neverending story - B. i love this movie. that wolf always scared the crap out of me.
"they look like good, strong hands...don't they?" :(

ugh, now that cloverfield was released on dvd, i am expecting a wave of opinions on it that are by and large going to be wrong.

i may suck at watching movies, but cloverfield was an A and it's too bad people are going to be really lame and have bad opinions about it.

i dunno if i'll even see it. i would have in theatres. but on the small screen? can't be that effective.

cloverfield, there will be blood, and juno are all on their way via netflix. strap yourselves in netphoria. it's all unfiltered truth with me.

i dunno if i'll even see it. i would have in theatres. but on the small screen? can't be that effective.
i know, right?

in the theater was awesome. i liked it enough, though, to be just fine with the small screen.

the 400 blows - a-

i liked it

the first half of Cloverfield is an A possibly at a stretch. The second hlaf of the film lapsed into stupid predictability and in the end I couldn't care less about the characters.

Also Downfall is amazing, but I would say that.

the 400 blows - a-

i liked it

ive seen that. i liked it, too.

Charlie Wilson's War - A-
I admit that I had low expectations, but this was really funny.

No country for old men is a B- and very overrated

There will be blood - A+, I loved everything about it.

I am legend - B- now that I think about it...Omega Man was better.

and City of God is still the best movie in a very long time

Michael Clayton - C, incredibly overrated, pretend "twists and turns" but no actual ones, and a predictable ending
Juno - C-, incredibly overrated, unrealistic attempt for every character to be "hip" as if screenwriter watched Napoleon Dynamite 50 times and decided how characters talk is more important than plot of what they have to say

Notes on a scandal

Pretty good. That old chick is creepy as fuck. You end up feeling pretty sad for Cate Blanchett at the end. For whatever reason, she couldn't end the affair, and got royally screwed by that old hag.

good movie and great writing. nobody does emotional cruelty like patrick "closer" marber.

"Her fetish for the boy was simply her snobbery manifested. He’s working class and he likes art, as if he were a monkey who strolled in from the forest and asked for a gin and tonic."

Creepshow 3 - D-

saved from an F only because of the last of the five tales.

Juno - C-, incredibly overrated, unrealistic attempt for every character to be "hip" as if screenwriter watched Napoleon Dynamite 50 times and decided how characters talk is more important than plot of what they have to say


I liked Juno overall. The character twist was touching. but the constant "hip" slang was irritating. I don't recall any hipster crap in Napoleon Dynamite, in fact the only similarity I saw is that they're both put out by Fox Searchlight and Juno stole ND's "liger" font for its opening credits.

"Honest to blog?" --:rolleyes:

Michael Clayton - C-, overrated garbage
I Am Legend - C, awful effects on the zombies, didn't do anything 28 days/weeks didn't do, and yes i know it's from older source material.
Glengarry Glen Ross - B+, pretty awesome even though i was falling asleep. incredible performances.
Conspiracy - C, pretty standard stuff with a few chilling moments
Downfall - A-, ridiculously good but a tad too long, also Hitler's suicide should have been on camera even though no one knows how it went down, just make something up, i want to see that shit.
2001 - I made a thread about this and don't feel qualified to grade it. I was with it until the last half hour and it went to shit.
Sweeney Todd - B, not as good as I would have though but pretty cool. Helena Bonham Carter is so hot.
Assassination of Jesse James - B-, i was having trouble following the plot. slow as fuck but interesting, zooey deschanel's part was too small.
City of God - A, incredible
No Country for Old Men - D+, awful overrated garbage

this made my brain hurt

yeah i'm not really film school material, sorry shithead.

it's too bad no country for old men was backslashed just for getting a good reception, and an oscar.

I don't know if the "hype" affected your perception of the film neopryn, it might not.

Be Kind Rewind - A-
I just came back from a premiere I won tickets to, and it was so much better than I expected. Very funny, too.

WHAT!?! IT IS AWFUL

then again you have fonejacker as your avatar...

oh man, Notes on a Scandal was fucking superb.

seriously. anyone who hasn't seen it, go watch it. now.

