doesnt like seeing a swinging penis on a big screen in order to witness the predictable reactions. I think I just like his clever skits the ones that maybe a 12 year old couldnt come up with opposed to the ones where he thinks he is shocking america by simulating sex

Both Borat and Bruno had pros and cons, and I agree with the stuff about trying too hard to expose prejudices in certain scenes, but I think in a lot of ways that's besides the point. The cage match scene isn't meant to be funny because people are offended at gay guys, it's just a funny prank to play on people (and you can't ever justify the guy who broke down into tears over it.)

Borat definitely had more of those sublime moments of racist confessional that Bruno was lacking, but in general I thought neither movie was particularly great, and I'm still just puzzled that they got such extreme reactions at opposite ends of the spectrum. How can the same person LOVE Borat and HATE Bruno? They're nearly the same movie.

Zomboid

The only parts in either movie that made me really laugh were the ones where they tricked and angered people. Everything else was kind of just background for that stuff.

Great story, great characters, and it deals with pretty strong stuff at times. The CG was spot on, and it makes me wonder how blockbusters on a bigger budget can make absolute shit while this turns out spectacular graphics that never made me think "hm, looks fake".

Oh, also very few 'shakey camera' moments, and those were mainly limited to actual news camera style scenes.

The action scenes were real rollercoaster rides, in that I thought things were going to end badly, then go well for the good guys, then go horribly wrong etc, and they were really very cool and exciting.

I saw it with about 8 friends and the reaction was expectantly mixed. From a granddaughter of a holocaust survivor and a die hard Terantino fan. The reaction was surprising to say the least. I was amazed by how Quentin had matured as a filmmaker, and I encourage everyone to avoid the reviews and see this striking film and judge for oneself.

That, and because my mind didn't divide the dialogue I didn't realize how much of it was in French. I ended up translating most of the scene for my boyfriend, then I became annoyed at how much I was having to translate.

From what I got, he had the area Montagnards under some sort of psychotic benevolent dictatorship. He called them his "children" more than once, and I think that in general they were scared shitless of him but regarded him as some sort of protector.

But he was also very anti-Imperialism and anti-Interventionism, making him an enemy of the stubborn Indochine colonialists and the American forces in Vietnam. Unless, of course, they showed signs of his own unique train of thought. He must have thought that Martin Sheen's character had some potential in that direction, or else he would have been another random head rolling around. Or maybe he just spotted the leader of the group and decided what needed to be done...allow him to live and to do what he was sent to do.

A few others I've talked to said they were disappointed due to the lack of action scenes. It didn't have a lot of action but it was paced well with the story. When I first heard about Tarentino's idea to make a war epic around 2003 I was a bit put back and against it because it was between filming basterds and grindhouse.

After seeing grindhouse(which I loved) I was then ready to appreciate for the basterds.

inglorious Basterds. Another classic in the Tarantino cannon. He even made Eli Roth look cool, which is an amazing accomplishment.

Inglorious basterds: enjoyable movie but not sure if it will be very enjoyable on the second or third watch

Inglorious Basterds. It was the absolute worst thing I have seen for a long long time. Painfully obvious that he didn't have enough material or dialogue to make an entire movie, so he just works some ol' Tarantino magic and turns drinking a glass of milk into a five minute scene.

3 hours later and I didn't have a clue who half the characters were, and what their story was. I didn't care.

The brutality is meant to shock us, but it's a WWII film (thanks for ruining one of my favourite genres Quentin!) and I think the audience should be prepared somewhat - Germans shooting Jews? Get out of town! - but I know the director thought he was being as cutting edge and IN YOUR FACE as he always thinks he is. Is the disregard for an honour amongst soldiers supposed to be cool and BADASS, or is it scathing social commentary? I don't give a shit anymore.

It's a collection of suspensful scenes, one after the other, and they're really not that suspensful after the first one because the same thing happens. Good guy meets Bad guy, Good guy tries to con Bad guy, Bad guy plays along, but we all know he secretly knows too. TENSION. AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Chapter titles, bold font, pointing out who Herman Goring is just in case history buffs missed the fat, blond man in the Luftwaffe uniform - fuck off. At least get a decent looking Hitler.

My memory has begun the process of collecting all known records of this abomination, and is burning them before the Allies arrive.

The Final Destination. GAAAH I hated this movie. I liked the first 2 and 3 was ehh, but this made me cringe (and not for the gore). The loud audience was more entertaining

- Some Lady (I don't Want To See This SHIT!)
- Same Lady (That's Fucking Gross!)
- Kid (The house is going to blow up *sarcastically*)
- Me (THEY DID THAT IN THE FIRST MOVIE!)

You may say "What Do You Expect?" Well, entertainment for 1, but all i got was frustration & a headache from the 3D Glasses. Even the title is annoying.

I expected this from Tarantino, it's why I didn't even bother going to see it.

It all honesty though, is it seriously that bad? Bad as in it ruined the WWII genre? It seems plausible that Tarantino could of put the last nail in the coffin.

Just went to see Final Destination 3D. I was expecting it to be bad but not that bad. The 3D was pretty awful, it looked more like really good high-def. I was especially angry at the ending. It felt almost like they(the makers of the film) gave up on it.

The first Final Destination was actually pretty good. It had Devon Sawa and they had some interesting deaths as I remember.

For the 3D one though the cause and effects were ridiculous. I feel like Death himself must either have a wry sense of humor or be a big fan of "Mouse Trap"

I agree, The first two films were quite enjoyable, 3 was good on DVD because it gave you choices but in the 4th Death just gave up and started throwing rocks into peoples heads

Porco Rosso. It was pretty good. I shat bricks when I found out Michael Keaton voiced him.

I hated Porco's voice. He never sounded fucking interested in anything, and the entire time he was talking I kept picturing the actor reading a script, head in hands, thinking, "Oh god, how did it come to this? I'm a fucking talking pig." And then he swallows a few perscription capsules with a shot of railroad gin.

I just saw the entire director's cut of Apocalypse Now. I've watched about half of the movie before and got distracted and left during the playboy bunny scene, but everything after they leave the French plantation is pretty great. That part feels really out of place, though, like a completely different movie.

Well, yeah. He's supposed to be the kind of easy-going guy who's calm and cool all the time.

Spies Like Us. I thought it was funny how they didn't bother to include subtitles for the russian soldiers (even though I understood what they were saying), it's like they thought, "screw it, we'll just show them pissed off and yelling and leave it at that."

I like them both. Thomas Jane is the better punisher, but I enjoyed the overacting villains and the brutal violence of the second movie.

Please don't shoot me for "gaying up" this thread, but I just came from the movie "Shorts" which I saw with my son and a friend of his. It was definitely for the kiddos, but there was enough going on to hold my interest ... kind of.

Now I'm catching "Terminator 2 - Judgement Day" on Bravo. It's giving my brain whiplash. :\

Just saw the Watchmen for the first time and I was completely blown away. This movie was an amazing adaptation of one of the most amazing graphic novels to date. Anyone who's never read the novel can still the movie amazing, it's just a lot to take in I would think opposed to knowing the book. All I can say is that I found myself not being able to turn away from the movie for even one second.

Went to see "Pandorum" yesterday. Really good sci-fi thriller. It looked kind of interesting in the preview but it ended up being awesome. Don't read the wikipedia page about it though because they ruin a lot of the plot elements by explaining things in a different order they were given in the movie. Hopefully this will become a series.

I haven't heard of Overture Films until recently but everything they're releasing looks really great.
Upcoming by them:

1.) The men who stare at goats
2.) Law abiding citizen
3) Crazies - a remake but of one my favs.

The short previews for Law abiding citizen looked kind of terrible but I watched the extended theatrical trailer for it and it changed my mind completely about going to see it.
