Haunting in Connecticut - Generic horror film #12421. Every single part of this film has been done before but I guess it was at least competently made.

Big Stan - Rob Schneider is facing 3-5 years in prison so with the help of David Carradine he endeavours to make himself unrapeable. It's a stupid but more-or-less enjoyable film.

The Unborn - Some woman's unborn twin tries to kill her or something. It's just as shit as it sounds. Turned off long before the end.

Up- Do I even need to say anything about this one. It's Pixar! Of course it's excellent! It's kinda like a child-friendly Gran Turino.

The Hangover- Very Funny. I must say that Galifianakis steals the show. Ed Helms does have some great lines too. It's plot is ultimately irrelevant (Helms character figures it out House-style to finish it off) but it was always meant to be an excuse to get the guys into wild situations and it works.

Land Of The Lost- I don't know why so many people were against this one. I saw the entire original series on Sci-Fi the week before it's release and was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was. Seeing the movie, it did a great job using the series elements to craft it's own story. Ferrell and Bride are their usual funny selves, Friel works well as the straight woman to keep the story on check, and Taccone managed to keep the charm of the original Chaka. Make no mistake, this movie is a cheesy tribute to the original series, while remaining a fun adventure film on it's own. Check it out if you haven't seen the previous 2 films I mentioned (I think we all know better than to watch Transformers 2).

X Files: I want to believe - nothing special about this movie. not bad but not worth recommending

Transformers was baaaaaaaaad bad bad bad.

Jetfire was the best.

"You know what my great-great-grandfather was? The WHEEL. THE FIRST ONE. You know what he transformed into? NOTHING. BUT HE WAS PROUD OF IT." :lol

Lolz were had in our section, but nobody else got the blatant joke. :/

Oh yeah, just awful. I'd read a comment on IMDb before watching it, and it said that it was essentially just a shitty pastiche of horror movie cliches all thrown into one terrible movie.

That's the movie in a nutshell. It's a pretty shitty mix of The Exorcist and every other horrible newer horror movie in recent memory.

Transformers - original animated film.

I don't think people hate it so much as it was underrated from theater competition.

I just saw Up. It was hilarious! The pre-movie short was pretty strange though...

I'm thinking of going to a drive-in tomorrow. Think they're open on the 4th? Their website doesn't say they aren't.

It's a double feature....Public Enemies (partially filmed in a town where I used to live, so I'm curious) and The Hangover.

I haven't been to a drive-in movie since Jurassic Park (and I fell asleep then).

update- Public Enemies was interesting from the "omg I recognize that place, I went to a party in that room, people I used to babysit own that building" etc, but the movie in general was sort of disjointed and halfassed. It just didn't feel like a good movie, despite all the big names. And I have no idea why they needed Christian Bale as Purvis.

Transformers 2

Had some nice action, some robots/humans were annoying, the human parts of the movie were boring. It was ok.

I didn't have any problems with the transformers, they looked cool. But then again I didn't grew up with them so I have no reason to whine whether they look original or not.

Gran Torino - This was fucking great. I tried explaining to this girl that guys who are good friends talk the most shit about each other. This movie proved the point.

public enemies average not so great too much talk. bullet holes look awesome though

Transformers 2. It's hella over-long.

Gran Torino again. I might watch "The Wackness" tonight

tonight I'm planning on watching "Triumph of the Will" It looks cool, Hitler hired a director, in 1934(maybe 35?) to make this, so I'm guessing it will be packed with propaganda. It's all german, with english subs.

Oh, isn't that the female director who just died?

haunting in conneticut...or however the hell you spell it

midnight meat train. brutal to the max, i loved the decapitation

Just watched Knowing. What a fucking gay ass ending.

I didn't like Midnight Meat Train at all, I thought it was silly.

Weird thing was I saw it on cable months before it came out on DVD, I wonder if it was some special promo thing with our horror channel or something.

is on dvd... i must get it

Hulk vs Wolverine and the Doctor Strange animated movie

both very good

Drive in double feature:

Public enemies - waste of time.

The Hangover - Really funny

they have drive in movies upstate? you lucky bastard

Really? Public Enemies wasn't very good?

I went to the same double feature and no, Public Enemies was not very good :( I edited my post to add that it wasn't, because if I post twice Pub comes out of nowhere and starts PMing me about how much I suck for doing it.

yeah, I really didn't like the ending at all. It didn't really flow together as a movie.

volcano high damn i love me silly japanesse movies

"I've got to return some video tapes"

Korean.

I say that a lot before murdering, myself.

Jarhead. It was much better than I thought it would be.

the first trailer i saw for the movie had a wu tang clan translation my dvd dosen't :(

Schindler's List - There isn't really anything to say about this film which hasn't been said already. Great stuff! Depressing, but not half as depressing as reading the IMDB comments afterwards.

The Last Mistress. French Asia Argento drinking blood from flintlock pistol wounds for sexual excitement!

The Wackness - Takes place in NYC 1994. About a drug dealer who likes this girl, sells to her and her step-father(Ben Kingsley) who is a psychiatrist. The dealer ends up befriending the step-father as his own family life crumbles around him.

I was looking forward to seeing this for a while and recommend it. Thought it was just going to be a comedy and it ended up being a pretty great piece of drama instead.

just watched C.H.U.D. a couple of days, ago. Never fails to amuse me.

Have you seen "You Kill Me", with Ben Kingsley? It was surprisingly funny.

No, I really want to though because it's about the Buffalo P-Mob fighting the Buffalo Irish mob. We never get movies about us let alone one with Sir Ben Kingsley. I might have to get that this week.

I hadn't known Ben Kingsley was so good at comedy.

Death Race ('08) - Better than expected.

Sweet home, an old horror japanesse movie i even found a review that features an i-mockery reference
http://www.codiekitty.com/File/SuitoHomu/Ch01/index.htm

I PLAYED THE GAME OF THAT MOVIE. :(

i think the game and movie came out around the same time actually, and i don't remember which is based on which :/ LOGIC would dictate it's the game that's based on the movie, but we're talking about the japanese here

EDIT: whoa sams post changed :eek

Maybe a ghost from that movie changed it :eek

I just read that the game was licensed from the movie and they both came out at the SAME TIME :eek

:eek

GHOSTS :eek :eek :Eek

WILLIE WHAT IS WITH THESE GHOSTS :eek

I BET WE READ THAT ON THE SAME PLACE :eek :rolleyes :eek

ARE YOU THINKIN WHAT IM THINKIN :eek

I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE SOMEBODY IS WATCHIN ME :eek

that is probably not what you were thinking I'm sorry Willie :tear

haha i was thinkin of going back and deleting everything up to and including my first post on page 42 there but THATS PROBABLY CHEATING

Hellraiser III. It never fails to dissapoint me. You have to love the bull shit cenobites in this one. Who can pass up those one liners dropped by that asshole with a camera for half a face.



READY FOR YOUR CLOSE UP JOEY!


That's a wrap.

The Forgotten with Julianne Moore. I picked it up a few years ago but never got around to watching it. Wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

The Forgotten wasn't terrible, even anything it was interesting.

There was an alternate ending but my remote is busted so I don't know what it is.

Land of the Lost(2009) - The previews looked really bad but I actually thought it was amazing. Especially the end credits sequence.

Then watched:

Death becomes her
R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet 1-22
300
One Hour Photo

Did you feel like you had smoked some crack and forgotten about it?

A little bit. I've watched it before but my friends haven't seen it yet. They REALLY REALLY didn't want to but by the end of chapter 4 they were hooked. There were even more people who came into the room, were like "WTF, why are you watching this?" and then became hooked too in a matter of minutes.

I read somewhere they use it as a form of torture in China. :\

Only at BDSM clubs..... sorry, that's kind of a bad joke. If you never seen it before I definitely reccomend it because it's so outrageous.

I watched Trapped in the Closet and I was hypnotized and couldn't stop watching it because it is so silly. :(

Last Film(s) You Watched
 

Last movies i saw is ,

1. Terminator Salvation.
Guys, I must say that its really amazing movie.
I loved the action in it.

2. Night at Museum2
Well this movie has come with the expectations.
As the first was superb the second part has lived
up the expectations.

I am Looking for some more great releases.

The Hangover - This film was somewhere between "not bad" and "OK". I enjoyed it for the most part and would probably watch it again one day, but I'm not sure what all the fuss was about.

Indiana Jones and the whatever of the crystal skull - Urgh what a load of shit. So stupid. There were some okay action sequences but they were ruined slightly by everything else about the film being lame/gay.

:lol

pretty sure that dude's a spambot but since he's not doing any overt spammery i guess he can stick around and entertain us with his hilarious understanding of english

striptease- is silly but i like how demi moore shakes it per say and i got the unrated dvd for 5 bucks

resident evil degeneration- the best resident evil movie no doubt and it came with a coupon for the cellphone game

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: sister wanted to rewatch it to re jog the memory before seeing the new one

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: The movies have consistently improved with each movie(aside from the third movie) and this one turns out to be a pretty good movie even if you are not into harry potter. I really liked the director for this film and besides one unbearable scene involving hermoine crying, the movie is pretty free of the terrible child acting that have plagued the previous films. The actor who played Ron did a very good job this film and was very comical specifically while under the influence of a love potion in one scene.

Ernest goes to Africa

I just watched Minority Report for like the 3rd time and man I gotta tell ya that female psychic chick (whose name in the film is agatha) looks really hot with her head shaved, and in the end of the movie when her hair has grown back (turns out she's blonde).

Two Mules for Sister Sarah. It gave me a boner.

Wow! TWO mules huh. I dont think they do that even in Mexico. :hypno

I watched half of the remake of Amityville Horror.

No sir, didn't like it.

I liked the remake but maybe because Ryan Reynolds was in it.

I do like Ryan Reynolds, but he's better in comedies.

i watched this movie called slipstream with mark hamil and bill paxton a few weeks ago. MMARK HAMIL AND BILL PAXTON.

really good movie :O Halfway through the movie i was like, "man this totally reminds me of this thing!" and then one of the characters mentioned that thing :O It was great. ALL KINDS OF SYNCHRONICITIES TOO LIKE I WAS TALKING SOMETHING ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON AND DANCING AND HATS FOR NO REAL REASON AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY STARTED DOING MICHAEL JACKSON DANCES.
ALSO MICHAEL JACKSON DIED AFTERWARDS! OR MAYBE IT WAS BEFORE I CANT REMEMBER :(

Yeah, I just love every movie that van wilder fuck is in.

I just saw that one Harry Potter movie, something like Harry Potter goes to Arizona or some shit like that.

Swing Kids. Robert Sean Leonard looked exactly like Jim Carrey to me.

I could tell Christian Bale right away due to the glittery aura of prickness around him, even if he looked a little different.

I hadn't seen this movie in about 15 years, so it was interesting to see it again.

I watched Dark Knight. Feels really overrated now.

Most of the recent movies I've seen are for the younger set, 'cept for the latest:

Star Trek (XXXIV) When Jimmy met Spock - actually I thought this was a great comeback to a stagnant franchise. After the abortion that was Nemesis, I was expecting to be underwhelmed. In fact, it beat all my low expectations to a pulp, then flushed them down the toilet. It was spectacular.

Unfortunately, the previews included the Travolta/Washington debacle "The Taking of Pelham 456". My son really wants to see this movie, and I'm doing everything in my power to prevent it. I think the next film we'll be taking in will be the new Harry Potter movie, which I admit looking forward to, a little guiltily.

I actually liked the new Star Trek a lot as well. I'm going to see the new Harry Potter movie in IMAX 3D in a few days. I haven't read the books but I'll watch anything with Brendan Gleeson, Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman in it. Separately the 3 of them are amazing but together....well...it's 3 times as good.

I'm still wanting to see the new Star Trek film. To be honest, I've never seen anything about Star Trek before. No TV shows, no movies, nuttin.


The Film I saw last was Son of Rambow. Got it and JCVD on DVD for cheap.

I liked it, very nice and heart warming. Story about childhood friendship and imagination. Somehow a young boy going from drawing lions and cows in his art book to guns, tanks and killing is seen as charming. Still, I liked.

While I'm at it JCVD is great, although I might have already said so in this thread.

what exactly is jcvd

a movie about jcvd

I guess I'm always asking questions here without bothering to google, so I'll bite:

It's Jean-Claude Van Damme.

It's a movie starring him, as him. Interesting story, and there is a real heart lifing moment at the end. There's also a part where he breaks the fouth wall and takes some time out to speak to the audience and have a bit of a cry. He's a really good actor.

I read a bit about the JCVD movie and it sounds nuts...in a good way.

What did he cry about? Playing that gay guy in that one movie?

Well I actually saw it when it came out, and just bought it on DVD recently, so I can't remember it all, BUT, I am pretty sure it was about the pressures of his life, and how he wanted to be something other than just a B grade action star.

Riki-oh

RAN - Japanese Movie.
Stone Cold(with Bryan Bosworth) - horrible movie
Harry Potter and the half-blood prince - Theater movie
Kentucky Fried Movie - Movie movie

terminator salvation i loved the arnie cameo especially the last part

ran's yet another kurosawa movie i think :O

Training Day, but it was a shitty TV version that cut out the end.

And re-watched The Edge last night. You could easily make a drinking game out of Anthony Hopkins' "yeah"s.

Terminator Salvation was a lot of fun, even though most of that fun was generated by my friend and I picking it to pieces.

Last night I received free tickets to see Public Enemies. It was good enough, but exactly as I suspected. I guess you can't expect a lot of storyline to a gangster movie. Acting was top notch by everyone. Car chases and gun fights were exciting. Love story was boring and unrealistic.

Bedtime Stories- Good, fairly entertaining if a few plotholes, and it was a nice change to not have a sudden downer where they try to "teach" you something. Adam Sandler is Adam Sandler is Adam Sandler. The movie was basically Billy Madison + Uncle Buck.

Phoebe in Wonderland- Life of a girl with a very OCD-ish version of Tourette's, immersed in fantasyland because she lives in a Connecticut-ish place where everyone's got a stick up their ass. She's some sibling of Dakota Fanning's, but I like her better than Dakota Fanning. Movie was great up until they did a "let's show them we can sing too" thing with a slightly out of place musical number.

Anything + Uncle Buck has to be at least pretty good.

Yeah, it was ok. It wasn't "OMG THIS IS WONDERFUL" stuff, but nobody died and it was a nice little piece of escapism.

Also saw "Up". Good in parts, but I thought it really dragged toward the end. I dozed off during part of it.

Oldboy (again). I forgot how severely fucked that movie is.

Also, the guy always reminds me of Tadao, which I know has been addressed here before.

Yep, King Leer based too I believe.

My Bloody Valentine remake. I liked it a lot. I hear the original is even better.

Did you see My Bloody Valentine in 3D or 2D?