WHAT!?! IT IS AWFUL

then again you have fonejacker as your avatar...

Please elaborate why you think it's awful.

then again you have fonejacker as your avatar...

die in a fire plz

fuck I forgot about Downfall. I need to add that to my queueueue.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - C+

Vantage Point - C+

Cloverfield - A, if you didn't like this, you're fucking gay. and i saw it on a 27" piece of shit TV.

Cloverfield - A, if you didn't like this, you're fucking gay. and i saw it on a 27" piece of shit TV.

Also, the girl that exploded looked exactly like Zooey Deschanel, and that's very good.

she's gorgeous, can't act but she's gorgeous. I had a celebrity crush with her since I saw her in a shitty tv show called "The Class"

right on!

isn't it worthless outside of the cinema? shouldn't you be berating him right now?

isn't it worthless outside of the cinema? shouldn't you be berating him right now?

maybe you just didn't like it because you're "fucking gay" like neopryn said

Walk Hard. Solid B-. Obvious dumb humor most of the way, but likable. Hilarious, genius humor in other parts, mostly in scenes involving Tim Meadows. Pam from the Office gets a little sassy in this, which is nice.

I saw the first Rocky the other day. That movie is amazing.

the diving bell and the butterfly - A

incredible. heartbreaking too. not to mention nearly every woman in it is beautiful

I saw the first Rocky the other day. That movie is amazing.

it's great - the movie is much much grittier and far less focused on boxing than you remember.

she's gorgeous, can't act but she's gorgeous. I had a celebrity crush with her since I saw her in a shitty tv show called "The Class"

yeah when i first saw her in cloverfield i was like :O

insanely pretty

i reeeeeally wanna see In Bruges

The Bank Job - C+

Pretty much what you'd expect from a Jason Statham bank robbing action flick.

oh man, Notes on a Scandal was fucking superb.

seriously. anyone who hasn't seen it, go watch it. now.

This one has been one of my favorites since seeing it. One of Judi Dench's best performances.

Ils (Them) (2006) - D+

Also pretty mediocre, also a true story (like Bank Job)...loses points for being 73 minutes long and still feeling like 2 hours.

the bank job: B-
clerks: A

isle i posted a mediocre link for in bruges for you a while ago, its not so much something to watch but maybe a teaser just to watch the first few mins. its the best movie of the year.

and if you want a gritty boxing movie watch raging bull. makes you feel like you're actually watching a boxing match as opposed to watching a super hero overcome the odds. they're both awesome for different reasons.

ha that was kind of funny

million dollar baby - a very well made film about many dumb things

finally saw 28 days later, i'll give it a B+. i enjoyed it but i couldn't help but pick at everything for consistency and that took away a bit

forgetting sarah marshal - A: amazing film. go see it immediately.

Boarding from the drive in. We were going to go to the royals game but we didn't feel like spending $18 each, so we hopped over here and spent $7 for a double feature:

Harold and Kumar Go to Guantanamo Bay - B+

Not as funny as the first one, but damned close. Kinda lame, though, that they were only in GB for like 10 mins of the movie.

ugh, second feature was Superhero Movie - N/A

found it funny because we were high but left less than half way through.

Harold and Kumar Escape - B -

fun film (better than the first)

Boarding from the drive in.

aw man I miss going to the drive in

Not as funny as the first one, but damned close. Kinda lame, though, that they were only in GB for like 10 mins of the movie.

yeah, they weren't there long enough!

aw man I miss going to the drive in
Did you ever go to the I-70 when u were here?

And yeah, they weren't in very long, but I guess it's OK because it allowed them to get into their "hijinks"

Did you ever go to the I-70 when u were here?

And yeah, they weren't in very long, but I guess it's OK because it allowed them to get into their "hijinks"

used to go to that one and the twin

btw, it's so weird going to the show up here. no security or cops around ever. I saw some kid get the shit beat out of him after movie was over. they just started fighting in the aisle. no one came in and stopped it.

used to go to that one and the twin
:love:

The Invasion (2007) - B+

The Savages - A+

What a perfect little film. Touches all the right places.

is downfall Der Untergang?

