It's a mad mad mad mad world

It wasn't as great as I expected it to be. I have seen some movies that have followed the same plot back in the 80's and 90's that I remembered likeing, but this one dragged on a bit. Even though it's probably the origanal.

6/10


Casshern

This movie pissed me off. It was slow at first then I thought it was about to become a good story only to be annoying instead. The music was crap, to many slow motion pieces, ahite acting and bad story telling. Visually it was pretty cool. So maybe you should just get oned and watch it while you listen to an album. But I don't recomend this movie at all.

3/10

Yeah, well... Robert Rodriguez directed Sin City first. :p


True, but he's obviously reusing cinematic and directorial styles and tactics laid out Rodriguez's film. Regardless of comic author, the influence of Sin City the film is obvious.

That movie was a HUGE disappointment. It could and SHOULD have been good. I agree with you on all points there. Gorgeous, TONS of potential, but overdone.

Watched Anaconda this afternoon just for fun.

I had forgotten what a ridiculous movie this is... Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz (?!) and Ice Cube - What a completely random motley crew of actors.

I ALSO had forgotten how incredibly WRONG and OFFENSIVE Jon Voight's portrayal of Latino Paul Sarone was - I have a hard time thinking that in 1997 he and the director got away with that. Sure, Scarface did it, but that was in 1983, significantly well-before sensitive movie censors.

It's a silly animal attack flick with particularly bad CGI. While these movies are dear to my heart (I LOVE Deep Blue Sea), I think that Anaconda might just be beyond my camp-movie loving.

1.5/5

Right now I'm watching Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Second time I've seen this movie. Painful at times, but overall hilarious. I think my favorite part would definitely be the Rodeo in Salem Civic Center, Salem, VA. Our Southerners are definitely creepy. My only problem with this movie is that I LOVE the candid stuff and I think the staged stuff is not that amusing. I wish that there had been more candid material and less staged material.

3.5/5

Boxcar Bertha (1972) - 8.5/10.

Great Scorsese flick.

The Sentinel
absurdly cliche, but entertaining.

Dude, really? I hate that film- actually, I saw a documentary where Scorsese practically disowned it.

I mean, everything else that man touches turns to gold, but...

Ghost Town---average comedy that I would have given maybe a 6/10...but I really like Ricky Gervais's type of humor....so...7.5/10

Righteous Kill--you would think that pairing De Niro & Pacino together would result in a sure fire winner......you would be wrong. What a fucking disappointing mess. 2/10

Office Space

Exorcist 3

"Little shop of horrors" 1986 7/10


Steve Martin definitely should've had a much, much bigger part in this movie. All the dentist scenes are the highlights of this movie. Damn, that man was funny back then..


Say, it's from 1986. Isn't it time for a remake, hmm? :rolleyes:

Smells like something Burton could get into with success.

It was itself a remake of a 60s Roger Corman flick starring Jack Nicholson. Pretty good movie, and Rick did a great job with a wonderful all-star supporting cast.

If they make another one, it ll be the remake of a remake.

Both yes and no.

The Original wasn't a musical.

"Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon"

Hysterically funny mid '80's martial arts/blaxploitation action film. Bad music and terrible fight scenes. The best thing about was the late Julius Carrey as the villain "Sho-Nuff"


"Master Of The Flying Guillotine"

One of the great Martial arts movie.

Eagle Eye- 6.5/10

Not bad. Good action for what it was.

Poltergeist was on TCM the other night, so I watched it. Still one of the best from the 70s. Some of the humor seemed out of place to me, this time, however.

Watching 2001:A Space Odyssey.Oh yeah.For the first time.:D

Really? I had no idea Scorsese didn't like the flick. Personally I enjoyed it a lot.

Well it's no crime- I was just surprised!
I assume you're working your way through that MGM set- have you watched The Last Waltz yet? Awesome flick. And I assume you've already seen Raging Bull?

I suppose they both need to cut their nails :P.

Big Daddy

Surprisingly charming and absolutely adorable. The kid was absolutely awwwwww-worthy and I don't care what you say about Sandler; he can be charming when he wants to be. More cutsie than your typical Sandler comedy. I thoroughly enjoyed it - Good sweet Sunday afternoon flick.

3.5/5

Unrest

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../adunrestb.jpg

Fantastic little low-budget indie ghost flick. One of the 2006 After Dark Horrorfest bunch, this film had some decent little scares and created a believable atmosphere. It's on Comcast On Demand this month - It's a decent flick if you're looking for a simple horror movie to keep you occupied.

Actually - Come to think of it, I'm pretty impressed with 2006's Horrorfest as a whole. Not perfect movies, but definitely, at a minimum, good.

3/5

- Norbit ... terrible movie but my kid laughed his ass off - which made me laugh in turn

- Streets of Fire ... old favorite of mine - finally revisited in hi-def .. looked great.

- finished season 3 of Battlestar Galactica

Big Fish (2003)

Beautiful story.

>>: B+

Alice, Sweet Alice

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...SweetAlice.jpg

Fantastic little Hitchcockian suspense movie. Obviously takes its influences from Black Christmas, Hitchcock, and Giallo cinema. Also, surprisingly, must have had MAJOR influence on Halloween - The score sounds SHOCKINGLY familiar.

I'm a HUGE fan of evil children flicks - Alice, Sweet Alice reminded me a LOT of The Bad Seed. I thought that the beginning of the movie was BRILLIANT, though it lost me a bit after the "twist" (I didn't really buy it).

Regardless, this is a fantastic film overall.

3.5/5

Pineapple Express

Cheech & Chong it aint....but not bad....I laughed a couple of times

I'm probably going to watch The Last Waltz later on today. Yeah, I've seen Raging Bull many times, my second favourite Scorsese flick next to Taxi Driver.

"The X-Files: I Want To Believe"-decent film version of the TV series. Nothing great, but fun.

"Pirates Of The Carribean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl"- First and best film in the adventure trilogy

Hells Ground
first Pakistani horror flick ive ever heard of/seen. boy did it suck. shamelessly ripped off TCM in almost every aspect. claimed to be a splatter flick, yet would disappoint any gorehound.

wanted. I really liked it. not too deep , but damn good creative action. interesting twist. Angelina Jolie's naked ass. A fat boss being told to go fuck herself.

Overall a very satisfying movie. nice hall of mirrors style action scene too

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Well, it didn't really blow my mind or anything, but it was definitely a great movie. Pitt gives his best performance since 12 Monkeys, and the makeup is astounding. It's a bit longer than it needs to be, and the modern day scenes are annoyingly useless, but otherwise it's a wonderful film.

A Prayer For The Dying.


Awesome 80s actioner with a great performance from Mickey Rourke. Some pretty nifty atmospheric sequences which are complimented by some killer background music by Bill Conti.

The supporting cast could have done better though - a very young Liam Neeson, Bob Hoskins, Alan Bates, all were average. But still, a thoroughly enjoyable flick.


Rating - * * * ½

Mickey Rourke didn't dig it he tried to have his name taken off the film completely.

it put him in therapy actually...




my last seen : The Signal .... great movie

The Italian Job (1969)

EAGLE EYE

I prefer my mindless action flics to have a sense of humor...i.e. Shoot-Em-Up, Crank, Die Hards.....this one took itself too seriously with characters that I just didn't give two shits about.

Although I have nothing personally against him and tend to enjoy his performance in most of his movies, there is a name that pretty much garuntees the movie will be a mindless turd:
Shya Lebouef

I dont see the reason why. Its a pretty decent flick.

I'm gonna go with "because he was full of himself", I like the guy but seriously?

Just watched "you don't mess with the zohan". A few chuckles, overall an ok "whacky" kind've comedy but not something I'd purchase personally. While there were laughs there, I felt it relied a bit too much on visual comedy...the dialogue, could've been funnier.
Not Sandlers best, not his worst.
Hire if you're a fan.

He seems very competent and intelligent but he just lacks the charisma to carry a movie by himself without things like giant robots or the incomparable Harrison Ford to offset his performance.


Walk Like a Man

Yes, the old 80's flick with Howie Mandell.

Yea. He needs a bad ass stach.


hehe

I meant a bad-ass stach, not a bad ASS stach. :D

"No retreat, no surrender" 5/10


Damn. On how many levels do this movie suck?

The story is down right laughable.

The acting is so bad it's almost unwatchable at times.

The dialogue are as retarded as the characters. So that fits well together.

The audio track/editing is probably the worst i've ever heard. In the beginning of the movie when jason's dad gets his knee broken, you hear jason yelling "Dad!!!" and right after that his "Dad!!!" gets repeated one more time. That's one helluva screw up right there. But then there's all the normal scenes. Much of the time when people starts talking you can hear the sound of cars driving in the background. No matter if the conversation takes place at home or at the disco.

I'm sure there was other shitty things about it that i've just forgot now.



So why would you watch this piece of shit flick?

Because Van Damme gets his 15 minutes of fame and he kicks ass in all of them..
