Last Movie You Watched V. 1.0

[korme]

I'm going to kick this off, all this requires is that you post the last movie you watched, and rank it out of 10.

I just watched Four Brothers yesterday, happens to be a new movie. 8.5/10

[PackerFanatic]

Unforunately, it was Sideways last night. 1/10

I didn't like it much at all.

[Karlifornia]

Teenagers From Outer Space-0/10

in theaters: Skeleton Key-6/10 (I think voodoo is cooldood)

[Warhammer]

Star Wars - 9.5/10

[WSUCougar]

Unforunately, it was Sideways last night. 1/10

I didn't like it much at all.
Oh, man, you're killing me! That was a great flick.

I'm embarrassed to say this, but...

Constantine = 2/10

[Mustang]

Contact - 8/10

[Johnny93g]

Mr. 3000

4/10...funny but predictable

[Raven]

I Spy (w/ Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson) 6.5/10


Had a few great scenes where Eddie was his old self. I'm talking 48 Hours/Beverly Hills Cop Eddie funny. Owen was his normal funny self, but the movie needed a little bit more to get a better rating from me.

[chinaski]

Oh, man, you're killing me! That was a great flick.

I'm embarrassed to say this, but...

Constantine = 2/10
Im with you, it was one of the very few movies ive ever had too turn off. I wasnt expecting much, i just wanted to be entertained on a lazy sunday, but my god does it suck balls. If only the whole movie could have been like the 1st 10 minutes.

Easily, 0/10.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Mr. & Mrs. Smith 6/10 - Fun movie, but nothing that sticks with me. I doubt I'll have any interest in owning it or watching it again.

(It was part of a double feature with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which I would give 8/10.)

[rafini]

War of the Worlds
5/10
Good special effects, but I thought there were some holes in the story.

[QuikSand]

The Aristocrats
8.5/10

[kingfc22]

Tears of the Sun
7.5/10

[HomerJSimpson]

Marci X: 4/10 (It could have been lower, because it was a really dumb movie, but there were a few lines/parodies that made me laugh, so I can't completely kill it)

[bronconick]

Alexander (roommate rented it and left it out) 0/10

Turned it off midway. The History channel special was more *entertaining* then this, not to mention the historical inaccuracy. When Gaugamela is over in the first 45 minutes, you know it's going to suck.

[Godzilla Blitz]

War of the Worlds
5.5/10

[WSUCougar]

You War of the Worlds raters, can you explain what you didn't like? I'd probably give it a 7 or 8 myself.

[Radii]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: 4/10

[mauchow]

Saw - 8/10

[Vince]

Re-watched Boondock Saints. 10/10.

Recent new movie I watched -- Fantastic Four. 6.5/10 -- solid, but unspectacular.

[Sublime 2]

DVD: Hostage 7/10
Theatre: Charlie & the Chocolate factory 8/10

[Karlifornia]

The Aristocrats
8.5/10


Judging by the score, I'd venture to guess that you'd recommend this. What I want to know is if it's worth going to the theater to see, instead of waiting to pay half price at the video store?

[sabotai]

Spanglish - 6.5/10 (or 6/10 if we're not allowed to give half points. :) )

It was decent, but nothing all that special.

[QuikSand]

mauboy, you have reminded me:

- - - - -

going to see SAW tonight

which playground? I hope you bring someone of similar size and weight along cause it is no fun otherwise.

Still one of my favorite exchanges from the FOFC forums.

[QuikSand]

It's funny as hell, pretty much as billed. There's certainly nothing so special about it that makes it a "big screen" type of movie (no spectacular scenery, stunts, or sound of course) - I just couldn't imagine waiting months to see it to save a few bucks. Mrs. Q also insisted that we go - she loved it, too.

[Calis]

Downfall- 8.9

Not really sure what to say about this one, great all around. Great casting, excellent performances, very tense, and just an all-around interesting story, and done very well. Highly recommended

[Schmidty]

Below (DVD)

7/10

[VPI97]

TV : Once upon a Time in China - 8/10 - Early Jet Li
Theater : Mr. & Mrs. Smith - 8/10 - I had low expectations, but found that I enjoyed it more than most other movies that my wife picks out.

[Logan]

The Day After Tomorrow - 5/10

[Celeval]

Must Love Dogs - 6.5/10

[amdaily]

Downfall

Movie itself = 9/10
Being in German and having to read subtitles = 7.5/10 :(

[Raven Hawk]

50 First Dates - 6/10

Not one of Sandler's best, but still entertaining. It exceede my expectations, but my expectations were set at 3/10. Funny movie, worth catching on cable.

[timmynausea]

Cheap Theatre - Dark Water 1/10
Real Theatre - Devil's Rejects 5/10
DVD - Undertow 8/10

I want to go see Broken Flowers and Junebug if they ever come around here.

[John Galt]

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

7.5/10 - Close to perfect execution, but overall score reduced by inherent limitations of the stoner adventure genre.

[Godzilla Blitz]

You War of the Worlds raters, can you explain what you didn't like? I'd probably give it a 7 or 8 myself. Good
Big alien thingies blow up lots of stuff.
(I thought the alien tripod thingies were awesome.)

The way the movie captures the confusion and fear of the invasion.
(The whole storm, alien's erupt from Earth touch was well done, I thought. The scenes of destruction were well done.)

Some action sequences and the special effects that went with them.
(I thought some of the action sequences were spectacularly well done.)

Bad
The ending
(Not sure why it bothered me now. I liked the original version and assumed this one would end the same way. Somehow it seemed more contrived this time. Almost as if it were a cop out.)