It is.

Knocked Up - B+

Second time for this. It's funny, there's plenty I hate about it and wish they had done differently but there's a handful of scenes that really kill me. Paul Rudd steals this movie for me.

Speaking of Paul Rudd,

The Great Gatsby (2000) - A

Completely faithful to the book. Only prob I had was that Mira Sorvino isn't really a very good actress.

Dan and I just finished A Good Year - I didn't expect a great movie, jsut some cute love story - but when the final credits started we both sat back and said "that was a good movie" (litterally, it was a jynx situation)
and it was. gave it 5 stars on netflix.

The Savages - A+

What a perfect little film. Touches all the right places.

saw this, would also give it an A. awesome acting all-around, just really sweet. definitely one of the better films of last year, the actress shouldve won the best actress oscar.

as for another move you saw, sarah marshall, id give it a B, but also an overrated clap clap clapclapclap.

also rosemary's baby - A. mia farrow was ridiculously adorable throughout.

Revenge of the Nerds - B+

Awesome. Hilarious. Horribly dated but I'm sure that's part of the appeal.

Grave Decisions [Wer früher stirbt, ist länger tot] - C+
Nothing special, despite the raving reviews.

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three - A-
Really good. Pretty straight forward but by no means a dumb action movie. Walter Mathau and Robert Shaw were great, though a couple of the sort of stereotypical loud, angry, cursing New Yorkers bugged the hell out of me so needless to say I was happy when one of did not make ant appearances past the first half of the movie. I loved how it ended. Not just how but when it ended, they did not drag it out too long and it seemed like it ended right when it should have.

Penelope - B
I'm not sure what movie I thought this was when I downloaded it, but this was not the one I had in mind. I watched it anyway because it has Catherine O'Hara in it and it wasn't that bad. Some parts are a bit over the top but they are few and far between considering how cheesy it could have been. Not the kind of movie I usually watch but I still liked it anyway.

Knocked Up - B+

Second time for this. It's funny, there's plenty I hate about it and wish they had done differently but there's a handful of scenes that really kill me. Paul Rudd steals this movie for me.

C-

Jesus Camp - C (helped that I was stoned)
Casino Royale - B+

Baby Mama - C
I love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler but the plot was sort of weak. Not even close to how good a movie with those two in it could be. There were some very funny parts but they were just few and far between and most of that wasn't really the writing, just the two of them playing off of each other. By the end the romantic subplot and the lack of any sort of depth in any character just made me wish it would end sooner.

28 weeks later - B-

not as good as 28 days. also had a lame ending, but who cares

yeah days >>> weeks. the ending of 28 days seemed so hopeful...

I thought 28 weeks was better, because the whole house ending of days didn't do anything for me.

and it's always nice to see a successfully-executed helicopter mass-decapitation

C-

also i want to be the bottom of a 3 jew vs. 1 white boy pile on with harold ramis, seth rogan, and jonah hill

I thought 28 weeks was better, because the whole house ending of days didn't do anything for me.

^

Yeah. I caught part of 28 Weeks Later on TV last night for the first time since I saw it in the theater, and it reminded me about how much I preferred it to 28 Days Later.

I think 28 Days was great for the first 2/3, but the last act just really brought the whole thing down for me. I don't think 28 Weeks ever quite got as good as the the first 2/3 of 28 Days, but it never got as bad as the last 1/3 either. And personally, I always prefer a movie that's consistently good throughout over one that has really awesome parts mixed in with really mediocre parts.

the assassination of richard nixon - A

good, fucked up

^

this is the second time you've said this in this thread

actually just saw full metal jacket for the first time, on blu-ray. it was awesome, i give it an A

People already use blu-rays? Whoa.

my friend thinks dvd is some kind of backward type of media nowadays, since he's had his PS3 he wants to see everything fullHD.

haven't they been our for like, months and months now

They have, of course. I've just never seen anyone buy or even use them.

