I'm waiting for either Rachel Getting Married to be released in a theater around where I live, or Quantum of Solace to come out, whichever happens first. Until then I've decided I'm too busy with college shit to add to my movie repetoire.

Shaun Of The Dead - A-
Not as great as Hot Fuzz, but still awesome.

Also, what the fuck is up with East German Nazis?!

Probably the same thing that is up with Illinois Nazis. :D

W.

D

Pretty awful in nearly every aspect. Story telling, acting, etc.

Shaun Of The Dead - A-
Not as great as Hot Fuzz, but still awesome.

now an A- is a respectable grade, but i am just curious what you liked more about hot fuzz.

Everything. Setting, dialog, humor, action... I don't know, Hot Fuzz is one of my top 3 comedies, so...

I just watched the second half of
Zodiac - A
Wow, this was really good. I mean, I knew the story beforehand, but still.

Knocked Up - First time watching it and I laughed a lot.

October 23rd - October 26th

Battle In Seattle - B
pretty good; pretty dramatic, too. When Woody Harrelson sees that kid in the crowd and gets all weepy, I was all *sob*

Good Time Max - B-
Less-than-78-minute movie directed by and starring James Franco. He was awesome in it, but the movie overall was just ok.

The Sweetest Thing - B-
After two dramatic movies, I felt I needed a movie a bit on the lighter side. Someone told me this was a "chick flick" but that I'd like it. Pretty lame in concept and all but there were some genuinely hilarious parts. The "glory hole" scene was priceless.

Frailty - B-
Hadn't seen this since it came out in theaters 7 years ago. Still pretty creepy and holds up well.

Tropic Thunder - B-
Pretty funny; Robert Downey, Jr was the funniest in this. I usually don't like him but he was awesome in this.

The Weather Underground - B-
Interesting, I guess.

White Oleander - C+
Decent enough but seemed to drag on a little bit after the middle of the movie.

The Princess Bride - C+
LOL the Wonder Years kid. I guess this was a cute little movie. I have no nostalgia attached to it because I don't remember ever seeing it when I was younger, but it was entertaining in a really innocent humor way.

Adams æbler - B+
Gosh, I love Danish movies.

Eagle Vs Shark. B
funny NZ movie starring one of the fellas from 'flight of the conchords'. lots of hilarious lines, good cast, and just a pinch of drama.

187 B+
one of the few samuel l jackson movies i can stand. interesting to see a guy who wanted nothing but to teach kids get his spirit broken and take matters into his own hands. the ending seemed a bit dramatic for my taste, but im not sure how else it could have ended.

independenc =e day very stoned a++++++++++++++

The King Of Kong- A

A fun movie, really. Who knew nerds could be sleazy douchebags? I'm sure some liberties were taken with Mitchell's character portrayal once it became clear to them that he was a douche but, really, with the characteristics of Wiebe's personality being so likable, it was hard not to see Mitchell as a villain. The old lady that was profiled was awesome. I just read on the wikipedia article that she died in a car accident a couple years back. She was so happy when she got that Qbert machine.

((_)========D ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Amelie- B+

Not into the romancey portion of this movie, but there's a lot of subtlety and weirdness in it, pretty cool.

The King Of Kong- A

so awesome.

some of the movies i've watched over the last couple of weeks...

Jack the ripper (michael caine) - dragged a bit but something kept me watching C+

Indy 4 - this partly gets points for nostalgia, in that it was nice to see indy again, but it wasn't a real indy film, and there were a few things that bugged me about it. B.-

Videodrome - Crazy stuff, I had never seen this before, but I had seen existenz, and there are a few parallels with it. I need to watch this again though. B+

cleaner - Sam L was good but this got pretty predictable as it went on. B- ... almost C+

Pineapple express - felt the same way about this I did about knocked up, a handful of laughs but way over rated. C.

Mutant chronicles... this leaked online a while ago, and I immediately wrote it off as shit. Empire gave it three stars though, and I trust them, so i went ahead and watched it. I mean, i suppose that what they've done is kinda impressive for a reported £1m budget, but this just really grated on me. The 'mutants' were poorly designed, the cgi blood was bad, the plot was non existant, malkovich was in it for all of about 3 minutes and for some reason ron perlman decided to try out an irish accent, and just ended up all over the place. I have to give it points for trying though, and a couple of the set pieces really did work. C-

zack & miri - B

pretty funny, nice to see some old smith cast

Also, what the fuck is up with East German Nazis?!

we are human and we need to be loved

bender's game - probably the best of the feature lengths so far, but the first half was much better than the second half... B

tropic thunder - i was pretty disappointed with this, especially since im a big fan of zoolander. rdjr was good in it and so was tom cruise, but there were barely any laughs. C-

Zoolander was terrible.

tropic thunder - i was pretty disappointed with this, especially since im a big fan of zoolander. rdjr was good in it and so was tom cruise, but there were barely any laughs. C-

yeah it sucked. it had a little potential. i never like jack black though

Futurama: Bender's Game - B+
Best Futurama movie so far.

hey antipop, I've been wondering, does the guy in your avatar have six fingers on the one hand showing?

That's Bill Hicks, and no, he doesn't.

yes he does

That's a burning lighter in his hand.

ah shit, now i see it.

Zoolander was terrible.

