[Pub Lover]

Now tell us how those films made you think and feel?

Assuming that you have thoughts and feelings.

[Ozzman313]

Forrest Gump- I watched it with the commentary because I've seen it so many time before I got the DVD, IDK how that made me feel (although I love commentary!)

Dementia 13- it's Francis Ford Coppolas 1st movie, to sum up the plot...its confusing and old

House- made me feel stupid enough to waste money for renting & watching it...there was only one good part the end.

Toy Story & Monsters Inc.- watched them on DVD with commentary for the 1st time (it was very insightful)

Get Smart- Very clever and witty adaption of the old TV show, altough I enjoyed the original Get Smart movie called "The Nude Bomb" with Don Adams a bit more...for some reason I didn't laugh at the new one.

The Incredible Hulk- in every way better than the 2003 "Hulk" movie, very enjoyable although a bit to CGI looking in parts.

Armageddon- seen the movie many times on TV and got lucky finding a Criterion Collection 2-Disc DVD for only $8.00 used! Great movie and made even better thanks to the Criterion Collection with all of the special feature and beatiful film transfer.

Hancock- much better than Will Smith's last movie "I Am Legend", felt rather confused with the sub-plot about the other guys wife making him weak or something.

[MetalMilitia]

Outpost - Zombie ghost Nazis? Fuck yeah!

This film was brilliant. Great acting, decent story and some of the most sinister bad-guys I've seen in a long time. Recommended!

[Nick]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal gug.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The first half of Johnny Dangerously. I've never heard of it before but it's hilarious. Kind of reminded me of Hudson Hawk, which I need to finish watching too.

[pac-man]

Amazon Women on the Moon. It was on HBO, and I hadn't seen it in a while. I forgot how effin' hilarious that movie is. I love and own The Kentucky Fried Movie but I really think AWotM is the better of the two "Samuel L. Bronkowitz" channel flipping movies. It'd be cool to see the Frat Pack tackled a movie in that vein.

[Kitsa]

We rented "The Mist". I was way disappointed. I'd loved the short story, but I thought the film version had a lot of plot holes, bad acting and general poor thinking on the part of the players. The very blatant jump scenes were pretty predictable. I know it's supposed to be dark and sad, and the short story is, but we laughed through the film.

I rented "Donnie Brasco" for tonight, too...I've never seen it. Also some renamed Hong Kong horror film I couldn't quite identify- will have to watch it and see.

Saw "Casino" all the way through the other night and thought it was incredible.

[pac-man]

Watched Demolition Man on cable. Hahahaha, President Schwarzenegger!!! Wait, what? He's a governor? They could actually amend the Constitution to let naturalized citizens run? Wow... this movie could turn out to be fuckin' prophetic. I remembered how corny it was, but I forgot how fun it was. Quality action movie that sewed it's tongue inside it's cheek.

I also saw The Dark Knight. I already sung it's praises in another thread. The showing was great. My brother gave me an 11am screening pass (I don't know how he got them, he said he "knows people"), so the theater was practically empty... seriously like 20 people. Extremely happy about that, because I'm pretty sure it's gonna be shoulder to shoulder at most theaters this weekend. Brave the heat and crowds and go see it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

[quote=pac-man;569470]Watched Demolition Man on cable. Hahahaha, President Schwarzenegger!!!


Batman & Robin was on TNT last night while I was going to sleep last night. All I'm going to say about that is the Batman movie I see tonight is going to be so much better than the one I watched last night.

[Fathom Zero]

The first half of Johnny Dangerously. I've never heard of it before but it's hilarious. Kind of reminded me of Hudson Hawk, which I need to finish watching too.

Both fantastic movies that you definitely need to finish.

[Sionainn]

I just watched Road House 2 and Jake Busey is my god, I love his douchey douchebaginess.
I have House party on in the background, and I think the hi top fade hairstyle is destined for a comeback any day now.

[MetalMilitia]

Road House 2? WTF

He already cleaned up the town? >:

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Hahaha, I've seen Road House 2 but still haven't seen the 1st one. RH2 was out of control.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just finished Catch-22. It was really good, weird seeing everyone so young still in it.

[Guitar Woman]

Jacob's Ladder

what a fucking cheesefest

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Jacob's Ladder

what a fucking cheesefest

I've heard really good things about it. not good?

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Don't bother asking him.

[Guitar Woman]

It was an ok movie, just cheesey as hell

Especially after they bring the ARMY'S USING SECRET DRUGS ON THE SOLDIERS thing into it. Spoilers.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just got back from step brothers. Went to it for John C Reilly. Him and Will F really play off each other well. There was a lot of good laughs though.

[MiKE8_3]

The Dark Knight: Fucking awesome!! There aren't enough hours in the day to describe Heath's amazing performance as the Joker, and Christian Bale OWNS as Batman, regardless of what anyone thinks. The movie was a masterpiece through and through...Chris Nolan is a genius!

Bubba Ho-Tep: Cool movie...it's not a straight up horror OR a comedy...it's kind of a weird dark comedy that makes you really think about growing old. And battling mummies that suck souls from your ass. And whether Elvis really died. Anyway, it's a great Bruce Campbell cheese-fest. I recommend it.

Walk Hard: John C. Reilly rules as Dewey Cox in this excellent send-up of music biopics. It's also worth a look. It's damn hilarious, and there are many great jokes, the best of which catch you completely off-guard. There's great cameos, great tunes...(Let's Duet...a work of comic genius). Check it out; you'll laugh yourself stupid.

Army of Darkness: If you haven't seen this master work, I highly recommend that you do so. Bruce Campbell rules.

[pac-man]

Watched Major Payne. Still hilarious after all these years.

[Esuohlim]

Step Brothers :rolleyes

[liquidstatik]

was it as lame as it seems? :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The story for step brothers could have been done in a weekend, but the yells are great.

[Fathom Zero]

Dan in Real Life

Two thumbs up.

[MetalMilitia]

I watched that the other day too, it was okay.

Also I watched:

Interview - I like Bushemi but this was lacking something.

The Darjeeling Limited - Pretty good.

Drillbit Taylor - Harmless teen comedy. Not bad but I wouldn't watch it again.

[pac-man]

American Psycho. Now if you'll excuse me, I uh, I need to return some videotapes.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

2 hrs into There will be blood and I'm leaving work. Plan on finishing it tomorrow night. I know 70,000 other people have already said this but this movie is amazingly grand.

Edit: Finished, great ending too.

[WhiteRat]

Dazed and Confused. There's no limit to the amount of times I can see this movie.

[pac-man]

Coneheads. Funnier than I remember, and good lord, it's like a SNL reunion from all the casts that were funny.

[WhiteRat]

Agreed. Coneheads is a classic.

[MetalMilitia]

In the Valley of Elah - Good thriller. Worth watching for Tommy Lee Jones performance.

Walk Hard - Though I'm sure there have been worse spoofs in the past few years, this could've done with being a bit less stupid.

There Will Be Blood - Very impressive film. I'm not surprised it got so many Oscar nominations.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Walk Hard - Though I'm sure there have been worse spoofs in the past few years, this could've done with being a bit less stupid.



Did you watch the extended version or the regular one. I like the movie but I think I could've gone with the regular version instead.

[MetalMilitia]

Uhh, just the regular one I think. What may have ruined it slightly for me was that I really like Walk the Line. When you watch a spoof of something that is dumb/crap it's funny because you can laugh at how dumb the real film was and how the spoof totally called them on it, but Walk Hard was stupid itself and the Walk the Line was good - so it didn't work for me. :/

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I gotcha. My friend refused to see Walk Hard because she has a huge thing for Mr. Cash. I watched the extended version and it just seemed to go on and had a lot more ding dongs in it.

[pac-man]

I watched the newer Futurama movie The Beast With a Billion Backs for the second time since I bought it, this time with the audio commentary. Commentaries usually suck balls, but he Futurama DVD commentaries are some of the funniest and most informative I've come across.

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Toy Story 1 and 2.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The Warriors. Not looking forward to the remake.

[HeadhuntingStickman]

I just saw Zodiac, with Robert Downey Jr. and Jake Gyleenhal.
IT WAS AWESOME! Probably the one good true story movie.

[MetalMilitia]

Margot at the Wedding - Not bad, but not as good as The Squid and the Whale.

The Eye - Meh. Generic horror re-make with a fairly crap story and cheap scares a plenty.

Brooklyn Rules - Didn't like this much. It was apparently written by the same guy that wrote The Sopranos, but in my opinion shows little of the quality of its predecessor. The characters are one dimensional at best and overall I couldn't help but think the film was trying too hard to be Goodfellas.

The Departed - This was my second viewing of this film and it was easily as good as the first time I watched it. Great thriller.

[Kitsa]

Donnie Darko. That rabbit scared the bejesus out of me. It looked like a Matt Groening character from hell (pun intended).

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Harold and Kumar 2 - Really funny, especially the Howie Scream during the Ku Klux Kegger.

Finally saw Doomsday - Holy Crap.

Pineapple Express - It wasn't immensely funny but it wasn't supposed to be. It was a solid movie.

[MetalMilitia]

In Bruges - Good film. I always disliked Colin Farrell for some reason, but in this he plays his part really well. Recommended.

Lars and the Real Girl - Also a good film. Well worth watching.

[WhiteRat]

Strangers With Candy. Most of the series' cast was retained and so were some of the jokes, which made for a hilarious time.


Lars and the Real Girl - Also a good film. Well worth watching.

I really wanted to see this movie when it was in theaters but for some reason none of the three theaters in my area ever showed it. I'm assuming it's on dvd now so i'll have to go pick this one up.

[liquidstatik]

goodfellas & the devils advocate

they were both pretty good, but the latter made me lol a whole bunch :eek

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Finished watching the Brothers Solomon. I thought it was amazingly funny though I could see how a lot of people didn't find it funny. People should "let" it be funny to them.

[Fathom Zero]

I'm watching A Scanner Darkly right now. It's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

[executioneer]

i watched the aqua teen hungry force movie

it seemed really really unnecessary

[Guitar Woman]

The best part of that movie is probably the "I like your booty, but I'm not gay" loop. The rest of it is just really boring and I don't understand where all the regular humor the show has went.

[Krythor]

I liked it. I think unnecessary is a good way to describe it but I wouldn't say unfunny. It's really funny in small doses but it's purposeful lack of coherence is difficult to tolerate after a certain amount of time.