Walk Hard - C+, better than I was expecting. some genuine laugh-out-loud moments, like when he's having sex with some random girl and says "goddamn, this is a dark fucking period!" and also how he looks exactly the same from ages 14 through 80. Jenna Fischer says she wants a penis in her vagina.
Juno - B+, I dunno, I was expecting all the hype to be for nothing, but aside from some ridiculous try-too-hard dialogue, I couldn't find much wrong with it. Bateman and Garner were really awesome. I thought it was great how when you first meet them Bateman seems like the cool half of the couple and she seems a little uptight, and then little by little you begin to see he's a creep. solid movie.

Old School - C+
I remember this as being really funny, but I was 14 or 15 when I saw it. Last night at work it did absolutely nothing for me.

another double feature at the drive-in. we watched:

The Ruins - C+

Street Kings - N/A
too ADD to watch it and left to go to the gay bar with some friends

Gone Baby Gone - A-/B+

really pretty good, can't decide. Between this and Jesse James, Casey Affleck is a fantastic actor

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - B-

ughh, great buildup with a bad ending

Paul Rudd steals this movie for me.

the more movies i see by those guys the more i think paul rudd is the best of the bunch

Ghosts Of The Civil Dead (again) - A


phenomenal film

haha, nice avatar

People already use blu-rays? Whoa.yeah, ever since my friend got a ps3 he's been buying them

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - B-

ughh, great buildup with a bad ending

Forgot I'd seen this. Awful film. Really pointless use of multiple viewpoints on a single event and time shifts. All I really enjoyed was how things spiralled out of control so drastically.

punch-drunk love - B, maybe A

this film isn't funny, it's sick. completely bonkers. i like it.

yeah, ever since my friend got a ps3 he's been buying them

How much are they over there?

oh i also watched

rashomon - what's not to like

A

does anybody know if i should watch all major kurosawa films

i've seen rashomon, seven samurai and ran and think they're all really different and really awesome

i just realised i've seen kagemusha too. it was a few years ago and i thought it was breathtakingly beautiful

How much are they over there?looks like about $15-$20 for a new feature film. about the same as DVDs

looks like about $15-$20 for a new feature film. about the same as DVDs

Wow, I'm clearly not up-to-date.

Police Academy -C
Even though it's a lot better in English, it still kinda sucked. I laughed out loud a few times but got bored quickly.

so that's what i get for actually starting a discussion about films for once

video conclusively proving moon landings were hoaxed - A

you're becoming a parody of yourself

THE SHADOWS!!!

THE FLAG WAS BLOWING IN THE WIND

There are videos on YouTube explaining this. Maybe you should watch them as well.

Anyway, this is neatly done:

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay - B- : Not nearly as funny as the original, and typically sought to 'repeat' jokes from the predecessor. The fact that it picks up minutes after the first ended was nice, but truly a rental and not worth the theatre price.

^haha

that said though, the dark knight looks amazing

ed: @ antipop

There are videos on YouTube explaining this. Maybe you should watch them as well.
hell, one doesn't even need to watch a youtube video for at least one explanation. i found this in 0.2 seconds on google:

Not every waving flag needs a breeze -- at least not in space. When astronauts were planting the flagpole they rotated it back and forth to better penetrate the lunar soil (anyone who's set a blunt tent-post will know how this works). So of course the flag waved! Unfurling a piece of rolled-up cloth with stored angular momentum will naturally result in waves and ripples -- no breeze required!

that said, i like reading about conspiracies, even if they are wacky.

I watched Wayne's World on TV yesterday and it was absolutely awesome (A+). I forgot how funny that movie is... not dated at all.

wouuld be watching 13 Tzameti right now, but the sound on my dvd player has gone out for no reason. fuck.

The New World - B

My Boy Jack (bbc) - B

Speaking of Paul Rudd,

The Great Gatsby (2000) - A

Completely faithful to the book. Only prob I had was that Mira Sorvino isn't really a very good actress.

I like the 1974 version because coppola did the screenwriting, and robert redford makes a better gatsby.