Zoolander is great

Zoolander was terrible.

yeah, no

tchocky=cup o mercurytchocky=cup o mercurytchocky=cup o mercurytchocky=cup o mercury

I guess Ben Stiller just isn't my thing. I found most of Zoolander annoying. There were some good bits (the walk-off, the 'gas' fight, the Zoolander School joke), but I just remember rolling my eyes more than laughing. In fact, I think Stiller had the majority of the weak moments in Tropic Thunder.

kiss the girls - B+

anything with morgan freeman won't get less than a b. I used to be a james patterson fan, not so much anymore. I can't really find a good genre of book anymore.

I can't really grade synecdoche as i cant really explain how that movie made me feel. considering eternal sunshine and adaptation are my two favorite films, and if i had to be objective i'd put synecdoche above adaptation but below ESOTPM. but no film ever punched me in the gut quite like synecdoche. i read reviews before watching it and the only criticism seemed to be in how convulted the film was, but i didn't find it convulted at all because its message was so clear and universal (that sermon by the priest toward the end made me feel like such shit). i wish people wouldn't focus on kaufman's "quirk" as if its some kind of gimmick, but the whole play within a play wasn't just for show, it was to illustrate a really meaningful point. i guess i'm just really impressionable to this kind of stuff i dont think ive ever felt like i could relate to any character in any movie as much as i did with PSH's character. jon brion's score is of course amazing and accentuated so many of the movie's punch-in-the-gut moments. but yeah i love this film a lot. A+ if i had to grade it.

I went and watched adaptation (for the first time) after reading this. I know exactly what you mean when you say these movies have an effect. I watched ESOTSM one night I think 3 times in a row. I've never done that with any movie. I think who plays the characters make a lot of difference for me. As for adaptation, I know I'll have to watch it more than once, but what a movie. This one is going to be on my mind for a minute. A++
Mainly because of right toward the end, she turns and says "I love you too you know...", and cage smiles this big goofy bright smile that sends the movie out right. And if you think about it, when he was in the bar with that film guy he told him you can have a shit script but a good ending, well that was pretty much it.

anything with morgan freeman won't get less than a b.

whoa, even Wanted?

I meant except wanted, but thats not really his fault. Other than that...

WHAT IS PURE ENTERTAINMENT NOT MEETING YOUR STANDARDS?

I meant except wanted, but thats not really his fault. Other than that...

I think Adaptation is my favourite Kaufman movie.

Spiderman 3 C-
i only saw about 3/4 of this abortion, but from what i can tell it was pretty bad. there was some cool sequences, but overall just an uninspired movie. venom gets vaporized? sandman disappears? horrible acting? stupid?

I haven't seen every morgan freeman movie out there, but he is one of the best actors out there.

The Spider-Man comic book purists seemed to like it though, from what I'd heard.

Fuck 'em. It was terrible.

confessions of a dangerous mind - A

was that matt damon and brad pitt? wtf? anyway, drew barrymore at her best imo. pretty much the whole cast played really well together (go figure). Really good movie. I'd recommend it if you haven't already seen it.

October 30th - November 6th

April Fool's Day (2008) - D-
oh man, baaaad.

Amateur Porn Star Killer 1 and 2 - F-
Pretty sure I downloaded these simply so I could say that I have watched a movie called Amatuer Porn Star Killer. But yeah, this and Part 2 were the worst movies I've ever seen.

Aftermath (1984) - C-
Short film, 30 minutes. Pretty much what the description said: mortician has sex with a dead body.

Aftermath: Genesis (1998) - C+
Sequel short film, 30 minutes. Out-of-work doctor now lives alone and has the body he had sex with in a plaster mold. But something happens that makes it actually a lot better than the first short.

Anguish (1986) - D+
Started out cheesy but OK, then drifted into absurdity.

The Art of 16 Bars - C+
Cheap documentary about the rap game; it was interesting, I guess, no standout flaws. Pretty average.

Adam and Evil - D-
Horrorflix.com is awesome because you can download ANY scary movie and a whole bunch you've never heard of before, 99% of which turn out really bad and cheesy. So, of course, it's the perfect site for me. Unintentionally hilarious.

A Tale of Two Cities - C+
To continue with the at-first-unintentional "A" movies ... never thought I'd say a movie was better than the book, though, but it was.

A Black Veil For Lisa - D+
Wasn't bad, wasn't good, either. Kinda just was.

Altered States - C
Pretty OK, until the end. Overall good, though, worth a watch.

April Fool's Day (1987) - D+

The Puppetry of the Penis - D+
Yeah, the A theme was getting old. Really wasn't all that funny; in fact the two dudes were kind of annoying. The stuff they were doing was half entertaining but half just unfunny.

Quarantine - C
pretty OK/average

Amateur Porn Star Killer 1 and 2 - F-
Pretty sure I downloaded these simply so I could say that I have watched a movie called Amatuer Porn Star Killer. But yeah, this and Part 2 were the worst movies I've ever seen.

The fact that you would even bother to watch part two says a lot about you, David.

Insomnia- D-

meh. I guess it's hit or miss with pacino, and I've never liked robin williams all that much. don't waste your time with it.

Anyone watched The Piano? Has it been mentioned?

I fucking hate Victorian-era films.

