I didn't dig Running Scared. Horrible acting by the lead actor Paul Walker.My BIL says Running Scared is so bad it's genius. He's rented it three times on pay-per-view. He keeps on trying to get me to watch it. I haven't given in yet.Jackass 2 was funny, but I almost puked twice.Pirates of the Carribian Dead Man's Chest: Makes you want to see #3.Running Scared: Great movie, even with Paul Walker in it.
horrible. made it about 45 minutes before I shut it off.Kate Beckinsdale is uber-hot, but it still didn't make it worth renting. It's just a bad rip-off of Family Man which was a bad rip-off of It's a Wonderful Life.Trying to find something the wife and I can watch together...I "usually" like Sandler movies and I am assuming there is some chick-flick mentality to it. Another plus, Kate Beckinsale is in it!
Rent The Aviator. Beckinsale's in it and the movie's good.Trying to find something the wife and I can watch together...I "usually" like Sandler movies and I am assuming there is some chick-flick mentality to it. Another plus, Kate Beckinsale is in it!
Not sure what it was, but I hated this movie. And I like Zach Braff a lot.
This question took me aback for a moment and I had to think hard about it; even discussed it with a co-worker before I replied. While much of the acting, editing and production truly was amateurish indeed, we felt that it was the nightmarish, and unique, view of society's slow deterioration into barbarity that made this movie so interesting. Mel's character was initially resistant to this decline, being vested in society via his hot wife and infant child, while Toecutter and the gay bikers represented the leading edge of humankind plunging into the abyss of amorality.That's all I got.Smoo said:

Disappointing. Pretty convincing editing.[carson]I did not know that[/carson]
It is genius, and you may tear up a bit. Walker is a horrible actor in this movie but it is very well written.My BIL says Running Scared is so bad it's genius. He's rented it three times on pay-per-view. He keeps on trying to get me to watch it. I haven't given in yet.Jackass 2 was funny, but I almost puked twice.Pirates of the Carribian Dead Man's Chest: Makes you want to see #3.Running Scared: Great movie, even with Paul Walker in it.
I know. Her face is in the shot and everything.
If they were trying to portray Mel as resistant to the decline, they didn't do a very good job. The opening sequence where he chases down the Night Rider after the other cops all fail immediately cast him as the "bad-###" cop who's already edgier and closer to darkness than the rest of them. So when they cut to all his family scene, they weren't believable to me because he was already the dark protagonist. So I found the rest of his "journey" completely preposterous and poorly thought out.
"hooker with a heart of gold" cliche down?
I'm not familiar with that cliché. The movie was still bad.I am going to try watching The Road Warrior, though, to see if it's any better. I expect it will be.
stop there. Don't go to The Thunderdome.
TWO MEN ENTER. ONE MAN LEAVES.
I still see it as a creative piece of filmmaking but maybe part of that is because I first saw it 27 years ago, not this week. The film did a good job of portraying everyday people trying to hold onto their humanity, even when there seemed to be no reward in doing so. Though there's no question that, even by 1979 standards, the production was pretty clunky overall.
thought we heard some footsteps at 3 in the morning, we thought about the movie and yeah....little freaked out....
I REALLY hated it, despite liking Garden State a lot.OK, I'm no longer a twenty something, but this didn't seem to be a movie about twentysomethings so much as a movie about cliches about twentysomethings. I don't mind a lead character who's a bit of an #######, but at least they could have made him an interesting #######.
It's a movie produced by Jimmy Kimmell and Adam Corolla I think. It was made a few years ago but I think just was released on dvd.Basically the whole movie is a gag on this strange aspiring actor named Perry. Perry thinks he just landed a starring role in a major motion picture. But the movie production is staged and it's all a goof.But...I think Perry is in on the joke and they're just trying to fool us.Either way it had me cracking up throughout.The Perry guy is either an idiot or very talented.
Well, I opened the door at grandma's house and watched Calvaire. I was a little disappointed...it certainly was disturbing and weird, but I was expecting something completely off the charts considering the reviews. Oh well, worth a shot anyway.
I thought it did a good job at character development. But ultimately, it was more of an art house thriller than a horror film.
Agreed.
It's much better. I never understood why they rated them the same except that Mad Max was the first one of that genre.
Wow. We have very different taste in movies, apparently.
and THIS was the Blue-ray movie that SONY bundled with the PS3?
Are you really questioning whether Nigel Tufnel has a sense of humor? Is it possible that the movie was subpar?
No. It was really funny.
I don't know, whoknew, I just didn't laugh much. I think Will Ferrell's pretty damn funny, usually, too.
