Movie Talk

When I can't play video games in my free time, I may catch a movie or two. We recently saw:

Tooth Fairy (unfortunately)
Cliche, horrible acting, awful dialogue, The Rock finally hits, well, rock bottom...

Drag Me to Hell
It gets extremely graphic about midway through... like ridiculously graphic, like Evil Dead graphic. Somewhat decent, the goat demon dancing near the end is worth watching it for alone.

Coming to theaters
The Karate Kid
Remake, sort of, I don't know too much about this but we saw a trailer for it, it looked pretty decent.

Let's see here. Well working at Blockbuster does have it's advantages. Like having access to almost every movie as it comes out. Unfortunately I hate movies and don't watch many so I normally need to hear that it's really good before i waste my time. That said here's a few I've seen recently.

Legion
Terminator for Christians and not nearly as violent. Dennis Quaid was awesome tho.

The Hurt Locker
It is no surprise that this bad boy is up for Best Picture this year. Great characters and the perfect amount of tension throughout. A War movie with a very entertaining point. A must watch.

Inglorious Basterds
Hilarious, wonderfully written and acted. One of Tarentino's best.

G-Force
Surprisingly well written and voice acted despite being about guinea pigs. Cool surprise ending too. Soundtrack was terrible!!!

GI Joe
Say what you will but I loved this movie. One of the funnest 90 minutes of the year.

District 9
Fantastically paced and acted. Everything was awesome and I didn't even mind the pseudo-documentary shaky cam, actually made the move a little more real.

Yeah man. GI Joe is completely sill and ridiculous but that's what makes it fun . Just enjoy the ride and try to forgive Dennis Quaid for fucking everyone over.

No.

This movie was THE shittiest movie that I ever watched..I can't believe I really finished watching it. Everything about it was terrible...the acting, effects, reasons to try and scare you with stuff that isn't scary.

If its a break from Nick Jr and Disney animations, I'm happy with it. And when we rented it, I wasn't really expecting a scare the living shit out of me experience. Sure, everything might have been below par, but it was amusing to say the least. Consider your self fortunate that this is THE shittiest movie you've ever watched... theres a lot worse out there.

The Book of Eli
Action-packed violence and and inspirational message? That's a movie to be trifled with!

The Book of Eli was alright. It kinda bugged me a little bit. It was just.....bleh........but now that it is late enough to talk about Alice in Wonderland was amazing. ^^

Ugggh another Tim Burton unoriginal.

I have no desire to see Alice. However, I did hear that it was good.

Now Scott Pilgrim vs. The World!!!!



Actually filmed in my hood too!

Although I have never heard about it, I will have to check it out!

Yeah, it's all right. I wouldn't recommend it in 3D, though. I hear the effects were done post-production after they saw how hot Avatar was.

I watch to many movies to really rant about them atm. I must say I've seen about all of the ones mentioned cept for Alice and drag me to hell. I've been wanting to see drag me to hell for a while I just keep forgetting about it. past that I"m gonna watch Scott Pilgrim vs. The World the minute it comes out, looks like I'll laugh my ass off with good graphics to boot. I got a friend says Alice in I MAX is the best movie exp to date. still gonna pass.

Currently:

Lost youve got some catching up to do!

Band of Brothers hands down one of the best war series/movies ever made!!!

Avatar great effects, modern remake of Dances with wolves

Boondock Saints 1 & 2 one of the greatest cult movies in the last 10 years. This movie would have been released to the theaters if it werent for 9/11 happening within the same month of its intended release. Because of its vigilante theme it was deemed too controvercial for the public.

Firefly/Serenety need i say anything but JOSS JOSS JOSS JOSS?

Anime:
Last Exile Steam punk themed series! great CG assisted animation

Ghost in the Shell Great series of movies that also spawned an animated series

Trigun classic style anime series