The fact that you would even bother to watch part two says a lot about you, David.did u expect any less?:smoke:

Pretty forgettable

Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd: Out of Control: D

My friend DVR'd this movie, so I watched it out of curiosity, and it wasn't good at all. Terry Crews had the movie's best moment, and that was at the beginning. It was pretty much downhill from there. Not even Anne Hathaway's cameo was all that funny.

new custom title, thanks to antipop!:banging:

anybody seen Quantum of Solace yet?

no, but I plan to.

bad company - c-

your average cop flick chris rock, anthony hopkins, playing cia

my mate saw it and said there's huge amounts of action and that it's really good, but possibly not quite as good as casino royale

Just Add Water - B-
American Psycho - C+
Three Burials of Meliquades Estrada - A
Thumbsucker - A-

Role Models - B+
Very funny. I love Paul Rudd so much and this movie actually makes Sean William Scott tolerable.

Synecdoche, New York - ???

I really have no idea. It has been said in this thread before, but there is just really no way to give a grade to this movie, let alone explain it. You will never see anything else remotely like it and it is very depressing. Beyond that I don't know what else can be said.

snatch - B+
planet terror - A (better than kill bills and death proof combined)
spun - C+
rain man - B+
caddyshack - B
american gangster - B+
zack and miri make a porno - B

also i caught up on 30 rock today. i've now seen every episode. and i just saw the one on last week and it's like the best one ever.

and i just saw the one on last week and it's like the best one ever.

^

the bridge - A
zack and miri make a porno - C+

kevin smith needs to stick to his strong points. this movie was so strong until about halfway through when it got sappy and cheesy with spotty humor. the bridge might be my favorite documentary ever.

august rush: d+ it held my attention long enough and rhys-meyers and russell are fucking beautiful but this was one huge cornfest. robin williams needs to stop it.

sweeney todd: a- enjoyable the whole way through. i think having non-profesh singers added to the enjoyment of it.

If All Goes Wrong - C+

wut

i just watched sweeny todd too. i give it an B-, whatever that means. a few weeks ago when i tried to watch it i wouldve given it a D. but it was great, and the singing didnt get to me too much this last time around. its beautiful but it gets the minus points for the cheesy ass blood spurting from the neck. it looked awful and the color of the blood is weak. tim burton disappoints on that level. everything else was great though.

righteous kill - B+

I didn't know pacino and deniro never were in the same scene during heat. Remember the restaurant scene where they were sitting together? wow

The Love Guru - B (relative to other similar goofy movies)

Zombie Strippers - F

Godawful piece of crap movie... thought it would be a fun b-horror movie... how wrong I was

FIDO - A. jesus that might be the best canadian movie of all time.

Quantum of Solace - B

Not nearly as good as Casino Royale, but still entertaining. I actually thought there was a little too much action, especially in the first ~30 minutes.

FIDO - A. jesus that might be the best canadian movie of all time.

gotta agree, FIDO was a blast!

Hellboy II: The Golden Army - B

It's a bad movie, but it's saved by the fact that it has a great sense of fun, and is very stylishly made. Ron Pearlman is fantastic as the title character.

I bought Get Smart on DVD and it actually improved with another viewing. Carell and Hathaway have great chemistry together, and that alone makes me excited for a Get Smart 2. I still think it could and should have been funnier though...and some of the jokes really fell flat ("I just whip it out." :rolleyes: )

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra- B

It was quite funny at times, except I think only truly, unintentionally bad movies will ever reach that A range for me. There were some pretty great quotes which I won't spoil for anyone, and it was well worth watching overall.

If All Goes Wrong: B+

Add one letter grade if you are a Pumpkins fans and subtract 2 letter grades if you are not.

quantum of solace - B-

unfortunately this had to follow casino royale. the homage to goldfinger was great, though.

Office Space - B+
Awesome.

X-Files - Series 1 through 3 - A+
Awesome!

The Ritz - B
Hellboy II - B+

I'm not a baby, I'm a tumor.

FIDO - A. jesus that might be the best canadian movie of all time.

well I'm not a huge fan of fido but regardless the best canadian movie of all time has to be Videodrome

I liked Nothing a lot as well.

christmas on mars - C

November 8th - November 16th

Swing Vote - C+

100 Feet - C+
There's two kinds of trash movies: the ones that are painful to get through and ones that are like, medicore and unoffensive - easy to sit through but you'd never watch again. Yeah, this one was the latter kind.

The Square - C-
meh.

Angel Heart - B+
:rockon:

House (2008) - D
contains quite a number of horror cliches: creepy son and mother, haunted house, bad memories/flashbacks, echoing kids voices, little pale children WHO KNOW EVERYTHING, etc.

Ushpuzin - C+

Christmas Cottage - D-
really awful movie about thomas kinkade. i was over my aunt's and this is the kinda movie they decided to watch - that's what happens when you get menopausal, religious women and a few of their 10 year old nephews together. pretty painful to watch, in all honesty.

Donkey Punch - D-
Awesome title, pretty awful movie.

How To Lose Friends and Alienate People - C
meh.

Eden Lake - B-
I like unhappy endings. Kinda predictable for the last 20 minutes or so, but still worth a watch.

Who's That Knocking At My Door? - B

Dennis The Menace - B
love love love this movie for some reason. walter matthau is the ultimate grumpy old guy. i want to put my penis in lea thompson like there is no tomorrow.

