Movie Review Thread

I thought the ending monologue was amazing.

eerr...to each his own I guess.

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.

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.

Did you really just admit you are gay

Planet Terror was awesome by the way

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

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

Watched this last night on Netflix. Outstanding documentary, tough to watch if you have any sympathy for animals.

[Martok]

Finally saw Men In Black 3 about a week and a half ago. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised: Good action, funny lines, and a great performance by Josh Brolin as the younger Agent K.


Nothing hugely special, but it was a fun summer popcorn flick. I'd rate it a solid 4/5.

[Major Robert Dump]

Season of the Witch.

Terrible cheesefest with a lame "gotcha" ending. I should expect no less from mainstream nick cage these days. He was so much cooler in raisiing arizona and moonstruck, this crap blows

Hannah was actually pretty good. A mystery/action flick with some good laughs at the expense of british pop girls

God Bless America was pretty horrible. the paralleles to todays crap pop culture were cute, and the idea of killing people who deserve it is very dexterish, but the movie was full of sopabox speeches and that crap gets old real quick. way too preachy and factually iannacurate

now off to watch The Other Guys, which will probably be better than the aforementioned 3 movies put together

[Major Robert Dump]

REVENGE OF BATMAN WAS REALLY GOOD I WAS SO HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE YODA FIGHT.
