Paranormal Activity. How is this tops at the box office right now? It is the most terrible, nothing-happens POS that I have ever seen. I might go out on a limb and say that it is the worst movie I've ever seen, and not worst in any sort of entertaining way.
Think Blair Witch, except with more annoying dialogue, and less happens. |
That's indie films for you.

there are tons of good, low-budget indie films out there. This was not one of them. They must have a whole brigade of people pumping out positive reviews on IMDB and such, because I can't imagine how this movie is universally raved about.
They must get all their box-office on people curious about the commercials ("scariest movie ever made") and whatnot. Seriously, it's an annoying couple talking for an hour and a half. There is no atmosphere, no building tension. The "scary" stuff is not that scary unless you're ultra-susceptible to that sort of thing, I guess. It's like the entire nation got Rick Roll'd. |

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Iron Man.

Ernest Scared Stupid.
:awesome |
Zombieland.
It wasn't as balls-to-the-wall awesome as I was anticipating, but it was ok. It had funny parts. Thank goodness for Bill Murray. |
I finally got around to watching Hellboy and Hellboy II. They were ok. Not spectacular, but I was reasonably entertained.
I am pissed that Boondock Saints 2 is not showing in my city. First time I ever seriously considered going to the seedy part of town and getting a pirated copy of something. I haven't yet, but I am tempted because of this limited release crap. |
i just rewatched demon knight and i'm left wondering why the hell aren't there more pictures with billy zane as the badguy
|
I'm currently watching eXistenZ. Last time I saw this film I was really young and I think I was in Middle School, can't clearly remember it besides the infamous tooth gun.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY WAS THE FUCKING SUCKIEST SUCKFEST THAT EVER SUCKED >:
How the fuck do people even think this is scary? The commercials for this fucker showed people so scared they were cartwheeling in their seats from fear. The dude in it was such a douchebag broham "Yo ghost, come out here man, we got beef man, I ain't gonna let this ghost push me around man, this is my house and you are my girl man, come on you pussy ghost, step in this baby powder and I'll douse my hand in it and attempt to pimp slap your phantasmal ass because I am such a hardass" and the girl was an annoying cunt and her voice constantly going on and on was painful "MEECAH, COME BACK MEECAH, MEECAH STOP THIS MEECAH" >: |
would you suggest it to anyone?

the maiden heist
kind of dumb/boring but since it had christopher walken, morgan freeman and william h. macy in it i had to at least give it a shot :( |
akira kurosawa's dreams
gorgeous film and I'm absolutely shocked I've never heard of it before. Run-down: eight short segments, each based on a dream Kurosawa had at some point in his life. No overall plot, just a few short films all containing an actor portraying Kurosawa. The focus of the film is more on visuals and music than it is on dialogue. It is very slow paced, but gorgeous (the Peach Blossom dance, the funeral procession, and the Van Gogh segments come to mind). Most of the dreams have a very flagrant message, and that is that we're destroying the earth and act irresponsibly towards nature. Some of them are nightmares, without any hope, while others leave a more optimistic footprint. I found it hard to pay attention to the subtitles as I was lost in the visuals of the film. We rented it, and I loved it so much I bought it today off Amazon for six bucks. Definitely recommended. Kurosawa Warning: No Samurai. |
I don't remember anyone anywhere saig it was based off of dreams he had. Are you sure about that? :quesionablelook
|
I guess you're right. I don't believe it though. I think he was lying.

My girlfriend like it a lot and said it was really really really scary. I told her SAM and KITSA both said it was bad. |
I trust SAM and KITSA more than anyone I know personally.

Thank you. Because it really did suck just about as much as anything could suck.
I mean, I guess if you're one of those people who gets all pumped up in advance, "OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE SO SCARY" and then your brain makes it scary so you don't feel like a total fucking schmuck, then maybe it could be scary then. Or if the very thought of a ghost or demon scares the everloving hell out of you, maybe. Because that was all it really was, a thought, and a vague one at that. And in regard to the "MEECAH, MEECAH" thing....I have known several people named Micah and all of them pronounce their name Mike-uh, like the mineral. Maybe the actor pronounces his name Meek-uh and that's where they got it, but the actress constantly screaming "MEECAH, MEECAH" was annoying as hell. I continue to be pissed off at that movie for misrepresenting itself and being a total waste of my time. |
yeah, tadao, doesn't the title give it away? or that each segment starts with "another dream." come on, man.
(but no i doubt they're actually based on dreams he had in his sleep. daydreaming/imagining, though.. yeah) FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN pretty all right, for a cheesy old horror movie. the sets were very strange, as far as interiors go. the acting wasn't the best, but peter cushing makes a good dr. frankenstein. |
Independence Day- good, cheesy fun. Judd Hirsch as Jeff Goldblum's Jewish dad is great.
