Movie Opinion Thread
« on: July 07, 2010, 11:34:11 AM »
basically a thread to say what movies you watched recently and your opinion, and if you recommend people seeing it. (NO SPOILER ALERTS)

The Messenger
really fracking depressing, basically it's about the guys in the military who have to tell families their soldier is dead. some disturbing/sad scenes, one decent sex scene. woody harrelson is funny in it, basically a depressed alcoholic who doesn't have many friends. rent it if you're in the "serious movie that will give me perspective" mood. was a good movie, overall.



Youth In Revolt
i rented this because a friend wanted to see it, and i had my doubts. it seemed like one of those alternative comedies that you had to be kind of smart to understand/like, in a different kind of way. i was right, kind of. but luckily, i'm a pretty smart guy so i fracking loved this movie. his alter ego francois was cracking me up the entire time. galifianakis didn't have as big a part as i would have liked, but it was okay. laughed pretty hard at the movie. enjoyed it. not sure if i'll ever watch it again, but i have a general positive outlook toward it.

youth in revolt was alright, worth the hour and a half.  have you seen The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It.  I am sure it sucks a$$, most likely like the Scary Movie series.

Watched Unthinkable this weekend with Sammy Jackson.  Thought it was a pretty dec suspense movie.

almost rented this a couple nights ago, but went with this instead:

Edge of Darkness
good flick. if you truly have a problem with gibson's hate for jews, then gtfoomf. i don't care about that. i only care about the movie. intense film, had some trouble understanding the english guy, but overall great acting. highly recommended. won't change your life, but you won't be mad about watching it.




Invictus
i was pretty much 'meh' about this movie from the beginning. it's about rugby, which i know nothing about. i knew morgan freeman was gonna kick ass, as usual. matt damon's okay. but it seemed like one of those sports movies that was gonna seem too fake to be likable. and i was correct. i never knew what was going on in the rugby games, and the interaction between the players in the locker room was too fake and terribly acted to get excited about. sure, the parts of the film that highlighted the fact that people were becoming less racist and getting along with each other were priceless, and i had chills and whatever because of it, but the movie as a whole was incredibly forgettable.

Toy Story 3 in 3D 

The movie was o.k. but not as good as the first 2.  Was a little dark and sad for a disney movie in my opinion, my 3 year old wanted to leave because it made him sad.  The 3D kind of sucked, no real cool effects, it really didn't add anything to the movie.  It would be worth renting I was a little disapointed with the theater experience.

I think this would be a good spot to talk about movies that have badass sound tracks.
But beware "Welcome to the Danger Zone" trumps all others.  :gocho:

Can't wait to see "Youth in Revolt" and see how unintelligent EMAWblast is.

Agreed. I was excited for this film but the whole time I felt like it was a half assed napoleon dynamite meets superbad.

I've been obsessed with watching seasons of Dexter lately



however I do get to see a screening of Dinner for Schmucks tonight..

It's a remake of a French movie.  Tres interassant.

I actually thought it was pretty fricken hilarious. Bit of a slow start but really picks up steam and has you rolling so hard by the end.

I liked it. Really didn't have much of a plot. But i laughed my ass off. Most likely a better DVD movie.

Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

 :star: :star: :star: :star: 1/2  :raccoon:

not perfect but still very good.  my only complaint was that there were a bit too many bullets flying for reality in a couple scenes. 
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I've refused to go to any movie with Ben Affleck (or John Travolta but that's off topic) since Good Will Hunting.  He is truly one of the worst actors of all time, in addition to being one of the biggest douche bags on the planet.

I this movie good enough to let all that go?  The previews look pretty awesome, but then I see his smug stupid face and just forget about it.
