Yeah, sgand's lack of rating nearly made my head split open right down the middle.

Saw IV & V - 7/10

Guess they were entertaining enough, much better films than the third installment. Not a lot of point scoring them seperately as they seem to have turned the franchise into a serial.

Leon 7/10

[Requiem]

Frost/Nixon - 9/10

Kinda dragged a little, but overall it was a very well done movie.

[Triple A]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - 5/10 - So disappointing. Great premise and really well directed and stuff, but the story was just fucking shitty. It was dull and boring and there was nothing original about it whatsoever under the aging gimmick. And the movie was like 3 god damn hours long and I just felt like I wanted it to end already.

Hannah Takes the Stairs - 7/10 - Another low budget, shot on video movie. Dialogue mostly improv. I <3 these kinds of movies.

[Gertner]

WALL-E 10/10. Probably the best PIXAR movie ever, maybe next to Monsters Inc.

[mitch_h]

Hannah Takes the Stairs - 7/10 - Another low budget, shot on video movie. Dialogue mostly improv. I <3 these kinds of movies.

Have you seen the Puffy Chair, if not I reccomend it. It's by the Duplass brothers( I think you posted one of their short films before) I also reccomend checking out some of Bujalski's other films... great "mumblecore"

[Triple A]

Yup. I have had The Puffy Chair on DVD since like last year but still haven't watched it for some reason. Baghead was amazing though if you haven't seen that yet.

And I just added a bunch of mumblecore movies earlier today to my Netflix queue. "Kissing on the Mouth", "Funny Ha Ha", "LOL", "Mutual Appreciation", "Dance Party, USA".

[mitch_h]

Just requested Baghead from the library :cool:

[El Fangel]

Tropic Thunder 2/10 - Christ, Ben Stiller and Jack Black need to never ever do a movie together again.

[CSL]

I'm not a huge Ben Stiller or Jack Black fan but that film is nowhere near that bad. I wasn't expecting it to be much good, but I was pleasantly suprised. Downey Jr. and Tom Cruise are great. I'd be more like a 7/7.5

[El Fangel]

I wanted to stab someone in the face, I hated it.

Meryl Streep is fucking amazing. She is her character, completely and totally. It's insane and amazing and subtle and fun to watch - as much if not more so than Ledger's Joker. Seymour Hoffman is great as well, and Roger Deakins' work as DP is just beautiful. Go see this movie.

Fight Club - 8/10

The Wrestler 9/10

Holy shit that was a good movie

Knocked Up - 7/10

Decent film, not Apatow's best. Enjoyed the exchanges between Rudd and Rogen's characters and the arguments between the couples were realistic.


Thank You for Smoking - 8/10

Enjoyed this. Great cast (Eckhart, William H Macy, J.K. Simmons, even Rob Lowe). Gotta love a bit of satire now and again.

[ClockShot]

Tropic Thunder - 2.5/5

I was about to turn this off 15 minutes in. Then Cruise and RDJ got rolling and I decided to keep going.

[PorkSoda]

The Unborn - 3/10.

Was in a theatre full of teenagers who wouldn't shut the fuck up throughout. And one smart ass guy who was arrogant as fuck and shouted comments throughout the whole thing. He wasnt funny. I don't know muay thai and I'm not Tony Jaa, so I can't go Protector on their asses, but if I could, I would.

The movie though.....eh...the trailer is scarier than the actual movie. I personally wanted to see more of the old guy crabwalking, he was my favorite. But overall, it wasnt THAT bad.

Major Spoiler = The girl is pregnant and shes gonna give birth to the boy who wants to be born. Basically, shes giving birth to her brother. My first thought was "She's fucked."

[D Mac]

Eagle Eye 8/10 Pretty cool

National Treasure 2 9/10


That shit was better than Indy.

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.

[wwe2222]

My Bloody Valentine - 1/10

Awful. I am pleased I did not pay for it.

: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.

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.

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.

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.

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]

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

[PorkSoda]

Any recommendations?

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

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

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.

[Champion of Europa]

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



:nono:

Benjamin Button - 5/10

I don't watch wrestling anymore, sir.

[Jeritron]

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

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.