I like the 1974 version because coppola did the screenwriting, and robert redford makes a better gatsby.

i'm watching the 1974 version this week..i'm a little wary of it being 2.5 hours. i thought the 2000 version was great and it was an hour and 40.

btw, nice name change!

oh, and

The Man - B-

my brother recently moved in and had some bootleg DVDs he bought while in Iraq. i thought it was pretty funny actually for the most part - a little bit of a cheesy ending, but i expected as much

Another of my brother's Iraq bootleg dvds.

Slackers - B+
Completely underrated comedy. Jason Schwartzman really made the movie.
Also has Devon Sawawhatev, Laura Prepon, the drummer dude from Freaks and Geeks, the dude from Pete and Pete, cameo from Cameron Diaz, etc.

Darjeeling Limited - A-

Wow, about 10,000x better than I thought it would be. I just kinda got dragged in by the pace and the visuals, being a tad high probably helped.

video conclusively proving moon landings were hoaxed - A

The problem is I don't even know if you are for real anymore :(

Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle - B+
Wow, that was a lot better than I thought. Nice.

Charlie Wilson's War - A
excellent. absolutely excellent.

Zombie Strippers! - D or something around there

does anybody know if i should watch all major kurosawa films

i've seen rashomon, seven samurai and ran and think they're all really different and really awesome

yojimbo is pretty good too tho imho nothing quite matches seven samurai and ran.

being a tad high probably helped.

definitely

Hot Fuzz - A+
One of my absolute favorites.

is hot fuzz a lot like shaun of the dead

if yes i don't see why you would give it an a+

It's from the same crew [AFAIK], but about twenty times better/funnier.
And you don't have to see how I rate movies anyway.

Once: C-

Cringe inducingly awful at times and ok at others. Hansard didn't do too badly but overall flimsy and patchy.

The Seventh Continent: B

Intensity in ten cities as you would expect from Haneke. Wonderfully controlled and glacial meditation on disintigration. Really depressing how the structured self destruction mirrors the stilted family regime throughout the film.

Lovers, Liars and Lunatics - B-
pretty funny...lame in a few parts, but overall pretty entertaining.

Lolita (1997) - C

My co-worker told me (as he sat in on the last half an hour) that he had never heard of this movie, nor had he heard of any references to it. How does someone my age (in fact, a little older) be completely obvious to the concept of Lolita?

He's a paedo trying too hard to cover his tracks.

Most likely that is the case.

Le Scaphandre Et Le Papillon - B+

My girlfriend took me to see this, and I was pleasantly surprised.

is hot fuzz a lot like shaun of the dead

if yes i don't see why you would give it an a+

BECAUSE HE LIKES IT GIVE IT A REST

Ghost World - C+

you're 16, you're supposed to give it an a+

you're 16, you're supposed to give it an a+

Everyone in the theatre cracked up when they showed college-age Harold. I thought it was hilllarrrious

Wall Street (1987) - D+

Boring, slightly predictable but hilariously dated.

D did you ever catch godfather II

It's from the same crew [AFAIK], but about twenty times better/funnier.


i agree with this post

D did you ever catch godfather II
Not yet. Watching that not this weekend but the next. This weekend I am going to try to use all 16 hours of my work hours to watch...DUN DUN...

Twin Peaks!

EDIT: 5 episodes into Twin Peaks and I was completely nonplussed. Terrific mood-setting and music, but completely not my thing.

meh. I mean I'd fuck the brains out of Thora Birch and all, but it just didn't go anywhere

The Great Gatby (1974) - D
Long-winded, added stuff not in the book, stiff acting...

Not even a C? C'mon D. lol

I seem to be the only one who likes this version.
It just seems so, I dunno, hollywood-y or something...all these dramatic staredowns and awful music.
It also seemed like the actors had never read the book, only glanced at it as they were making the movie. Ew, and Daisy was the worst character.

I will say there was one or two scenes that seemed to really shine but, yeah, overall a D.

you sound like that one 97 film is the origin of the "concept of lolita"

Robin Williams: Live on Broadway - A+
Wow, I don't believe I've ever seen a stand-up program this funny. Simply amazing.

you sound like that one 97 film is the origin of the "concept of lolita"
uh...i think you're alone on this one. i told him that the 1997 version was a remake and that the concept of lolita was so old that that was why i was so surprised he had never heard of it.

nice try, go away now.

