Saw Step Brothers tonight. It had it's funny moments but I wouldn't suggest paying movie theatre prices for it.

Keaton and Nicholson kicked ass... when I was 15.
Bale and Ledger kick ass when I'm 34. There's plenty of love for both versions. Geeks grow up... even the ones who make movies. |
just watched Zodiac
such a well made film, damn.....the pacing and tone are perfect, it's epic in duration yet never once feels rushed....everything happens in its own due time Batman's one weakness is that it feels rushed at the end, the whole two-face episode occurs too fast to really have an emotional impact...Zodiac, in that regard, is flawless... how did that not win best film? that puts a lot of pretentious movies to shame... .... I also watched Zombie Strippers, which has the rare treats of Jenna Jamison quoting Nietzsche, and a zombie Jenna Jamison shooting pool balls out of her vag...yeah.....for real... |
The Wackness is really good. Kinda sad, actually... I didn't expect that.
See it, if you get a chance. |
I loved Stepbrothers. However, I enjoy 80% of "those" kind of movies and Ferrell's movies.

Anyone seen Idiocrisy? Its kinda stupid, but its worth a watch imo. lol
|
I watched "Go". Pretty good, though kinda short. I liked what it was going for and most of the actors in it. Just a little short or truncated, I can't figure out which.
|
Watched Charlie Wilson's War last night. Good flick. Philip Seymour Hoffman is great in that.
Also saw Meet Bill, another good one. Have in the queue for the weekend Lions for Lambs and Hard Candy. |

Saw 10,000 bc, had to shut it off half way through it was pretty boring....
Bank Job was a pretty decent flick. |
Anyone see harold and kumar 2, is that worth seeing?
I liked the 1st one |
Quote:
Harold and Kumar 2 had a few good laughs. Def worth a rental |
Quote:
10k bc looked good in bluray but that couldnt save it. Im suprised i lasted that long honestly |
Quote:
|
Chalk me up as another who made it through about an hour of 10000BC. Had I not been surfing the web, I probably wouldn't have made it that far.
|
I watched 10K BC all the way through. I didn't like it much, but I'd already heard how horrible it was so my expectations were very low. It wasn't the worst movie I've ever watched from beginning to end, but I can't recommend it to anyone.
|
Just watched Clockwork Orange. I loved most of it but thought the last 1/4 dragged its feet. And the ending seemed flat. Fitting but flat. Predictable but flat.
That said, some of the scenes and editing was amazing. I love Kubrick's feel. The 9th Symphony intercuts with Jesus was awesome. |

The bonus features on the DVD were interesting as well as they did a segment on the tattoos worn by the mobsters and Cronenberg was also saying how Viggo Mortensen was such a perfectionist that he had traveled to Russia and literally hung with some guys like his character and based on some Russians seeing his performance had nailed the walk,mannerisms and accent. I actually bought the film at Hastings for like $6 and damn glad I have it as part of my collection now. |

It's a twist on the predator/prey tale, and fairly well executed. I thought Ellen Page and Patrick Wilson both portrayed their characters very well. |
Quote:
ordered it on demand since i had a free coupon. watched the unrated version... It was over the top and they tried way too hard on alot of the jokes...it gave me a few laughs but not worth owning like the 1st one. And yes 10k bc is one of the worst movies ever |
Quote:
But then, it's been a while... and I expected it to suck. Low expectations, and all... |
I love in H&K 2 when John Cho pops out for just a second in the library flashback scene.
|
Yeah it wasnt a bad flick at all, i now have the other boylen girl and jumper headed my way from netflix...1 for the gf 1 for me
Saw never back down this past weekend, typical fast and furious style type movie, wasnt bad, rent only if you like to see stupid hs kids fight that look like their in their mid 20's |

Cleaner - What? Sam Jackson, Ed Harris and Eva Mendes? I'm in! Trouble is, it just wasn't very good. Mediocre "thriller" through and through. If you can't find anything better to rent, give it a shot. But don't bother putting it at the top of your queue.
Vantage Point - I really wanted to like this movie, but just too many holes and too predictable. It's watchable, but in the end I was disappointed. Lars and the Real Girl - Not a bad little indy type flick. Some pretty funny scenes, and ultimately a feel good movie. Ryan Gosling was very good. |
Felon with Val Kilmer and Steven Dorff. I really enjoyed that flick. Its all kinds of ****ed up.

