Horrible Bosses was pretty horrible.

I havent seen the new Sherlock Holmes yet, but thought the first was a good and fun action flick. Why its called a sherlock holmes movie though i do not get.

Built in fan base sells more tickets.

The Color of Money

Not even close to being as good as The Huslter. Seemed like it was one of those movies where they combine a respected older actor that the industry feels won't bring in a big box office, with the new star to increase the box office draw.

It wasn't a horrible movie, but being linked to the original, it really needed a better story.

I'm a big fan of Scorsese, but this is the worst Scorsese movie I've ever seen.

whoah, we're usually in synch on movies, but gotta disagree herenothing epic or anything, but TCoM is solid

Never really heard negative feedback on TCoM until this thread.

Contagion: Pretty boring. It seemed to be a fairly plausible situation and the film didn't add anything outlandish... maybe it should have. No interest in any of the characters. 2/5

The Inbetweeners: Kind of a British version of American Pie. Plenty of good (and very vulgar) laughs. Typical coming of age movie where a group of 'losers' go on vacation after high school and try to get laid. 3.5/5

Warrior: Fantastic. Even with the hype behind it I had low expectations. I was expecting either the MMA fighters to ruin the acting or the actors to ruin the fighting. Thankfully there was no acting from Rumble, Marquardt or Angle. Very good storylines behind both the brothers and father (a little heavy on the war hero stuff though). The fight scenes were far, far better than I expected. Very realistic IMO. The sound for the fights was another big bonus. Pretty sure Warrior >>> Rocky. 4.5/5

Went to see "Sherlock Holmes" with the in-laws yesterday. Fun but utterly forgettable. Waste of everyone's talents really.

Also, caught "hangover" sequel with my wife and her family. Um, not so good. Tired and predictable all the way through. Obvious cash grab for all parties involved.

Rented that and REALLY hated it.. It was not even close to the first one.. I think we 2 maybe 3 times throughout.. just not funny.

 

[jamny]

I had high hopes for Midnight in Paris and while I did think it was good, it fell short for me. I'm not a big Owen Wilson fan but this seemed right up his alley. He came off even whinier than usual. Too much of a disconnect with his fiancee and her family and he accepted his strange situation too readily. Beautifully shot and some good performances but I had hoped for more. Plus, he's a Hollywood scriptwriter, not a nobody...snap out of it! 2.5/5

That would be one or two more times than I laughed watching the first Hangover.

I've spent way more time deciding if I liked that movie than it probably deserves. It is incredibly slight, as even Allen himself seems to admit through his mouthpiece ("I'm having an insight, admittedly a minor one . . ."). And the movie makes Ines a cartoon shrew villian (looks pretty kickin in a pair of jeans, though). But if I just look at it as a comedy that isn't really reaching for anything profound, it's undeniably fun. Hemingway says hysterically Hemingway things. Adrien Brody's Dali is funny. Marion Cotillard makes an agonizingly beautiful and inspiring muse. And Wilson pulls off Allen's voice without it feeling like a bad Woody Allen impersonation (*COUGH* Kenneth Branagah *COUGH*).

We LOVED the first one and watch it a couple times a year.

From the Hangover thread it is probably because we've never seen some of the movies others compare it to, so to us it was "new" and funny.

TCoM sucks if you saw The Hustler first. If you didn't, it probably wouldn't seem as bad.

The films are barely related and vastly different from one another and both are enjoyable. I certainly didn't think it would be a lightning rod in here.

Enjoyed this a lot as well, don't think I would put it over Rocky though. As others have said, Tom Hardy is a beast. Look for him in a drove of big budget actions films soon like what happened to Worthington in 2009.Still can't believe that was Tom Hardy in Bronson. A physical monster with this kind of acting range? Look out.

I thought this movie was horrible and it was horrible that Paul Newman won an Oscar for it

Performances (and movies) that were better in 1986:Michael Caine "Hannah and Her Sisters"

Willem Dafoe "Platoon"

I know many of those were supporting roles. Still...better.