Last movie I saw was Mamma Mia. Five months ago I never would have predicted that I would prefer Mammia Mia to the new X-Files movie but whaddayaknow. Batman and Wall-e still lead the summer movie pack but gosh, there is something infectious about five year old kids having such fun to ABBA songs.*

Last movie I saw on dvd was Gone Baby Gone, the movie Ben Affleck directed last year. That was also surprisingly good, although not perfect. I'm not a fan of that awful device in movies where the big revelation is told in flashbacks to an earlier part of the movie, but from a different angle that reveals something you didn't notice. It needs to stop. I also object to Morgan Freeman being the go-to guy for wise old black men and am angered more with every movie how, even his villain is the same character as his good guy. Versatility is not that guy's forte.

* I am an ABBA fan by the way.

[executioneer]

i thought it had as much funny as maybe two of the medium-good episodes? but unfortunately it's stretched out to whatever length it is rather than being a half hour

[bigtimecow]

i just watched hellboy II and enjoyed it. i very much like the first one and this one was no different; maybe more action, but still a wonderful blend of action/drama/comedy. and goddamn are the special effects nice. i love the fact that there are probably more props and guys-in-suits than CGI

[Kitsa]

i watched the aqua teen hungry force movie

it seemed really really unnecessary

True. And it was so LONG.

It reminded me of one of those wacky 70s sitcoms where there'd be a knock on the door and it'd be ANOTHER GUEST STAR!

[bigtimecow]

this is aqua teen hunger force we're talking about... when does anything seem necessary? it's not like plot actually drives the series what-so-ever

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The first 10 minutes were funny. That's about it though.

Also regarding doomsday
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/Locke9999/Photo-0565.jpg

[MetalMilitia]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Really enjoyed this film. Lots of laughs and a good romance story. Best rom-com I've seen in a long time.

[bigtimecow]

totally agree with you there. jason segal needs to write more movies :D

[MetalMilitia]

Doomsday - Urgh, stupid rubbish shit. Watch Outpost instead.

Felon - Really good film. If you get a chance to check this out on DVD go for it. You won't be disappointed.

[HickMan]

Tropic Thunder and Stepbrothers. I <3'd both

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Watching Nake Gun 33 1/3. 14 years is a lot of time, O.J. and Anna Nicole Smith both had significant parts in it. Now....well, you know.

[WhiteRat]

The Replacements

[Cherry Nirvana]

Wizard of Gore (2008) - It was pretty good, but then again I have a strange fixation with Crispin Glover.

[Fathom Zero]

Just saw Ocean's Thirteen, didn't have Julia Roberts in it, camera work wasn't quite as good as I've seen in the past two movies, but the sense of style and the score in combination with the quality of the acting make it a very good movie.

[Fathom Zero]

Also, Ocean's Twelve was so sophisticated and artsy, I kind of expected that instead of another casino gig.

[pac-man]

Finally watched Step Brothers. It's okay. The 1040EZ scene did make me laugh my ass off, though.

[Zomboid]

Just watched Jack Ketchum's The Lost. Pretty fucked up. Seeing as how the only other Jack Ketchum work I've seen is "The Girl Next Door," I'm gonna have to conclude that he is one messed up man. Both pretty good horror/thriller movies but I don't know what his novels that they were based on are like.

[MarioRPG]

I saw This Is Spinal Tap for the first time. Pretty awesome.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Mortal Kombat is on TBS while I'm on the computer. Kinda wish I had scorpions hell hook to grab the remote.

[Zomboid]

WTF? I went to watch Mortal Kombat and "in the heat of the night" was on. Fucking peachtree.

[liquidstatik]

I'm about to watch Bastard Out of Carolina :tastey

[liquidstatik]

:tasty*

[liquidstatik]

>:

[JakeOfAllTrades]

I watched 300 for the first time ever. I am the only person I know who hasn't seen it until now. And I have to say when you put the catch phrases in context it's not as awesome as in the trailers. The whole "wall of corpses" idea is pretty nifty when it comes to ancient world military tactics, but what of the sanitation? And Gerard Butler played The Phantom of the Opera in a sissy movie musical before he got his big break with this, so it was hard for me to take him seriously.

I found the whole "war solves all problems" angle a bit jingoistic, but I liked the whole bardic tale of valour mode of telling the story, since I'm a fantasy/mythology fan.

[Neen]

Fist Full of Dollars.

Why don't they make soundtracks like these anymore?

[MetalMilitia]

The Prestige - This film had the potential to be really good but never quite got there. The stuff about the magic machine that cloned things was pretty stupid and in my opinion undermined the whole point of the film; that magic isn't real or easy.
Christian Bale's accent also annoyed me immensely. I'm pretty sure the only research he did for the part was to watch all the episodes of Fraser which featured Daphne's English brothers.

[Zomboid]

I think he's Welsh, so it shouldn't have been as difficult for him to imitate that kind of accent than it would be for an American or Canadian. That being said, I thought it was pretty damn good. It did kind of go a bit fantastical near the end, but the whole Tesla thing kind of set you up for something like that.

I still haven't seen it. Don't have time.

[DALI-II]

I recently had the time to rewatch The Truman Show on DVD.

It's perhaps Carrey's best role, after Ace Ventura.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I almost agree.

Fire Marshall Bill from In Loving Color was above Ace Ventura(and I really love Ace Ventura char)

[RaNkeri]

Letter's from Iwo Jima.

Easily one of the best war movies ever.