Just saw Ironman and Baby Mama

A
B respectively.

Iron Man: A

Pretty much delivers what you expect from the commercials. I'm already anxious for a sequel.

Protip: stay after the credits for a bonus scene.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here laser light show at the planetarium
C-

Atonement: C-, I've watched this in 3 different sessions and still have half an hour to go. insufferable. sweet tracking shot though.

it takes you four sittings to get through it and you give it a C-?

i'm not sure what you're expressing surprise at. i keep falling asleep, it's not much to do with the movie itself.

i dunno. generally a decent movie will keep me awake. i guess a C- movie might not. eh.

Miss Austen Regrets (bbc) - B

Days of Heaven - B

Paper Moon - A

i watched forgetting sarah marshall with ian. it was funny. ^_^

iron man - A
ratatouille - A

Teeth - B-

Ahahahahahahahaaha

i'll bump Atonement up to a C+ after seeing the end

nice try, go away now.
you wouldn't be this hostile if i still posted as rockin cherub

but that might have something to do with nobody taking that guy seriously

Teeth - B-

Ahahahahahahahaaha

still need to see this one
watching Alien for the first time tonight

iron man - B+

robert downey jr was pretty good. also on debaser's advice we stayed through the credits and saw the thing at the end. thanks.

you wouldn't be this hostile if i still posted as rockin cherub

but that might have something to do with nobody taking that guy seriously
you're rockin cherub? when did you turn into a dummy? you were always at least tolerable.

i drink and swear too much

i think i might be turning into that coach mcguirk character

you're a character alright

no i'm not. you know nothing about me. screw this place.

screw you too :mad:

There Will Be Blood: A. awesome. final scene in the bowling alley was one of the best things ever.

Iron Man - A-

this movie rocks

reign over me - A

between this, punch drunk love, and bits of spanglish, im sold that adam sandler is a good actor. the rest of the cast was stellar too, really cool movie.

the fountain

it was very unsettling :(

Transformers - C

I saw it before and it's kind of cool but I find it boring. The reason I watched it again is because the sound on my kick ass surround sound is AMAZING!

move along

I Am Legend. 7/10.

transformers was the worst movie i've ever seen

it's pretty bad. I like the loud noises

baby mama - b-

kinda heh

there will be blood - A
i think i'll read the book it's based on now

Hard Eight (1996)
Paul Thomas Anderson
An interesting start to an amazing career. Low key, low budget, simple, but effective, rounded characters, with a driving force to move the plot forward (in this case the mysterious protagonist). I enjoyed the claustrophobic close ups, Baker Hall's aged eyes staring right into the camera, the subdued score, the pure scumbagedness of Samuel L. Jackson. Gwenyth Paltrow was actually a highlight this time as well, this kind of manic-depressive, self-destructive, cute and innocent chain smoking flirty hooker waitress. Film makes me want a cigarette.

reign over me - A

between this, punch drunk love, and bits of spanglish, im sold that adam sandler is a good actor. the rest of the cast was stellar too, really cool movie.

punch drunk love pissed me off

maybe i should watch it again

The best thing about Punch Drunk Love??

i really liked parts of it. and to be honest i don't remember it all that well except for the fact that the end made no fucking sense and there was absolutely no reason for them to end up together.

ahaha i love that commercial

the phone scene with sandler and hoffman is probably one of my favorite scenes ever. just calm down shut the fuck up

give it another shot eulogy. speaking of PTA, ill be getting to hard eight by week's end.

i watched the american version of the eye at the dollar movie with my pal melissa.

it was dumb. everything is dumb. i laughed a lot and jessica alba is hot.

Creepshow 3 - D+

Slightly less entertaining than #2.