The sub-story
(The "deadbeat dad becomes hero/go to Boston" story seemed jumbled, weak, clunky, and unconvincing. And where was everyone going anyway? Were they all trying to go to Boston? Why? I'm not sure I ever figured that out. Maybe it had something to do with the Red Sox?)

Pacing of movie. Too much time in basements
(In particular, the Tim Robbins episode in the basement. Much too long, and didn't really do much, IMHO, to advance anything in the story. Almost felt like the movie went on pause here.)

Scope of movie
(Although in many ways, I think they captured the fear and confusion of the invasion well, I think they should have done more to give a sense of the global scale of the invasion other than the various rumors and one scene in the news truck. I admit, the way they played the story out it would have been unlikely that the characters would have access to this info, but still, I thought they should have captured the invasion on larger scale.)

Acting
(None of the actors seemed to reach anything close to their potential here. I actually like some of Tom Cruise's work and really enjoy a lot of Tim Robbins' stuff, but neither of them seemed particularly effective here. The kids were, well, kids. Neither impressed me.)

No Godzilla Appearance
(As my good friend Yuusui says, "Think of any movie you know. Now add Godzilla. Better movie." This movie, especially, had tons of Godzilla potential. If it were my movie, I would have had Godzilla sweep in and kill all the aliens at the end. That would have rocked. You know it.)

[Fouts]

Theatre - Skeleton Key 5/10
DVD - Donnie Darko 8/10

[Fouts]

Mr. & Mrs. Smith 6/10 - Fun movie, but nothing that sticks with me. I doubt I'll have any interest in owning it or watching it again.

(It was part of a double feature with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which I would give 8/10.)

Wow, I never see double features for big movies around here. That's cool.

[digamma]

Wedding Crashers 7.5/10

[atatange1]

Memories of Murder. A Korean film I found on comcast On Demand. 8/10

[SelzShoes]

Teenagers From Outer Space-0/10
Ok, so they had to cheap it out on the monster, but this is pretty good 50's B-Grade sci-fi. Not campy, but an intriguing story of an invader from a conformist society to learns to question authority.

Anyhoo,
Fantastic Four (Roger Corman version) 7/10, helluva a good job for $2 million and his Thing looks better.

[moriarty]

The machinist 7/10.

Pretty weird - with a rather disgusting, but amazing portrayal by Christian Bale (Batman). Not quite the huge payoff I was hoping for, but solid flick.

[Fouts]

The machinist 7/10.

Pretty weird - with a rather disgusting, but amazing portrayal by Christian Bale (Batman). Not quite the huge payoff I was hoping for, but solid flick.

I saw that recently and was struck at how thin he looked, it sure didn't look healthy. I enjoyed the story though. I watched The Jacket the same night, and my mind was all messed up.

[ThunderingHERD]

Unforunately, it was Sideways last night. 1/10

I didn't like it much at all.

Um, Sideways was a 9 easy. I've seen it at least a dozen times.

Anyway, I ordered some DVDs the other day, stuff I've been meaning to watch for a long, long time.

Love Wes Anderson but hadn't seen Bottle Rocket--was underwhelmed by it: 6/10.

Love PT Anderson but hadn't seen Hard Eight--it just further cemented my opinion that he's the greatest writer/director around: 8/10.

Had never seen a Todd Solondz movie so I got Happiness--pretty thoroughly detested it: 2/10.

[Calis]

I saw that recently and was struck at how thin he looked, it sure didn't look healthy. I enjoyed the story though. I watched The Jacket the same night, and my mind was all messed up.

Watched that the other night also, I really enjoyed it. It was so...off, but I really liked how it wrapped up, interesting take.

Yeah I was reading that he dropped liked 65 pounds for the role, he was at about 120 for filming, and he looked disgusting. Was really creepy, being a big Christian Bale fan, to see him look that disturbing. I can understand people packing on some pounds to do a role, but I hadn't seen anyone get that sickly skinny before.

[LloydLungs]

American Movie... 5/10

Interesting story to some extent, but you have to be REALLY into the pothead caricature to enjoy the film. Basically Ed Wood, except stoned out of his mind.

And I agree with the above poster -- Teenagers From Outer Space, while incredibly cheesy, is one of the most watchable MST3K movies they ever did.

[Eaglesfan27]

The Grudge: 3/10. It was predictable and wasn't scary. Not good for a horror movie.

[SegRat]

Oh, man, you're killing me! That was a great flick.

I'm embarrassed to say this, but...

Constantine = 2/10
Damn, and I was going to watch this tonight. I think I will check out Hotel Rwanda instead.

[korme]

Hotel Rwanda is highly recommended, Seg.

[Blade]

Just saw The Longest Yard - 8/10...I really enjoyed it...

[Schmidty]

Damn, and I was going to watch this tonight. I think I will check out Hotel Rwanda instead.

I thought Constantine was ok. Not great, but worth a rental.

[Schmidty]

The machinist 7/10.

Pretty weird - with a rather disgusting, but amazing portrayal by Christian Bale (Batman). Not quite the huge payoff I was hoping for, but solid flick.

Yeah, Bale looked nasty. I have a feeling he was barfing in order to get that thin.

[JeeberD]

Frida

The movie itself, 5/10.

Salma's nudity, 25/10. I don't care if she DID have a unibrow in it...

[Draft Dodger]

DVD - Sideways 8/10 (although it might get bonus points because I was unable to watch it without drinking large amounts of wine)
Theater? Can't remember - it's been a while.

[Bad-example]

Richard III - Comcast On Demand

9/10 - Based on the Shakespeare play and set in a 1940-ish time period, this is a lavish and intense movie that shows Ian Mckellan at his very best. Fantastic art direction.

[timmynausea]

American Movie... 5/10

American Movie is 10/10 for me.

