The old movie thread: ratings and discussion' or some shiz

The Bridge: 8/10 Documentary of a bunch of suicides of the Golden Gate Bridge..interview/eurologies with family member friends of jumpers, witness. Details the derpession, mental&physical abuse that the jumpers were going through before they commited suicide....good stuff...

 

Then why are you watching it? opcorn:

 

Like i and i mom i'm always hoping that the next one will be different...

 

Well, yesterday i walked into the theater and watched Linday Lohan's I Know Who Killed Me, seriously, one of my many bad choices this year, this is no question the lead candidate of Worst Movie of 2007 Award.

 

I'm gonna walk in the theater and watch Rescue Dawn....then The Simpson....:bears:

 

The Zodiac- very good.

 

Gatti, you think that dude who worked at the hardware store is the Zodiac killer?

 

Knocked Up - Made by the same guys who did 40 Year Old Virgin so same type of humor, but a bit less raunchy. I thought it was hilarious - definitely one of the better movies I have seen lately.

Slither - I expected a cheezy horror flick (which it was) but it was also pretty damn funny. It's a horror comedy in the style of Shaun of the Dead, but I didn't realize it until I popped the movie in. It was a plesant suprise and was entertaining.

Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix - This is the first Harry Potter movie that I have seen. I was pretty much forced to watch this but I was suprised - I thought it was actually pretty good.

Transformers - it was absolute hollywood summer blockbuster cheese, but I loved it! Incredibly stupid, but also incredibly entertaining in the same way Independence Day was.

 

I liked Knocked up despite every other word being fuck, if you can get past that it's a pretty funny

Transformers was alright I suppose, for a pg 13 movie it was decent, at least they kept Megatron and Starscream, but then again no shockwave, I wouldn't be surprised if a 2nd movie came out as this one left out a lot that could be capitalized on

I saw Green Street Hooligans a while back, that was decent if you can grasp the lingo and the storyline

 

The Perfect Storm: 6.5/10 A boat of fisherman are caught in the perfect storm..




Just Before Dawn: 5/10 Crazy machete swinging wild dude in the forest..what not to like about it...:dunno:

 

SUNSHINE - 7.5/10 - For those that like sci fi. About 50 yrs in the future, the sun is burning out and a team of scientist/astronauts fly out to relight it with a special bomb. Some good acting and dialogue from some pretty good 2nd tier actors w/1st tier talent, like the guy who plays Johnny Storm is a better actor than you would have thought. Problem w/ this movie is it gets a little dumb in the last 30 minutes or so but not enuogh to ruin it IMO. Rewatchability 4/5

HOME OF THE BRAVE - 7/10 - Depressing military movie of 4 soldiers who return from Iraq and the post war syndrome and injury problems they're suffering. Good performances from Sam Jackson, Jessica Biel and Curtis "50 cent" Jackson. The movie wasn't bad, but I really didn't get the point and it didn't seem like a story per say. Rewatchability 2/5

 

It's Arthur Leigh Allen. He's the one that worked at the hardawre store, right?

 

Wilderness: 6.5/10 Teen boy delinquents are sent to a small island so they can learn how to work out their problems, work together, blah, blah the normal bullshit. BUT THEY are not ALONE, well yeah they are not alone some bitches from the female juvy prison are also there...WELL they are ALL FUCKED, they are being hunted by an Special Forces soldier who is gonna making them pay for pushing his son into commiting suicide...good shit.

 

Beerfest: Same guys who did Super Troopers about some brothers who go to Germany to compete in a drinking games tournament. Stupid, but entertaining movie. Pretty funny, but not on the same level as Super Troopers IMO. 7/10

23: Jim Carey, in a suspense/thriller. Can't really tell much about the plot without giving it away. Kinda cheesy. 4/10

Zodiac: Movie about the Zodiac killer. Same director as two of my favorite movies (Fight Club and Seven), but this film failed to really grab my attention. The movie is pretty damn long and anti climactic, but good acting. 6/10

 

Disturbia: 7.5/10 Teenage kid is sentence to 90 days house arrest, mama cancels his Xbox live, itunes accounts and some other shit..and to spend the time he starts spying on his neighbors...but one night he witness what appears to be a murder in his neighbors house...the cat and mouse game begins....good shit..but the actual action of the movie doesn't get start till 30-40 minutes into it...RZA get his brains on his lap *good actor considering*...




Derailed: 6.5/10 Aniston and Owen are having an affair, they go to an hotel room to do the deed, a thief breaks in he gets beaten up..she get raped..Owen later get blackmailed, then he gets blackmailed again for much more money. Owen refuse to pay the thief start fucking with him showing up at his house talking to his wife and kid..etc..etc..good shoot out by the end of the movie...Owen get him back...good twist at the end.....




The Monster Squad 5/10... as a kid i loved this movie..i guess i grew up. :(

 

Sansho the Bailiff

One of the best movies I have ever seen.

 

okay...

 

bought a couple of movies gonna watch them soon . any of them good?

insideman
taking lives
k-pax
3 burials of estrada

 

the best one in that list is The Three Burials ...k-pax..Spacey..and he is always good......Inside Man is aight....

never seen taking lives...:dunno:

 

Taking Lives sucks.

 

it did get two thumbs up

 

Which is probably why I actually went to see it at the theatre..........well that and Angelina Jolie's tits.

Still sucked though.

 

no no no no 4/10 and that's being generous. The movie had a very amateurish feel to it throughout.

 

boogeyman was awful and i had to see it twice! funny story was going out with my gf at the time and we broke up so the next day i went to the movies with this one broad to watch boogeyman...it sucked i hated it..then next day my and my gf we make up and go to movies..guess what she wants to see and guess what i can't say i already seen it with a different broad...didnt think quick enough on my feet so i just said i hear it sucks...she goes no i think it's gonna be good...so w.e we went to see it.. again !

 

When you say they are all fucked? Do you mean all the girls get fucked by the boys or are they fucked because they're being hunted? Just asking because one of those plots is a lot more interesting then the other. ::

 

1/10. this movie was the biggest waste of time i had htis year

 

I thought the bridge sucked. Very good concept but quite boring.

Disturbia was quite a surprise, a little cliche but decent none the less.

 

Taking lives doesn't suck. If you're going to compare it too movies like Seven or Kiss the Girls, yeah, it'll come up short. However taken on it's own it's an underrated thriller and definitely worth watching. Angelena Jolie gives another performance where she's a female badass who can single handidly fuck up a guy. Ethan Hawke gives another dry performance IMO but the euro guy from Unfaithful gives a good account of himself. I'd rate those movies in this order.

Insideman - Mainly for it's star power moreso than the mediocre story.
Taking Lives - Not a bad movie at all
K-Pax - Can't remember if this is really worth watching or not, but I don't remember feeling negatively about it. Just that I didn't want to sit through it again.
3 BoE - Never saw it.

 

I liked "The Bridge". Though is was a little slow at times.

 

Sucked might have been too strong of a word. It was slow. Wouldnt pay to see it at the movies.
