I thought Definately Maybe was decent. Completely a chick flick but entertaining nonetheless.

 

 

Oh, I keep noticing how you don't like any movies, SD. Are there any you DO like? :P

He likes Uwe Boll movies.

He likes Uwe Boll movies.

 

Lies and Slander sir! HAVE AT YOU.

I don't know how someone could like any of his movies, after house of the dead you could hate his movies

Bloodrayne... nuff said.

 

 

*Cries*.  Please make him stop.  To be honest I thought he had something to do with the Doom movie.

Compared to a Boll movie, Doom was an Oscar winner.

 

Go sign the petition.  He said he would stop making movies if 1 million people signed it.  350K have already signed it as of 9-30-08.

awesome where do we sign up\?

Of course there is a counter petition that wants him to keep making movies... http://www.petitiononline.com/RRH53888/  It has 7,000 signatures.

 

I am watching Leatherheads.  This movie is not that good.  Mainly you can tell this that as I watch it I am checking things online.  It just feels... cornball to me.  Like three stooges cornball.  I would really give it a pass if you are tempted by it.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a Uwe Boll movie, but I signed anyway. My comment? " 'Chan supporter since '07"

I'm watching Sanctuary, other than the annoying fake accent I'm kind of digging it. Or maybe its the "spot the sci-fi actor!" game I'm playing. Either way its too early to say whether I'll really like it or not.

I'm with you on that, it watched like a who's who of Stargate and various failed pilots or short runs.

And farscape people?

I  have Santuary DVRed so when I run out of good shows, I will check it out this week.

 

I watched Hannabal Rising.  Eh... That was my feeling from it. 

I watched a little bit of HIMYM for the first time this weekend, and it was funny! I actually laughed out loud quite a bit, definitely more often than I expected. I'd suggest this for anyone looking for a new sitcom to explore. It's surprisingly good.

If you trust my taste in movies, I highly suggest watching The Brave One (its on HBO on Demand right now).  I watched it tonight and was blown away.  I mean, it could be because I had low expectations.  But I really felt that Jodi Foster did a wonderful job and that her Golden Globe nod was well deserved.

Yea, you'd like it! Its a chick flick! :P

JK, its not that bad of a movie, definately better then the shite i've seen in the past month. ;)

 

 

Okay then, the movies I've watched recently?

 

American Zombie[/i]

A mockumentary where they follow the lives of a few zombies.

It has an awesome premise imo, but it failed. A mockumentary is supposed to be funny! Its not supposed to be a serious attempt at something that isn't serious! Near the end it tries to go all blair witch on your ass. ;)

 

The Guru

Okay, this is not the mike myers the Love Guru, this is the Guru, came out several years prior to the mike myers one. And its not actually a bad movie at all. The reason I got it, is I saw about 45 minutes of it before I had to leave (to class <3 hour long lunches) so I 'had' to finish it. The ending is definately a classic. ;)

 

The Love Guru

IT seems to make nods at the above, while being a totally different movie, containing, Jessica Alba (She's not a horrible actor! She just gets bad roles/dialogue! Can't make shit look like strawberries!) Anyways its got its funny moments, and its dull moments, it seems to swing back and forth like a pendulum, all the while making penis jokes. Btw! HE stole a penis joke from the movie Baseketball!

 

Funny Games

This movie you love it and hate it. Its not a Love or Hate, its a Love AND Hate kinda movie! This movie won an award for 'best new director' or some such thing, and I saw the previews.

Basically the movie is about a couple & child being held captive in there home by a bunch of psychotic killers. Basically your normal torture & kill type of movie.

What makes this movie a love & hate relationship isn't so much it being a bad movie or having bad dialogue (its not bad in that department) It basically has to deal with the events that go down within the movie! When you watch these types of movies, they ussually follow certain rules.

Like the black guy always gets killed first, or the cheff, or the woman who lost her virginity, and the lady who survives last always gets revenge on the killers!

This is not the case. Infact, the movie goes so far as to actually give you a taste of that revenge giveing you a YES SHE KILLED THAT MOTHA-F***ER, and then it takes it away, it takes it away in a method so that it never happened to begin with! It is a Pyschological Thriller in everysense of the word, and they repeatidly break the 4th wall. Infact, you could say that the psychotic killers, are messing not with the victims heads, but with yours! You want to hate the movie because it doesn't follow psychotic thriller rules, but you love it, because it breaks the rules! Its not Cliche! Its not predictable! But we have become so ingrained with certain concepts in movies like this & others, that you EXPECT it to happen, you WILL it to happen, and they know this very well. I'd watch the movie if I were you, You are going to hate it, and you might just find a little love, Its the movie you love to hate to love & hate it!

Why don't you tell us how you really feel, SD? ;)

 

So I'll be checking out the Eleventh Hour, even if it looks like a Fringe rip-off, or vice versa.  I just re-watched AI and while the movie was kind of "Eh" I remember the ARG that came out before it was freaking awesome, and let me put my email address in the movie poster too, which rocked.

 

Iron Man is out on DVD and looking great on my TV.  I soooooo want one now though, can you feel the geek envy?

Good Luck Chuck.

 

So the wife was busy this weekend which means I had to get something that she didn't want to watch.  So I lowered my standards and went with this flick.  I mean... how could I pass up a Dane Cook movie.  Well Jessica Alba helps.  Or so I would have thought.  Let me save you the time and run this movie down for you.

 

Dane Cook continues to think he is funny but really someone should put him out of his misery.

Jessica Alba continues to think that he good looks will keep scoring her roles... because she certainly can't act.

In the middle of the movie there is a sexual position montage.  And wow, there were breasts like every 10 minutes.  So much so that I got bored and started posting my review online. 

 

However the best friend is funny for a being that guy that has no charm but thinks he is God's gift to women.  His best line trying to pick up a girl... "I'm here, what are your other three wishes".  That went into my rotation.  I mean... if I still had a rotation.

Yesterday I watched No Country for Old Men.  I know, I know, I'm late.  :P

 

Anyways, I'll just say wow.  Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones, and all the actors did ridiculously well.  In the gas station scene, for example, I could literally feel the tension in the air during the conversation (that's all I'm going to say, because I don't want to spoil anything for the very very few who have not seen this movie).  This movie is definitely one of the best I've ever seen, and I've seen a bunch of really great movies in my admittedly short life.

Hybrid, we are on the same page with NCFOM. 

Yeah.  Most people probably don't need that review, but you never know.  I have heard bad reviews of NCFOM, but mostly it's been by people turned away by the violence. 

Actually most people just don't get it.  It doesn't follow the cookie cutter movie mold. 

Yeah, I went on IMDB and checked out the reviews.  A lot of people gave unsatisfactory ones, mostly because they felt the film was an excuse for 2+ hours of Chigurh killing fest.  I don't claim to understand the movie, but just the fact that I could feel the mood and empathize with (most of) the characters.  Bardem was amazing just because he was so human and so alien at the same time.

Have I mentioned yet how much I love Life? Crews is my favorite Detective \o/