[ThunderingHERD]

American Movie is a 10. No question about it. One of the funniest movies ever made.

I get the urge to watch it all the time, but I let somebody borrow the DVD a few years ago and never got it back. It's like $25 for a new copy, which is a steep price to rebuy at, so I've been American Movie-less for too long.

Last night, man, I was so drunk, I was calling Morocco, man. Trying to get to the Hotel Hilton at Tangiers in Casablanca, man. That's pathetic, man. Is that what you wanna do with your life? Suck down peppermint schnapps and try to call Morocco at 2:00 in the morning? That's senseless. But that's what happens, man.

[korme]

Just watched Collateral again.. 9/10. Very good flick.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Supertroopers: 8/10.

Easily one of the funniest movies I've seen in years. I feel stupid for having waited so long to actually see it.

[Groundhog]

It: 7.5/10

It was originally a TV movie, and the adult actors aren't nearly as good as the child actors, but hey, Tim Curry makes a freaky ass clown. Also, bonus points for being a Stephen King adaption that isn't completely terrible, though I haven't read the book.

[Flasch186]

Sin City

6 out of 10 as a movie 10 out of 10 for gore factor and innovation.

[JeeberD]

Also, bonus points for being a Stephen King adaption that isn't completely terrible...

Huh? What have you been smoking?

...though I haven't read the book.

Ah, now I understand...

[B & B]

The Great Raid

I was dragged out to this movie without knowing anything of it. Sometimes not seeing a trailer, or knowing the plot or cast can be a good thing. I entered the movie with no expectations and they were met with a boring, dull snoozefest. Felt like a documentary on the history channel without commercials. Highly not suggested. 2.5 / 10

[duckman]

Dead Poets Society

8/10

[ThunderingHERD]

Dead Poets Society

[KevinNU7]

Last Movie at home: Spanglish - Overall 5/10, first 90 minutes 7/10 last 30 minutes 1/10

Last Theater Movie: Batman Begins - Overall 9/10, would have gotten a 10/10 if they got rid of that lame ass unrealistic car.

[ThunderingHERD]

I liked this:


"Dead Poets Society" is a collection of pious platitudes masquerading as a courageous stand in favor of something: doing your own thing, I think. It's about an inspirational, unconventional English teacher and his students at "the best prep school in America" and how he challenges them to question conventional views by such techniques as standing on their desks. It is, of course, inevitable that the brilliant teacher will eventually be fired from the school, and when his students stood on their desks to protest his dismissal, I was so moved, I wanted to throw up.

...

"Dead Poets Society" is not the worst of the countless recent movies about good kids and hidebound, authoritatian older people. It may, however, be the most shameless in its attempt to pander to an adolescent audience. The movie pays lip service to qualities and values that, on the evidence of the screenplay itself, it is cheerfully willing to abandon.

[timmynausea]

This is my favorite Ebert work of late:

The movie created a spot of controversy last February. According to a story by Larry Carroll of MTV News, Rob Schneider took offense when Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times listed this year's Best Picture Nominees and wrote that they were "ignored, unloved and turned down flat by most of the same studios that ... bankroll hundreds of sequels, including a follow-up to 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,' a film that was sadly overlooked at Oscar time because apparently nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate Comic."

Schneider retaliated by attacking Goldstein in full-page ads in Daily Variety and the Hollywood Reporter. In an open letter to Goldstein, Schneider wrote: "Well, Mr. Goldstein, I decided to do some research to find out what awards you have won. I went online and found that you have won nothing. Absolutely nothing. No journalistic awards of any kind ... Maybe you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who's Never Been Acknowledged by His Peers."

Reading this, I was about to observe that Schneider can dish it out but he can't take it. Then I found he's not so good at dishing it out, either. I went online and found that Patrick Goldstein has won a National Headliner Award, a Los Angeles Press Club Award, a RockCritics.com award, and the Publicists' Guild award for lifetime achievement.

Schneider was nominated for a 2000 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, but lost to Jar-Jar Binks.

But Schneider is correct, and Patrick Goldstein has not yet won a Pulitzer Prize. Therefore, Goldstein is not qualified to complain that Columbia financed "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" while passing on the opportunity to participate in "Million Dollar Baby," "Ray," "The Aviator," "Sideways" and "Finding Neverland." As chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.

The Life Aquatic

I gave it a 7/10, but I really like Bill Murray

the wife gave it a 2/10, but she liked how it looked.

[Johnny93g]

Good Will Hunting Last night...10/10

[Schmidty]

Ebert is the most worthless "reviewer" ever. He lets his politics cloud every single movie he sees and then reports on. Not only that, but he's a hypocrite. He dogs certain movies for being commercial and shallow, yet he is both of those things himself. The fact that people like him alledgedly get paid to give "thumbs up" on certain movies makes every single thing else that he comments on worthless.

I guess you could say that I dislike him intensely, and critics as a whole maybe a little less intensely.

[timmynausea]

Ebert is awesome.

He's nowhere near as bad as Rex Reed or the Medvid/Lyons combo. Ebert at least knows how hard it is to make a bad movie (Beyond the Valley of the Dolls).

And if his politics influenced all of his reviews, he would have loved "The Life of David Gale."

[Psmith]

Teenagers From Outer Space-0/10
I actually thought this was surprisingly decent, say a 3/10. Of course it was B-grade with howlingly incompetent FX, but the director managed to create a feel of surrealism with the zombie-like hero, the strikingly odd-looking heroine, and the perpetual late afternoon lighting. Plus, it has King Moody of Get Smart!

[ThunderingHERD]

Every single movie? Really? Can you name five?

