Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters
Hilarious! Way better than The Simpsons or South Park movies. Grindhouse Enjoyed Death Proof a lot more this time round. I think I prefer the theatrical cut over the extended version because it flows a lot better. The dialoge of the second half was always way to tedious for me so I dug a few scenes being trimmed. |

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I just got back from seeing the movie and it was alright for a night out. I haven't seen an Indy flick in so damn long. I grew up with them just like all of you but I haven't actually sat and watched one in about six years so I went in not that pumped up about it and to me it was just another action adventure flick. It didn't feel like Indy to me. I dunno if it's because I didn't go in excited or I haven't watched them in awhile or it just wasn't that great. 5/10 |
Where the Buffalo Roam
I finally got my hands on a copy of this, after years of searching. I wasn't dissapointed either, Bill Murray was exellent as Dr Gonzo, and it just cracked me up. 7/10 Ed Wood What can I say, I only watched it because it is as good as it is. 8/10 |
We had a marathon of Batman movies because my wife insisted on seeing em. Considering it was my 4th-5th watch of all movies, here we go...
Batman. THE best and solid movie adaptation yet. Jack is PERFECT as The Joker, and commands the movie from start to finish. Keaton is almost as good as Bruce, but he is so totally out-classed and out-leagued. Basinger is pure eye-candy, and the rest of the cast (Michael Gough, Billy Dee Williams and Jack Palance) are competent. Burton's second finest on-screen effort, after Edward Scissorhands, IMO. Rating - * * * * Batman Returns. Excellent sequel to an awesome original. I REALLY liked how Pfeiffer performs so smoothly through all the scenes she is in, and Keaton and De Vito basically revolve around her. That being said, De Vito looks more comical than villainous as The Penguin, (I thought Burgess Meredith looked more scary in Batman: The Movie 30 years back) but full marks to him for trying. Christopher Walken is AWESOME. Max Shreck was such a deep, shady character that you cannot stop loving him in a hateful way. Rating - * * * ½ Batman Forever. A largely under-performing effort. Not mindblowing by any means, and on a much lesser pedestal than the previous two...it had a basic flaw. The characterisation. This movie is a perfect example of how flawed characterisation cant save big and talented names from scoring with their performances. In Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey, one had THE perfect duo of evil EVER. Carrey's comical timing and annoying overacting was more than sufficient for The Riddler, but Jones looked totally out of place. Same goes for Val Kilmer. The dude never looked more DEAD and ill at ease in any other movie than here. Kidman had nothing to do except look glamourous, one thing which she always manages to pull off effortlessly. Saving graces - Robin's origin, and Chris O'Donnell's immature standoffishness in his performance, coupled with some more than decent moments at gags and CGI efforts. Rating - * * ½ Batman and Robin. First big question - Schwarzenegger as Dr Freeze?! I mean, WTF was Schumacher and his casting team thinking? Dr Freeze was a scientist, not Hercules. Schwarzenegger was so TOTALLY out of place in his character. Second big question - What was the script writer smoking when he wrote the script?! That has to be the biggest mess in the history of comic-movies. Add to it George Clooney as Bruce was NOWHERE. Ab-so-lute-ly NOWHERE. (At least Val had some sort of decency in his outing as Bruce in the earlier movie) And add to it all, as if we didnt have enough annoying immaturity in Chris O'Donnell, Alicia Silverstone gets thrown into the mix with her silly bratish-ness. The only saving grace of the entire movie - Uma Thurman's competent take on Poison Ivy. And I still mean "competent take". Cant believe both of the above largely disappointing efforts were made by the same man who gave us the brilliant The Lost Boys. I really hope you grew up after these pathetic jabs at cinema and comic fans, Mr Schumacher. Rating - * * Later tonight - Batman Begins. |
The Shining.
been mantioned so much around here lately - it made me want to see it again. (it's been many years since the last time) still holds up as well as if it was made yesterday. took me a couple of times to get through it though ..because i was so bloody tired by the time i was able to get to watch a movie |
Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull

Superman: The Movie ...which I think still holds up very nicely. Haven't seen it in years, either, and it's nice to revisit.
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull...just got back from that. I wasn't expecting it to be very good, so I got what I could out of it. Not a very good movie. It had a few moments of fun. And actually, it is inspiring to see Harrison Ford and Karen Allen in an action flick, considering that neither of them were exactly spring chickens when the FIRST movie was made. Indiana Jones in the world of digital compositing and CG...well, that last movie (the third) featured some cutting-edge morphing/digital stuff, but it was only dipping its toes in the water. Interesting, at least, to now see Indiana Jones' look adapted to a much-developed medium. |
Just a question about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...didn't really seem to warrant a new thread, so I'm posting it here.
Lets say I've only seen Raiders of the Lost Ark - will I still be able to enjoy this one? Like, does it stand up on its own or would I have had to see the whole series to really get it? My girlfriend wants to go, so I'll probably be seeing it tomorrow night...but she really wants to see Iron Man too, so I'm trying to sway her in that direction - I'd LOVE to watch that one again on the big screen. I do kind of want to see Crystal Skull, but I'd rather get caught up on the series first...even if it does stand on my own, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I had seen the rest of 'em. |

The Mist
One of the better monster movies I have seen in the last two years. Unfortunatley I gussed the ending, it's a bad habbit. 7/10 |
Opera. Good stuff, and some really nice kill sequences.
|
Outpost
total rubbish, I couldn't find any reason to care about what was going on or the characters. Nothing really happens until the last 15 minutes, and then still that's not worth it. Don't bother with this pile of crap. 1/10 |
Phantasm
The Tall man isn't really that tall. IT's a good story though, I think I need to watch more 70's horror this week. 7/10 |

The Last Winter
This is from the same guy who did Wendigo.......and much like that one...he has some nice ideas....but his execution falls short...usually around the end of the movie. |
Iron Man - It was entertaining. The special effects are good- the suit is awesome. Downey was a good choice for the role of Stark (believe it or not), and Bridges was a surprise (pleasant).

Class of 1984
Cool fucking movie! Tim Van Patten + Perry King are incredible, but Roddy McDowell steals the show in every scene he's in. Loved it. |

Day of the Dead (2008)
If you can put aside the title then you can enjoy this. It's a basic zombie movie without much plot, just a bit of zombie fun. Oh, and Mena Suvari is damn hot! 6/10 |

I watched "Rush Hour 3" last night, we bought it on dvd for $10...I'd heard from a friend he didn't really like it, but while not as good as the other two IMHO, I thought it was alright. Too much stupid old stereotype though... Some good action scenes, and a few laughs...at $10, moneys worth. |

The Marsh- pretty good

Fourth or fifth time for me. Truly believe this was one of last year's very best pictures. |

Retarded on so many levels. I think the only people who can really appreciate this piece of poop would be young HUGE "Karate Kid" fans and Chuck Norris. |