Soldiers In the Army of God - B+

:erm: . most awkward part was the rednecks from Kansas City who got together on Memorial Day to hang out...and they re-enacted Jerry Springer scenes. They didn't have to dress up or anything, they already fit the part!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - B+

I really liked it. Funny, but not funny in the way I thought it would be. I guess I thought it would be more sort of dumb humor when it really wasn't. Billy Baldwin channeling David Caruso was pretty hilarious. I think people will love Jason Segal after seeing this movie, if they don't already. A good date movie. :)

Lake of Fire - B+

informative and showed both sides of the issue. a little long, but hey.

honey i shrunk the kids - B
can't go wrong with rick moranis and lazers. looked very dated, but still a fantastic movie.

:love:

one of the movies i grew up on as a kid. still love it today.

Small Town Gay Bar - A
very well put together.

sexy beast - A

where the hell is the plus on this keyboard damn niggar

The Invisible - F

I don't know why I watched this

My Beautiful Laundrette - B -

The Ballad of Jack and Rose - B

(goes along slowly, but I give it a B for DDL's acting and Paul Dano. Scripting, meh)

<3 yeah. The great outdoors was on today and I wanted to stay home and watch it too.

lol I happen to be dvring it right now.

Funny Games (1998) - one point lower than whatever I graded the remake

I liked it OK, but I thought Michael Pitt did a far better job of being psychotic than this guy did. Maybe that's just because I am more familiar with MP than this dude.
This version was more twisted, but I would give it a slightly less favorable grade than I did the remake. I don't remember what grade I gave it, though.

might as well throw in an annoying marquee tag while you're at it

isn't that more your style? or whatcolor's?

The Devil's Playground - B+
yet another documentary in my trifecta today. it was very interesting; i had no idea about this "rumspringa" that Amish teens go through so it was definitely eye-opening.

i like how fattening ass is trying to show how unnecessarily pretentious and narcissistic this thread is by being pretentious and narcissistic

Angel-A - B+

Rewatched some movies recently:

V for Vendetta - B+
Metropolis - A
Batman Returns - B

carlito's way. except for the awesomeness of brutal murders and shitty editing, yawn.

the pallbearer was on tv and i watched it. the first time i saw it years ago i hated it but watched the whole thing then too. i dont know whether i hate or love this movie

Angel-A - B+

Wow, I didn't realize that's a Luc Besson movie. Neat.

The Orphanage - C+

the first 3/4 were suspenseful and scary but the ending blew and totally ruined it for me

remember the part where the chick almost drowns in honey I shrunk the kids and you can totally see her pretty small boobs??

i don't remember exactly. there's mud involved or she has to have mouth to mouth and chokes up some gross looking water.

am i remembering this correctly at all

yea thats pretty accurate. :blush:

Lars and the Real Girl - B+

London - A-
I loved it. Absolutely loved it. Some of the dialogue between London and Syd were identical to the ones I've had in past relationships; it was eerie. There was even a scene that played out exactly what I have experienced.

Wristcutters: A Love Story - C-
started out awesome, but lost steam just after an hour into it, but having Tom Waits in it was pretty funny.

shannyn sossamon makes me feel funny tingles everywhere

Soldiers In the Army of God - B+

I'm giving it a B as well. It was intense in a few parts. But yeah, what was up with the Jerry Springer reinactment? lol

I was laughing about how Lokey was so badass about "squeezing the trigger for God", yet when the secret service agents showed up, it changed a little. Some of that footage with the bombs exploding was crazy.

Some of that footage with the bombs exploding was crazy.

yeah that was pretty intense.

shannyn sossamon makes me feel funny tingles everywhere

yeah, she's really cool.

Young at Heart - B+

<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362538/">Noise</a> - D
just kinda meh.

Fracture - B+

Michael Clayton - B

Run Fatboy Run - pretty average comedy, kind of forgettable but still funny. C+

rocketman - i love this movie. harlan williams is awesome, A

Oh I forgot, last night I watched Animal Farm (1999)

D for not in<ph>cluding some parts, adding things not in the book, and tacking on a weak-ass ending.

you just laid a smackdown on Animal Farm (1999)

The whole first season of Californication - A.
I discovered this show today and loved it. Brilliant, though the 12th and last episode kind of sucked.

you just laid a smackdown on Animal Farm (1999)
lol

i went to iron man. i fell asleep.