Not only that, but he's a hypocrite. He dogs certain movies for being commercial and shallow, yet he is both of those things himself.

Um, Ebert is probably one of the friendliest of any respected film critic to major Hollywood films.

The fact that people like him alledgedly get paid to give "thumbs up" on certain movies makes every single thing else that he comments on worthless.

Wait, the fact that people "like him" (not him) "alledgedly" (apparently you have no evidence) get paid for a "thumb ups" (which has nothing to do with his pieces for the Sun Times) makes everything he says worthless? That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing your extremely rational opinions.

[Raven]

finally watched Collateral last night for the first time. 8.5/10.

If you guys don't mind reading sub-titles, you should check out a movie called City of God. It's very good. I give it a 8.5/10 also.

[chinaski]

just watched the DVD of Kung Fu Hustle, Chow is the BEST! Hollywood needs to take some serious notes.

9/10

Big Fish. One of the most mixed reviewed movies I've ever heard about. Finally watched it.

Solid 6.5/10. Nice touching story, but nothing overwhelming. Helena Bonham Carter and Alison Lohman are winners.

Kind of a sad unusual moment. I was looking at Big Fish on IMDb, and checked out Karl the Giant's bio. He died 8 days ago. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif

DVD - Million Dollar Baby - 5 out of 10. Not sure what the big hub-bub was about, boss.

Decent enough movie but some of the acting was overdone and and the plot was kinda out there...

Big Fish. One of the most mixed reviewed movies I've ever heard about. Finally watched it.

Just saw it and suprisingly really liked it. 9/10. I say suprisingly, because I normally hate Tim Burton's directing.

Also saw Sin City and I'd give it a 7/10 having never read the comics. A couple of the story lines were good, but I thought the Del Toro one about the peace between the cops and old town dragged.

Next up: Kung Fu Hustle and Oldboy.

[Chas in Cinti]

Shaun of the Dead - 6/10

I saw this in the theater and LOVED it... but I lived in Europe for a while and didn't have an issue with the dialog.

solid 8/10 for me...

I saw Skeleton Key a couple weeks back... It was ok, ending was bleh... 5/10.

4.5 for Troy? Ugh! That movie rules.

[Solecismic]

In theaters: A Few Good Men (can't remember whether I liked it, I'm currently in year 14 of my boycott of movie theaters).

On cable: Freaky Friday (6.5/10). Silly concept, but well acted, and LL pre-whatever is very hot.

Shaun of the Dead - 6/10

There are some very funny moment, but too damn often I couldn't understand a word of what was being said...

Saw that one last week. You really need to turn captioning on. I've started doing this for pretty much all movies, and it makes a huge difference. Anyhow, it's not bad, but probably a little overrated.

[John Travolta]

Pulp Fiction.

[rkmsuf]

Nothing is better than Travolta day.

[John Travolta]

Ayyyy! Mister Kot-ter!!

My fiancee' and I joked about turning closed captioning on but never did it. Probably would have helped us to understand the fat dude...

[Easy Mac]

Theaters: Wedding Crashers (7/10) Great first 2/3, completely fell apart at the end.
DVD/XVid: Gerry (6.0/10). Interesting concept and beautifully shot. Had some long boring stretches but a compelling story.

[Subby]

Tell me you're joking
I wish I was. Singelton couldn't possibly be more self-indulgent. What a waste of what could have been a great film-making career...

[TheOhioStateUniversity]

Theatre: Four Brothers 8/10

Home DVD: Taxi Driver (didnt really get the hype) 6/10

[cthomer5000]

The Grudge: 3/10. It was predictable and wasn't scary. Not good for a horror movie.
The movie couldn't have made less sense or had less of a story. I was seriously disappointed with it, and would grade it similarly.

[sabotai]

Wedding Crashers - 8/10. Great first 2/3rds, dragged at the end with a semi-save by Will Ferrell.

[Sublime 2]

Theatre: Dukes of Hazzard - 7/10, was expecting virtually nothing, but came away with enough laughs to make it semi-worth it.

TV: Deep Rising - 2/10

[Pumpy Tudors]

Theatre: Um. I think the last movie I saw in the theatre was The Matrix Revolutions. I haven't seen the first two in the series, and I know about how the first one is supposed to be so great or whatever. Still, I'm not interested. My wife wanted to go see the last one, and I reluctantly went with her. Considering that I didn't know anything about the story, I don't think I can rate it effectively. If I had to rate it, I'd give it a 4/10. The last movie I saw in the theatre before THAT was The Tuxedo, and I'd give that a 5/10.

TV: Bruce Almighty, I think. That was at least two months ago. I'd give it a 7.5/10. If we can count Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip (that was really the last "movie" I watched), I'm gonna say 8.5/10 for that one.

Obviously, I don't watch a lot of movies.

[VPI97]

Alexander: -2/10

Quite possibly the worst movie I have seen in over a decade.

[moriarty]

Just saw "Old Boy" .... 8.8 out of 10.

Not sure if this has been listed, but it's a Korean film (avoid if you can't handle dubs/subtitles). The basic premise is this guy is taken off the streets and imprisoned for 15 years. He has no idea why he was imprisioned or why he was released after 15 years ... but he has 5 days to find out.

Very stylish for an asian film ... for any film for that matter, with an ending that will have you talking as much as the first time you saw "Seven". Definitely check this one out.

Not sure if this has been listed, but it's a Korean film (avoid if you can't handle dubs/subtitles). The basic premise is this guy is taken off the streets and imprisoned for 15 years. He has no idea why he was imprisioned or why he was released after 15 years ... but he has 5 days to find out.

