    I agree with you. I couldn't finish watching it. Extremely boring.

    That Jessie James movie is alright. Better than a three out of ten, BUT it is EEEEEASILY the most boring movie I've ever seen. Doesn't neccessarily make it bad, but fucking god damn was it slow.

    I think Capote was the most boring movie I've ever seen.

    Mission to Mars was the worst movie I've ever seen. I walked out. The only movie I've walked out on.

    Worst and boring aren't necessarily the same thing. I liked Capote...just would never watch it again. The same with The Motorcycle Diaries.

    Cabin Boy might've been the worst movie I've seen...or maybe Butterfly Effect.

    I liked "The Butterfly Effect" :lol:


    I found you have to watch it a certain way though. Rent the DVD and watch the Directors Cut first..............................then when they get to the ending, switch over to the released version.

    I did this purely by accident, but it might be well worth your time to check it out again. :lol:

    The only problem with that is afterwards, I promised myself I'd never watch another Ashton Kutcher movie.

    I guess it's not technically "another" movie, but being a different cut is enough.

    Being a student of literature, who spent six months studying In Cold Blood, I absolutely loved that film.

    I liked it, thought it was very well done, appreciated the craft involved and was very glad I watched it...just thought it was very slow.

    I consider the speed/pace of a movie different from the quality of it.

    The Wild Bunch

    6/10

    A pretty decent Western Flick. Great cast of Ernest Borgnine,Warren Oates,William Holden etc.,but movie just lacked the punch to make it a great Western!



    Also I tried watching this
    [​IMG]

    But stopped after realizing it was a terrible "made exclusively for kids" type fantasy movie! Not to mention it had a real annoying groundhog/hobbit/hamster type creature that was more annoying than "Gollum" from LOTR!

    I was so high when I watched Mission to Mars and I still had enough disdain to leave the theater.

    Well the last part of the film was the best when the hollogram of the ancient long dead martian showed the astronauts what happened to the planet Mars and how a few survivors put the seed of life on earth, thus humans are the real martian children. Yeah pretty far fetched, but great science fiction visuals.

    Well it is a nice little film. It didn't aimed at the STAR WARS or STAR TREK crowd, but the 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY crowd with a smaller budget.

    The ape scene in 2001 pissed me off. They need to make a creation movie that shits on evolution.

    I'm actually a pretty big fan of both of those movies and have seen them both several times.

    Righteous Kill was an okay movie. It definitely doesn't live up to the two actors playing in it but it's not terrible either. Took me awhile to warm up to it, because at first I thought it was going to be terrible. The begining felt you were dropped in the middle of the movie.

    The twist totally fooled me, and I guess the way they had me guessing how it was going to end. I really ain't sure, because I remember initially thinking I was going to kill this movie. I think the twist though made it more bearable.

    For real? I thought it was obvious, very poor "twist" imo.

    That movie was so poor that I forgot that I saw it until you guys brought it up. Then I thought, I should go see that movie and then I remembered I did see it. It could be the weed, but I doubt it.

    How the fuck was it obvious? They even put in a special trick so you wouldn't think it wasn't him. I swear for every movie with a twist we always have some genius on here who saw it coming a mile away. Not saying that you didn't.

    I heard he was shocked when Michael Myers was revealed as the killer in the Halloween remake.
