The Genius 01-17-2009 10:53 PM

Quantum of Solace: 7 out of 10. A little artsy, but I really liked it.

Yeah, I liked it too. The first 45 minutes of the thing I still had no clue of the actual plot.

LOL. The last 2 showings of this at my local cinema sold out. (I wasn't there to watch it, I was there to watch...)


The Wrestler - 6.5/10

G 01-18-2009 08:56 PM

National Treasure 2 9/10


That shit was better than Indy.

thedamndest 01-18-2009 09:04 PM

I agree. National Treasure 2 was better than sitting through Indianapolis 500.

(You did NOT mean Jones, even the new one).

G 01-18-2009 09:41 PM

I meant Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, Last Crusade and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.


Anything else I can spell out for you.

No, I did not watch it in 3D.

I love slasher movies, but there is no excuse for the awful cinematography, horrible acting, and predictable nature.

:y:

2/10 for me. I saw it in 3D and I felt like they didnt really make use of the 3D technology much until the end.

It was pretty bad. I like slasher films, but I couldnt get into this one. The characters in these movies are usually pretty stupid...but this movie went beyond that.

Destor 01-20-2009 12:10 AM

Repo! The Genetic Opera: 2/10

not even done and I can tell you thats what this is getting, and it only gets that cause Anthony Stuart Head rocks.

How was Jensen Ackles? Because in the show Supernatural he's pretty cool.

Gonzo 01-20-2009 01:36 AM

The Shawshank Redemption 10/10 — Great story, great film.

The Invasion 7/10 — In the mold of the body snatchers, but believable and entertaining enough as far as sci-fi flicks go.

The Darjeeling Limited 7/10 — Not "lol" funny but humorous none the less. Great casting.

Crazy Nick 01-20-2009 03:37 AM

The X-Files I Want To Believe- 7/10, I was a pretty big fan of the tv show, when it was on and this movie was pretty good.

wwe2222 01-20-2009 03:08 PM

The Wrestler

9/10

G 01-21-2009 01:17 AM

The Rocker 5/10

Gran Torino - 8/10 - Also mad good.

Some Like It Hot - 6/10 - Liked.

The Apartment - 7/10 - Good stuff.

Funny Ha Ha - 6/10

Mutual Appreciation - 3/10 - Pretentious shit. Annoying ass movie.

Destor 01-21-2009 06:04 PM

Mirrors-6/10

surprisingly above average horror flick...but just barely.

Xerzes 01-21-2009 07:22 PM

Die Hard - 9/10

Die Hard 2 - 6/10

Die Hard 3 - 8/10

G 01-21-2009 10:01 PM

thedamndest 01-21-2009 10:53 PM

How does the sunlight feel?

IC Champion 01-21-2009 11:04 PM

I havent seen any Die Hard films.

thedamndest 01-21-2009 11:15 PM

I really don't know how you live with yourself.

I live quite well, thank you.

You may think you do, but you really don't.

You think as a wrestling fan you would be a little more accepting of that.

Benjamin Button - 5/10

BigDaddyCool 01-23-2009 09:20 AM

Incredible Hulk (the Ed Norton one) - 8/10

Good, solid movie, probably about as good as the Hulk could ever been. Shit timing though coming out between Ironman and Dark Knight.

PorkSoda 01-23-2009 02:23 PM

Die Hard movies...I've only seen Live Free and With a Vengeance. :-\

The Number 23 - 5/10.

Not bad.

D Mac 01-23-2009 05:41 PM

I just rented Max Payne. Did I waste my money?

:yes:

PorkSoda 01-23-2009 07:17 PM

Yes you did. Max Payne did have a nice ending narration though....

Gran Torino - 10/10.

Clint Eastwood is badass. Seriously, this is the second movie I've seen him in, Million Dollar Baby is the first, and he played badass in both parts. Are all his movies like that?

"You step on my lawn again, I'll blow your face in then go inside and sleep like a baby." Thats one of the best lines I've ever heard. Badass.

One complaint I got is the ending. Spoilers = It pissed me off to the extreme that those gangsters didn't get their asses beat. It proves that if your in a gang your just a coward, your not really tough at all. And if I was Eastwood, I would NOT have gotten killed, I would have rose from the dead and kicked all their asses. Can't believe Clint Eastwood jobbed to those guys. Thats what he did. He laid down for them. But I am glad that he did kick that fat asians ass.

Boondock Saint 01-23-2009 08:41 PM

If those are the only Eastwood movies you have seen, you ain't seen nothing yet!

PorkSoda 01-24-2009 01:57 AM

Any recommendations?

I know about Dirty Harry and Good Bad/Ugly. Anything else?

IC Champion 01-24-2009 02:34 AM

Unforgiven is fucking bad ass. You got Clint, Morgan Freeman, and Gene Hackman. Won a bunch of Oscars.

thedamndest 01-24-2009 03:15 AM

My Bloody Valentine:3D

First Half -8/10

Second Half -2/10

The first half was awesome. There was the allure of the 3D, the crowd's reaction to ANYTHING popping out at them be regardless of the dimension was priceless, I had my popcorn, things were dying, everything was good.

The second half sucked. The story got boring. The killing stopped. The crowd got bored, so I got bored. The glasses started to hurt. I ran out of popcorn. The ending was what I predicted it would be...I did NOT recycle the glasses.

I saw it, and thought it was an awful movie, so you're not going to get any argument from me there. You're right about the acting and predictability for sure.
However, no excuse for the cinematography being so awful? I'm going to have to disagree on that. It was awful. No doubt. But it was shot for 3D. Cinematography was non existent. It was done in a way to place object in the forefront for 3D, and get things on the middle of the screen.

Pretty awful by normal standards, but you have to cut it a break on that account considering what it is. It's a gag.

They wouldn't be lighting things the way they did, or placing fences in the foreground and objects in front of the camera and what not if it weren't for 3D. Even the shots of the sets were done to add depth for 3D.

I dunno, it was a shit movie but if you're going to a 3D slasher movie expecting anything resembling cinematography I think that's pretty unfair and pointless.
It was bad cinematography by any sense of the word, but I think there was a clear excuse.

p.s. I do know that it's possible for a 3D film to be passable with cinematography too. I'm sure we'll see more in the future but those are more interactive with the film.
This is a classic throwback to the "poke you in the eye" 3D days. It's the gag, not an added bonus. So it's a different story than most things.