Very stylish for an asian film ... for any film for that matter, with an ending that will have you talking as much as the first time you saw "Seven". Definitely check this one out.
I've heard alot about this on another board. I am kinda intrigued, could I find it at somewhere like a Blockbuster?

[timmynausea]

Ghost Dog: The way of the Samurai - 8/10

[Raven]

Mr. 3000 - 4/10

I love Bernie Mac, but his comedy didn't excel in this movie. Plus, you'd think they could have found someone a little more athletic to play the part. Even if he was supposed to be 47, an ex-ML player would still look athletic. It was at least watchable though.

[purplepee]

A Tale of Two Sisters 9/10

3 days later my girlfriend and I are still talking and thinking about it. A very creepy little Korean film.

[Kodos]

The movie couldn't have made less sense or had less of a story. I was seriously disappointed with it, and would grade it similarly.

Not to mention the ripping off of The Ring's style.

Should be able to. It just came out in US release last week. Might have to look in the foreign section though.

The Ring 2: 7/10

No where near as scary as the first one, but the special effects were pretty good.

Ugh. I passionately hated this piece of shit.

[MikeVic]

Ugh. I passionately hated this piece of shit.

I found it very good. I'm just curious to know what you hated about it? I thought the story was told well, the ending was just crazy, and I liked the concept.

[ThunderingHERD]

The entire premise (and especially the ending) was absurd. Otherwise a very ugly, nihilistic movie stylized to the point of goofiness.

[Raiders Army]

The Jacket. Good movie and very surprising. I was expecting a thriller or a horror movie...and it wasn't.

[Eaglesfan27]

The Skeleton Key - It gets 1 point for having New Orleans and the surrounding area. 2 points for Kate Hudson who looked particularly good in this movie. 1 point for the plot that was too predictable and not nearly as scary as it was supposed to be.

I give it a 4/10.

Mrs. Eaglesfan gives it a 5/10.

[korme]

Ray 8/10 - Didn't know he did hardcore drugs and slept around, that was pretty surprising. Great performance by Jamie Foxx.

[panerd]

Just saw Oldboy based on this thread. While the movie probably lost a little with the dubbing and some of the parts kind of dragged, I have to agree the ending is like no other I have ever seen in a movie. Without spoiling any of the move I just wanted to add that this is what American cinema could be like if this country wasn't so scared about offending somebody or making Rush Hour 7.

[Honolulu_Blue]

I just wanted to add that this is what American cinema could be like if this country wasn't so scared about ... making Rush Hour 7.
Why would "this country" be scared of making Rush Hour 7? Other than the obvious questions of "what happened in Rush Hours 3-6?" and "How in the hell are we going to afford Chris Tucker's salary?", I don't see why this country would be afraid of making this film.

I kinda like Rush Hours 1-2 and would happy to see another sequel, though I am not sure if they could pull off 5 more. The formula may get a little tired by then.

[moriarty]

Just saw "Kung Fu Hustle" ... and I didn't like it 4/10.

I know some people really liked this so I tried to get into it, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe I went into it with the wrong expectations, but I didn't find it that funny and the story was rather goofy.

If I were a gambling man, I'd venture to say he probably missed a word like "concerned", as in concerned with making a movie like Rush Hour 7.

[ThunderingHERD]

I would much rather see another Rush Hour than another movie that thinks the depiction of sadism is an end in itself.

[Eaglesfan27]

We saw 40 year old virgin yesterday. I thought it was funny and give it a 7/10. Mrs. Eaglesfan found only a few parts mildly funny and gives it a 3/10.

[TazFTW]

Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386064/

8/10, strong stuff.

Saw Cellular and Paparazzi last week. Cellular would get a 5/10 and Paparazzi gets a 5.5/10.

[JeeberD]

The Aviator: 6/10

Kinda dragged, and Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn just annoyed the hell out of me...

[Honolulu_Blue]

If I were a gambling man, I'd venture to say he probably missed a word like "concerned", as in concerned with making a movie like Rush Hour 7.
I know. I just thought I'd take the omission and run with it, because I find the idea of America being afraid of making "Rush Hour 7" pretty funny. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Eaglesfan27]

I have to be careful to seperate my review today and for the next few days from my happiness at finding a movie theater that shows decent (not too old) movies for 1 dollar/person with a decent movie atmosphere. To top it off, the theater is right next to the hotel I'm staying at.

Anyway, the majority ruled and we went and watched Madagascar tonight. Chris Rock was funny and saved the movie to an extent, but it was still just average at best. 5/10 for me. Mrs. Eaglesfan enjoyed it and gives it either a "6 or a 7 out of 10."

[timmynausea]

DVD - Old Boy - 7.7/10
It probably isn't quite deserving of some of the hype it has gotten, but on the whole I enjoyed it. I can see what ThunderingHerd meant about it being stylized to the point of ridiculousness. It is a bit silly in some respects.

[ThunderingHERD]

Bought <i>The Machinist</i> DVD used the other day. Watched it last night.

Was more or less expecting another poor post-Kaiser-Soze mindfuck attempt, but wanted to see it anyway cause of Christian Bale. I came away from it pleasantly surprised. The ending is rather predictable but doesn't pretend that it isn't. Somehow manages to be very intense and suspenseful even though we more or less know what the deal is. 8/10

[JeeberD]

Alexander - 2/10

Pure crap.

[moriarty]

Saw Sahara 6/10. Mindless, dumb entertainment (never having read Clusser's books, are his plots always this bad or did it not translate to a movie well?).

Having said that it was one of those have a few beers, turn off the brain, and enjoy movies. Definitely not an Indiana Jones though.

just came here to post about this very movie. I'd probably give it a 7, mostly because I had low, low expectations. and for Steve Zahn...he was pretty cool.

