So bad

I didn't think it would be good I thought it would be terrible. (having a hyperactive case of morbid curiosity is generally a bitch) and I manged to get more than I bargained for. I mean I knew it was bad but it was a whole new level I was unprepared for. (and half of my movie collection is exploitation films so terrible movies are the norm for me.) also I cant have an informed opinion without witnessing something for myself... no matter how much of a shit-stain it is. I just wasn't expecting Dragonball: The magic Begins, the Taiwanese rip off of the first dragonball movie to be better than evolution.

Checked out White Irish Drinkers on Netflix the other nights and have to say it was one of the better movies I've seen in a long time. Really great movie about a kid trying to get out and do something with his life. There's a lot going on in the movie, but that's what stood out the most for me.

I should have listened to the reviews for this one, but I rarely turn down "scary" movies, especially if they're paranormal. Episode 50... Shit sandwich. They should have spent less on high quality cameras and spent more on getting decent actors and a better story line. It seemed extremely random, really weak and cheesy, supposed, creepy moments, and the fantabulous actors spend more time giving off the, "if you catch me from this angle, I can show off my lame tattoo... how's my hair look? is this men's small t-shirt too big? I knew I should have visited the teens section!"

People were saying it's similar to Grave Encounters. Umm... not even close. Episode 50 sucked on all levels, except for quality cameras the used. Anyone questioning this movie feel free to pass on it. The first hour, out of maybe an hour and a half, is extremely boring. I found staring at the wall to be a bit more entertaining.

Went and watched snow white and the huntsman. Pleasantly surprised, it felt like just the right length, though the apple sequence was a bit short and lacked some explanation, but the effects were cool. Overall a good watch and would recommend.

mcleanab · 06-06-2012, 07:38 AM

Recently watched:

BRONSON with Tom Hardy... strange and VERY intense.
WARRIOR with Tom Hardy... okay... the scenes with he and Nick Nolte are incredible.
INCEPTION... okay... the fights in the hotel were awesome. Waited a long time until the hype wore off.
AVENGERS... typical, incredible, awesome Joss.
ALIEN... counting the hours until PROMETHEUS.

Blake1970 · 06-06-2012, 07:54 AM

Picking up season 4 of True Blood. I wait for the DVD's to come out and than spend the weekend watching all of it.

I'm also super stoked for Prometheus.

I rewatched the Chirtopher Nolan Batman movies over the weekend in one sitting. I wanted to get them in and refresh myself on them before the third one hits next month. Such epic pieces of work those movies are.

Yer gonna hate me... I much preferred the Tim Burton BATMAN and BATMAN RETURNS. The others in that series were just awful... I thought the Nolan's were okay and I'll never pass up a superhero flick (yes, I even watched DAREDEVIL... ugh, it should have looked like SIN CITY!!), but they were just a bit too stoic and serious for my tastes and try to be a bit 'real' for my growing up on comic book sensibilities... But, I'll go see the third for sure.

USMarine75 · 06-11-2012, 08:16 AM

I just finally saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I had heard bad things about it, but I absolutely loved it. Good plot and loved the Damn Dirty Apes reference!

TiVo'd Blade Runner (Final Cut) last night... planning on introducing the wife and kid to it's greatness tonight!

Yep, me too. I heard nothing but bad things prior to seeing it, and I also was afraid because I LOVE the original movies, and hated the Tim Burton movie with a passion. But this one was really good!

Do it. Blade Runner is amazing!

MFB · 06-11-2012, 11:32 AM

I thought "Rise [...]" was rather well received by people, and don't remember hearing anything bad about it? I know I saw it opening weekend and found it to be a great start to the series, and more deserving of being made than the Marky Mark one from 2001ish.

Ditto, I heard nothing but good things about Rise of the Planet of the Apes when it came out. I quite enjoyed it myself.

The only thing that bugged me was the money-obsessed villain type dude that owned the biomedicinal (is that the right term?) research place that the protagonist worked at, as he seemed more like a caricature than a real person, which was a shame because everyone else in the film seemed pretty well fleshed out.

Other than that, I thought it was a great movie. Andy Serkis kills it, as usual.

Korbain · 06-13-2012, 12:05 AM

Watched terminator 2 on blu ray the other night...epic. Nothing more needs to be said lol That movie will never get old!

Also watched The Prestige. First time i watched it, heard so many good things about it and just kept forgetting. So annoyed I did, what an amazing film!

I was mainly talking about people in my direct surroundings. And therefore, it may very well be that the bad reviews were related to a maybe bad synchro. Quality of synchronizing (movies, series, etc.; translation of books also) to german has really gone down the shitter and the last years, to an extend, where I think a big part is almost unwatchable and really ruins it. Also a big reason for me why I started to watch and read most stuff in original (with subs, if necessarry).

MFB · 06-13-2012, 11:55 AM

Ah, yeah dubs can ruin movies if there's enough of the not syncing/bad voice acting that it could ruin a movie so I could understand that affecting foreign versions. I know I've started watching foreign movies and would rather read subtitles and hear the emotion in their voice and still be able to get what they wanted to convey than hear a bad English overdub like early animes did.

Jakke · 06-14-2012, 03:18 PM

Just saw "Knocked Up", pleasantly surprised to see Ken Jeong starring

Enjoyed that one too, despite the violence, good acting though.

MFB · 06-25-2012, 03:25 PM

Went to the movies on Saturday and caught "Brave" with a buddy of mine and I really enjoyed it. Despite what the trailers show there's FAR more to it and I'd recommend everyone see it but then again I'm an animator in training so I do have a SLIGHT bias for Pixar and those sorts of films.

Lukifer · 06-26-2012, 06:59 PM

Ok. Best Zombie movie ever........GO!

My fav so far is shaun of the Dead!

kimmstreep · 06-28-2012, 05:37 AM

ghstofperdition · 06-28-2012, 06:25 AM

Thor
Zombie Strippers (C list zombie movie that has terrible acting, an atrocious plot, and a scene where an infected stripper stuffs her cooter with pool balls, and then shoots them at the survivors. This is worth watching at least once, and probably only once.

)
The first 3 1/2 seasons of Ranma 1/2.

The Crying Game
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the 70s version)
Valkyrie

-JeKo- · 07-01-2012, 11:39 AM

Can't believe I've missed the Blues Brothers movie. Anyway, going to watch it tonight and fill that void in my lacking 'watched movies' -category.

ghstofperdition · 07-03-2012, 10:01 AM

Freddy Got Fingered. Okay so some of the humor has lost it's charm, but I still crack up laughing at this one.

Boondock Saints. Norman Reemus is very sexy indeed!

It's okay for a dude to think another dude is sexy, but not actually fantasize about them or anything. :P

But yeah I gotcha.

Haven't watched anymore movies lately. Must catch up on all the back episodes of breaking bad!