[liquidstatik]

Bastard Out of Carolina - It wasn't really that moving, but it was a good watch. :o

[WhiteRat]

The Program

[MetalMilitia]

Letters From Iwo Jima - I was/am completely blown away by this film. Such an unrelentingly bleak look at the war in the pacific. No glamour, glory or sugar coating.

Redbelt - Had the possibility to be great but it seems like it needed to be an hour longer. Too many plot points seemed rushed which led to an unsatisfying and somewhat confusing ending.

Stranger than fiction - Pretty good film overall. Nice to see Will Ferrel playing a character which isn't completely stupid. No sports either.

Fool's Gold - Not awful but not great either. The problem I have with films like this and National Treasure is that everything works out way too easily and quickly. If you think about an Indiana Jones film the process of solving a mystery is truly epic. In Fools Gold everything just falls into place with no effort whatsoever. There is also a sub-plot about a spoilt, rich Paris Hilton type who find a new appreciation for her father and the pursuit of knowledge but it's completely lost in the shuffle. This is a shame because I'm tempted to say that would've been a film I'd rather have watched.

The Flock - When I watched this I sort of enjoyed it, but the more I think about it the more things annoy me. It's like the message it's trying to convey is "There aren't enough people making sure your kids are safe so you might as well accept that ten thousand paedophiles are going to rape them". It's all a bit alarmist and over the top.

[pac-man]

I watched The Ladies Man on Comedy Central. Easily Tim Meadows' best leading role.

[MetalMilitia]

Hellboy 2 - First I should say I've never read a Hellboy comic in my life and didn't particularly enjoy the first film. With that in mind it shouldn't come as a huge shock that I didn't really like the sequel either. Though it was quite visually brilliant it seemed to lack important things such as a good storyline and likable characters. Everything was just a bit "meh".

The promotion - Speaking of "meh-ness" The Promotion has it in droves. As much as I like the comic stylings of John C. Reiley this film wasn't funny enough or thoughful enough to be enjoyable. The film almost feels like a failed attempt by Hollywood to cash-in on the recent success of quirky indie films like Juno.

[MetalMilitia]

Kenny (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0822389/) - Great little film. It's a funny feel-good type mockumentary following the life of a portable toilet operator called Kenny. Watch it if you get the chance.

[kahljorn]

I watched cannibal holocaust which is actually pretty awesome despite all the turtle dismantling :O this movie was seriously great even if it was really fucked up

[MetalMilitia]

Planet Terror - I didn't like Deathproof much but this was great. Certainly one of the better zombie films I've seen.

[kahljorn]

I thought that death proof was awesome except for the first 30 minutes or so :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I watched The Ladies Man on Comedy Central. Easily Tim Meadows' best leading role.


His only leading role?

[Madonna]

Redbelt - Had the possibility to be great but it seems like it needed to be an hour longer. Too many plot points seemed rushed which led to an unsatisfying and somewhat confusing ending.

To me, the whole process of being a brush stroke in someone else's painting is a little difficult. :\

[pac-man]

His only leading role?

Yes, very much so.

[MetalMilitia]

Rambo (4) - First time I watched this it was a fairly rubbish rip, this time I had the blu-ray and the difference is crazy. The blu-ray version looks and sounds fantastic which really adds to the whole experience. Great film - really enjoyed it.

[WhiteRat]

One Missed Call - Total shit

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Finished watching Superman Returns last night. I liked it, not sure why no one else did. Didn't have a lot of action sequences but was a good movie anyway.

[RaNkeri]

Zombie's Halloween.

Based on Rog's review I was waiting it to be a lot worse than it was. Sure, it's not nearly as good as the original, but it was ok.

I mostly agree with Rog's opinions, but I have to disagree with few of them. For example giving a crappy childhood as a reason for Michael to go nuts wasn't a bad idea. I've always preferred to get answers to big questions and usually get annoyed if the film doesn't give them nor any clues/hints. Don't get me wrong, having a few unsolved questions is always great IF they fit into the plot, but since this is a slasher film we're talking about I really don't see much room for them, especially if they are supernatural(For example Michael's immortality, the reason that he's just "pure evil" is rather weak. Atleast let me know why he is pure evil, I don't care whether he was born that way or he ate an expired twinkie but I want answers god damnit!). But then again, I'm not horror buff like Rog so I might as well shut up.

[Krythor]

I haven't seen it yet but my problem with this bad childhood scenario is that I liked how he had a pretty big suburban house in the original movie and if anything looked like a spoiled kid. Also, I'm pretty sure the point of Danny was to make a point that Michael Myers was once as normal as he was.

[seesawbooy]

Taxi Driver & Disturbing Behavior (odd combination i know)

[MetalMilitia]

Iron Man - Good film. I don't know if it's just that I prefer origin stories or if other super hero films are crap but it's only really this and Batman Begins that I enjoy.

Outpost - Second viewing of this. Still a great film, can't wait to pick up the blu-ray.

[Kenster102.5]

Dark Knight
The Thing, such great organic effects
Taxi Driver.

[Cherry Nirvana]

High Fidelity. Quite possibly the only movie featuring Jack Black in a role that doesn't make me want to punch him in the face.

[MetalMilitia]

Bucket List - Good, not great. As much as I like Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson playing off each other it seemed like they were trying to make a sadder version of Shawshank redemption but without the good script. The only part I really enjoyed was Nicholson's eulogy at the end of the film, the rest I could take of leave.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - In my opinion there are three main points to take away from this film:
1. Jason Segeal is the best thing to happen to comedy since Seth Rogan.
2. A puppet themed dracula rock musical is a great idea and should be made in real life.
3. Russel Brand can be funny if given the right script.

[Krythor]

I haven't seen the actual movie but I saw a deleted outtake reel of Russell Brand improvising and it was pretty funny. Not sure how much he improvised in the finished film.

As a stand-up he's pretty bad, and his radio show is terrible too but i don't think he's entirely unfunny. He seems like a pretty intelligent guy and has made me laugh a few times on BBLB.

[pac-man]

I caught the tail-end of Necessary Roughness today, one of my favorite football comedies. It's worth noting that it's the best movie Rob Schneider and Sen. Fred Thompson ever did together.

[Cherry Nirvana]

Frontier(s) - One of the After Dark Horrorfest films. I loved it! Sure it was in French, but hey, I don't mind the subtitles.

[seesawbooy]

Snakes on a Plane about to watch 28 Weeks Later

[WhiteRat]

I caught the tail-end of Necessary Roughness today, one of my favorite football comedies. It's worth noting that it's the best movie Rob Schneider and Sen. Fred Thompson ever did together.

It's a classic no doubt but comes in at a distance second when compared to The Replacements.

[JakeOfAllTrades]

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

I watched this with my parents. Big mistake. Both of them hated it, and I think it traumatised my dad because he once had to save a bus driver from a mentally ill guy with a butcher's knife. I thought it was an enjoyable movie, but they despised it.

[Sacks]

The new Bangkok Dangerous, AND FUCK YOU IMDB IT WAS AWESOME.

[Cherry Nirvana]

The Love Guru - Super Lame.

[Ant10708]

Lilo and Stich - Never saw this Disney animated film until now. I liked it alot but I am a big alien nerd.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

In Bruges - with Colin Farrel, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes. Admittedly I wanted watch this because I really like Brendan Gleeson but Ralph Fiennes and Colin Farrell was an added treat. This movie really was amazing, I just finished watching it and might watch it again. Dark but hilarious. 4.5/5.

[pac-man]

Fargo was on Comedy Central this morning. They did a great job not editing the shit out of hit. Coen Bros. at their best.

[MetalMilitia]

Hancock - I wasn't really looking forward to this but as it got going I started to enjoy it. Fun film with great visuals.

Juno - I do like Juno but I'm not a huge fan of Ellen Page. I've heard interviews with her and she seems kind of narcissistic. Decent film though.

[WhiteRat]

Snatch

[Neen]

Tron for the first time, actually.

I get it it's a thinly veild metaphor for creationism. Yawn.

More speed bikes.

[Esuohlim]

Burn After Reading - This was a good movie! See this!

Idiocracy - Ugh! This movie sucked! Don't watch this!

[seesawbooy]

The Curve (1998)

Urban Legend has it that if you kill your college roomate, you get a 4.0 for the semester. So when Chris goes along with Tim pushing Rand off the curve, they have good reasoning for it. Besides, Rand is always being a jerk to his girlfriend Natalie who is Emma's roomate. After his girlfriend Natalie finds out about his death, she kills herself by jumping off the curve. Later Chris's girlfriend Emma tries to convince him that Tim is setting him up for the murder and trying to seduce her. Then suddenly Chris's girlfriend is taking a 4.0. Is Emma behind this too, is Rand really dead, and does Chris have something planned for Tim? If so why everyone is playing with each others head? Written by IMDB

[Cherry Nirvana]

Postal - Any movie where you can shoot old ladies in the face and even use little kids as shields for oncoming bullets is all right with me!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Hancock - I wasn't really looking forward to this but as it got going I started to enjoy it. Fun film with great visuals.

Juno - I do like Juno but I'm not a huge fan of Ellen Page. I've heard interviews with her and she seems kind of narcissistic. Decent film though.


I really liked Juno, it also made me realize Jason Bateman can play a dick very well.

I remember when this came out, my friend spoiled the ending for me, sounded pretty good.

[Fat Ugly Drunk]

My sister headed to Thailand yesterday and because I already see little of her we hung out for a day last week and decided to go see a movie (hopefully Dark Knight because we loved it and wanted to see it again, but they stopped showing it the week before, argh) and went to see Hellboy 2.
And we liked it.

But I watched Return of the Jedi last night simply because I found myself struggling to remember what the emperor sounded like.

[Kitsa]

I like Ellen Page, but not Juno. Then again, I've been a fan of her since she played Lahey's daughter in Trailer Park Boys.

I thought she was good in Hard Candy and I get that she's trying to choose intellectual roles that she feels good about, but they all seem about the same.

I couldn't stand the Juno dialogue, I thought they were trying WAY too hard.

Deathwatch - Low budget English horror film set in the trenches of WW1. This had the potential to be a really cool film, of all historical locations it's difficult to imagine one more horrific than WW1. The actors were adequate for the roles - the main character being played by the Billy Elliot kid - but the story never really took off and the whole affair felt a bit like a straight to TV film.

Waiting - I remembered liking this film when I first saw it. I think I quite liked the theme of growing up in a small town and watching your peers become "real people" while you remain in arrested development. Something I could relate to when I first watched it.
On the re-watch I could relate less-so and actually I can relate far more to the so-called "real people" that the film seems to resent so much. It all just comes across as slightly juvenile and petty.

