Kurt Russel made me like that movie more than all of Kill Bill.
it's good fightin wise, but like with all thai action films don't go in for the plot because 9 times out of 10 its just a flimsy excuse to see dudes kick people in the headQuote:

I watched all 5 seasons of MV a few months ago. Seasons 1 & 2 are still my favorites I think, but season 3 is great and season 5 I came away from thinking it might very well have been the best season of them all. Season 4 is really weird, but still worth a watch.
After.Life- Liam Neilson, Justin Long and Christina Ricci. Don't watch it.
Total Recall. It has been years since I last watched it and it was great. "Scrreeeeeeeeeewwwww you!"
Kick Ass.
It lives up to the hype.
Been watchin' Nip/Tuck and Dexter. Good shows, both! I am not sure which I like better.
Broken Embraces: Here's a pretty good movie about movies. The Dinner Table Catharsis was a little hammy, and I can't be the only one who emotionally checked out after Penelope Cruz dies, but the movie is so beautifully shot that you could watch it frame by frame through a View Master and still enjoy it.
4/5
I enjoyed it for the Ricci tits.Quote:

eh, corpse tits weren't enough to save that movie.
I think Dexter is pulling ahead. Nip/Tuck is basically the same thing every episode, right? Not to say that one episode isn't really good, but come on...Quote:

Step three: oh yeah matt's in this show [optional]
Step four: sean feels bad about something or possibly too good omg this could take down the whole practice
Step five: a nice remix during the cutting scenes (so I can look at something else for two minutes because /squeamish)
Step six: meaningful reveal montage!
Step seven: credits!
Yeah. Each season has a new central problem for the boys to deal with. The surgeries are all based on real life occurrences and sometimes that persons emotional problem mimics what's going on with Christian/Sean. The kids get up to no good (and are forgotten about when it's through), the love triangle between Christian, Sean and Julia is central for awhile. It's a show about the dysfunctional family, it kinda follows them down a really deep rabbit hole. It gets very soap opera-y with the events.
Con air, man I forgot how amazingly dumb this movie is especially the end. Me and a friend just started losing our shit when Cage and Cusak hop on the motorcycles to chase down the virus.

heavy metal 2(000) is the one that sucks
Heavy Metal for two reasons: the Soundtrack, and being 13 the first time I saw it.
Heavy metal is easily the most nerdy movie I've ever seen, seriously you could never remove this movies neck beard.
you are too old, the movie isn't meant for you.
I don't think it's meant for anyone, it feels like a kids movie but the vast amount of cartoon boobs sorta negates that.
it's made for the fans of heavy metal magazine and generally people that like 1980s hard rock (hence the soundtrack and the stories about wizards and unicorns and shit in it)
also it has this song which is an automatic +10 cool points
Yeah like I said, it's a super nerdy movie.
What's the saying about heavy metal stones and doctor who houses?
Just got done watching Diary of the Dead. The more Romero movies I see, the lower my opinion of the guy goes. Movie wasn't nearly as god-awful as Land was, but it's pretty shameful how bad it is compared to [REC]/Quarantine. Also, I can't remember the last time I disliked a main character as much as I did here: the ample amount of examples where people were getting attacked right in front of Jason and he refuses to do anything but film them made me want to strangle him.
Romero is a case of "a dude who believed his fans too much and kept making movies when maybe he should not have."
The Tom Savini remake of Night of the Living Dead is a better watch than his original, IMO.
I read an interview of his recently and he said something along the lines of "if you don't like my recent movies, you just don't get them. I make them for me."
I didn't despise the last one made with the hand cam as much as most others and have yet to see Diary, but I'll be going into it with even lower expectations.
I do not think he would be making zombie movies if he was making them for himself. $$$
The one made with the hand-cams is Diary.Quote:

I'm in a town with a dollar theater for a while, so it was a good time catch up on stinkers that may have some promise.
Prince of Persia:
Almost a decent movie. Many of plot decisions I may have made similarly if tasked with this adaptation, so I wouldn't fault those so much. The casting ultimately worked pretty well too, except for that lead Jake as the Prince. He had the physicality for the role, but his puppy-dog eyes and dopey expressions betrayed the character scene after scene, and called into question the legitimacy of other decent characters, like the thanklessly relegated Princess. I think if they found someone else and gave the Prince a roguish, somewhat veiled personality, the movie would have been much better.
Iron Man 2:
RDJ as Iron Man is pretty entertaining, but the movie was otherwise a turd. Plot really suffered from a lack of conflict and legitimate threat to hero. CG robot man fights were pretty embarassing, as were performances by Jackson and Johansson (whose proving to be a horrible and useless actress). Rourke was pretty good but his character had no teeth. Maybe a good flick for kids.
In Hell (Ringo Lam)
This was actually pretty good. I liked the premise of Van Damme being in prison and forced into "organized" fights to survive. I wish there were more fights, but the ones the movie did have were very well done. These weren't pretty, choreographed fights, but rather brutal street fights. Considering that the movie's tagline is "rage unleashed" it's a little ironic that the overall theme is about inner peace.
EH. I think the original NOTLD is a pretty smart, low key horror movie with some neat things to say about race relations. The remake is sort of empty and garish, and the way they took the blonde chick from the original and made her into rambo in the remake is completely hilarious. It's like they saw the original and were like "Let's feminist the fuck out of her"Quote:

I also watched American Pop, another low budget R-rated cartoon from the same time. It held up well, though the ending is really cheesy (but again kinda great).
I wish I saw Heavy Metal for the first time as a kid instead of in my thirties.
I finished watching season 3 of Breaking Bad. It's going to feel like a long wait for next season.
See, I prefer the empty garish more fun version to HOLY SHIT IT'S LIKE A HORROR MOVIE BUT IT REALLY MEAAAANS SOMETHINGQuote:

Bronson.
The movie had an artsy-fartsy feel to it but I really did enjoy the ride. Seeing the director portray the man as a lunatic who just likes violence doesn't lead you to feel pity for the guy but you do feel like he's on the right track for his desired lifestyle.
You can still enjoy the originals on that level too if you wish though, the depth just adds an extra demension to them.Quote:

The Road aka Bleakness: A Study
I wasn't sure if this was 3 or 4-star material as I watched. The father and son make some really boneheaded decisions that will make you want to shake them. I ended up granting a begrudging 4, but now that I've had a few days to sit on it, I'm more at ease. There are several powerful scenes I just can't shake. Keep thinking about them, mentally putting myself in the same situation, etc. Not too many films have that effect on me.
They shot the scenes at the beach locally (Presque Isle State Park) where I live so that was kind of interesting to me. There was also a scene at Conneaut Lake Park. Since I've seen the movie I read up that most of the shooting done on the highway scenes was done on an abandoned portion of interstate relatively close by and have been thinking of taking a road trip to see.
MacGruber.
Surprisingly awesome.
The Stabiliser - Indonesian action flick that is a perfect example of "so bad its good".

The Cove on instant watch.
Pretty brutal. You should watch it.
I just watched the entire first season of Community. Its almost on the level of Arrested Development imo. It's great to see Chevy Chase in a genuinely funny role again.
The chicken fingers episode and the paintball episode solidified it's spot as the best comedy on TV right now.
The Paintball episode was outright amazing.
QFT - Its the only ep of this I ever seen, but it was fucking awesomeQuote:

Unthinkable. For a movie that's about an interrogation it's very good.
Until Death (Simon Fellows)
This movie should have been called "Van Damme Caps Fools." A really pleasant surprise --- compelling performance by Van Damme, nice revenge/redemption story, and some pretty good action. It isn't vintage Van Damme, but it's definitely one of his best overall movies. I really liked it.
I just watched it because of you, and it is funny. I can't believe I actually liked it.Quote:

Two movies today! GI Joe, and Event Horizon.
Best part of GI Joe was the decals on the end credit CGI logo thingy, the only part of the whole thing that felt like "ah, GI Joe! Right!"; Event Horizon was terrific right up to the third act where it pulled a Sunshine. Good movie, very nearly great!
edit: It's not even Sam Neil being possessed and evil that was a problem, it was coming back from the dead as Pinhead and getting in a fist fight after being shot out the window was a step too far. Maybe I'll watch it again in a month and reevaluate?
The double fakeout at the end was some wishy-washy bullshit.
I watched Blade Runner (the final cut, I think) last year in the "i've seen it before and know what happens but probably was too young to really appreciate it" mindset, and was still completely enthralled.
King of Fighters - OMG, horrible, but with the bits of laughable insanity.
Harry Potter 5
These movies take gayness too far. It's like they've got Guiness on their minds or something. It's all quite unacceptable.
As I mentioned in the-place-which-must-not-be-named, I only put up with it for Granger. Hell, though, she's barely in them to justify the time commitment. Also, she's chopped her hair off in realsies. That leaves a bad taste. Newcomer Luna Lovegood however...

FACT: those radish earrings you can see in the pic above? She made 'em herself! Now tell me that isn't just the cutest goddamn thing.
You are such a fucking pedo.
They just put up the movie adaptation of Stephen King's short story Sometimes They Come Back from 1991 on Netflix. I didn't even know it existed, wasn't bad.
Now that Babylon 5 is up I get to watch every single episode omg
Do you even know what that word means? I definitely find teenage girls attractive. Who the hell doesn't? What's that got to do with pedophilia?Quote:

She was 15 when she made that movie. Yeah, that's pedophilia.Quote:

I didn't like Blade Runner the first time I saw it, but I think it was because I was expecting a COMPLETELY different movie (and I was like 15). I liked it more every time I watched it and now I am in the same boat as you.Quote:

We all know which side the law is on. So how about a show of hands TNL, being attracted to a 15 year old. Pedophilia or not?

I teach 15 year olds, some of them may be more physically mature, but they still aren't attractive, they're still just kids.
PS - We're all well familiar with your take on this subject you pedo you. :p
bbobb, honestly, if you want to start a poll to find out how many people are as dumb as you, do it in FC. (Unless you're scared.) Stop fouling up this thread.
I'm actually waiting for someone else to make the thread, as I'm far too lazy to do it myself.
In Bruges - Awesome, even with the slightly unsatisfying ending. Ralph Fiennes is a great actor; his character was such an ass, I wanted to punch him right in the face even with what happens to him at the end. Brendan Gleeson is great as always, and hey, I like Colin Farrell...who plays an Irish gangster here, just like in real life! Anyways, this was a very well-done, enjoyable black comedy hitman caper.
500 Days of Summer - What passes for "romantic comedy" these days is usually a sequence of co-dependent hand-wringing cynical types whining about how unfair life is. Not exactly romantic nor comedic. Even Zooey D managed to come off as....annoying. Good acting, I guess, but what a downer of a story. Bleah. You want an honest modern rom-com that does cool things with time, go watch Cashback.
Art of the Devil III - Well there's 28 minutes of my life I'll never get back (watched the first 22 minutes, ffwd through the rest). Really really bad low-budget horror....low-budget Thai horror. I like bad horror as much as anyone, but this was just....not watchable.
Whoa, i am totally respectfully disagreeing with you completely. Cashback was so much whinier than 500 Days. 500 Days was a guy breaking down and getting over it, Cashback was a guy crying about his shit job interspersed with his "Women are beatiful" which was really just "I like tits and ass."Quote:

I don't know if it's really fair to call 500 Days of Summer a romantic comedy.
It's a movie about a bad relationship.
It's awesome. That's all it should be categorized as.
Good movies: A-Team, Date Night.
Don't bother: Whip It, The Bounty Hunter.
Also, Community was the legit comedy of last season. I hope it comes back just as strong.
Yeah, Whip It was formulaic ass. Was not shocked in the slightest when I saw "Directed by Drew Barrywhore" at the end.
Genesis was a pretty cool and really short horror type film? I guess it was horror. I liked it.
I watched Being There with Peter Sellers not knowing what to expect, and it was pretty interesting if a bit boring. Loved the end, wish more of the movie had that surreal flare to it.
laziness never stopped you from posting stupid shit.Quote:
