I guess it's just a case of a movie being so bad, it's good.
haha maybe, galafanakis was funny in it, i would agree with that one haha
dinner for schmucks really? that movie was horrific, 1/5, that and anchorman r probably the 2 worst comedies i have ever seen
So, anybody watching the awards tonight? I'm thinking The Social Network for best picture, Inception for original screenplay and Toy Story 3 for animated film.
kings speech and dido ur others
firth, bale, benning/kidman, steinfeld
director fighter/ black swan cant decide
i think films with live action like sports or dance like fighter and black swan require better directing, imo
Due Date was an exercise in tedium for me. While I like absurd humor and I enjoy most films with Robert Downey, Jr. and Zach Galifianakis, this combination didn't work as well as it should've. The entire film was just awkward all across the board. The pacing was off, the setpieces were difficult to watch, and the humor was uneven. There weren't as many laughs as I expected. I don't recommend it at all.
it was sub par, only part i really laughed at was when they were at the grand canyon "dad...you were like a father to me" hahaha
Terry Crews is awesome. I remember being the dad on "Everybody Hates Chris" and than I saw him in the expendables and I couldn't believe how good he is. He did the Old Spice commercial too? Wow.
Anyway, Starz is free this weekend and right now I'm watching Zombieland which is a great funny movie, anyone else see that movie?
ya zombieland was funny, worth a watch for sure
Even though it's not a movie, I still love the Planet Earth series. Maybe I just like watching animals with British narration.
if u like planet earth, u will like "life" its in the same vein and richard attenborough does the narration as well, blue plant was pretty much all the sea stuff from planet earth, rip off
watchin the great white eat the bird in slo mo in blu ray on my 62 tv is worth the price of the whole series haha
Terry Crews was the only redeeming quality about Idiocracy (like he is with most movies) it's a weirdly disjointed and quirky social satire, but it's hard to get past the horrible production.
Anyone seen Eastern Promises?
it aint easy being cheesy!
haha i always laugh my butt off when i see that dude or hear about him,
funny story about eastern promises, i was talkin to a buddy about it when it came out, i was like "you seen it? i dont know about it, is it good" so the first words out of his mouth were that viggo fights some dude naked or something haha, ive yet to watch it
viggo is a wicked actor, a good older one with him in it is "a perfect murder" also starring paltrow and michael douglas, not sure if uve seen that one, also history of violence wasnt bad
Anyone seen Unknown? Im trying to watch it this weekend.
i started it last night but didnt finish it, couldnt get into it, i will watch it later, im not that far in, he had just tracked down his wife after his car accident
I almost want to see The Green Hornet just because he is the bad guy in it.
...almost
he is funny in a few scenes, i burst out laughing once, his character is pretty pathetic, takes himself way too serious, kind of ur really evil/pathetic villain, kinda funny tho
Hurt Locker was above average, great acting but not worth the hype.
Heres how I rate last years Oscar nominations in order from best to worst:
A Serious Man - Subtle yet masterfully underplayed
Precious - Incredibly heavy film (excuse the pun)
Inglourious ****s - The Christoph Waltz show
Hurt Locker - Well acted
District 9 - Unique
Avatar - CGI vanity piece
The Blindside - Wut
*Didnt see "An Education"
i walked out of that movie going, wow waltz will win the oscar, sure enuf, it was obvious tho, what an awesome role
I couldn't help but bust out laughing when Norman Bates came out of nowhere, dressed like his mother and cackling. It wasn't supposed to be funny, but it's so cheesy today, tears were coming out of my eyes from laughing so hard. My professor shot me a look but then couldn't help cracking up himself. I had the whole class rolling and we went back to that scene and watched it twice more for laughs.
haha think of how scary that probably was back in the day, i feel the same way about "the birds", my mom told me she saw it as a kid and had nightmares ![]()
Taking a film class this semester, so far we've watched...
City Lights by Charlie Chaplin - silent film, laughed a little and then fell asleep
Casablanca - unmoved by romanticism, would've flown away with the girl
On The Waterfront - "I could'a been a contender!", pretty good movie with pigeons
Psycho - best out of the four, a genuinely creepy plot with the whole mother/son insane relationship
/expert film analysis
Next up is Bonnie and Clyde
once charlie chaplin entered a charlie chaplin look a like contest, and finished 3rd
I just watched an older movie 'Just Cause' (available on Netflix IW). Stars Sean Connery and Laurence Fishburne. I thought it was going to be one of those racial tension flicks. But it really duped me in the end. Not a bad flick.
Ed Harris plays an amazing bad guy (Locked up psycho killer).
ya that movie is great, the acting is incredible
Unknown looks like Taken meets The Net
trailer dubs it it taken meets bourne
Thumbs up: The next three days (Russel Crowe), Takers (Idris Elba, Chris Brown, Clifford Joseph Harris JR aka T.I. and Hayden Christensen)
Thumbs down: The Green Hornet
Really, Takers is an awesome movie, it's worth seeing.
The next three days is a real thinker, not Inception thinking though, but it's a good movie.
The Green Hornet.... Well, it sucks.
i enjoyed the next 4 days
watched "the human stain" (2003), incredible story with a great twist, anthony hopkins does it again, maybe i will read the book
Let me guess, he realizes he loves Jennifer Aniston
haha ya that was my guess too, the same movie just gets made over and over again...yet we continue to watch them haha
Still interested in some movies coming up
Priest
Thor
Capt. america
Fast 5
Movies rumored I want to see
Dragon Lance Chronicles( this rumor has been on going for 7 years enough already)
Punisher Reboot (if they mix Tom Janes char with the total kick buttery of Warzone I will be happy)
The Hobbit
the priest looks ill, im gettin tired of the all super hero movies tho, they r gettin a little monotonous.
For a Peter Jackson movie, I was disappointed. It certainly had some cool stuff going on in it, but the pacing was off. Also Marky Mark in a serious role is rarely good news.
oh really its peter jackson hey? thats cool ill check it for sure
has anyone looked at "the lovely bones"?? the story seems good, i was thinking of watchin it
The Adjustment Bureau looks good
Blow was a period piece set in the '70s and '80s, so my theory holds up that Depp is great in fantasy films and period pieces, and is horrible in most of the contemporary roles he chooses. There's been a couple of possible exceptions to that rule, but I can't think of any from his filmography.
r u saying his acting is trash or the movies themselves are?
Daniel Day-Lewis is 53
Denzel Washington is 56
Johnny Depp is 47
Leonardo Dicaprio is 36
I win
was wondering that myself haha, good actors/ess's from my gen more along the lines of, natalie portman, ryan gosling, there dont seem to b too many up and comers that rnt comedians
i used to be a huge deniro and pacino fan, while i still enjoy thier erlier roles, and the ones from the 90s, their last few films havnet done it for me, i did enjoy stone recently from deniro, but a more seasoned actor like them who i enjoy more now is anthony hopkins,
fracture and hearts in atlantis r a few of my favs