My Little Eye - C+

For a low-budget, cheesy flick, it had more decent parts than not.

rocketman - i love this movie. harlan williams is awesome, A

"astronaut...fred randall"
"AHHHHH AHHHH AHHHHH!!!"

:love:

i went to iron man. i fell asleep.

yeah pretty lame

Octane (Pulse) - C-

Started out really awesome and creepy; it was excellent mood-setting, really eerie and creepy. It reminded me of the feeling I got watching An American Haunting, not that the movies are in any way identical - I just mean in the way it was able to be "chilling" without trying to hard.
Well, this lasted about an hour, then it turned into an absurd david lynch-aping mess. I really wish it would have been good the whole way through. :(

hard eight - B

lots of solid performances but i could tell this was PTA's first movie. felt it was lacking just a bit, he's really refined his directing from then to now. reilly and paltrow were good together, paltrow is ridiculously adorable. doesnt come close to punch drunk love and there will be blood, but solid nonetheless.

"astronaut...fred randall"
"AHHHHH AHHHH AHHHHH!!!"

:love:it nearly brought me to tears. the guy's a genius

perfume - C-

Sunshine - B-
Visually, it is pretty nice to look at but it probably went down an entire letter grade towards the final part when it sort of descended into what seems like another kind of movie all together. I do not want to ruin the movie for those who have not seen it but once the "unknown" member of the crew gets on, it seemed to just ruin whatever the movie had going for it. Still probably worth a rental for the visuals but it was really annoying how it ended, at least for me.

Gangs of New York- C
Daniel Day Lewis is good at being really, really creepy while sporting some heinous and ridiculous facial hair but his performance wasn't enough to make this movie for me. It seemed overly long and after the two hour mark I wasn't all that interested in it anymore. Maybe I will give it another chance when it's not two in the morning but I don't think I am going to like it much more than I did.

yeah pretty lame

what? dude you need to connect with your inner geek, iron man was awesome

D., how do you give Fracture a B+ and Michael Clayton a B??? Fracture was a giant disappointment.

Iron Man - B-? i just can never really get into superhero movies. but the dark knight trailer got me pretty excited, i have to say.

D., how do you give Fracture a B+ and Michael Clayton a B??? Fracture was a giant disappointment.
I dunno, I guess I just found Michael Clayton to be kind of a jumbled mess in some parts, but Fracture was pretty awesome - why the dissapointment?

yeah i preferred fracture too

Trade - B
it was alright, I guess. mostly it was cool.

Made of Honor - D
meh. first showing at the drive-in; totally predictable romantic comedy

Forgetting Sarah Marshall - C-/D+
what the hell? didn't everyone say this was as good as superbad and knocked up, etc? this movie was really, really bad. really funny some times but overall so unfunny and dramatic.

Clay Pigeons - D+
the very definition of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh

Street Kings - C+
Why is Reeves always playing the same dull character? Boring.

Fracture was so lame and anticlimactic. I thought Anthony Hopkins was going to psychologically destroy Gosling based on the trailers. and i dunno. it's didn't happen. and the entire second half was just lame.

Michael Clayton on the other hand, was awesome.

Juno: B

speed racer: B-/C+

Forgetting Sarah Marshall- B

Decent movie. Not as funny as I'd hoped it would be, but had its share of LOLOL moments.





Mila Kunis in Forgetting Sarah Marshall- UNF+

Kristin Bell who?

were those her real tits in the film? did some one already ask this?

I still can't believe people were saying Sarah Marshall was funnier than the other Apatow movies.

Even not compared to the other ones, it was unmemorable.

A Nightmare On Elm Street- A

probably my favorite movie of all time, great atmosphere

Cool World- C+, mainly because it has one of the hottest animated chicks ever. But yeah the plot was really sketchy and bizarrely incomplete. And 2D animation with 3D actors is so retro and ridiculous, I found it kind of entertaining.

Goodbye Lenin - A