[Jeritron]

With that being said I'd give it a 3/10. That's generous.
As far as entertainment value I'd actually give it a 5.5/10, because the 3D was a gas and the ability to laugh at the terribleness of the movie was a good time with friends. Gets a point for Tom Atkins too.
But yes, it was a stinker.

[Gonzo]

Jumper 5/10 — Mildly entertaining I suppose. Decent enough concept. Cookie cutter plot though.

Max Payne 6/10 Hardly any action until the end.

[Gonzo]

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry 8/10 — Honestly didn't expect much, can't get into Sandler comedies past the first couple of his career but this had some lol moments.

[Jeritron]

It had Jessica Biel's kaboose featured prominently, which bumps it up at least 5 stars instantly

[El Fangel]

Gran Torino 9.5/10

Only problem: (spoilers) He should have drove the Gran Torino to the showdown. Not once in the movie do you see him drive it. So it would be badass to have seen him in it on his way there.

Fear 6/10 — A movie with Markie Mark, Gil from CSI, the blonde from Legally Blonde (can't remember her name for fucks sake). Not a bad thriller. Kind of predictable, cookie cutter storyline but it was mildly entertaining to have on in the background.

Tropic Thunder 8/10

Saw V: 4/10


Not a goddamn thing happened in this movie except for flashbacks and some people died. I mean, I know most folks don't like Saw already, but I keep watching for the wacky plots and ridiculous, half nonsensical twists. This didn't even have that much. The big twist was that there wasn't any twist. It might as well have been Hostel.

I gave it a 5 probably cause I watched it at 3 different times, and I was kind of out of it (Very tired) all three times. I'll watch it again and rerate it.

But if I remember correctly, it was awesome, its a 5 out of 10....I really enjoyed it, except the fact that the ending confused me. Clive Owen, what exactly did he do? Did he steal a bunch of diamonds and just leave? I'ma go and watch it again and rerate.

I Heart Huckabees
Three Kings
Four Brothers
We Own The Night
The Departed
Boogie Nights

Mark Wahlberg is a fucking terrible actor. Instant Classic calling him one dimensional was being kind

Fat Albert 3/10.

Transporter 2 - 6/10

[Dorkchop]

The Wrestler 9/10

I loved the movie, but I'm still undecided whether I liked the movie enough to give a 9.5 so I'll just give it a 9 and call it a day.

[BigDaddyCool]

Hancock - 7.5 of 10 Better than I thought it was going to be.

Really? I thought this was terrible.

The Deer Hunter 8/10

It was long, but not Peter Jackson "Let's Stare at this Ring and Walk around a Mountain B-Roll for Three Hours" long.

Yeah, that was my major beef with the film.

[thedamndest]

Pan's Labyrinth 8/10

I was expecting something much different than what it turned out to be. Not sure that I would have applauded for 22 minutes at Cannes or wherever that occurred, but it was pretty good and I'm not French.

Beer For My Horses: 7/10 Mainly because of Rodney Carrington

[LaLa]

Troy 5/10

Hated the changes they made.

[Boondock Saint]

Pineapple Express 3/5

[Requiem]

Taken 10/10

Badass movie. Seriously. Once it got going, it kept going. No bullshit, just straightforward action with a good story. No cheesy ending either.

[Fox]

Zack and Miri Make a Porno: 6.5/10

Good but not great. Didn't care much for how the comedy fell off during the end of it.

[CSL]

Transsiberia 7.5/10

Solid film, nothing spectacular (except Kate Mara)

[Boondock Saint]

Appaloosa 3/5

[D Mac]

Casualties of War 9/10

[Gonzo]

Death Race 3/10 — Eh, the only points it gets is for the cars with guns a la Twisted Metal but even then, just your typical Statham movie.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - 7/10

You have horrible taste in life.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - 7/10

Really? I loved this movie. Like, everything about it.

[thedamndest]

You know what? I missed the first 20 minutes and then about 10 minutes somewhere in the middle. I could have rewound, but it was kind of late so I just plowed through. I really dropped the ball here.

[Requiem]

The cinematography was amazing, and Casey Affleck was brilliant. Pitt was pretty comfortable in his role as James, but he was definitely outshined by Affleck in this one. I thought it was a really gritty, somewhat brutal representation of things that went on back there. They did a good job, I thought, of showing just how ruthless he was, while still remaining very human and likeable.

