Official Movie Thread

We always have random movie threads so I decided to make this the official one. This thread is for asking for suggestions on certain movies, to review them, or to just to let us know a movie we all need to see.

Not the best movie to start it with but I just finished Wrong Turn 2: Dead End. The movie was exactly what I expected; a cheese flick with lots of gore. The plot is obviously lame, the characters are half ass, but the gore was excellent. I give it is a 6.5/10 for keeping me interested till the end and delivering exactly what I expected.

If I can find them I want to check these 2 out just for having such long titles :)

Supposedly like KungPow but horror based.
Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Terror

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 3

So what have you all seen lately or want to see?

Saw Cloverfield for the first time yesterday. Excellent. I think I have a short attention span because I start getting bored of films about 1 hour in to them even when they're good. Never got that feeling once. Actually didn't want it to end. Definately should have a follow up on what happens next.

About to finally watch 28 weeks later.

i watched a dreadful movie called nine lives.

Paris hilton was billed as a lead character but played a pretty minor role.. She played herself but with a differnt name.

Plot was horrible, Acting was horrible, the movie was way to dark making it hard to see at times.

2/10 for p-hilt side boob.

an all in one thread might be a bad idea for spoiler reasons.
Dragon Tiger Gate kicked ass.

hmmm good point.

I just watched 28 Weeks Later last night and enjoyed it almost as much as the first one. Not as good but it held its own ground with a completely different type of story and not just a lame continuation of where the last one left off with the same characters.

I just saw the new Indiana Jones.

All in all, it was a very entertaining movie. The ending was a bit too much, and the scene that had the transformer dude flying around the jungle Tarzan style was awful, though it made me laugh. But, I had to think about the previous Indiana movies, and in reality, they were the same, just entertaining, not great movies. I liked the movie, and I hope they do a new one....without that transformers guy, he was awful. I just hope they don't make him the new hip Indiana.

Oh, and the friend I saw the movie with complained throughout the entire film about how they mixed all central and south-american cultures together (like talking about mayans in Peru). I kept telling her...hey, it's Indy, what do you expect...but she kept complaining.

Trying to find a good horror again to watch tonight- just not sure what kind of horror mood I am in. Maybe I will finally get the CUBE series under my belt.

There is only one movie with Paris worth watching. Plenty of side boob in that one.

*****POSSIBLE SPOILER**********




what a snoozefest...it was entertaining in the beginning then things just started happening for the hell of it, lol. then it turned into ET toward the end and felt like x-files somewhere in the middle.

they shoulda left well enough alone. i wanted to support my man spielberg though so i had to go out and see it despite any bad reviews, etc.

i heard The Happening directed by m night shaymalan and starring mark walhberg is supposed to be a must see. comes out next friday. a few people have already seen it though.

Wait- did Spielberg really make Indy into a scifi? I swore if he put aliens in the movie I would write him off forever. Just like how he ruined Kubricks AI with that last 45 minutes of crap he tacked on :(

oops...

i heard the happening was horrible.

deathrace on the otherhand should be awesome.

wait- there is a deathrace remake coming out? oh god...


how about if you are going to talk about plot points or anything that could give it away you quote it and then say spoiler for the source? if a mod could put that in the first post with any other rules would be great.

i have a gut feeling it will be....whats deathrace? it's out already?

nah its a remake coming out soon, so far the early reviews are positive if you like a.) cars with guns b.)people getting killed in the most awesome ways ever c.) popcorn movies.

the only complaint im seeing is that it ends kind of abruptly.

This is England and Mischief Night are two of my favourites at the moment

Don't waste your time with Shutter. It was probably a combination of being tired and the movie but I fell asleep by the end. Same basic plot as Ringu, Ju-on, and The Eye. Yes the original Japanese movies not the american remakes. So far the only decent remake of this genre I think was The Ring and don't even both with Ring 2- bleh. Rings is interesting if you can catch that it's only about 15 minutes long but is a short made to go between 1 & 2.

3/10

i saw ju-on a couple weeks back. 100x's better than the Grudge. The Grudge was just horrible teeny bopper suspense crap. Ju-on, even though it seemed like it was shot on a VERY low budget had such a better feel to the movie. I really wish that Hollywood could get a grip that pretty films and pretty actors doesn't make a movie good. Ju-on/Grudge is a shining example.

The originals are always better but I wish these American directors would at least make the remakes entertaining to watch on their own.

Hollywood doesn't care. If you can take a crappy script and put Shia LaLohan, Lindsay Michele Gellar, Paris Marriott or whatever other clapped out tartlet managed to get a car exiting cooch-shot into perezhilton.com this week, then Hollywood wins and you lose.

do it. can't believe it's taken you this long. the first one is awesome!! they get steadily worse thereafter, but still.....

has anyone watched the A&e original movie Andromedia strain?

i just finished watching it on demand and it was suprisingly really good.

whats it about? what genre?

sci-fi killer virus genre

I skipped it because I was told it sucked.

June 24th... new Futurama movie, The Beast with a Billion Backs (oddest name ever)... I definitely want to see that. Even despite the ho-hum reviews... #2 out of 4 planned though.

I'm so there. IMO futurama is every bit as good as the simpsons.

2/10 for p-hilt side boob.

- Silver - you so desperate that U went through an entire movie of hers - just to see that ? Bleh !
BTW - p-hilt is flat chested !

i watch paris hilton movies for the same reason i read your posts.

Went to see The Hulk last night, same old ****e, the acting was terrible.

And what's the craic with filming the NYC street scenes in Toronto? You can clearly see that record shop sign...

were they supposed to be in NY?

Aye

so in a movie about a giant green monster the thing that broke the "reality" for you were the street signs?

lmao...

Hahahaha ;)

hulk sucked.

About to start Friday the 13th: Part 3- such a classic. I think 1 is the all time classic and 6 is just totally 80's cheese and love every minute of it.

just watched Funny Games (the remake) last night. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808279/

It's such a good concept, but was just made badly. I won't give anything away, but it could have been more creepy and suspenseful. Plus the sound of the movie was produced badly. There were A LOT of overdubs and they were very very obvious. I do have to say though, that it was cast very well. Tim Roth is very good, the 2 villains were perfect, and even the kid was a pretty good actor.

I really hope this movie gets made again, but with someone else directing.

Have you watched the original yet? They are both on my list. And sadly it sort of was remade with Strangers and that last remake was 2007 so I doubt it will get out there again for a while.