Dennis The Menace - B
love love love this movie for some reason. walter matthau is the ultimate grumpy old guy. i want to put my penis in lea thompson like there is no tomorrow.

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid - I must have watched it like 40 times, until my mom took away the tape. And I actually disliked the kid who plays Dennis.

Riki-Oh- B+, not quite on the level of say, Revenge of the Ninja, but amazing still. Especially the ending with the warden, jesus God damn titty-fucking Christ.

Howl's Moving Castle- B+, I'd never seen this in full until now. Spirited Away is probably my favorite Miyazaki movie, this isn't quite up there. The looming war wasn't really explained enough even though it was fairly important, overall not the most complex plot. Christian Bale as Howl though, I forgot about that, made me swoon. I mean I'd go gay for that, no question.

just saw "in bruges". entertaining movie. very nice.

i live in bruges, so recognizing every location adds to the experience, i guess.

Fantastic movie, easily one of the best I've seen this year.
You live in a pretty city.

i love how delighted colin farrell is when he spots the midget

Haha, or when he's fucking with those Americans.

black mask (jet li - 1996 blu ray)

2nd only to fist of legend. great movie

i love how delighted colin farrell is when he spots the midget

this is awesome!!

also the scene with Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes in the rooftop of that church is beautiful...

that's the belfry. it's not a church. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_tower)

i found it very unrealistic that the guy who jumped off it, didn't die immediately.

The Kite Runner - A excellent story

Forgetting Sarah Marshall- F

really terrible movie. lousy jokes gave me a headache

that's the belfry. it's not a church. (Bell tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_tower))

i found it very unrealistic that the guy who jumped off it, didn't die immediately.

yes it was unrealistic...
But the brutality of the guy falling from that height, being destroyed and actually surviving for a while, was heart wrenching.

hey La Belle, have you seen The Kite Runner?

hey La Belle, have you seen The Kite Runner?

Nope, not yet...
Actually it was recommended to me by other friends, I may be watching it this weekend

yeah you should. But beware, it's not action packed and very sad at times but an excellent movie. If I may be so bold I would recommend watching it on Sunday.

Well, then it's just up my alley, I love subdued dramas :)

Green Street Hooligans

B+. Unrealistic, OTT violence doesnt help.

Not trying to incite any arguments, but is being realistic necessary for a movie to be good?

i was only really using that point in this particular instance. Im guessing you dont know very much about football (soccer) and the associated organized violence?

Not trying to incite any arguments, but is being realistic necessary for a movie to be good?

depends on the movie babe

i was only really using that point in this particular instance. Im guessing you dont know very much about football (soccer) and the associated organized violence?

I wasn't defending that movie... it's just a question that was raised by your post, regarding movies in general.

I do know about the organized violence in football, just the other day two people were killed in my city because of football.
And I do agree that the way they portray that in Green Street Hooligans is indeed unrealistic.

Still a great movie.

November 16th - November 22nd

Primary Colors - B+
lol

Mean Streets - C-
this seemed to drag on foreeeeever

Juff Dunham's A Very Special Christmas - D-

Girlhood (2003) - C
doc about two girls, one black and one hispanic, going through the juvenile system. pretty good; the hispanic girl was personable and seemed like a genuinely good person just without guidance.
it's kinda crazy to think how much of these girls' lives have been locked up, but they are still stunted; but also, so they can be wiser than you'd think.

This Christmas - D
typical family movie

Filth and Wisdom - C+
I enjoyed this.

I just finished watching Blade Runner for the first time. Pretty good, but not as amazing as everyone says. Maybe I'm missing something.

Watched a few today so thought I'd write something.

Sunshine - Hmm, starts off nice, your general sci-fi in space isolated feel. Then seems to go all event horizon and goes somewhat overboard as the film comes to a pretty quick and messy ending. For some reason I thought this film was going to be more detached and isolated, more analysing of the environment and psychology, perhaps more akin to Solaris. Anyway, I guess a 3.5 for this.

Yojimbo - Well this was great, though I thought the protaganist almost too much of a rebel without a cause. Maybe that was a part of the total masterwork of storytelling Akira put forward here, hinting the wanderer to be the more experienced of moral judgement then the practically lawless folk. I don't think the film wanted to get too philosophical, surely it had no need, it was certainly akin to the westerns of old and a great action film with a slightly moral satirical edge. I'd say a 4.5 for this.

Batman Begins - Finally watched this again, been around 2 years since I've seen this fully and I think the third time now. This really is a gem, make no mistake. Tim Burtons original is still my favourite, but this is just as good, probably better as a solidly built film. Infact I would go so far to say that this film is one of the most detailed and well made films from start to finish of this decade. Dark Knight just couldn't live up to this, it got a lot of fanboy love sure but the fact is it was a tad messy and started to move into territory that Batman just doesn't need to go. Anyway, this and Blade are the best Comic films of the last 10 years imo. I found it quite interesting they were both written by David Goyer also. Certainly a 5, complete classic for the genre.

Walk the Line - C

Awesome to start with, but I became incredibly bored during the middle when JC had his almost never-ending spell with drug addiction.

Wall • E - A-

Adorable little movie, really love that they kept dialogue to a minimum. It's a little too predictable but they make up for it with the wonderful animation.

Season one of Never Better - C+
Stephen Mangan (Green Wing) plays Keith, a recovering alcoholic, and Kate Ashfield (Shaun Of The Dead) plays his wife. The show is very funny in parts, but also a little boring in other parts. Worth seeing at least once if you are a fan of either Green Wing or Shaun of the Dead. Hopefully it gets another season to give it a chance to grow.

quantum of solace-B

I liked it. not nearly as good as casino royale. got a little too jason bournish during the fight scenes

Wall-e-A-

love it, the commentary was informative to watch along with it. like the first half of the movie more than the second. ratatouille is still my favorite

Hellboy II-the Golden Army-B+

I really liked this sequel. It wasn't too serious and poked fun at itself. I know some people found the beer drinking scene to be awful, but i didn't. not nearly as bad as spiderman dance sequence.

If All Goes Wrong-B+

i surprisingly liked the documentary quite a bit. much more entertaining and insightful than I thought it would be. There were parts i didn't like, but overall I was pretty surprised with it.

Get Smart-C+

had some funny moments, anne hathaway is hot.


Cable Guy-B

I still find this movie hilarious. probably the only one out of all the jim carey movies. owen wilson is funny as well.

"you're sexy"

Friday- D+

The movie was lousy except for Chris Tucker and all the weed.

dont be a menace is way better than friday.

battle royale - B-

foot fist way - B+

way darker than i expected. still funny

The King of Kong- B or B+

It's really weirdly interesting, a fiercely competitive and long-standing subculture of old video games, and it's never been documented very well. You really feel for Steve Wiebe but he at least gets vindicated in the end.

Something in this kind of resonated with my situation, having devoted a ridiculous portion of my life to the game Worms to become the best or one of the few best all-round players, and yet I know hardly anyone will ever know or care about the community. From an outsider standpoint it seems kind of thankless and hopeless, which is the feeling I got when watching Steve, it felt like looking at myself.

son of rambow - A

adorable movie!! unique and interesting children's drama movie, with some comedic elements thrown in for good measure... one of the best things I've seen this year.

Friday- D+

The movie was lousy except for Chris Tucker and all the weed.

I knew I had to d/l this right when I saw it even existed. I don't remember the first one too much, but I think I thought it was ok. But it was a typical thriller or whatever. Best line: "Jesus would let them in the house." "Yeah, because He knows He's just come back in three days."

QOS- B

better then Casino Royale i think, but i don't really remember much of that movie

...jeez i really hate movies

QOS: B - Not as good as Casino Royale though still decent fun.
The Shining: A - Haven't seen this in years and being older now makes the terror and vulnerability of Wendy the scariest bit. Great film!

pineapple express - B+
started out great but dragged a bit toward the end

tropic thunder - B-
robert downey jr is great

Oh I forgot these as well:

Paranoid Park: A- - Great film, frustrating ending.
The Protector: B+ - Hilarious yet awesome muay thai movie. Pretty much showcasing this guy who does all of his own stunts w/o CGI or wires. Pretty amazing stuff, if not exceptionally cheesy :D

Australia - B

not bad, some great scenes

get smart - D+

Zack And Miri Make A Porno - A-
I'm so glad Kevin Smith is back to his old form.

I've been sick since Wednesday and all I have done while awake is watch movies:

Zack and Miri Make a Porno - C+
Had some funny parts but pretty meh. I never really got what was so great about Kevin Smith but whatever.

The Pianist - B
Seemed just a tad too long to me but otherwise worth watching.

Role Models - B-
Not as funny as I thought it would be but still pretty good. A solid rental but not a movie worth seeing in theaters. I love Paul Rudd.

Regarding Henry - D
It was available to watch instantly on Netflix and I did not feel like getting up to go to my shelf to get a movie I actually wanted to watch. I think I fell asleep at some point but a ten year old could follow this plot without much effort.

Downfall - A
Really, really good. Solid acting throughout.

The Tao of Steve - C
I'm not sure why I rented this. Not bad but I don't know, I just never got that into it.

the first season of six feet under A+
watched it all practically in one sitting and it was amazing. after all the critical acclaim that show got around here it was about time i saw what the hubbub was. now i know what i want for christmas.

Pineapple Express - B+
I liked it more than I thought I would.

pineapple express - B+
tropic thunder - B-


i couldn't even get halfway through those.

zack and miri - started of good but went to shit.

get smart - D+

http://www.wired.com/images/article/magazine/1605/gs_carell4_f.jpg

why does D. put himself through so m uch bullshit

Tropic Thunder was pretty sweet except for that weird part where Tom Cruise danced for 5 minutes for no reason.

stepbrothers - A
ridiculous but hilarious

Virgin Suicides - B. It was pretty awesome, I liked the whole pastel-ish feel of the movie. Coppola did a really good job of establishing a unique atmosphere. Not as good as Lost in Translation. Kristen Dunst was a big negative.

man i always forget about Downfall when i'm thinking of great movies from the last 10 years

awesome awesome movie

oh I watched Role Models it was actually hilarious but probably like a B- movie

also:

Ashes of Time Redux: B
Let the Right One In: A-

quite a few funny parts but overall just ok.

your posts in this thread, it's like you're trying to give me an aneurysm over the internet. i mean, you're not really trying to (i don't think at least, i'm trying to be rational) but really, the logic in your choices of movies to watch, and then your reviews, IT'S GOING TO PUT ME EITHER IN THE HOSPITAL OR IN THE FUCKING GROUND DUDE.

Try some good movies for a change?

Shawshank Redemption - A

zach and miri. B-

it was too sentimental. some parts were fucking funny and hilariously real

the protector was shitty, especially after ong bak. they might not use effects in the fight scenes much (and they do use some in this movie) but they go overboard and under budget on the rest

If All Goes Wrong - ?

I got this on Monday and watched the live DVD right away, and kinda hesitated to watch the documentary. Part of me is still that fanboy loving everything this band puts out, but man... I don't know, some of this was just unbearable. Ugh.

Four Christmasses: C+
Pretty funny in parts and then pretty boring in other parts. everytime that baby vomited i was scared shitless.

Little Monsters: B-
great movie, very nostalgic. i think i watched this movie a dozen times when i was a kid, which is surprising considering some very dark and creep images. the end nearly makes me cry every time.

Batman, Mask of the Phantasm: C
i was always a fan of the batman animated series growing up and this movie was right up my ally. just under 77 minutes it doesn't drag on too long and ever scene has something to say. mark hamill as joker is always a pleasure.

Dead Man Walking - C+
Sean Penn was really good (though I found his hair a bit distracting) and it sure was nice of Tim Robbins to give Susan Sarandon some Oscar-bait. I haven't seen her in much but she always seems to overact either a tiny bit or a ton whenever I have seen her in something. She made me roll my eyes a few times during this and made the film sort of grating to watch at points. I don't know, she just irks me.

Tadpole - D+
It's not that this movie is bad but between the shaky camerawork, hitting you over the head with points that should be more subtle and making it seem like this somewhat pretentious teenage turd is going to have forty year-old women wanting him is just a bit too out of the realm of believability to me. Wow! He speaks French! Let me take my pants off right now! He's only fifteen but he's always wearing a sweater and sounding smart!

The Strangers-B

What a terrible ending.. but they were some parts that got my adrenaline pumping

nobel son - B+ - nothing new but a genre of action comedy im not quite sick of yet. id watch it again

C-
besides the predictable plot, there was all kinds of funny in this movie (the eyebrow scene and the following one, the religious pizza shop, Alec Baldwin, and Dane Cook being an asshole at the wedding).

The Strangers- C-

Did I already rate this? Pretty weak movie, it's not completely predictable, but it's not really scary, suspenseful, or interesting, and there's no plot or character development whatsoever, no motives for the killers, nothing.

Dr. Strangelove- A

I've already seen this before, but really an excellent movie, classic humor in the midst of an apocalyptic scenario. The ending is so dark and hilarious, probably the best portion of the movie.

Bolt - A

I liked that Moby Dick TV movie. Patrick Stewart was terrific as Ahab.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall -

C+

Decent story, but not nearly as funny as it was made out to be.

^^^that was THE worst movie I've ever seen in my life. I hate it.

i had thought forgetting sarah marshall was only ok when i first watched it, but it was one of those rare movies that are funnier with repeated viewings, imo.

have i finally killed this thread? :banging:

The Transporter 3 - D+

Eastern Promises - B-

3:10 To Yuma - C+

Friends With Money - B-

Gran Torino - B-
Most of the racially-charged dialogue and scenes were ham-fisted, bad attempts to make Eastwood still the "badass" he used to be. And some of the acting was way overdone, to the point of painful. But the scene in the barbershop was gold and there were some spots here and there that really made me laugh.
Too bad the ending was godawfully bad, though I did learn an amazing new insult: "pusscake".

Baghead - D-

and it is. it's like machina.

<b>Any Given Sunday</b> C
I mean I guess it's a C since I enjoyed it because I kind of felt some of the team dynamics were believable and Dennis Quaid is really pretty great in it. Though there were parts of it that were like most Oliver Stone movies: too much. And the uniforms of the other teams looked like they were designed by someone who was colorblind. This kind of thing seriously pisses me off since I can create colorful, nicer looking jerseys on Madden but they're putting together sea green, light blue and yellow for the opposing team. Really? What the fuck? And the Dallas Knights jerseys are just awful, yeah it might look cool to have a Knights Templar crest covering the full chest of the jersey but following that up with sunburst yellow for the rest of the jersey and helmet (without a logo) is just a bad idea.

Oh yeah and there's some powerful misogyny at work in this movie. Every single woman in it is a total inexplicable bitch, especially Lauren Holly as Quaid's wife.

Milk - A

Whoa.

I know!

I want to see it. I heard a thing about Harvey Milk on NPR and he sounded really awesome. Kind of the ass kicking liberal I wish I saw more of.

sp gen chat neg rep

<b>The Stepford Wives</b> - Should have been creepier than it was, starts off good and then moves entirely too quickly to the end. Also one of the great things about the end is that the explanation and the demonstration of the conspiracy are entirely different. I read this movie had production problems but this is pretty unforgivable. It literally happens in the same scene like they weren't paying attention. This would have been better if it wasn't treated like a comedy for the first half, even if the interplay between Bette Middler, Kidman, and the gay guy is pretty amusing. This plot should be full of gender satire but is toothless. Especially because of tacked-on, awkward Hollywood ending that differs entirely from the ugliness of the novel. I'm sure the director of American Psycho could have made this a lot better. <b>C-</b>

Milk: A / can't say anything bad about it. Pretty gay.
Gran Torino: B- / It was decent. Horrible acting though.
Curious Case of Benjamin Button: C / Long. Boring.