[King Hadas]

Saw III - I didn't hate the first two saws, not movies I'd ever watch a second time but they had there moments. Saw I and II try to be psychological thrillers but don't quite work because there kind of stupid, this one drops all pretenses and becomes torture porn, a term that was coined for Hostel which I never thought was fair but is perfect for this movie. An inconsequential plot used only to string together a bunch of torture scenes, some of which are pretty diabolical I'll admit but I'm really not into that so I can't say I enjoyed this film.

[Fathom Zero]

Fargo was on Comedy Central this morning.

Wait, what?

[Kitsa]

We rented April Fool's Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fool%27s_Day_%28film%29) last night. I'd seen it in Junior High but I forgot how much it sucked.


- Who names their kid "Muffy"? Is that the only name a spoiled rich girl is allowed to have?

-For a plot revolving around a girl (two girls, if you're generous, and three girls if you buy into the plot) who is unnaturally good at drama, the acting is sure pretty terrible.

-5 (or 6, don't remember, don't care) college kids go to an island. Four (or five) of the actors are in their 20s and can be acceptable as college kids. One is supposed to be 20 and looks/acts/dresses like someone's mom.

- The only halfway scary moment in the movie is completely incongruous and never even explained.

- And at the end, NO ONE HAS REALLY DIED. This is especially bad because you've been wanting them all to die since the first two minutes of the movie :(

That movie is just awful.

[Tadao]

Just watched Iron Man this afternoon. I would watch a sequel. I also know nothing about the Iron Man universe.

[pac-man]

Wait, what?

That was a while ago now, but yeah, Fargo on daytime cable. They didn't edit the shit out of it either.

[MetalMilitia]

Dynamite Warrior - Really stupid storyline and ridiculous action but yet I enjoyed this a lot. Thai boxing is the new kung fu.

Mirrors - Exactly as bad as White Noise.

[Cherry Nirvana]

Don't Mess With the Zohan - I still hate Adam Sandler.

[RaNkeri]

The Giant Claw

It's as big as a battleship!!

The Rocketeer

We used to have a Rocketeer game on our PC back in the early 90s, I used to watch my brother playing it

[Sacks]

That's very touching.

[Guitar Woman]

Saw

I got thirty minutes into it before I said, "no, I don't think I will" and turned it off

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The Rocketeer

One of the most awesome movies ever made. I was debating going as the Rocketeer for Halloween this year.

[pac-man]

A.I.:Artificial Intelligence. First time I'd seen it since it was in theaters. Better than I remember.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Silent Hill again.

[Guitar Woman]

DETROIT ROCK CITY

IT WAS AWESOME

[MetalMilitia]

Zombie Strippers - Not as bad as I thought it would be. Had a few good laughs and at least one decent gross-out (two if you count Jenna Jameson's zombified tits :X).

[Madface]

20 minutes of hairspray- no excessive amount of dancing and whore jokes could ever make zac effron not a douche
Superbad again- still lewd, still wrong, still awesom

[Cherry Nirvana]

Puff Puff Pass - It had it's moments but I don't think I'd rent it again.

[pac-man]

The Flight of Dragons. Classic Rankin-Bass.

[MetalMilitia]

Dance of the Dead - Not terrible but unremarkable.

[kahljorn]

pineapple express -- i walked out :( Maybe (probably) it was just the pills but I havent felt this frustrated by any movie ever. They try so hard to be funny the entire time and I only found myself laughing occasionally. I didn't even laugh the first 20 minutes. I just felt embarrassed.

You probably shouldn't have gone then. They weren't going for comedy.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Departed

Rent

Heavy Metal

Dave Chappelle - For what its worth

Punch Drunk Love


I've had strep throat the last few days.

[bigtimecow]

adaptation - this movie is fucking brilliant

the movie is about charlie kaufman trying to write a screenplay for a movie, and he eventually gets the idea to write the screenplay for the movie about himself trying to write the screenplay for the movie. so you end up watching the movie that he's writing, while he's writing it. it's fucking awesome

same writer and director from being john malkovich, which i also urge all of you to watch

[WhiteRat]

Home Alone

Every 8 year old kid should be required to watch this movie. What with all the pedophiles and all.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

SAW 5 :(


I remembered why I don't watch SAW movies after SAW 2.

[Tadao]

I'm sure I'll like it anyways, I could give a shit about the plot, I just wanna see people punished Dante style.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

It might have been a scene they replayed from the last movie but I laughed my ass off when

some guy is underneath a pendulum and he needs to put his hands in something to get them ripped off to save himself. I kept thinking "Look Ma, no hands".

People next to me were mad but they can fuck themselves the hard way.

[kahljorn]

what was pineapple express supposed to be going for, then?

whatever they were going for it was stupid and i didnt like it

A weed-action movie. There's some some funny parts but it wasn't a comedy. Most people assumed it was because Seth Rogen and James Franco were in it.

Along the same line where people didn't like the Truman show when it came out because it wasn't funny.

[RaNkeri]

Spider-man 3

Even though it was a huge let down when compared to the other two movies, it's still a good movie
I just can't get over the fact how they gave Venom such a small role, he's my favorite spider-man villain :(

Can any of you nerds explain me, why does Venom have teeth and a tongue while he's in his symbiote costume, while Spider-man doesn't?

