Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

Did the imaginary man come out and bite you in the ass? I never said you said that. There are plenty of people and articles that have though.

Your comment to me is quite puzzling since I neither quoted you are typed your name.

Griselda was crazy? Or still is? She is still alive and living freely.

Have you seen #2?

Revolutionary Road.
Meh. Overrated. Only part worth watching is the last 15 minutes.

A while back we were talking about the new movie 'Taken'. I mentioned a miniseries of the same name, and this is the link to the first clip:

Watched a documentary "Heckler" the other day. It's about people who heckle comedians, movie and music critics. It's hosted by Jamie Kennedy who confronts all the critics who have talked shit about his movies and the hecklers at his comedy shows. It was pretty funny because the critics never back off their stances and Kennedy comes off sounding like a whiney bitch.

Just re-watched Pitch Black. It had been awhile since I had seen it; really an underrated sci-fi/horror film. I love the Riddick character, and they could have done so much with it, but decided to try for an epic, larger than life turd in "Chronicles". Hopefully, someday they re-visit that character with a better script.

And Claudia Black is ****ing well hot, in case you haven't received that memo yet.

I dont agree. Love Pitch Black. Loved Chronicles of Riddick as well. I liked how they expanded the Universe. The Necromongers were great baddies.

See, to me, Pitch Black and Chronicles are kind of like Matrix and Matrix Reloaded. Both of the sequels were good, but not as good as the original, just because they tried to get "too big" with the story. I could be nitpicking some, but Pitch Black just seemed stronger than Chronicles because it was more concise of a story; Chronicles was trying to take on a whole universe worth of storytelling. Although I did enjoy Chronicles, I never felt as "in" to that maove as I did Pitch Black.

Like I said, the Riddick character is a prototypical sci/fi storyline in waiting. I hope they can continue on with it.

Bowser · 01-30-2009, 05:57 PM

And speaking of Vin Diesel fueled sci/fi, anyone have a review of Babylon A.D.?

Who the ****, besides the elderly perhaps, is going to be intimidated by Jamie Kennedy?!?!?

I agree. I really liked Pitch Black, but Chronicles felt like it was all style and no substance. Fantastic visuals, and not much else.

To me, im amazed they were able to make a sequel to Pitch Black.

Im fairly certain it was meant to be just a cheap, stand alone, sci-fi horror flick.

It turned out much better than that though....

TrickyNicky · 01-30-2009, 10:52 PM

Wrong thread, but if you're a Riddick fan, they are re-making the original Xbox game Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay for the 360. It was, and still is, one of the best movie franchise --> video games ever imo (excluding anything Star Wars of course).

KCChiefsMan · 01-30-2009, 11:26 PM

Pineapple Express was pretty good

Step Brothers not so much, didn't care for it.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-31-2009, 12:26 AM

So this week I watched Bangkok Dangerous (a pretty shitty flick with all kinds of dumbassery, IMO), and just got back from watching The Strangers at one of my friends' houses. Dumbass ****ing movie, but I tend to hate all horror movies because no one has a goddamned bit of common sense.

I'm going to go watch Taken tomorrow. Hopefully it's as good as the previews look.

Nick Cage looked like a goofball, but I still liked it. I think the deaf chick made it a little better than it should have been.
The whole "apprentice" thing was bullshit though.