Caine won best Supporting actor for that role, but I think Tom Berenger should have won for Platoon instead.

James Woods for Salvador was my winner in Actor category. Was this simply a "lifetime of snubs" award for Newman. Yep

 

[snogger]

Watched two movies over the long weekend off of ifc channel (Commercials, but unedited so can't complain too much)

Swimming with the Sharks... This was not a planned watch.. Just happened to wander to the Chanel just as it started and it sucked me in..

Thought Kevin Spacey played an excellent "hole".. loved the times he seemed to be supporting Guy, only to have Guy find out he was screwing him over.

Also enjoyed how they ended it.

Lucky Number Slevin - Can't believe I missed this one when it was released Excellent movie..

Loved the twist and turns.. Really enjoyed the ending and how they returned to some of the opening scenes of the movie to wrap it all up. Will definitely watch this one again.

I enjoyed Gwyneth Paltrow dying. But yeah, this movie wasn't very good. It wasn't *bad*. It scored well on RT. I found it to be extremely boring. I didn't care what happened to any of the characters. By the end of the movie I was rooting for the virus.

Movie made me smile now and then but never really laughed. Agree on Wilson pulling off Allen's voice and that Cotillard was perfect. Didn't find Hemingway all that funny.If you watch everything, like I seemingly do, then you might enjoy this one. If you tend to pick and choose then I'd pass on this. It's a "nice" pic but you're not missing anything.

Max Dugan Returns I remembered this film fondly from when I was much younger and it was on CPLEX or REELZ or something like that this weekend and I stopped to watch it. Still a charming and engaging film to me. Robards is great as the con man with the quick wit and penchant for philosophy.

Good family film.

 

[Daywalker]

Colombiana.

Had some potential but a complete misfire. All the plot twists were just crowbarred in. Fight sequence with the towel was laughable. Just lazy writing.

Saldana was ravishing as always.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

Warrior.Went in thinking it could be a good flick. Had some surprisingly decent buzz. It was exceeded my expectations.The first hour was terrific. Was actually thinking I might like it more then "The Fighter." Really liked the characters. Wahlberg and Bale didn't become caricatures but the cast of Warrior felt more authentic.The second half was satisfying but the character development kind of tailed off as it was nearly non-stop fighting.Well all know Tom Hardy is going to be a star especially with him in a lead role in Batman. But geez you put this character next to the one he played in "Inception" and this guy is going to be a monster. His role in Inception not huge but he's just a completely different person in Warrior. Guy really is the next big-time action/drama actor.Edgerton was terrific in this as well. Although you could have probably gotten me to believe it was Sam Worthington with great makeup effects.I'd give it 3 out of 4 stars. It was real good but thought it could have been great with a few tweaks.

Spoiler

Probably budget concerns. But if they would have filmed and woven in the scenes of Hardy in the war it would have been well served. The scene with him ripping the tank door off and the friendly fire scene. Would have given Hardy more screen time and character development. Would have worked well in the second half of the film.The ending was satisfying but still thinking whether I would have wanted Nolte to throw the towel in at the start of the last round. Kind of like saving both his boys. Perhaps that would have been cheesy. Edgerton already beat up a lame Hardy in the 4th. Mabye something different in the last round? Whatever it was good still.

Watched this again. This time on a big-screen and surround sound. Made a big difference as far as the intensity of the last half of the movie. Song during the last fight was perfect and was much more satisfied with the ending after seeing it again.I'd put it ahead of The Fighter.Just saw this on Monday. Went in with no expectations and I was blown away. I cant recommend this movie enough. I thought it was great.

I guess you haven't seen Bringing Out The Dead.I love Color of Money. Have watched it 3X more than The Hustler.

However, it's as much about the game (9-ball vs. straight pool) that made it rewatchable. It came out when 9-ball was getting popular.

I saw Bringing Out The Dead. Very forgettable movie, but I don't recall thinking it was cheesy in the way that Money is.

Hey now, you're calling scenes like the "Werewolves of London"...cheesy?I don't even know if I was born yet so I have no idea what the critical appeal was for this, but Tom Cruise has always rocked as a movie star for me.