Cussler is fun...but his books can be pretty cheesy (in many ways like the flick - enjoyable if you don't look for much depth). Sahara the book is pretty silly from what I remember, but not quite as ludacrous (ping St Cronin) as some of the stuff in the movie.

didn't like Penelope Cruz and didn't like William H Macy as Sandecker. neutral to McConnaghey, liked Zahn and Rainn Wilson.

[Ksyrup]

The last movie I saw at a theater that wasn't solely for the kids (Nemo, etc., which I wouldn't go see unless I had a kid) was Me, Myself and Irene, which wasn't very good, and I only went because two events coincided - some friends were visiting from out of town and my wife took the kid out of town. What year was that movie? Like 2000 maybe?

The last movie I saw at home was Team America World Police, which I thought was great. I recall seeing Ladder 49 a few months before that, too, which is one of those movies with an ending I don't get. That kind of shit just doesn't "entertain" me in the least. Must be why I prefer music over movies.

Agreed on Zahn, he was the most enjoyable part of the movie, and I was neutral on McConnaghey as well ... he has a fun, but not too serious swagger. I like Macy in pretty much everything ... but yeah, Penelope was a bad choice (other than visual appeal).

Got some good laughs out of this one. Especially, the part where Jim brings over his soon to be in-laws and they are having a bachelor party at the same time. LOL, laughing just thinking about it. :D

[SnowMan]

Wedding Crashers, 9/10, was friggen hilarious

Anyways, the movies we went to see Saturday night....

Corpse Bride - 8/10

Flightplan - 5/10

[korme]

Ah, I wanna see Corpse Bride.

[mauchow]

I finally got to see Wedding Crashers this past weekend and thought it was hilarious. Plus, I have this strange fascination with boobies and there were plenty of those ;)
All of which are basically thrown into the first 30 seconds! :)

[mauchow]

And for probably the first time ever, I can honestly say I haven't watched any of the top 10 money movies at the moment.

1. No intention of seeing Flightplan until it becomes an MVP at Hollywood Video.
2. Corpse Bride - I want to see this, but I haven't decided when.... Hmm...
3. Just Like Heaven - Thank goodness my girlfriend doesn't want to see it yet. We'll prolly wait until DVD.
4. Roll Bounce - No thanks.
5. Exorcism of Emily Rose - Maybe on DVD
6. Lord of War - Ehh, prolly on DVD
7. 40 year old Virgin, I'll be seeing this at the dollar theatre for sure, then again on DVD most likely.
8. The Constant Gardner - DVD
9. Transporter 2 - DVD
10. Cry Wolf - Probably not.

[AlexB]

Watched the Bourne Supremacy the other night: undemanding action flick that is a perfectly passable way of spending two hours. 7/10.

[Desnudo]

The Jerk on DVD. 10/10

[rkmsuf]

It's a profit deal!

[QuikSand]

Transporter 2

If you take the movie completely at face value... 4/10

If you are able to find unintentional (?) comedy in absurd stunts and caricatured acting... 7/10

[johnnyshaka]

Madagascar...pretty funny...the Penguins take the cake. A little more geared towards kids than other animated flicks.

[chinaski]

Watched "Talk to Her" by Pedro Almodovar. Ill give it a 7/10. Its crazy, really too hard to explain. Its basically about two guys who lose the loves of their lives to comas, but its way more than _just_ that. superb acting and direction.

[mauchow]

Madagascar...pretty funny...the Penguins take the cake. A little more geared towards kids than other animated flicks.
I give that movie a 3/10.

It had potential, but why'd it have to be so 'out there'. It was just too much.

[moriarty]

I have "Layer Cake" sitting on top of my DVD player. Anyone seen this yet? Is it worth a Friday night viewing?

[RebelMan]

Beyond The Sea 9/10

Excellent acting by Kevin Spacey.

[Easy Mac]

I have "Layer Cake" sitting on top of my DVD player. Anyone seen this yet? Is it worth a Friday night viewing?
Its average. They pimp it as "from the producer of lock stock..." but thats about it. Its not a Guy Ritchie movie (the guy who actually did lock stock and snatch), but like one of his lackeys. Its a ganstah tale, but a pretty mundane one at that. It could probably hold your interest, but the lead wasn't nearly as engaging and there really wasn't an ensemble to speak of. And no Jason Statham. But there is Sienna Miller in very, very little clothing, so its not a complete waste.

4/10.

[Lorena]

Hotel Rwanda 9/10... this movie haunted me like nothing I've seen since Schindler's List. Don Cheadle was riveting and the gal that played his wife was SOO good! Anyone know who she is?

[Easy Mac]

Monster-in-law... it caused me to have a panic attack... at least that's my theory. god it was awful.

2/10

Cinema: Four Borthers - 6.5/10

I liked Saw ... perhaps because I knew absolutely nothing about it going in and was pleasantly suprised. Although the ending was kind of overly done. I think they're making Saw2 alrealdy.

[Bad-example]

What the (Bleep) Do We Know?

I found this movie to be absolutely unique. It combines animation, live action and documentary to explain the basics of quantum physics.

4/10.

Finally got around to watching it, and I apparently liked it more than you did.
I give Layer Cake a 6.5.

I think it helped that I wasn't expecting a Guy Ritchie movie coming in. The plot is a bit convoluted (and questionable at times), but I like the genre and like the movie. Not real sure about the ending though.

BTW Sienna Miller was a nice treat. Who is this girl, and where may I have seen her before (more importantly where can i see her again?).

