I like to go to comedies in theaters. Now I go to the expensive theaters with big comfy seats and you can bring in drinks from the bar. There hasn't been a comedy worth seeing in a long time though, unless I missed one.

THE EXPENDABLES. |
Grand Theft Parsons. Was actually a pretty good movie.
|
Inception. I really enjoyed it.
I'm used to good special effects now days, but this movie has really good special effects! :) |
I'd like to watch the extras on inception.

Observe and Report, because my brother wants that cake as a bday cake:
![]() It had some funny moments. That was the year of the "mall cop" movie. |
It didn't get enough props coz of that Kevin James abortion, though.
|
Ray Liotta is one of those guys who shows his stage makeup too well, though. It's something in the eyes. I think that Ed Helms kind of has problems with that too.

What I learned from Tron Legacy:
1) I can't wait for the future where we all wear sexy body suits. Hot damn. 2) Whoever wrote the lines for this movie should be fired and kept away from any kind of writing mechanism for the rest of his life. Jesus Christ. 3) I would do horrible things to Olivia Wilde even if her bangs were horribly crooked. The way she reacted to every line in the movie like it was the most fascinating thing she ever heard just made it even better. At first I thought the movie would be amazing (the whole "ISOs" concept was pretty neat) but the plot just reverts back to stupid action mush, the characters have some awful lines, and the action scenes got a little confusing in a few spots cause 90% of the screen is black. It could be worse, but it could be way better. Oh, and the digital Jeff Bridges was really impressive if you didn't focus on him for too long. |

The whole thing was nonsensical... but I agree that it was pretty dark. I'm not 100% on why it was billed as a wacky comedy.

bounce ko gals -
some shitty movie about japanese compensating dating kirikou and the wild beasts - obviously not as good as the original, but i'll enjoy just about anything michel ocelot has done cria cuervos - i guess people like it since it has a criterion collection re-release. it wasn't so bad, just boring. also it stars one of charlie chaplin's daughters. i noticed the name in the opening credits but didn't want to immediately assume she was a daughter... but then she appeared on screen. |
Friday the 13th ( The remake;'09) - For everyone that saw the first "Friday the 13th" dont kill me for saying this but I never saw the 1st one. I hope the first one was really good because the remake kind of sucked. It was kind of the same as any other scary movie. Same Ole cliches; Rowdy college kids show up to woods for a camping trip or whatever. Overly sexual couple are one of the first too die, Soon after the only black guy in the film dies next for trying to act so tough [ Puts up a good fight though. ] Boy and his cautious girlfriend face off killer. Boy ends up getting killed off and girl runs off. Seems like she's the only one out of rowdy bunch to survive but later on at the end, Suprise ! Killer pops out of no where and kills her. Turns out he's not dead after all and here comes a sequel.
Sorry. I tend to babble and something tells me I watch too much television. Renata ( spanish movie ) - I just love a good foreign movie with subtitles. Romance movie and quite a tear jerker. Drag Me To Hell - Hate it, Hate it, Hate it. I thought this movie would be really good and scary but watching the first few minutes of it I wanted to claw my eyes out. I was expecting a Horror film, not a Horror comedy. I think I'm the only one who hated this film because everyone seemed to just love it. Maybe because I absolutley hate Horror comedys? Yea. Ninja Asassin - I love ninjas ! & Assassins ;) This movie is pretty good in my opinion. Of course I could be saying this because of my strange obsession with Ninjas.. The story was pretty off but all the blood and gore made up for it. :) |
fuck that, give me five element ninjas anyday.
(and yeah, the f13 remake was balls) |
Epic ! :love
|
you can see the full thing on youtube. from what i remember, it's worth watching. if i remember right, the plot is basically a bunch of ninja saying that they are better fighters than the chinese, and then they kill a bunch of chinese, and then a couple of chinese dudes learn how to fight back and kill a bunch of ninja.
good stuff. generally shaw brothers wuxia films are. |
Drag me to hell was great but I was expecting it to be splatstick. This local channel had a bad ninja marathon on the other day.
Enter the Ninja and Revenge of the Ninja. |
I'm sick of all the animal-killing in the latest round of horror movies (Drag Me to Hell, Halloween, whatever that one was where the guy in the leather mask stalked the people in the house and killed that cat in the window)
|
Animal cruelty is a common trait of psychopathic killers.
|
I understand that, but I think that the nature of the portrayals has been a bit gratuitous. There's always some sick fuck out there who will have a lightbulb go off over his/her head when they see it.

i'm not a big fan of animal killing in films, but that's because i like animals.
i very distinctly remember the scene from fear, which i saw well over a decade ago, in which the boy blows the dog whistle to call the pup back inside, and then mark whalberg pushes the severed dog head through the dog-door. :( fuck that movie! |

Introduced my nephew to the awesomeness that is Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.
I forgot how scary the cobras are though, I think he might have nightmares. :\ |
wait, the chuck jones cartoon?
there's a soviet animated version of that story and it's a much more stylized affair and it's great. |
I bought that movie when I was pregnant. I love mongooses :( I used to have a Dwarf Mongoose adopted at the Brookfield Zoo when I lived in Chicago.
The cobras are scary as fuck though. |

Well, there is a certain type that goes right to humans and there's a certain type who prefers small and defenseless to start with. It's a whole sociopathic spectrum.

By lightbulb, you mean raging boner, amirite?
|
Just watched House (Hausu). Such a very indescribable movie but over all very intriguing. I never really knew it went to the Criterion collection.
|
they just released it in october
|
Tron Legacy was really, really good
but none of my friends think so :( |
A relative of mine said the 3d was absolutely unnecessary.
|
Fuck I hate 3d. I find it always unnecessary and gimmicky. :\
|
Anyone see Resident Evil in 3d? I wonder if that was a movie ruiner as well. :(
|
Yeah I can't imagine a lot of movies that can benefit from 3d mode.
Except maybe Jackass :lol |
I can't wait for "_________ Movie" guys to make 3D Movie.
|
Why? So you can not watch it too :lol
|
yesterday santa's slay was on tv i liked however i feel like santa had to do more killings
|
True Grit is the better Jeff Bridges movie.

Quote:
The only cool parts were the move for move reenactment of the Wesker, Chris, Jill fights from the Resident evil 5. Except in the movie it was Wesker, Chris and Claire. |
Chris? They actually decided to add an element from the game to the movie? :eek
|
Quote:
I hear its even better than the original. I REALLY want to go see this. Maybe tonight. :picklehat |
Yeah, since RE:...the 2nd(apocolypse maybe) one they've had Jill in it. and Claire in another.
I actually really liked the 2nd one |
That latin looking guy? Didnt he die in the 3rd movie? I thought he was more supposed to be that guy running around with Jill in the 3rd game.
|
Carlos or something I believe was in the 2nd movie(3rd game) Chris was in the newest one. The 3rd movie is kinda hazy for me though.
|
Yeah Carlos or whatever was in the 2nd movie then showed up in the 3rd to die. I dont know why I give a crap about this because I think the movies suck balls. The first one was OK at best.
|
I watched Centurion. It was worth renting/watching once.
|
Just saw The Refrigerator, best god damn campy horror film ever. It's an absolute must see for anyone that loves campiness.

I could totally give you a copy if you'd like, free of charge. Consider it a late Christmas present.
|
I don't have a VCR at all :(
|
Oh the glory of torrents and a DVD burner ;)
I'll even throw in The Stuff, The Pit, The Willies, the entire House collection (1-4), and Popcorn. |
Those are some really good movies, Babs. House 1 is a favorite of mine. :)
|
If you ever want any good horror movies, you know who to talk too.
|
What torrent client do you use Babs? I need a new one.
|
I wish there was a place I could pay to get Na'vi translated to Japanese.
|
I actually use Cinemageddon and Karagarga.
|
babs, can you PM me an invite to karagara pretty please? I can give you an invite to demonoid or xtremewrestlingtorrents :< Or send you cookies.
|
I have demonoid already but I can see what I can do. By the way, Cinemageddon is A LOT better than Karagarga (has a better selection and more variety) in my opinion a long with easier to keep a better ratio.
|
I'd be interested in both and would send you a whole batch of homemade shortbread dipped in ghiradelli dark chocolate. Srsly.
|
Do you got anything that isnt for elitist jerks but still good?
|
You mean my trackers or the actual client I use? Because I just use uTorrent for my client. If you're speaking about the tracker, I could send you an invite to Demonoid if you wanted.
|
Oh man, I would love to have an invite to Demonoid, but all I got in return is just some Voddler invites, which are useless 'cause registration is apparently free nowadays. :\
Anyway, back to topic. Just watched Buried and Black Swan. Buried was a little dissapointing after hearing so much praise for the film, but it had me on the edge of my seat most of the time. Ryan Reynolds managed to be a lot less Ryan Reynolds than usual, so I didn't have the urge to carve my own flesh. Decent movie, which will be erased from my memory within a month. Black Swan was another letdown. I expected so much after I saw the trailer and especially after the phenomenal "The Wrestler", but all I got was some watered down "The Tenant". I didn't really care for the characters, so even the horror parts didn't do nothing for me. I didn't exactly hate the movie, but it was just a big MEH. Maybe i'll see it again some time, if I just wasn't in the right mood for the film or some shit. |
I've got a bunch of Marx Brothers set to record on TCM on the 31st.
|
A Night at the Opera is my absolute favorite Marx Brothers movie.
Watched Arsenic and Old Lace; another classic favorite of mine. |
Just got back from seeing Gulliver's Travels.
It's a very standard Jack Black movie. Pretty much everything you think will happen does. There's no new ground broken there. |
he shoulda played a yahoo instead of gulliver
|
I guess I can't have a problem with it, because that's his whole thing, and there are funny parts. But I don't need a spoiler tag when I say that he saves the day with a big musical number because EVERYONE KNOWS IT WILL HAPPEN.

rebel without a cause -
had never seen it. disappointing. i don't get why so many people like it, or james dean. jason and the argonauts - again, had never seen it. harryhausen is great. the movie itself was so-so, but worth it for the animated skeletons alone. totally. i like when special effects took effort. blue velvet - oh my god, fuck david lynch. such great reviews, such awful films. i think tonight we're watching the newest incarnation of metropolis. |
I like Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, and Mulholland Drive. Eraserhead is the only movie too creepy for me to watch all the way through, which gets props from me. I don't like Dune and Inland Empire is just intellectual masturbation. Rabbits and Dumbland are great, though.
|
Confessions of a Shopaholic.....it was on after Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood.
|
Despicable Me - Good for a kids cartoon. At least the story is somewhat original. (I think :( )
Devil - Only good if you are really bored and want to watch a total of 8 people interact. The Other Guys - I laughed a couple of times. Resident Evil: Afterlife - Suckfest 2011 |
saw true grit. Thought i was gonna see a gritty western but saw a comedy in a western setting with a little kid.

I saw the Family Stone recently and it's pretty good. It's not overly chick-flicky and the family in the movie reminds me a lot of my own. So there ya go.
|
I'm trying to watch The Horde. I have no idea what the fuck is going on. Understanding French does not help me here.

HAPPY 100 PAGES!

Last night,I watched the Resident Evil:Afterlife,I found the moive keep the tradition of the series Resident Evil–Hot Girls,Handsome Boy and Cool Action.Original director-writer Paul W.S. Anderson returns for this fourth installment in the science-fiction action series based on the popular videogames. Milla Jovovich is back as Alice, who has superhuman powers due to a favorable reaction to the T-virus that has turned most of the rest of humanity into zombie mutants. Alice storms the evil Umbrella Corporation’s headquarters in Tokyo with dozens of clones of herself in an attempt to take out Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts), the head of Umbrella. Alice barely escapes with her life, but she is thankful that Wesker injected her with a T-virus cure that makes her human again. Alice takes off in a two-seater plane to find signs of life. Her first scenic stop is Alaska, where she is reunited with Claire Redfield (Ali Larter), who is suffering from amnesia. The two fly to Los Angeles and land on a high-rise prison roof downtown in an attempt to help some survivors that are flagging them down. Claire is surprised to find her brother, Chris (Wentworth Miller), inside. Together they fight the zombie mob pounding its way inside the complex and escape to the Arcadia—a ship transmitting a signal that promises safety for humans but is really a trap set by Wesker.

Look what you did, Tadao. LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID.
|
NO WAY! It's because Zhukov quoted me!
|
"Eat, Pray, Love" at my mother's request. My GOD what a fucking painful chickflick patronizing slog of a movie.
|
I finally got to see "The Hangover", the most over-hyped comedy since Superbad. At first I was afraid it was going to be wacky and awful like Dude Where's My Car, and then I was pleasantly surprised with how grounded the movie was in reality, for the most part. Until we get to the Mike Tyson and Chinese mafia scenes, then I completely lost interest.
|
Paranormal Activity, again because my mother hadn't seen it and wanted to.
It's even more stupid and horrible the second time around. The only suspense is waiting for the scary to happen. It never does. MEEEEECCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH |
Tron 2.0 Legacy the 2nd one.
It was radical. |
Lol, I refuse to watch superbad because after 5 minutes I start day dreaming about anything else.
|
I watched about 1/4 of Superbad before realising that I didn't find it funny so probably shouldn't waste my time.
|
metropolis -
i do prefer talkies, but this movie is great. i love the motions of the machine man witch lady the samurai trilogy - could have used more duels and less lady-whining, but i guess that was the point of the films anyway. i loved how much was shot outside, especially in the first one. also it's mifune so it's automatically good. rosemary's baby - much better than i expected. had never seen it before. |
1990 The Bronx Warriors is pure 80s cheese and I love it. Also, Fred Williamson.
|
if I wanted to see a stupid movie to laugh at would DEVIL be a good movie or would i just feel frustrated
|
I actually didn't think Devil was as ridiculously bad as I expected.
I definitely agree about the Hangover, though. Fuck, do I ever hate that movie. |
It wasn't bad, it was just boring in parts.
|
Devil - my buddy and I watched this last night for movie night. It was really bad, like, hilariously bad. He figured out the entire plot the first fifteen minutes in so we only stuck with it to see if he was right or not. and of course the ending was painfully weak, as it always is with m. night films.
Black Swan - I really hated it. I think it was sorta like scott pilgrim and I was just expecting too much going in. I only saw it as a huge waste of potential. Hang over/super bad - agreeing with you guys, both were lame -- they all are these days though:( I think the worst movie i've ever seen though has got to be Wanted. It was like they just threw in a bunch of cliched elements from ever other hollywood film and gave up. Morgan Freeman as the narrator, some ancient asian legacy, some secret messages that are hidden in cloth for the secret underground society that is saving the world and the typical father/son dynamic and then angelina jolie in leather... I can still complain about it and it's been years! |
Yeah, I hated Wanted.
I don't know if I would have hated it more if it had stayed true to the comic (which it didn't) though, since I hated the comic too. |
I don't think I've heard of Wanted until now.
|
Its the one where they can CURVE/ARC a bullets trajectory by flicking their wrists while shooting a gun. I watched a video of the gameplay for the Wanted: videogame and the blindfire ability is like throwing a grenade but with bullets.
|
OH GOD, IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW, never watched it thank god.