Benjamin Button looks like those Oscar TM movies that just goes on forever like it has something important to say but really has nothing to say at all.

I really wish some of you would actually do capsule reviews of these movies.

I'm over here puttin in thought to this and the rest of you, well goodness. You should be ashamed.

I can't believe Milk is getting high marks... that film fucking sucked. It was 2 hours of Sean Penn overacting, begging and pleading to get an Oscar.

Benjamin Button is going to be awesome and nothing i hear to the contrary will convince me otherwise.

Wall-E - A

i was expecting it to be adorable and heartwarming, and it delivered. fully and completely. the final scene was somehow emotionally draining for me. argh. what an awesome fucking movie.

and the beginning scenes with EVE blowing shit up everywhere and when he knocked down all those shopping carts and they slammed him into the sliding doors...aw. great stuff.

also, the people who didn't like it must suck.

burn after reading - B
brad pitt should take on more roles like he does in this one.

I saw The Day the Earth Stood Still on opening night with a bud.

Looked great, but everything else was oh so horrible. Haha, right when the credits started rolling, my friend whipped out his cellphone and called his brother miles away to stop him before he got to the theater.

i was always a fan of the batman animated series growing up and this movie was right up my ally. just under 77 minutes it doesn't drag on too long and ever scene has something to say. mark hamill as joker is always a pleasure.

I was never able to sit through the whole thing, and I couldn't tell you why. It's not that I didn't like it, because up until I turned it off, it was pretty enjoyable. But it made me extremely depressed for God knows what reason. And to this day, I still haven't gotten all the way through it. Weird.

also, the people who didn't like it must suck.

Is there anyone that didn't like that movie outside of Netphoria?

i left after 45 minutes. i hardly ever go to the movies anymore, unless i feel the movie would be better on a big screen (cloverfield, dark night, etc.) so I was pissed that i wasted the time. but i did get a free movie ticket.

i really really liked the original but this was just big blockbuster b.s. and totally missed the subtlety of the original.

Weird how you don't mind sitting through total dreck at home.

Is there anyone that didn't like that movie outside of Netphoria?

yep. one of my best friends, my uncle, and his two small children that i know of.

im going to watch Halloween 1-5 tonight

yep. one of my best friends, my uncle, and his two small children that i know of.

People are already buzzing that it could win Best Picture.

And small children don't know good if it hit them on the head in the first place. Sit through any random hour of Disney Channel original programming and this will be verified. I'm sure the other two weren't satisfied since not enough things exploded and there weren't gorgeous women showing cleavage.

I haven't seen WALL-E but it does look outstanding.

....2 hours of Sean Penn overacting, begging and pleading to get an Oscar.

I Am Sam?

I haven't seen WALL-E but it does look outstanding.

It is. One of my three favorites from this year.

well, there's not a whole lot of commitment when it takes like, 10 minutes to download a movie.

I enjoyed it.

a christmas story - A+

I tried to sit through the curious case of benjamin button, and I just couldn't.... I hardly ever pay for a movie and get up and leave. I almost walked out of Twilight.

It's depressing that there will be no good films to look forward to this year like there will be blood, or something....

<B>Bad Santa</b> - I think most of you know by now that I have a tremendously wicked sense of humor so it should come as no surprise that I absolutely love this movie. It is so unflinchingly mean-spirited and ugly. It's main character is so thoroughly awful that it's kind of hard to love him, but you surround him with a dwarf with an unbelievable potty mouth and a penchant for unwarranted verbal abuse and a completely self-infatuated Bernie Mac; then put said horrible drunk Willie with a lonely, adorable little fat kid and he instantly becomes someone that has at least some kind of redeemable value. The part where he destroys Thurman's precious advent calendar simply because he's an evil old drunk is not only the low point for Willie but one of the funnier parts in the film, especially when Willie feels bad about it later on and re assembles it putting tic tacs and asprin in the little panels instead of chocolate. Finding out the name of the little fat kid after living with him for 2/3rds of the movie is also a nice touch. "Thurman Merman? That's your fucking name?" Also, I don't think I've seen a funnier sex scene than Lauren Graham saying "Fuck me Santa!" over and over again. <b>B+</b>

you won't shit right for a week

"God damn it kid, were you dropped on your head?"
"How could someone drop me on my own head?"
"Are you fucking with me?"

Virgin Suicides - B. It was pretty awesome, I liked the whole pastel-ish feel of the movie. Coppola did a really good job of establishing a unique atmosphere. Not as good as Lost in Translation. Kristen Dunst was a big negative.

I don't think anyone could have played Lux better. I generally don't like her acting though, it's so dry.

I will one of these days. I'm a little turned off because of all the quoting, and i know what happens at the end, and i think i might really dislike ed norton. made worse because i used to work with a guy that thought he was the biggest badass and was all like fuck yeah ed norton all the time.

but i'll give it a shot someday

did you ever see Fight Club

Blade Runner - C
I know I'm going to get shit for this but at this point i don't care and really no one else does either. i don't think sci-fi is my genre. it was pretty cool for half of it, then it got kinda meh, then ended alright.

Bad Santa is one of my favorite movies ever.:banging:

Is there anyone that didn't like that movie outside of Netphoria?

I skimmed the whole thread and apparently nobody on Netphoria even hated this movie. So that just means it must be fucking incredible.

I mean there's always someone on Netphoria that's going to hate on some critically and popularly successful movie; D. has no sense and ravenguy hated The Dark Knight but loved Indy 4 (I haven't even seen Indy 4 but I heard about the fridge and never will).

Bad Santa is one of my favorite movies ever.:banging:

You also like Friday which shows you have a decent sense of humor but the reviews for Blade Runner and Apocalypse Now shows you have no sense of...well. No sense. I'll just leave it at that.

i thought 300 was a fucking masterpiece

I still haven't seen this movie so I don't know what this is about.

Lately I've been wondering if I even want to see 300.

I haven't seen 300 yet, either. I was talking to the owner of a comics shop near my hotel a few days ago, and he was ranting and raving about the movie, visually. He thought it was a pretty faithful adaptation of Miller's storyline and left out just the right moments that would have been awkward for a movie audience. But supposedly there were times during the slow-mo that you could pause the movie and hold the book next to the screen, and the two will look identical. Apparently Snyder likes to do this sort of thing for the fanboys, because I hear you'll be able to hold the book up to Watchmen, as well.

I told the guy I'd download it and get back to him. Iron Man, too, since it's supposed to be something great.

300 looked great but was dull and stupid.

iron man was okay.

i liked hellboy better

silent night, deadly night - C+

A funny bad slasher movie, seeing a guy dressed as Santa commiting murders on christmas night is very funny. best kill: sled guy's head taking a leave off his body, then neatly rolling next to it's dead counterpart.

silent night, deadly night 2 - Z

This movie is bad in so many ways... half of it is just footage from the first film, both from flashbacks and a movie theater scene where the characters watch the first film, which makes zero sense. The other half is even more inapt than the first one, terrible acting, terrible everything, stay away from this piece of crap. best kill: a guy getting impaled by an umbrella, which opens halfway through his meat.

You also like Friday which shows you have a decent sense of humor but the reviews for Blade Runner and Apocalypse Now shows you have no sense of...well. No sense. I'll just leave it at that.
yeah i guess i should amend that. friday has been my favorite comedy since i first saw it. but bad santa is a close second.

i enjoyed iron man, it was fun.

Also, I'm kinda watching transformers again at the moment and it's really a great movie.

Hamlet 2 - C
Not nearly as funny as I thought it would be considering Steve Coogan and Amy Poehler are in it (though the latter is not in there much). Some of the musical stuff at the end was pretty funny but overall sort of disappointing. I am sort of relieved I did not go see this in theaters.

Amelie - A
I put off watching this movie because it looked just a little too cutesy for me to like it. It is at points cute, but there are also some good laughs and I really liked the story. It just seems like one of those movies that is impossible not to like. Highly recommended to those two people besides me who have yet to see this.

You really don't.

eh, aside from snuff, it's all quick and entertaining. useless too. but hey. good airplane/car reading, i say.

Doubt - A

The acting is absolutely stellar. Amy Adams even keeps up with the other two, in my eyes. I dunno. The writing's good, the acting's good. The movie's good. Go see it.

^ seconded

i can't wait to see doubt.

but however last night greg & i saw...

THE WRESTLER- A+++++++++++++++++++++, i laughed, i cried and mickey rourke is gonna take it all home come oscar day.

Burn After Reading - B-

Great acting, decent story....not the best Coen Bros film IMO. Some classic parts, but I didn't laugh once. (not even inside my head)

the boss is also gonna win for best song for a movie:

A friend of mine saw that and highly recommended it, I was kind of surprised.

Magnolia - A+
One of my favorite movies.

License To Wed - F

I really thought John Krasinski could have saved this movie, but not a chance. I'm having trouble thinking of a worse movie I've seen this year. Mandy Moore was at least nice eye candy.

I pretty much rule out seeing anything with Robin Williams in it at this point just to save myself the aggrevation.

Last Action Hero - ?
I love this movie, but I don't think I've ever seen it in English before. WHY DOES SCHWARZENEGGER KEEP THAT FRUITY ACCENT? Unbearable.

I was thinking about Last Action Hero recently... I kind of want to see it again and spoil how bad it was.

Valkyrie - B-

I don't get all the Tom Cruise the Actor hate. I get the Tom Cruise the Person backlash, but he is a good actor. I like historically accurate films and thought Tom Wilkinson was great, good to see Eddie Izzard onscreen as always as well.

Valkyrie is kind of a poor man's Munich, but I enjoyed it. Probably wouldn't watch it again.

yeah, eddie izzard was a surprise. i didn't even know it was him, having only seen his stand up once or twice like 3 years ago, but my brother-in-law pointed it out. he was good in this, though.

Gothic - C +

In the Company of Wolves - C +

The Hours - B +

Doubt - A

The acting is absolutely stellar. Amy Adams even keeps up with the other two, in my eyes. I dunno. The writing's good, the acting's good. The movie's good. Go see it.


I'm going to see this as soon as it hits town. Why is Meryl Streep dressed like a victorian nun?

I liked the directors cut better. You should give it a shot. I'm really into sci fi though.

he's had some pretty good performances in some pretty good movies, but it gets harder and harder to separate the actor from the douchebag. i'd rather just avoid him altogether.

also i want to see the wrestler.
