I give it a 3 out of 5. Some of the dramatic acting was bleh, but overall, good enough for 5 or 6 bucks.
Now I'm on to HEAT....oh yeah.
Heat... shootout scene post bank job... on surround sound cranked = epic.
Saw the new Superman movie the other night ... actually quite good (but then again it was written by Christopher Nolan and directed by Zach Snyder).
Superman's an actual honest to God American hero in this one, not a whiny metrosexual like the horrid Superman Returns.
"Evidence"
Sucked. The $7 would have been better spent on PBR.
Que the why beer is better than bargain bin movies jokes... At least with beer you know what you're getting and it's more than likely good!Quote:

Highly recommended (a better than average Indy movie)

(yes, Dee Snyder is in it)
I finally watch stand up guys with Pacino & walken... great film.
Watched the Call tonight with Halle Berry. Yes, she's still hot. Good movie. Creepy.
As hot as in Monster's Ball?Quote:

Cool, I've got that sitting on my Plex server and haven't got around to watching it ... was hoping it was good.Quote:

Anyone see "The Host" on PPV? I'm in the mood for an alien invasion movie.
Just watched Europa Report on iTunes. I think it's coming out to theaters shortly but you can watch it now if you want. Thought it was pretty good/realistic.

Odds are, that's not the alien movie you're looking for- it's based on the book by the chick who wrote the Twilight series.Quote:

I just saw RED2 with the wife on Friday, had me laughing out loud. John Malcovich is awesome!
You guys hear there is going to be another Taken movie made? In this one, a gender confused young man gets nabbed some where in Thailand just before his gender reassignment surgery. The bad guys don't realize their error until he goes up for auction with all the other kidnapped young girls. It's going to be called "MissTaken."
Saw The Conjuring yesterday. If you couldn't guess from my avatar, I love horror movies, and I'm always looking out for a movie that can spook out my jaded self as if I were a kid again but this movie was just OK. Nothing bad about it per se, but it's not a two-timer, ie, I can't see myself interested in seeing it a second time. Insidious, which Patrick Wilson was also in, was much better.
Anyone seen Pacific Rim yet?
"The Colony"
Bad. Skip it. Seemed like a good concept, but failed miserably IMHO.
Spoiler:
A colony of ice age survivors go to see what's up with another colony of survivors who haven't responded to radio calls. Dudes go to the other colony to find it overrun with cannibals. Cannibals follow dudes back to their colony, big fight ensues, hero wins. Yawn.
Watched "Oblivion" yesterday. Confusing to say the least.
Oh man I shoulda listened to ya-bad bad !!!Quote:

Man, is there anything good on DirecTV PPV? It all looks like garbage to me.
We're in that slump right now- it happens every year- all the good holiday season movies already came out on DVD (and PPV), and all the big summer "blockbusters" aren't out on DVD yet. We're in that purgatory of movie releases where there is nothing but garbage for a few months. Your best bet is to find a good TV show and start watching it on demand/Netflix, or just watch some classics... the other day I watched Beatlejuice for the first time in probably 15 years- caught a lot more that I missed the first few times watching it when I was younger. "Hey hey! Where ya goin'? Nice f*ckin' model! *honk honk*"Quote:

Holy run of shitty movies Batman. I recommend an immediate return to the classics until something decent comes out. Start with:
Airplane
Caddyshack
Stripes
Better Off Dead
Strange Brew
To add to this wonderful list:Quote:

Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
The Godfather 1 & 2
Schindler's List
Fight Club
The Usual Suspects
Taxi Driver
Concur... and then some.Quote:

Is it safe to say that Spielberg and Lucas should be locked up for raping these great franchises?Quote:

I saw it on a hadji copy over here. I didn't care for it too much, but its giant robots fighting aliens. Theres something awesome in there somewhere. Im just not into the whole Japanese based monster films.Quote:
