Don't mind if I join you?

Um

Serbian Film.

Yeah. I would say as bad as, if not worse than, Human Caterpillar 2, although the violence seemed to be a bit more motivated and believable than HC2.

I actually thought it was a good movie, because over the top disgusting violence for the sake of violence does not disturb me, but I ca see how it would not appeal to the 99%

Hobo With A Shotgun - 0/5 Stars
I just saw HWaS since Frags recommended it. It sucks. That is honestly one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. Seriously Frags, you like that and not the Expendables? I just don't understand... :P

HAHA

It's intentionally awful, and everybody is into the joke. Yeah it's a terrible movie but with a wink. It has a wealth of stupid oneliners, and let's not forget two villains who kill people with portable gallows. So it's a 5/5 by law. It's obvious that they were just having a great time making it, and that is where The Expendables failed so miserably, it's so joyless. Awesome action, but only Dolph Lundgren is a fun character. With such a cast it should have been a joy, but it's so sterile. Will of course be watching the sequel anyway.

Machine Gun Preacher
9/10

I liked the topic. Funny how that whole issue gets ignored by the west for the past 20 years and picks up traction due to some hippie docudrama... yet the subject of this film has been boots on ground over there for the past decade fighting the good fight and it gets ignored by good hollywood

I guess I just didn't see the charm. :P
Come now, Jet Li's character was funny as heck too. Statham's was pretty funny as well. Expendables wasn't a comedy. Despite being a cheesy action movie, it had a very dark, serious message and story line. They couldn't have had too much fun without devaluing that.

The Grey - 2/5
I heard excellent things about this movie, so I was excited to finally get it out at Redbox and see it. I gotta say, I was very disappointed. It was horribly unrealistic on so many levels. It was pulled off rather poorly, with way too much drama with him and his wife. I gotta say, it was very disappointing.

I thought the ending monologue was amazing.

Hobo with a Shotgun is intentionally bad to a point, and then it's just...bad. The pacing sucked, nothing was funny, the (non) actors were all terrible, and it looked like it was filmed on a VHS camcorder. Planet Terror is a movie where its intentionally corny but also a well made, entertaining action movie apart from that.

[Fragony]

Did you really just admit you are gay

Planet Terror was awesome by the way

...what?

It's ok I don't think any differently about you, it's not wrong just different

Girl next door, cool highschool comedy. It's actually very moving, good feelgood fun with porntypes.

Yup. It's one of those movies which have a bit of everything expected in their genre, balanced out. Lot of fun.
Plus Elisha Cuthbert

[Peasant Phill]

I also really like the girl next door. "the juice is worth the squize".

[Fragony]

The Ruins, cool horror flick. It scores very high on the worst fate ever in a horror movie. The worst still has to be The Burrowers or The Thing

[Major Robert Dump]

Finally got to see the True Grit remake. Pretty good, better than the original. Not up there with my favorite Westerns, but some of the best closing lines of any movie

Apologize to Marion.

[Fragony]

Valley of Elah, excellent war-drama, beautifully acted at a very calm pace. Highly recommended.

[Major Robert Dump]

Apologize to Marion.

Marion Barry?

Just not a big JW (or marion) fan. Most of his stuff was corny. Maybe it was cool in the day. I liked his darker, later stuff. The Searchers was cool, and The Shootist was pretty awesome. Him as a clumsy drunk I just didn't buy, it was more comedic, and the novel was not comedy, it was about a depressing drunk and a snide little girl.

BTW a good drinking game to play is to watch Green Berets and take a drink everytime he says "move out." Another ridiculous movie

[Fragony]

Way of War. It's rare to find a movie this terrible. It's really one of the most boring movies ever.

[Hooahguy]

Anyone see the new Spiderman movie?

[Prussian to the Iron]

I really liked it, it felt like Peter was more of a person than some whiny ***** like he was in the other trilogy. He had some real development as well (at some points he actually does some kind of alpha things, but most of the time is still the nerdy awkward kid). I wished the ending had cut off as Martin Sheen's monologue ended, partially because it would be kind of different and unique in it's ending, not being all "everything is great and all's well for Spiderman".

I can't offer a real analysis or review of it, but I enjoyed it a lot more than the other trilogy's starter.

[Peasant Phill]

Saw "Percy Jackson and the lightning thief" this weekend. They went for a Harry Potter style but failed miserably. Poor, predictable story, boring characters, ... The thing that bothered me the most was that they apparently thought that the underworld and Hades were the same as hell and the devil. People, if you're basing your story o,n a rich mythology, please stick with it. Also that Greek gods and creatures are all based in the US ...
I'm sure the books were little help to this.

Tried to watch The Girlfriend Experience because it's got that hot ex-porn lady in it, but I only made it 15 minutes (pun not intended!). Her voice is the worst.

[Major Robert Dump]

Sasha Grey. My ex wife looked like her, come to think of it, that was why I married her. Not the foundation for a lasting relationship. She is also in Entourage, which I don't watch.

On a related note, I heard her name dropped somewhere and couldn't remember where I knew her from. So I read the wikipedia article, and I now know more about her pornographic awards history than anyone, including her, should.

Your a bit too young for the sasha grey glory days. Personally, not a huge fan.