My only complaint was that it was so long, but I am ok with long movies as long as they are good.

Pretty much everyone I know refuses to even give it a shot, because they know that Affleck's character will kill James and they hate the fact that a 'pussy is gonna kill a badass'. But then, most of them have horrible taste in movies majority of the time, so I don't expect them to enjoy it anyways.

[thedamndest]

I think my favorite bit of the film involves James' body, when they are taking pictures of it and then turning it into a spectacle. The whole shot of people watching while the narrator talks about how much money was offered for the corpse while Ford went on to "assassinate James over 800 times" was a brilliant role reversal. I think that worked so well because most of what Jesse did in the movie wasn't shown, so he isn't "that bad." Unless I missed that part at the beginning.

[D Mac]

You have horrible taste in life.

Rodney is fucking hilarious asshole. :foc:

[Champion of Europa]

Rodney is fucking hilarious asshole. :foc:

It's more the fact that you rated Beer For My Horses 7/10 and went on to defend Death Race.

It was a twofer.

[D Mac]

Death Race is action. I like action.

[Boondock Saint]

Death Race was quite enjoyable

[ClockShot]

Taken - 3.5/5

Pretty good movie. But I felt that there were some loose ends that should have been tied up.

That and the trailer for Cena's movie made me kinda depressed.

[Ben Kenobi]

RocknRolla - 7/10

Guy Ritchie delivers a enjoyable movie, not as good as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch though.

[Gonzo]

Death Race is action. I like action.

I knew as I was rating that movie in this thread that you would be a fan. I guess shitty movies got to have their fans too. :D

[PorkSoda]

Death Race is just an action movie. If you want to see some cool explosions, car crashes, and racing, watch it. If you're expecting anything more than that, then forget it about. Like Ian Mcshane says in the movie "Fast cars, pretty women, its all about the ratings."

Natalie Martinez in that movie was :drool:

[PorkSoda]

Wanted 6/10.

Better than I expected, but was kind of expecting more. Thought there should have been more ridiculous action scenes like the one in the beginning. I'm not a fan of Angelina Jolie, but I thought she did good in this.

Last line in the movie is inspirational.

[DaveWadding]

The only thing that was watchable was Elisha Cuthbert's rack.

Seriously, avoid this movie like the plague.

Def. agree about the prestige. Great flick. One of my friends didn't like it at all, and his excuse was that he couldn't follow what was going on.

I :lol:ed and then proceeded to talk about how awesome it was with another friend who loved it.

[thedamndest]

Req, is this one of the guys who won't give Jesse James a shot because he knows the ending?


Ben Hur-8.5/10 - So long. Great movie, but dated. What I mean by that is that every generation has some image of what they think the Roman empire should look and sound like. Imparting the 1959 look and dialogue to it is something to get over at first, but the story and the characters hold up. But as good as this was, If I'm going to watch a "classic," I'd rather watch something that was filmed in the time rather than a historical work.

[Kalyx triaD]

Alien vs Predator: Requiem - 5/10

Just a series of bloody scenes with very little attempt at telling a story. Also found certain choices of victims distasteful (kids, pregnant women? c'mon...). Some cool visuals (Predator home planet!) and one interesting poke at mythology (Ms. Yutani, huh?), but ultimately a badly shot wasted effort. Still waiting on a decent AvP movie, I guess.

Trivia: The subtitle, "Requiem", refers to the title track in the score that merges the two movie icon's scores. In that sense it also refers to the Predalien (which looked great).

[Requiem]

Yes, actually. One of the friends I was referencing, in fact. He has 'some' good taste in movies, but generally we have pretty different tastes. He has a ridiculously short attention span when it comes to movies.. refuses to watch There Will Be Blood because he thinks it looks boring.. didn't like No Country for Old Men.

[Triple Naitch]

The Foot Fist Way 8/10

Very similar to Napoleon Dynamite in terms of cinematography, but had some really funny and awkward moments.

[Ben Kenobi]

Thanks for the heads up mate :y:

No problem sir!



Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder - 8/10

Good ol' Futurama, it never disappoints me.

Ratatouille 7/10 - Alright.. could have been better, but I enjoyed watching it.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 10/10 - Never saw this until earlier today, and loved it.
