Movies The Movie Thread!

Zack and Miri Make a Porno not that useless piece of crap from the HSM franchise.

You mite say he is 'useless' but Disney sure as heck isn't with over $218,688,539 made and still opening in countries, and also the countless millions they make off the merchandise, Zak Effron isn't 'totally' useless lol.

Anyways good reviews

Spoiler

I only have one complaint; the scene where Laurent warns the Cullens about James' plans was a but odd for me. They never explained what caused him to sell out his companions. It was a very literal and brash use of Deus Ex Machina. If the movie was supposed to be gritty, I'd understant, but the fact that the movie isn't supposed to be gritty...well you get what I'm pointing at.

That was kindof explained in the books, and it should be explained a little more in following movies.

@BB- I'm not a fan of mushy scenes, but Kevin Smith and Seth Rogen can do no wrong!

@ssjohn- He's a useful manwhore for Disney to pimp to little the young masses... I miss the days when Disney was about getting your moneys worth through decent, timeless works of art...

I'm not part of the book's fanbase.

I just watched Metal: A Headbangers Journey again, back to back with Global Metal for the first time! As a "Metalhead" I'm really proud of the fact that Sam Dunn took a step forward and made two difinitive documentaries on what metal really is, in it's best, and in it's worst! He and his crew delved deep into various forms of metal, all the way from makeup and lipstick clad glam to cross burning and all hating Norwegian black metal! Both documentaries are sure to be enjoyed by metalheads and others alike!

(For both films)
Visual effects/ Cinematography: 8/10
Audio: 11/10
Acting performance: 1/10 (no acting was done, it's all ball to wall metal!)
Direction: 9/10
Story progression: 11/10
Main plot: 11/10
Reviewers Bias: 11/10

Overall: 8.86. Though personally, I'd give it an 11!!!

So i guess Twilight is a movie worth going to then? :-)

Whaddya all think about the movie "The day the earth stood still" if that's the right title, can't really remember it. But i'm thinking of gonna go and see that one aswell, it feels like a "cinema" film and not one you watch at home on your 21' comp flat screen lol :P

 

[goldb]

Ahh..the Dark Knight - can't get enough of it. I saw it in the movies and just watched it again the other day. It's so good! I really wanna buy it on Blu-ray so I can watch it again and again!

I just saw The day the earth stood still and I found it to be quite boring. Though I have to admit that the acting was ok. Keanu Reeves' acting was great as Klaatu. His cold monotone did great great in giving off the "creepy emotionless alien" vibe.

Visual effects/ Cinematography: 8/10
Audio: 8/10
Acting performance: 8/10
Direction: 8/10
Story progression: 5/10
Main plot: 6/10
Reviewers Bias: 5/10

Overall: 6.85
Personal note: Eye-candy at best. So much more could have been done...

Watched "Taken".
Loved it, 8/10.
But it left me at the same state as "Lilja 4ever".
I just wanted to buy a gun and shoot people.
Hate stuff like that, but the movie was good, watch it!

 

[Nami]

Seen "Twilight".!!! Wahhh!! The guy is just hot hot hot!!
And bella is just one of the loviest young actress with the bittersweet look all the time.
Plotwise, er, it's really simple, but the scenary and the bishieness of edward is enough for me to close an eye and continue watching the show

Seen The day the earth stood still by keanu reaves last week. Ok movie. A lot of special effects but its quite a simple story, no surprises despite not having seen the original. I should probably rate it higher but maybe i was just in the holiday mood so i was hoping to watch something funny.

I saw Transporter 3 the other day. Jason Statham is hooooooot!<3 That girl who played the Ukranian woman is cute too Not a bad movie, lots of fun action and shirtlessness by Statham, which makes me happy. Now I need to go back and actually see the first two >___>

Saw Seven Pounds recently. If you haven't watched this movie then go do it now. It's easily one of the best movies to come out in 2008. One of Will Smith's best performances. try your absolute best not to spoil the movie with plot summaries, trailers, etc. I watched it without knowing anything about the movie other then that it was a drama. When the credits hit I was blown away. It's just that good of a movie. It's not action or fast paced but I'm sure it will grab your heart.

Enjoy, happy holidays.

Two movies surprised me recently:
Wall-E (which I originally thought was just environmentalist propaganda, turned out to be a very witty and awesome love story)
Hellboy 2 (I didnt enjoy the first one, only a couple aspects of it, and Pan's Labyrinth caused me to denounce Del Toro but this film gives him redemption)

 

[predsfan]

I just watched the X-men Origins: Wolverine trailer. I must say it looks quite awesome. Of course, it is a movie dedicated to my favorite comic book character of all the times being badass, so I may be a bit biased .

Oh and one last thing:

Spoiler

Gambit!!

Now, all I have to do is wait patiently until May .

 

[redcometfm]

Just watched Quantum of Solace, and what a great movie. Just a couple of minor negs, but otherwise a great movie.

Anyone seen The Spirit? Im heard some pretty good and bad reviews for it...