[kahljorn]

a weed action movie? That's retarded. No matter how you look at it they used that typical "Stoner humor" everywhere. And that's so gay did you even see the movie? They were constantly trying to crack jokes. The first 20 minutes was a retarded stoner joke. I'm sorry but you cant make a movie like that and then try to cop out and say that it wasn't supposed to be a comedy because it wasn't funny ;/
and i dont know if you know this but the action in that movie was like LOOK AT THE STONER GO HES SO STONED HES FALLING OVER :rolleyes NOT A JOKE NOT A JOKE LOOK THEY JUST HAD A SLAP FIGHT AND PLAYED FROGS NOT A JOKE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY AT ALL
I guess my point is that if it's supposed to be an action movie it still sucks cause that was completely unentertaining action

and stoners dont even act like that

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I have seen it. I've watched plenty of interviews where they stated it's a "Weed-Action" movie. Some interviews state it's a "Weed-Action Comedy" movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9szPl2h1kbI&feature=Responses&parent_video=AwSRFGCnBT0&index=0&playnext=1&playnext_from=RL

I liked the movie. I didn't think it was the greatest movie ever made or even the best movie any of the actors involved have been in. It was enjoyable though. I'm not going to condemn you to the abyss for not liking it. I might throw a jab or two though.


I thought the action in the movie was more along the lines of:

1. Where they have a fight in the guys apartment
2. The chase scene in the stolen police car.
3. The last 20-30 minutes.
4. There's others.


Than a bunch of stoners falling down and getting hurt.

Are you going to say Hot Fuzz wasn't an action movie?

[pac-man]

Ghostbusters. Possibly the greatest comedy ever.

[kahljorn]

yea but hot fuzz had action scenes where they shot people and killed them all sly and cool like weed action had people falling down and calling time out.

[Guitar Woman]

Mr. Smith goes to Washington

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Mr. Smith goes to Washington


Great movie



Tried getting my g/f to watch "The Royal Tenenbaums" and she fell asleep.

I don't think I'm going to bother with "The Life Aquatic".

[bigtimecow]

speaking of wes anderson and bill murray, everyone here should watch rushmore asap

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

It was between Rushmore and R.T. I thought she would enjoy R.T. more.

[Tadao]

Rushmore was great. So was The Royal Tenenbaums.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Being John Malkovich. Finally watched it and it was great.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Kung Fu Rascals

[Guitar Woman]

American Pop!

This is my favorite Bakshi movie so far.

[Tadao]

Return to Oz. I like it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Return to Oz was fucked up.

Went to Nick and Norah's infinite playlist. It was okay for a date.

[kahljorn]

royal tenebaums and rushmore and all of that guy's movies make me tired whenever i watch them ;/

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Because they're soothingly good?

[liquidstatik]

..

[Tadao]

I think the calming is from the music and the sound of the narrators voice. It's like a winter night movie by a soothing fire or some shit.

[kahljorn]

the movies also have kind of a snobbish boringness to them like harold and maude or something like that

[pac-man]

Bender's Game. It's funny, but moreso than the first two movies it really comes across as a long episode.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I have Harold and Maude but have never seen it. When I first saw the movie I thought Topher Grace was in it.

Looking forward to Futurama movie tomorrow. I didn't like Beast with a Billion backs at all.

[pac-man]

Then you will like Bender's Game. Different tone than BWABB altogether.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Just finished Bender's Game. This was amazing. Thanks Paccy. I was going to rent it but ended up buying it instead.

[MetalMilitia]

Pineapple Express - Meh. Not really that great. It was kind of like a Cheech and Chong film without cheech or chong. Some parts were funny but overall it was mediocre.

Tropic Thunder - At the start this was funny but slowly deteriated over the course of the film. Worth renting - not worth buying.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Went to Role Models last night. It was pretty good. Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott cohese pretty well. It wasn't anywhere near as good as "The Ten" or "Wet Hot American Summer" but still worth going to see.

[Ant10708]

Role Models: Was very funny. I'd recommend seeing it.

Friday the 13th

[dirtyxblondexdame]

I went to see Saw 5 last weekend -- they are just trying too hard now. Did anyone else feel like it was mostly made up of footage from the previous movies?

other than that, watched "Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film" last week. Love it.

[Tadao]

Really about saw 5? Dang :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

casino royale(2007) - still awesome

Tomorrow never dies - terrible

[BLEU]

Rear Window. I love the sassy in-home nurse.

[HappyHamster]

Just saw C.H.U.D. for the first time a night or so ago. I remember always wanting to watch it but never found the time...

[Battle Net Edition]

I concur with the opinions regarding role models.

[pac-man]

I saw Role Models, as well. It's rare that an R-rated comedy is laugh out loud and has a plot and characters that are interesting/likable.

[executioneer]

quantum of soclace, it was pretty good!

[BLEU]

Kung-Pow! Enter the Fist

Is it wrong that I still think this movie is hilarious? And WHERE'S the sequel already?

[seesawbooy]

Zack and Miri Make a Porno. 3.5 pickles out of 5

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The first half of Kung-Pow was awesome. Toward the end though it started to wane pretty hard.

If I could splice the first half of Kung-Pow and the second half of Anchor Man I would have a movie I liked the entire way through.

[ZeldaQueen]

Flushed Away/Shrek the Third (my dad was switching between them on the tv).

[Microshock]

I just saw Quantum of Solace twice in a row and I really love the movies. Casino Royale is still better but that's because it's just a classic in general right now.

This movie had a different tone, style, but it still works and Daniel Craig is still the best Bond ever.

And you finally get to know the organization Le Chiffre was in and Mr.White , etc.

Just don't expect you'll get a movie better than Casino Royale, that movie is so fucking good i bought the 2 disc blu-ray for 30 bucks.

And i'll buy the blu-ray for QOS first day too

[RaNkeri]

Batman

Man, this movie was such a nostalgia trip, it reminded me of the times when I used to have a toy batmobile with different functions and sound effects :(

[Guitar Woman]

The Cowboy Bebop movie!

Basically it was a 2 hour episode of the show with a bigger animation budget. Pretty good.

[LittleDollClaudia]

Repo! The Genetic Opera.

This movie has it all: organ repossession, sexy girls, music, blood, and Paris Hilton.

See it before it disappears from limited release!

[MetalMilitia]

Bill Bailey: Tinselworm - I saw this live last year and it was fantastic. Watched the DVD and though I preferred it live it was still funny.

Babel - Brilliant film. At first I was afraid it was going to be a bit slow and drawn out but within five minutes the film had completely captivated me.

Step Brothers - Best Will Ferrell film in a really long time. I'll definitely watch this again at some point.

[Angryhydralisk]

Bleach Season 2 when I get a DVD player or something set up. I wanna see what all the fuss is about.

[RaNkeri]

Season 2 was awesome :x

[kahljorn]

That show gets so gay ;/

[Guitar Woman]

Leekspin is pretty much the only good thing about Bleach.

[RaNkeri]

That show gets so gay ;/

agreed, it's been downhill ever since season 2 ended :(

[Battle Net Edition]

I just watched Tropic Thunder, which had some awesome moments. Also, watched through the Grindhouse movies. There still talk about making a Machete movie?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

We went to go see Twilight last night. It was okay except for all the feminism involved. They took some liberties with general lore as well:

Instead of blowing up when vampires go into sunlight they just glow and look like they're made of diamonds....lame.

You can also see them in reflective surfaces.

[Shrubfest]

Watched Queen of the Damned in 10 minute sections.

It make a lot more sense after you've read the book.

[Sam]

JACK BROOKS: MONSTER SLAYER.

I loved it.

[pac-man]

The Comebacks. I laughed, so I guess it gets the job done.

[WhiteRat]

Wall-E. It was free and surprisingly pretty entertaining.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Finished watching Screwed. One of my favorite movies. It doesn't get much better than Mcdonald, Chappelle and DeVito.

[RaNkeri]

Cop Land

I have seen this one so many times. It's simply awesome.

[MetalMilitia]

Wall-e: Really good film. Awesome animation.

Half of Ghosts of Mars: hahahahahah, this film is fucking shit.

[Sam]

POULTRYGEIST: NIGHT OF THE CHICKEN DEAD

IT HAS A BETTER SOCIAL COMMENTARY THEN DAWN OF THE DEAD. I LOVED IT!

LLOYD KAUFMAN RULZ

guys, j/k about Dawn of the Dead I love that movie. :(

[Ant10708]

Iron Man

Quantum of Solace: Felt more like a normal action movie than a real bond movie like

Casino Royale: awesome

The Brady Bunch Movie. Hadn't seen it in years and it's funnier than I remembered.

did you see it on TV? caught part of it the other night, wish i saw it all. love this movie

[pac-man]

Yeah, it was on HBO. There wasn't anything better on so I watched it and laughed my ass off. I think I just missed some of the jokes or they went over my head when I first saw it. Great call to keep the family the same and just place them in the 90's.

[Zhukov]

I saw Man on Wire about a week ago, and it's too hard to describe how emotional it was. I was close to tears of joy. Brilliant film.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Me and GF are trying to do a holiday movie day each week. Last night we watched Elf and Home Alone.

I think the highlight of Home Alone is Joe Peschi's face when his head is getting blowtorched.

Quantum of Solace

Not as good as Casino Royale, although this was a good movie and had great action. I lol'd at the nod to Goldfinger.

[WhiteRat]

Watched Hot Fuzz for the second time and it's just as hilarious as the first.

[executioneer]

mad max

man i love that ending scene and all the car wrecks, but i think maybe they coulda cut some of the incidental scenes it kinda drags in the middle

the road warrior
this movie is so great, even though a lot of it is so far over the top it's almost self-parodying, the action sequences make up for it.
WHAT A PUNY PLAN :eek

Star Trek Generations. Caught it on HBO last night and decided I had fond enough memories of it to watch it all the way through. It's alright, but the TNG crew really set the mark with First Contact.

After Walk Hard my expectations for that whole clique dropped a notch or two.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

did you watch past the first set of credits?

[Sam]

I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING. :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

bad times then. I enjoyed it. I watched the first half of Poultrygeist finally then had to leave for work. I have a bunch of friends that are it in but have to finish watching it.

[Sam]

Well, I didn't hate it, but I thought it was going to be better then it was. It started off good but just went downhill fast. :(

[pac-man]

The Fantastic Planet - They should review it.

[Kitsa]

Fantastic Planet is one of my favorites. You're referring to the French cartoon, right? I don't have it in English :(

We watched "The Strangers" last night and now I'm mad we spent $4 for the rental. What a piece of shit that was.

I've seen it in English and they got the gist of it.

Having nondubbed/nonsubbed French DVDs is a pain in the ass because you can't watch them with anyone who doesn't understand French :(