[purplepee]

Funny Games- 9/10
Its um...very fun. I've seen this film many times, but I like to watch it at least once a year. Its a german/austrian film made in 1998 and directed by michael haneke. I showed this film to my girlfriend when we first started dating. She told me I was lucky this wasnt the first movie I showed her or she never would have kept seeing me. Its pretty disturbing.

[TazFTW]

Batman Begins 8/10
Infernal Affairs 8/10

[terpkristin]

Serenity 2/10

Plot was see-through and I had predicted the upshot of the movie within 15 minutes of the start. Tongue-in-cheek humor was overdone and WAY too much flash & trash fighting to make up for lack of plot.

BIGGEST WASTE OF $10 THIS YEAR.

top 3 ever for me. man, what a movie.

[timmynausea]

Suspiria 6.5/10 - I liked the score and imagery, but the acting was awful, and the story basically sucked. For its time, it was definitely good, though.

[Schmidty]

Suspiria 6.5/10 - I liked the score and imagery, but the acting was awful, and the story basically sucked. For its time, it was definitely good, though.

Who cares about acting in a Argento fick?!? He's all about style, colors, visceral fear, etc. Then again, I'm an Argento junkie.

The last movie I watch (watching for the 8th time) is "What's up, Tiger Lilly?". A lot of people, including my wife, think this movie sucks, but I laugh until I cry every time. :)

9/10

This is possibly the best foreign film I've ever seen. Or maybe second to Amelie, but still way up there. Highly recommended by me.

[timmynausea]

Copycat - 5/10
This one was on tv last night. It was kind of a lame, cliched semi-rip-off of Silence of the Lambs, and it seems even more silly considering Seven came out the same year, covering a lot of the same material, and blowing this one away. A decent cast keeps it from fully slipping into suck.

[Dekanth]

Batman Begins, 7/10.

[Rasmuth]

October Sky - 9 of 10

[Draft Dodger]

I just watched Shanghai Noon. 3/10
way, way, way worse than I thought it would be. Whatever Wilson idiot was in that makes Keanu Reeves look DeNiro.

I really liked Batman begins 8.5/10. As a stand alone movie, it probably doesn't rate that high, but compared with the earlier Batman crap films it gets an extra bonus point or two.

[Flasch186]

High Tension 6/10 but scary as hell, and gory

[chinaski]

The 40 Year Old Virgin - I think i was expecting waaaay too much, 6/10.

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle 7/10

way better than I expected, with many LOL parts (and a few lame parts). some great lines..."shotgun anus" probably being my favorite.

way better than I expected, with many LOL parts (and a few lame parts). some great lines..."shotgun anus" probably being my favorite.

Great bit part by Doogie Howser as well.

I saw 'The longest yard' remake and give it 5/10. Almost all of the funny moments were shown on previews (guess that's what you get for waiting on Netflix) but it was harmless enough entertainment. I thought Michael Irvin actually did a decent job, but it's just so hard to take him seriously.

[timmynausea]

Alien - 9/10 - I hadn't watched this one since I was a kid.

Aliens - 6/10 - I'd never watched this one before. I had always heard that it was better than the original. It wasn't. Basically, the first half starts out decent, but as it goes along it becomes a standard action movie. It seemed really cliched, but I think this might be the movie that started all the action movie cliches. I was pretty disappointed.

The Dead Zone - 9/10 - This is probably my favorite Stephen King adaptation.

[Sublime 2]

A History of Violence - 8.5/10

I really liked this movie! Odd sex scene...overall lots of graphic content and a solid movie!

[LoneStarGirl]

I watched 'Taking Lives' with Angelina Jolie 7.5/10 but with a GREAT sex scene

Watching Million Dollar Baby right now, soo far its great, 9/10, but it still has an hour left.

Tomorrow we are watching Family guy movie, and Anchorman

[moriarty]

Watching Million Dollar Baby right now, soo far its great, 9/10, but it still has an hour left.

The Longest Yard - 9.0/10
The Amityville Horror - 7/10
Batman Begins - 9.0/10

[Schmidty]

"High Noon" - 10/10

Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly, well-written, well-acted, old fashioned heroes and villains. What more could you want?

It also has an actress who I consider to be one of the most exotically beautiful women I've ever seen - Katy Jurado:

A History Of Violence-7.5/10...Good fight scenes/gore. I thought both of the sex scenes were strange

[Lorena]

A History Of Violence-7.5/10...Good fight scenes/gore. I thought both of the sex scenes were strange

Oh yeah, I forgot about this one. I give it the same score - 7.5

I didn't get the sex scene on the stairs either.

[Easy Mac]

Comedian - It was fairly insightful but otherwise pretty boring, and the Adams kid was annoying. 4.2

The Longest Yard (remake) - Never seen the original, I know blasphemy. It wasn't a horrible movie. Had some funny bits, kind of like a poor man's Replacements. Nothing that gave me guffaws. 5.2.

[sabotai]

DVD: The Devil's Rejects - 7.5/10. Thought it was better that House of 1000 Corpses.

Movies: Jarhead 8/10. Very good movie. Not a lot of action, more of about interaction between soldiers and them dealing with training and isolation in the middle fo a desert, plus a lot of comedy in it too. Very good movie IMO.

[kiwiLB57]

Last two movies I saw were "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" and "Serenity"

KKBB has a rather chubby Val Kilmer and a whacked out looking Robert Downey Jr. 8/10. I had heard nothing about this film going into it so it turned into a nice surprise.

Serenity was another nice suprise. Got dragged to it by a couple of friends from Minnesota who are nuts on the TV series (which name alludes me as I have not seen it).

[ThunderingHERD]

Crimes & Misdemeanors - 9.5/10

[duckman]

The Aviator - 8/10

[JonInMiddleGA]

Saw Chicken Little last night.