If anyone is interested in seeing more Christian Bale flicks, due to the popularity of TDK, I'd recommend The Machinist as well as Equilibrium. The latter is a dystopian 1984-clone, but still awesome. The Machinist is almost like a neo-noir version of Memento with a phenomenal physical performance by Bale.

Alien vs. Predator Requiem : That was as bad as I'd read it was. Way too dark, and some really hokey scenes that didn't have the intended effect. Some decent special effects, and Jesse at the pool was nice. Otherwise, don't expect much and it will meet your expectations.
|
I watched "Death at a Funeral" earlier tonight and it was pretty hilarious. Well worth a rental if you enjoy black comedies.

He may be down, but he damn sure ain't out. I liked 300 more than Ebert, but this is some quality writing.

I watched There Will Be Blood today and I have to say it is one of the slowest, most boring, un-entertaining, waste-of-time movies I've ever seen in my life.
0 stars out of 5 |
Harold and Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay...WAY BETTER than the first one.

Quote:
I just watched jumper last night, entertaining and stupid, no real plot line or origin on the jumpers or whatever. 2/5 stars |

So i'll definetly give it a shot. Heard it was supposed to be good...probably couldve gotten it the first week but i hold off for the blurays on certain movies |

I think I'll download a movie tonight just for you |

I think it's pretty silly to call someone a moron for not liking a particular film. |
Quote:
:rolleyes: In all seriousness... you're downing a movie that was widely praised, by both critics and audiences alike (92 percent at Rotten Tomatoes), and I'm the one who's out of step. |

Im in the middle of it....it is interesting so far...

Matter of fact, I'll link it here for you. CLICK HERE. When Phil called me, I told him I'd be back. How is that saying I'm leaving forever? Maybe I missed it. :shrug: |

Quote:
And yes, for the record, the note about me leaving was to make a "point". I wasn't crying, trying to get everyone to talk me back in. I was off the board for three or four months or something like that. Honestly can't remember how long I was gone. The "point" of the thread was that because of a number of douchebags CP was losing a fairly long-time, productive member for a while. And call me a drama queen if you wish (though you're making a rather large stink over a pretty innocuous comment yourself), but I wanted it known that I was pissed. If you want to know what really led me to the hiatus, I'll be happy to let you know. The American Gangster thread was just the tip of the iceberg. Certainly not the straw that broke the camel's back. Maybe now we can just let it rest and get back to talking about movies? I'll make sure next time I call you a moron to include the smiley so there's no confusion. Like whatever you like man, don't like whatever you don't like. Here's a few for me that go against the flow: I think Will Farrell movies absolutely suck ass. Can't stand the guy. Feel the same way about Jim Carrey comedies. Can't stand Monty Python. I like Dick Tracy. I didn't think Battlefield Earth was really that bad. I don't think Pamela Anderson is attractive, nor do I think Jada Pinkett Smith is attractive. I do, however, find Maggie Gyllenhaal very sexy. Feel free to call me a moron on any and/or of the above. |
Knock this shit off. Lets keep it to movie talk.
Anyone see Pineapple Express yet? |

I watched Guide for the Married Man this morning. That movie is friggin' funny as hell. Great cast, including Robert Morse and Walter Mathau. |

Finished "there will be blood" admitted it was long and took awhile to get going...not a whole lot of 'wow' factor but i liked it, the end was kinda crazy. id say its worth seeing once

Here's a strange of observations I happened upon yesterday [and it's gonna take two posts]. I had finally watched The Deer Hunter all the way through this weekend and [as I often do] sought Ebert's insights to augment my own
