Agreed. Loved the scene early in the movie when they rescued the female CIA agent. The car chase, particularly how they escaped, was awesome!

Buehler445 05-26-2012 11:23 PM

Watched Hitman. I'm usually a Timothy Olyphant fan, but this was awful. Bourne wannabe and wasn't particularly good at being unoriginal.

Re-watched Annapolis. I forgot how damn good that show is. Franco is really excellent.

Micjones 05-27-2012 02:52 PM

Saw "Battleship" today. It was better than I expected it to be.
Lots of shit getting 'blowed up'. If you can get past the war propaganda and the fact that it stands in no danger of a "Best Picture" nomination...you'll enjoy it.

Saw this and thought the same - I was actually shocked I liked it. Watched "Bidesmaids", "Iron Sky", "Hangover II" and latest "Ghost Rider" all were pretty good.

Red Brooklyn 05-27-2012 05:52 PM

Watched "Drive" the other night.

Albert Brooks is in it... but it wasn't funny at all!

Avengers - meh. I thought it was pretty slow and boring.

KCUnited 05-28-2012 01:28 PM

Knuckles - Instant play on Netflix about some Irish gypsies bare knuckle, fair fighting over some inbred-fused family drama.

I was entertained and came away feeling fantastic about how long my arms are.

I'm kinda itching to hit a movie tonight, but I've seen quite a few of the movies currently in theaters. The others...I flat don't want to see.

Saw it...wasn't bad. If you liked Borat, it wasn't quite as good, but I still enjoyed it. I didn't see Bruno, but I heard it was better than Bruno.

I guess, what I was trying to say, is that it's somewhere in between Borat and Bruno, or so I've heard. I agree that it wasn't quite as good as Borat, but it was still decent.

I'll see this. I like Anne Hathaway, and I know she's got a good voice, though I'm not convinced by this trailer. And while I'm not a Hugh Jackman fan, I know he's done a few stints in musicals on Broadway. But I'm nervous about Russell Crowe as Javert. I'm going to be royally pissed if he ends up speaking/burping most of his lyrics, a la Gerard Butler in Phantom.

Really? You liked it? I just watched it yesterday and was sorely disappointed. It seemed like a Hangover/American Pie wannabe movie that just didn't develop any kind of interesting storyline, and really lacked in character depth. Most everything that happened was really laughably stupid to the point that it was impossible to just disengage the brain and enjoy a stupid movie. Even for a silly party movie.

Super excited for this.

Big fan of both Jackman and Hathaway. But I agree completely about concerns with Russel Crowe.

This trailer looks much better than I expected.

I tend to enjoy bad acting at an hour 20, hour 30, but 2 hours pushed it for me even though I understand he was trying to emphasize the deterring situation. It was the twisted that mitigated the horrific acting and ultimately kept me watching.

Yup. Really wish they had cast Mark Strong instead. Crowe is going to be awful as Javert.

blaise 06-03-2012 06:34 PM

I can definitely see Crowe as Javert. I think he'll be fine. My problem is Hathaway annoys me. I really don't know why, but I almost can't watch anything she does.

QuikSsurfer 06-03-2012 07:51 PM

I was hanging out with my 5 year old niece today and she wanted to watch a movie.. I dug around my old VHS box and found this gem:

We both thoroughly enjoyed it (I hadn't watched it since I was 8). Found tons of these golden oldies in the attic.

Russell Crowe isn't a stranger to music. He's been involved in a handful of music projects. Here's a sample:

I know he sings, but I'm very concerned about his voice for the role.

I'm sure it is, atleast some of the problem was surely me, just dont think i was ready to immerse myself into that kinda movie... it requires an adult attention span, you definitely have to 'keep up'.

I'll try again before i take it back.

Yeah, but it's not going to be in a theatre where he has to project as much, I don't think. If you're Javert live in a theatre in front of an audience it's one thing, but it seems like it would be easier on a set where they could add production.
Not that I know that much about singing.

The slowest movie I remember that I have watched multiple times, in fact I bought the DVD is "The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" starring Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck, Sam Rockwell, Jeremy Renner, Sam Shepard, Mary Louise Parker and others. It's 160 minutes and I gave it a 10.

Apparently, its strategy was to build up momentum in the limited release role by word of mouth. I'm looking forward to its wide release, but I don't think there's a lot of momentum building, as far as I can tell.

That's usually the case for Anderson, no? I don't remember any buzz for Fantastic Mr. Fox, Rushmore or The Royal Tenenbaums. The Life Aquatic is the only movie I can think of that had a lot of momentum going in.