Genre considered, I'd give it 7/10.

[Airhog]

The girl next door - 7/10 Not spectacular, but a few moments had me laughing. Nice plot twists as well.

Sideways - 9/10 Loved this movie. Great acting, was a damn good movie.

Racing Stripes - 6/10 Not a bad movie at all. More of a kids movie, but the voice acting for the animals was well done.

Meet the fockers - 7/10 I think this sequel was pretty good. Not spectacular though. I do enjoy watching Dustin hoffman though.

[moriarty]

Just saw:

Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy: 4/10 I didnt' read the books, so maybe I didn't enjoy this as much as others.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: 5/10 Someone mentioned to me before I saw it that Depp was acting like Michael Jackson. Unfortunately I couldn't get past this thought as Depp did act very 'femine' throughout, and I kept expecting him to touch the little boys. Yikes.

[Anthony]

Walk the Line - 9/10. Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor. great singer too.

[Lorena]

Team America: World Police - 9/10

Jesus titty fucking Christ, this movie was awesome!! It was politically incorrect, crude, twisted, but what do you expect from the makers of South Park?

[cthomer5000]

Have you read any of the books, ct? What kept the movie from being better in your view?
I've read the first 3 books, and re-read this one just a few months ago, so i was quite familiar with it going in.

I felt there needed to be a bit more of a realistic sense of fear from the kids in the movie... it just seemed like they hardly grasped the seriousness of what they were being faced with, while i felt that was a bit more present in the book. Then just some minor technical gripes here and there. It was just a tad too clean for my tastes, but worth seeing i would say.

[terpkristin]

Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire: 9/10.

Having read the books, I could easily identify things that they either removed or changed to make the movie flow a little better. Some of the things I think were important, though, so that's really the only reason I'm knocking it down. It was otherwise great, Finnes was awesome as Voldemort, and I look forward to seeing it again over turkey day weekend. :)

Theatre: Saw II, good little flick, like the first. I could see a massive like 10 part series like Halloween here. 8/10 for what it is.

Rental: Sleepers. 7/10, good movie.

Re-Animator : Hard to rate... 3/10, I suppose.

Re-Animator is probably a 9/10 for me.

Princess Mononoke
8 /10

Action & Adventure, Animation, Foreign

multi-layer with message, every side gets a point of view. it's an japanese animation so the story line is out there but a good movie, and thanks to a 20 mill budget they a great job visually

In the theater... Just Friends. For the category it falls into I would say an 8/10. It is pretty damn funny, atleast to me. Nothing raunchy really in the movie as far as the gags go, which I thought might have been the case going in. Some funny stuff though, it had me in tears at one point which surprised me.

Layer Cake... 7/10

Very well shot, and a solid performance by Daniel Craig. Though I don't care about the James Bond franchise, I felt he would do the role justice after seeing this movie.

And Sienna Miller... my oh my.

Collateral 7/10

not horrible, not great. about what I expected, I guess.

Crimes & Misdemeanors - 9.5/10

I think it's a serious contender for best movie ever made.

We watched Infernal Affairs (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/), which was regrettably dubbed rather than subtitled, but pretty good nonetheless. I had heard really good things, and was slightly disappoitned, but the plot idea is very compelling -- Hong Kong underworld and police each have a "mole" planted on the other side, and they are both essentially racing to figure out who is the other side's mole first, to save themselves.

From the imdb link, I see that this is on its way to being remade/butchered by Hollywood... but I am buoyed by the names Scorcese, DiCaprio, and Damon being attached, so perhaps there's hope for this one to turn out well.

Anyway, the original gets 7/10 for me... might have gone a tick higher with subtitles.

I just watched "Vlad" last night. I'll give it a 3 out of 10.

It was a real stinker. It has a bunch of college students from our current time visit transylvania for background on research papers. Of course they run into Vlad and there is a fight over an ancient piece of jewelry. It turned out to be really silly and of B grade quality.

Coach Carter - 8/10

In the past few days I've been murdering movies I had never seen before, crappiest to best:

Out Cold
TomCats
Raging Bull (great reviews, but so boring to me)
Without A Paddle
Monster
Stand By Me
A Clockwork Orange - love it

[korme]

Barry Lyndon - 5/10: A few good parts, but Kubrick sure does know how to drag out his movies.

Can't believe it took me so long to see Vanilla Sky - 8/10, though. Man, what a great film, I can't believe people were so on the fence about it.

The concept is great.. spoiler:


Given the choice, would you rather live a dream (with consequences) for eternity or deal with a normal life and mortality?

Northfork - Shit Sandwich.

[Karlifornia]

Puddle Cruiser-5.5

Broken Lizard has put out one in the "shitty to average" range (Club Dread) one in the "average" range "Puddler Cruiser" and one in the "well above average" range (Super Troopers).

Just watched Adaptation with Nic Cage. I can't decide how to grade it. It was at times funny, introspective, and never boring, but at the same time I can't figure out why I feel underwhelmed. I don't know. 6.5/10

[MrBug708]

So I finally got around to watching Fight Club

Lame. Ass. Movie.

Adaptation is awesome. It loses a lot of people in the last third, but that is kind of the point as Donald starts helping Charlie write the script so all the movie cliches come in (drugs, guns, chase scene, happy ending). The end kind of works better conceptually than it does within the context of the story, but I still really like that movie. It's among my favorites.

I loved it and I hated it. It was the best and the worst. Meryl Steep is a dirty whore.

Are you kidding? Fight Club is amazing. So many great one-liners.

Saw "Constant Gardener" the other day... wow.. 9/10

Intelligent, thrilling, interesting and great photography.

I recommend it to everyone.. Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz
