heat was pretty good 7.8/10

The Informant! 5.5/10

I'd give it a five, because the first half of the movie is gold, while the second half is a complete 180, thusly being a good HALF of a movie.  However, the first half was really good. Spoiler added comment: As the main character's life deteriorated, so did the quality of the movie.

9 7.5/10

Not really a kids movie just because it's CG.  I doubt most kids would get it, but I liked it.  Some parts had me questioning on screen events, but I felt mentally stimulated.  A good thing.

[IceCold]

Good summer for movies. Up's "Married Life" montage was beyond incredible. Hurt Locker was intense. Hangover was pretty funny ("...almost bankrupted the casino, and he was a ri-TARD!"). District 9 was a pleasant surprise. Inglourious Basterd's is Tarantino's third best movie.

Funny People was **** though. Transformers 2 was mongoose ****. Public Enemies was almost EXACTLY THE SAME as Heat. Come on Michael Mann.

Retro pick: Watched Sunset Blvd again and it's still amazing. I can't believe how well it aged. WATCH IT PEOPLE.

Want to watch Zombieland, 500 Days of Summer, and Ponyo.

Icecold has decent taste in movies.

Yeah, I don't like Transformers 3

Trick 'r Treat - 7/10

Nothing special, but it is an interesting movie told in a out of order fashion.
Some things are unexpected, and other things you might see coming, but it was all pretty entertaining.
Was there a scary moment? Nope. Not even one.


Laid to Rest - 6/10

If you like horror movies, this is worth a watch, but if you need absolute continuity in that movie and lead characters that aren't complete and utter fucking morons, then you should look elsewhere. THe lead character is a lady that awakes in a coffin and has apparently forgotten who she is and what some things are called. i.e. She awoke in a "dead box". Also the first escape scene left me wondering how she just escaped the killer, but overall it was enjoyable movie to watch and make fun of. The SFX were pretty good to for what it was, and its available on Netflix Instant Watch. Did I mention every character in this movie is a complete and utter fucking moron and there is no way anybody would let this play out the way the movie played out in real life.

[oohhboy]

Inglorious Bastards 9/10

Yes it's bullshit. Yes it is historically inaccurate. but I don't give a **** and neither does this film. The violence is short and brutal. No one is safe. While I would have liked more Nazi killing, what you do get is satisfying.

Oppose to popular misconception, this isn't a Brad Pitt movie and there is nothing wrong with him.

Lots of clever dialogue. For those who hate Subtitles, about half the movie is Subbed. If you want to complain about it, I will tell you to shove it.

Highly entertaining and easily some of Quentin's best work that destroys the boorish Kill Bill. Highly recommended, but not for the squeamish.

[BeautifulShy]

Just watched Man on the Moon.Excellent movie. 5/5

[Stogi]

Zombieland

Cult Classic/10

This movie had me laughing almost the entire time, even up until the very end. Man, the look on Florida's face we he finds out what Ohio shot....priceless. I'm going to watch this again as soon as the DVD comes out.

Mulholland Drive- 10/10

Can't say I enjoyed the movie on an emotional level, it was far too depressing but wow what a ride. I understood (or think I do) what it was all about, but even then there is so much to find in this movie. It was far scarier then pretty much any horror movie I've seen in quite some time without relying on boo scares, it just had me creeped out from beginning to end which made even more of an impact because of Lynch's claustrophobic camera work (that is thankfully a STABLE camera, not Greengrass's motion sickness style that I despise, which seems to be something "artistic" directors go for).

[EasyCure]

Zombieland

Cult Classic/10

This movie had me laughing almost the entire time, even up until the very end. Man, the look on Florida's face we he finds out what Ohio shot....priceless. I'm going to watch this again as soon as the DVD comes out.

Ditto. You Know Who's cameo alone had me ROFLMFAO and every scene with him in it.. oh man, epic ****. Even You Know Who's dying words.. that **** was just plain funny. Definately be adding this to my tiny dvd collection of must-owns.

On a side-note; I was playing some RE4 (WE) a few days after i saw Zombieland (the rollercoaster scene made me want to revisit the mines) and I was constantly giving los Ganados a double-tap and laughing to myself.

Whip It: 7/10

Cute flick, had some suprisingly funny moments. I expected it to be a chick-flick but it wasn't all emotional or filled with teen angst, just a bunch of chicks beating up on eachother in skates. Nice. I was surprised that Drew Barrymore was the producer, but I was more surprised that she's not so self indulged that she gave herself a huge part in the movie. In fact, she had maybe like 5 lines in the whole thing and very little screen time compared to that newcomer Kristen Wiig (who seems to be in everything lately).

Oh and for you pedophiles out there, the main character has an almost nude scene that made me feel very uncomfortable to watch because she looks like she's 12 years old so.. yeah you  might get a kick outta that.

[BlackNMild2k1]

if your talking about Ellen Page (Juno), she is 22 yrs old.

[Dasmos]

I was surprised that Drew Barrymore was the producer

Director?

Oh, i know that, but she LOOKS 12 which is what makes it very creepy to see her undress.

Does it matter?

An American Werewolf in London - 6.5/10

I know this movie is considered a werewolf great, and it does still probably hold the title for best transformation scene, but this movie could have been better. I know it was 1981 when it was made and special effects weren't what they were today, but it would have been nice to see the wolf more often and not just a screen flash of a wolf face close up. It also seemed to just end all of a sudden, no real closure. I personally like the sequel better, it was a much more fun movie.


The Thirst - 5.5/10

It was entertaining for a low budget vampire flick that replaces fangs with drool. This was a movie that I watched following a recommendation from GP in the Halloween "scary" movie thread, and I don't regret watching it. It did some things wrong, and other things poorly, but it managed to hold my interest all the way to the end. Take into account that most of the budget was probably spent on fake blood and it's really not that bad of a movie all things considered.

I agree with what you said, I enjoyed it more because it was a unique twist on things, but it was obviously hampered by budget. The acting was average at best.

Gangs of the dead : LOL THIS IS SO BAD/10

LOL THIS IS SO BAD! budget priced movie i bought from Circuit City back during the liquidation of assets.. cost me like $2 and was still too expensive for how crappy it is. Very LOL-worthy though, since I like to make fun of budget movies like this. I got it as a gag gift for my brother but he never took it, its been in my posession ever since.

[Halbred]

GP, Mullholland Drive is a great movie. Absolutely fantastic, and you're right, it's a little freaky too, especially when the girls find a certain corpse...

I watched the original Die Hard last night. It hasn't stood up well (very few 80's action movies have), certainly not as well as I thought it would. Seeing Bruce Willis with hair is a trip. I'm going to watch the second one in the next few days. I hope it's better.

[oohhboy]

You will find Die Hard stands up very well, especially when you compare it to Die Hard 4.0 which quite frankly, isn't Die Hard. You could have Owen Wilson playing the lead in 4 and the results would have been the same.

While the stunts aren't as big or flashy as they are now, for most of it they had to do it for real. All those conventions and cliches started here. None of that PG-13 violence throttling.

I would rate the second movie near the first, but a touch lower. It's still good, but it suffers a little by being a sequel and needing to be a bigger movie.

[ThePerm]

as far as low budget zombie movies go Gangs of the Dead isn't that bad. Now watch Zombiez

Gangs of the Dead C+/A++

Zombies F-/A++

[EasyCure]

Is it the italian "zombie" you're referring to?
cuz at least that had an epic zombie vs shark fight!

Three... Extremes - 5.5/10

This has been on my Netflix list forever and a day, but I just got around to watching it thanks to Stogi's glowing recommendation. 3 stories, 3 different directors. I kept hearing that the last one was the best, Stogi says the 1st 2 were the best. Personally I think the 1st one was good, the 2nd one I don't really get and the 3rd one was boring until the "what a twist" moment at the very end, which upon reflection made the whole story kinda sick.

But on a related side note, it's entirely possible that I have become completely desensitized.

[Stogi]

"glowing"? I beg to differ.

The first one is great. The second one is the best. The third one I can't even remember; something about a box. I might need to rewatch it though.

[BlackNMild2k1]

The 1st one was good, even though I guessed what she was using the minute I first saw her making it.

I not sure I got the second one.
He gets kidnapped by the extra, who cuts off his wife's fingers and tried to get him(the director) to suffocate his(the extra's) son? But why does the Director then strangle out his own wife... "I ned to do this for my wife, because I love her" who was he talking to? was that not his wife he stangled out at the end? He made it sound like it was really his mistress.

The 3rd one was about the twins and the box.

[Stogi]

If I remember right, it's because the son swears revenge on his "wife" (who is actually his mistress). So he kills her in order to save his wife in the long run.

I liked it a lot, not because of the plot (the first one had the best plot), but because of how weird and psycho it was. That director definitely did the best job; it was brilliantly shot.

[ThePerm]

no Zombi was great, Zombiez is another gang related zombie movie, and its terrible. Gangs of the Dead has at least a little going for it.

Drag Me To Hell - Must/Watch

What a great movie. Sam Raimi(Evil Dead, Spiderman) hit a homerun with this movie. A little cartoonish at times, but what would you expect from the man that brought you the Evil Dead series? A girl comes across a Gypsy curse and everything is all bad from there on out. Can she beat it or remove it? Well you gotta watch and find out for yourself, but this is pure entertainment from beginning to end. Also getting added to the Halloween "Scary" Movie thread.


p.s. The girl starring in this(Alison Lohman) should replace Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman.