I'd agree for the most part. Cruise makes consistently entertaining movies.

 

[jdoggydogg]

Larry Crowne

Awful in nearly every way, and I tend to like Tom Hanks movies more than others. Pointless to cast Cranston, hopefully he got a fat check for that one.

1/5

I've always liked Hanks as an actor, but he is so overexposed at this point, I'd be fine if his movie career was over.

hmm, I was slightly offended at first, but you may have a point here. We truly have "seen it all" with him, haven't we?

I think Hanks could appear as a supporting character later in life. But this version is pretty played out.

I don't get the love for Warrior in here at all. I thought the plot was completely unbelievable and there was no suspense in any of the fights as it was pretty obvious who would make the finals.

Kind of funny reading through some reviews of Warrior. Pretty much every negative one, the reviewer says how disgusting MMA.

First for a lovely story on why I watched it this week (was going to get around to it sometime anyway). Last week I ended up having a dream that I was creating a human centipede. Woke up thinking WTF?? as I have not seen the movie, or even seen the trailer. Turns out I fell asleep listening to Now Playing's podcast of Blade Runner, and after that it went into the Human Centipede review while I was sleeping. Evidently that was enough to trigger that dream. Good times.



Human Centipede:

Can't tell if I was relieved or disappointed that this one didn't live up to what I thought. I think it was the latter. I don't think the movie went for the kill as far as taking the horror of waking up like this to it's logical conclusion. The movie starts off in typical horror movie cliche mode as 2 dumb girls get a flat tire, wander around the woods for help, and stumble on the psycho's house. The actor who plays the doctor was great, and was easily the best thing about the movie. The middle 20mins of the movie were actually quite good - there was a great scene where the Dr. was letting them know exactly what was going to happen to them, and then one of the 'segments' tries to escape and there is a good horror movie chase scene. After that it spirals into a campy movie about a man and his pet. Some laughable moments after the centipede wakes up. I think if a couple things would have been different, this movie would have been something:

Spoiler

1. Build the horror/suspense more. They did a good job when he was explaining what was going on, then he just makes them all at the same time. I think it would have been kick ### if they would have put us with one of the 3 characters. Maybe the dr. starts with two of them for the surgery. Build up the tension as the 3rd one realizes what is going to happen. Make it more of a surprise/decision if that 3rd part is going to be the head or is going to be eating some ####.

2. I am sure it was because of budget, but I thought they wimped out on the expected gross out scenes. Those people took it way too easily. I was expecting some ripped incisions, a lot more thrashing or reaction of having to eat somebody else's ####, etc.. As much of the build up was to this movie, the gore isn't to the level of Saw, Hostel, etc... which makes the fact they didn't capitalize on the build up even more disappointing.

Yep, that's a little too much thinking about this movie. I give it props for trying to be something different, but it ends up being average at best. 5/10

The military plot line was a bit much but the relationship between the three leads was certainly believable. Why would we want to watch a movie about the guys that didn't make it to the finals?It's like they flipped through the backstorys of UFC fighters and embellished and molded the lives and careers of Rich Franklin and Brian Stann to fall in the framework of their story. Rich went from being a middle school teacher to the UFC middleweight champ in less than a year. Stann was awarded a Silver Star for his military service.

 

[Apple Jack]

I don't think anybody is saying Warrior is an all-timer or anything. It was just a well-written, well-acted, and well-directed film. I think the response is based on people liking it more than they thought they would, and finding that in spite of it's well worn genre and predictability that it still got under their skin. It's good. La Dolce Vita, it is not.

The only one that fits is Rocky v Apollo. Cool Runnings was based on a true story so they couldn't change the outcome. And as said, Kingpin wasn't a sports movie.

Rocky doesn't fit. We did not know who was going to win the championship in Warriors, we just knew who was getting there. In Rocky they were both already there and we assumed who would win and they tricked us.

That makes sense. The story is not necessarily unique. But a decent story combined with spectacular visuals makes me recommend it.
