Swam...I saw in an interview with WA on The Life Aquatic. One of the questions I had was whether Steve really was Kingsley's father. I got a bonner when i heard the question asked and then WA said..."I don't think we can tell from the movie"

I thought WTF is that?

What do you make of that answer. I mean he develops the characters and whether he was the father was in the plot to some extent.

I was disapointed to say the least.
I think what he's talking about is that the question of whether or not Kingsley is really Steve's kid is not really the focus of the story. The focus of the story is the personality of Steve Zissou, this guy who gave up having a normal life (including having a real family) so he could become a legend. It's a story about what it costs a person when he devotes his entire life to his career. The audience never finds out whether or not Kingsley is his son, because Steve never cared to know either.

But back to Darjeeling (SPOILER ALERT) ... These three guys go to India, hoping to have some kind of life-changing mystical experience, and they did. But not in the pre-arranged way that the Owen Wilson character wanted. Jason Schwartzman has his little affair with the Savoury Snacks girl, which completely changes him. Adrian Brody has that kid die practically in his arms and that completely changes him. And near the end of the movie, Owen Wilson takes the bandages off his head to show his brothers that he's vulnerable, he is not a monster, he's not indestructible. That was a pretty powerful moment, to me.

I cursor rolled

'Seducing Dr Lewis' French flic about a small fishing town trying to recruit a manufacturing plant, but first it needs to sign a Doctor.

No bombs, no Presidents in exploding 747s, just some good clean humor.

I give iron man a 9 out of 10. A popcorn Superhero action movie done right. Also solid performances from everybody, but especially Jeff Bridges. I thought he laid down a performance better than you'd expect for a movie of this type. Maybe he is "the dude"

Agree 100%. Favereau didn't try and make it overly "comic-bookie" but didn't try and make it overly realistic. I loved it. While a little old, Robert Downey, Jr. was a good choice for Stark. I wish there was a little more ass-kicking in it, but I survived. Also, unlike most superhero movies, he didn't take it easy on the bad guys and let them get arrested. He fucked them up.

Favreau dealt with the pg-13 issue as best he could in using the "you didnt see them die, but aint no living through that shit" casualty meter. Always tough to come up with an approach that works for everybody.

Iron Man is the John Daly of super heroes. I mean that in a good way.

I thought it was a solid movie in every aspect. Robert Downy Jr. seemed perfect for the part. I'm excited for the sequal.

One of the noteworthy things about Iron Man is that it's the first movie out of the newly created Marvel Studios. The filmmaking part of it is 100% Marvel and so is the lion's share of the profits. Probably a big reason why Iron Man was pitch-perfect as a superhero movie.

If they can follow on with a decent effort with the Hulk, Marvel will be flush with cash and set up to really start knocking it out of the park with a long run of superhero movies.

This article (http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2008/05/02/a-marvel-ous-deal.aspx) throws out a lot of numbers and breaks down the business side of it a bit. The bottom line being that things are looking very good at Marvel.

I thought it was a solid movie in every aspect. Robert Downy Jr. seemed perfect for the part. I'm excited for the sequal.
I saw this today too. A lot of fun. The story was so hilariously unfeasible as to be darn near insulting (how does that military guy get back and forth between Afghanistan and L.A. so quickly?) but it was a riot, and Robert Downey Jr. is as amusing as he is in everything he does.

P.S. you ever get the feeling that comic book heroes are the new American mythology? Like, young actors in acting school are gonna be like "yeah sure Hamlet is fun and all, but I really want to test my skills playing Batman."

Looking forward to Iron Man. I'm not a big comics fan or anything but it looks badass. In 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance' he was one of my two asskickers, I guess that gives me more hope for the movie.

(how does that military guy get back and forth between Afghanistan and L.A. so quickly?)

I'm not sure he actually went back after the Stark rescue. When they showed him in that command center later, could have been stateside. They do a lot of command and control stuff for iraq/afghanistan from here.

I just assumed the command center was stateside. I didn't even think about it being in Afghanistan.

ironman was one of the worst movies ive seen all year
what a piece of fucking shit

?

That's a somewhat strong reaction to a movie? Did Iron Man rape your sister?

You sure you're not talking the Fantastic Four movie, where the only good thing about it could be appreciated on mute when she wasn't invisible??

Even then it's tough to sit through...

The problem with Fantastic Four:
- Casting
- Writing
- Directing
- Acting
- Besides the Human Torch, the special effects weren't even that great.

So yeah. The movie sucked from every aspect.

ironman was one of the worst movies ive seen all year

You are wrong and have learned nothing.



:dismissed:

Everyone's just cumming over ironmans face right now. Theres all this hype and how ironmans the shit. sure it's cool, this genius made a robot in a cave and raped the talibans woohoo nationalism~

after that, it was all too much of "i want to save the people, fuck this industry." contradicting 2 ideas if you're trying to go fuck the talibans but we need to save the people. war cost us innocent lives. and they did a good job to portray that but the storyline, not so much.

there wasnt that much more action. Him going to back to save some innocent people, making him look like a hero. he goes back for revenge and kills the one leader. the f16 scene was cool. after that there was where he fights the betraying fuck. see, I cant even remember his name because the movie lost me. There are 3 stages of action and happen strictly in the intro, exact mid, and the end. after that, theres all this drama where pepper may have some feelings for tony, and shiet. love in this movie? get the fuck out, have ironman kill some more talibans or someshit, tha was what I was expecting. The trailer had the most action and basically killed it for me. I lived up to the hype and watched the trailer like 40 times.

weakass story line imo. you knew he was gonna turn on starks, from the way he looked too. he looks like the badguy.

I caught this on a holiday at 10pm with a paper due next day. thought i'd bandwagon this shit out but apparently, i shouldve just stayed the fuck home or watched Taken.

the Brown reporter was hot though, wanted more of her

You sound a little cross.

I can guess Cross doesnt like comics and graphic novels featuring Iron Man. Because most of the stuff he complains about were built more on that. Also I dont get the part about a weak storyline, but you wanted less of it and more action. Which would make it weaker then no? Hard muthafucka to please it seems. Only thing i can say is dont watch trailers 40+ times, wont help you out at all.

on a side note Taken looks good but doesnt hit stateside until september

weakass story line imo. you knew he was gonna turn on starks, from the way he looked too. he looks like the badguy.
I'm pretty sure that Jeff Bridges prepared for this role by studying tapes of Phil Jackson. I swear to god, that's exactly who he is in this movie.

But anyway you seem like the kind of dude who watches E.T. and when the bikes take off flying, you go "YEAH, RIGHT!"

What if you were to learn that Jamal Crawford had a bit role in the movie as one of the people at Stark? Would that change your opinion of the movie at all?

Is it weird that I thought of writing the same exact thing, Vinny?

I was going to say "You would have loved it if Jamal Crawford had a cameo." But I didn't want Cross to get worked up.

Nothing harsh is intended towards cross from anyone i dont think. In fact if thats how he feels all humor aside more power to him. its just a movie.

Would it change his opinion if Jamal Crawford was War Machine?

There's been lots of atrocities and shit done against our best interests using weapons we've sold. How do you think the Taliban came to power? Rambo went out there and trained the mujahadeen, remember? :)

Aside from that, though, Cross has a perfectly valid point, one that comic book geeks have voiced before. Iron Man often degenerates into weapons stupidity. Tony Stark says he's not going to make WMDs, except of course for whatever latest techie thing he's working on that gets compromised and used against him. Then he has to go into Iron War mode to save the day and keep the technology bottled up. It's a classic Iron Man storyline, and the movie was true to that, but it can quickly get stale.

OBTW, I liked Gwyneth Paltrow as a redhead *much* more than I like Kirsten Dunst as a redhead, which pushed this ahead of Spider-Man in my book.

My official position is that Iron Man required a lot of suspension of disbelief, but if you can do that, it's a really good summer blockbuster movie.

My two favorites were when he went ballistic on his escape and when he hit the wall in his flight test. Dead or crippled, roll credits.

each to his own.

yea v im not really a huge comicbook guy. dont enjoy them as much, maybe because i never read them when i was a kid.

xman was okay as well as spiderman 1 and 2 but this goes down as one of the worst along with fantastic 4.

Anyone see Pan's Labyrinth?

Just saw it. Pretty cruel flic.

Yea its labeled as a fairy tale for grown ups. Which is fairly accurate. Though a weed head or shroom addict might freak out watching it.

I really loved it. It was very sad, but an excellent film. Very neat take on childhood innocence. The ending was spectacular. It was as if to say, "the only way this cruelty makes any kind of sense is in some kind of elaborate fantasy world."

Mexico is booming with awesome film directors right now! Check out all these great movies that were directed by a Mexican director recently:

Alejandro González Iñárritu
Amores Perros
21 Grams
Babel

Alfonso Cuarón
A Little Princess
Great Expectations
Y tu mamá también
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Children of Men (awesome flick, if you haven't seen it already)

Guillermo del Toro
Mimic
The Devil's Backbone
Hellboy
Hellboy II
Pan's Labyrinth
The Hobbit (upcoming)

Mexico is fucking up everyone right now in the movies.

Besides The Life Aquatic and No Country, I only watch foreign. I'll check some of them out.

I hate hollywood movies. The endings seem so predictable to me.

I know what you're saying, and I agree, but actually a lot of those movies I mentioned are Hollywood movies, just directed by a Mexican director.

21 Grams had Sean Penn in it
Babel had Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett
A Little Princess was a Disney movie
Great Expectations had Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert de Niro
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - well, you know this one's British
Children of Men was another British movie with Clive Owen, Juilanne Moore, and Dame Judi Dench
Mimic was a thriller with Mira Sorvino
Hellboy - obviously a Hollywood movie
Hellboy II - obviously a Hollywood movie
Pan's Labyrinth - this was actually made in Spain
The Hobbit (upcoming) - Peter Jackson is still producing this movie and gave Gillermo del Toro the job after being so impressed with Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth

Oh please... the greatest Mexican movie hasn't even been filmed yet!

I was going to say that Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, Planet Terror, Desperado... soon, Machete) was conspicuously absent from Swami's list.

Robert Rodriguez is Mexican-American, not native to Mexico, and didn't learn Spanish until he was an adult. I love most of his work, but I was joking around. I don't need much of an excuse to post the Machete trailer. :)

Children of Men was an AMAZING movie. I need to watch it again sometime soon.

Children of Men was an AMAZING movie. I need to watch it again sometime soon.
There are several long scenes in that movie that were all done with one single camera shot and not edited, almost like watching a "COPS" foot chase. The entire coffeshop scene at the beginning of the movie, up to where the credits start, is one camera shot. The scene where he's running through the prison camp during the big gun battle is entirely one camera shot. It's fucking amazing that they could do that. Can you imagine how many retakes they had to do?

You mean OK-Go?

It's an incredible movie. I think it really got hosed at the Oscars because it took so long to get released in the US, and a bunch of other stuff came out on the same weekend. It's a bleak movie but it's full of tension. It's a story all about survival and what it really means to survive. This is the one thing I evangelize and pester everyone about - more people should see this movie.

I noticed that a lot of these Mexican directors get involved with stories that have to do with kids. "Y tu mama," "Harry Potter," "Pan's Labyrinth," "Children of Men" are all movies having something to do with childhood and growing up.

Re: Children of Men

I had never heard of it until I came across it on cable the other day and loved it. Check it out, it's on either HBO or Showtime right now. I kind of want to get the book now too, though I hear it's not that similair. Dystopian stuff fascinates me.

Thanks, maybe I'll check it out on the HBO On Demand this weekend.

Ok, then he can go in the honorable mention category :)


Children of Men... definitely worth your time to watch. After seeing him in Children of Men, Serenity and Four Brothers, Chiwetel Ejiofor (yeah, say that five times fast) has made my list of actors to keep an eye out for.

He's in Redbelt, which just came out this weekend I think.

Yea its labeled as a fairy tale for grown ups. Which is fairly accurate. Though a weed head or shroom addict might freak out watching it.

'A weed head' I can't stop laughing at that phrase. I've been around for a while now, and this is the first time I've ever heard 'weed head' lol. I can't even type it without laughing.

And no I'm not stoned.

http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie/250820/traitor?clipid=34215

New movie with Don Cheadle and Michigan guy Jeff Daniels. Looks interesting.

Diary of the Dead (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848557/)

This was a reboot of the Romero zombie franchise where he goes back to his indie film roots and does Night of the Living dead set in the era of youtube.

Occasionally ham-fisted signature George Romero socio-political satire? Check.

Shambling dead? Check.

Over the top guts, gore and splatter? Check.

Novel ways to dispatch a zombie when you thought you'd seen them all? Check.

Badass scythe-wielding deaf mute amish dude? Check.

If you ever liked a zombie flick, this one is a must-see.

Iron Man: 4. Disappointed.

Walk Hard: I laughed a couple times but fell asleep twice trying to watch it.

Walk Hard needs to have a sticker on it that says "Warning: Contains Actual Cocks."

'Death at a Funeral'

british comedy so it's at times 'subtle' and not your typical flic. but really, really funny stuff. definitely recommend it!

There were some incredibly annoying people in that movie.

Watched Knocked Up for the first time last night with Mrs. Baggins (I really watched it alone). It was alright. I'm a fan of the F word, but I'm not a fan of hearing it 120 times in a movie. That really shouldn't keep me from liking it though, because I love The Big Lebowski.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Really funny and didn't always settle for the same jokes every single time. Jonah Hill was a pleasant surprise. 8.5/10.

The Deaths of Ian Stone: 5. It got good reviews, and started well, but then I thought I was watching a Sci-Fi Channel original for the last 30 or so minutes. I give it a 5 because the movie was a 7 or 8, then it became a 2 or 3.

Sharkwater is an interesting well-shot "save the sharks" documentary, well worth watching if you're not looking for the stereotypical "sharks are scary" fare. I'm sorta bummed it didn't include anything about recent discoveries with sharks and asexual reproduction, even though it would've undercut the theme.

War, Inc.

It's basically a liberal porno version of Grosse Pointe Blank.

Wait, it's literally a liberal porno version of Grosse Pointe Blank.

Fun to see just knowing that from the get go.

"There Will Be Blood" = "There Will Be Bad Movie"

Are you serious? I loved that movie. DDL was off the chain. The milkshake scene was priceless. "Don't bully me Daniel!" LOL

He was good, but I just didn't like the character. It is possible that he reminds me too much of a guy I have problems with at work. I actually didn't like any of the characters and wanted the movie to be over about halfway through it.

And the ending was horrible.

Anybody ever see the movie "Kids"? I watched it in Sociology today, pretty fucked up movie, half the class left b/c they were "disturbed"...

wow america is soft. it was a dumb movie. but kinda made a good point about young people and sexual activity.

I thought so too, if indeed that is an accurate representation of what goes on some areas...

Yea, you dont need the movie to tell you about teen pregnancy and STD rates among youths. And these days theres the R Kelly factor of old men looking for their next girls gone wild and barely legal corruption.

Saw that a long time ago. It's really not too far off from some groups of kids out there.

What was the Sociology aspect?
Here's fucked-up horny idiot kids fucking?

Actually yea. Sex is a big part of social relationships and the reaction amongst youths is a subject on point with it. Not saying it should be the subject all year. But I do think its in line with studying an element society.

Question:

Was the nation really craving ANOTHER Incredible Hulk movie?

Question:

Was the nation really craving ANOTHER Incredible Hulk movie?
I actually liked the first one, i'm very lonely in that like though. But i woulda preferred they keep eric bana at banner, I thought he did a good job.

Here's an actor woodenly reading some lines for 30 seconds. Now here's 25 minutes of green screen and CG. Boring.

What is ... Jerry Bruckheimer films, Alex?

Craving a well executed Hulk movie? Absolutely. I just think it's a difficult thing to pull off and will be pleasantly surprised if this one hits the mark.

The challenge is to make a movie so good, so engaging that you don't lose the audience when the action starts and you take the actor off screen in favor of a big, green, CGI giant smashing things.

Marvel studios proved clever enough to leap that hurdle with Iron Man and the inside-the-helmet close-ups during the action sequences. Maybe they can pull something off for the Hulk

Whether hulk does well doesn't bother me. I want to see how they pull off captain america and the avengers connection from Iron Man.

The Happening: Don't........just don't

It's going to turn out the same as all his other movies. Welp, that looks interesting, then after you go and see it, welp, that sucked.

welp,

The Happening: Don't........just don't


20% on Rotten Tomatoes...brutal...

M. Night needs to start thinking about a new career path...

The Happening: Don't........just don't

wurd. the beginning and middle was okay, but it got repeititve but most importantly, the ending was shit. it just ended...

Big gulps eh?

Welp, see ya later!

Indy Jones sucked.

Are there any other young actors out there besides this LeBouef jerkoff?

That kid is in like every movie that comes out these days.

Reminds me of a young Keanu Reeves (not a compliment).

Except Shia can act...

I crack up every time I see that Hardball movie.

http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/thecrapening1.jpg

I talked to my friend about it... he said if you don't go in expecting much you can appreciate it for the comicality presented by all the ridiculous suicides. I will probably watch it once for that.

Quoted for fucking truth. Seriously, how in God's name is he landing parts in every third major movie?? Ridiculous, and made more so if you remember him from Even Stevens on the fucking Disney Channel.

Saw part of Transformers, speaking of...not a terrible movie but it got really, REALLY annoying when, every time the camera flashed over to Megan Fox, it would be either a) an extreme close-up of her face or b) an extremely flattering body shot. No complaints outside of total overkill.

I watched Blades of Glory for the first (and last) time last night.

I knew as soon as I saw Ben Stiller's name in the opening credits that it was going to be dog barf, and he didn't fail to deliver.

There was one line that had me laughing almost to the point of tears, though.

WE LOVE YOU DENVER!!

CITY BY THE BAY

JOHN DENVER

I crack up every time I see that Hardball movie.

i loved it and consider if to be one my favorites ever...i dont know if ur being sarcastic or not though.

i love it when you call me big papa now throw yo hands up in the air if yous a true playa

Are you being sarcastic?

i dont get the ben stiller hate, but oookkkkkaaaayyyyyyy. To each his own.

He zipped his balls up for a movie laugh. You can't say he isn't into his work.

Some Stiller is good... Heavyweights for instance.

I watched Blades of Glory for the first (and last) time last night.

I knew as soon as I saw Ben Stiller's name in the opening credits that it was going to be dog barf, and he didn't fail to deliver.
Stiller was a producer, and not otherwise in the movie.

You caused me to look that up because I was most confused.

i actually thought Blades of Glory was pretty decent, maybe becuase I never realized how big of a rack pam from the office had until that movie...

So today I saw Kung Fu Panda with my somewhat gf (working on it), and I gotta tell you, for a Disney/Jack Black production, it was damn good, it dominated the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, so if you have kids, I'd totally recommend it...

and I also watched 'Joy Ride' on FX, which was stupid

I usually enjoy the Pixar and such flicks, but was afraid Kung Fu would suck because of Jack Black. So that's not the case?

how was get smart with the rock and steve carrel?(sp)

not at all, Jack Black was perfect for the panda role...I was skeptical at first too, b/c most Jack Black role's are just stupid humor, but this one was a solid production

Believe it or not, I actually watched Superbad for the first time today...couldn't stop laughing at the part with the dick drawings. Was awesome in the beginning and became a little "meh" after that, but overall was as funny, if not funnier, than I expected.

WALL-E just got the best reviews I've ever seen. Straight A's accross the board. Maybe I'll have to take a look at it.

And Gutz will be happy to know that Wanted got pretty good reviews as well.

Fuck reviews, the movie was the most surprising entertainment i've had, more even than Motown's surprise feeling of 300. Never has a movie with so many "that's complete bullshit" action sequences been so fun to watch. I may have to check out the graphic novel now. This movie may have even beat out iron man(the violence always wins i guess).

how was get smart with the rock and steve carrel?(sp)


decent, if you expect a comedy all the funny parts are in the trailer, the rest is just an action movie

The graphic novel (with super villains winning over the good guys) is pretty different than the movie, but still quite enjoyable in its own way.

Wall-E = A++++, Highest Rating

I'll tell you what, having seen Kung Fu Panda and now Wall-E in two consecutive weekends, Disney is on a fucking roll...

the film is almost like it's aimed at adults, tremendous philosophy and IMO, one of Disney's masterpieces...

I feel like a child again...

Pixar is the Michael Jordan of the film industry...

they're making Toy Story 3 you know...

I've been wanting to see Into The Wild for a while now, but the fucking video store nearby sucks and has nothing... gonna hit up Blockbustahhh later today probably.

Isn't that like that documentary type movie, SDB???

It's based off a book that is based off a real person.

The graphic novel (with super villains winning over the good guys) is pretty different than the movie, but still quite enjoyable in its own way.
Yea I skimmed through the graphic novel, The movie is based on 1/4 of first issue in the series. Not the worst idea, stretching shorter stories(ala 300) seems to work out better than cramming longer stories(ala phoenix saga in X3) into the pot.

In Brughes is good. Good copy of it at watch-movies.net

Just got done watching Machine Girl.

Can't rate it, doing something like that wouldn't make sense. Much like trying to understand the supreme overkill of graphic beyond graphic violence. I will say that I found it to be hilarious. But when somebody gets shot so many times in the face all you see is their skeleton still getting shot in the face, you gotta applaud the sick fuck willing to go that extra 100 miles past the most violent american film.

download it.

just watched 'forgetting sarah marshall'. pretty funny but not ROFL or anything. mila kunis is hot as hell of course.

but be warned- there are about 3 or 4 shots of full frontal MALE nudity. NO female nudity but male nudity. it was disturbing the first time it happened but at least i thought that there would be some frontal female nudity coming but none.

there is a shot of mila flashing her chest but nothing to make up for having to see the naked dude.

And it's not really Mila's chest, fyi.

I'm thinking about checking out "Step Brothers" this weekend, anybody got a good read on it?

looks like its funny to me, but i don't know for sure, i'll probably see it though.

saw hancock and wanted. both films that i dont regret watching.

I know I'm real late to the party, but I just watched Sin City for the first time. Pretty cool flick, I'd give it a 8.5 or 9 out of ten.

Watched Se7en last night for the first time in a while. Forgot how bad ass the movie was. I'll admit, the ending did creep me out a bit.

is seven a horror movie? ive been wanting to check it out but never got a chance

Its not really horror at all. Its more of a thriller, all mental stuff.

There is plenty of gross in it though.

Psychological Thriller, alot of this supposed wannabe super smart psycho serial killer shit flooding the markets all really go back to Se7en. There is some graphic parts, but it's more or less a thriller. David Fincher's first time directing w/o sigourney weaver cursing him out everyday to change everything to her liking(see Alien 3).

Just found this amusing.

Watched a British movie called The Cottage, featuring Andy Serkis of "Gollum" fame. Think of it almost as a double feature. The first half of the movie is a contemporary British mob kidnapping caper, and the second half turns into an 80s-era slasher horror. It's not a GREAT movie, but it's pretty good and I was entertained, laughed a bit.

I'm not the only one....

Seven cracked me up. It's a non-stop riot.

Step Brothers is terrible. But I would absolutely do Mary Steenburgen.

Go see Melvin and Howard if you're a Mary Steenburgen fan.

I watched The Graduate last night on TCM. I have not seen that movie for 15 years. It was great.

Ted Turner is a lib.

Tahoe reads TCM as The Classic Movies

I saw a low-budget indie called Cyxork 7. Billed as kind of a low-budget Galaxy Quest, it ended up being even crappier than what it was trying to parody. The worst part was that it was actually engaging for the first 10 minutes or so, when Paget Brewster was in it. I spent longer than I should have waiting for it to get good again.

Any reviews on Pineapple Express?

My bro-in-law said that he lol'd in the theater several times.

Is that what you are looking for?

Good enough for me.

Absolutely hilarious. I was laughing very loudly on many occasions and I was not alone. The whole theater was cracking up. For what it is (a movie about potheads being idiots), its everything you would want.

Rented 21 last night. Solid movie. and Bosworth was looking hot as always too.

Why are potheads so funny? I'm not disagreeing with you, I just don't understand why I find them hilarious.

Really? I thought it was disappointing. She is not a very good actress at all. Also, the book was a million times better. But generally that is always the case.

I found it entertaining but I never read the book. I was referring to her looking good, not her acting skills.

Egh, she doesn't really do anything for me. I prefer someone with bigger boobies. Not a toothpick with raisins.

Proportionally, a toothpick with raisins has some pretty damn big boobs.

Bosworth was one of the many shitty parts of Superman Returns Shitty supporting cast(After Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey it the cast fell off hard).

you must be referring to the 2006 bosworth (with her weight issues). She looked pretty good in 21.

^^ Bosworthologist

Bosworth was one of the many shitty parts of Superman Returns Shitty supporting cast(After Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey it the cast fell off hard).
Parker Posey was miscast, as was Kal Penn. But Sam Huntington's Jimmy Olsen was spot-on.

Given the nebulousness of what Bosworth was given to work with, I have a hard time blaming her for what came out. Did she or did she not remember that she slept with Superman? Does she or does she not know that the kid has powers? She was given shit for a backstory.

On another note, I saw the straight-to-video WarGames 2. It's ok in the "bad movie" sort of way. If you go in thinking it will hold a candle to the original WarGames, be prepared to be VERY disappointed. The technology simply does not work the way it's presented in the movie, despite the director's commentary saying otherwise.

I also saw the straight-to-video low-budget Zombies: Anonymous, which was actually fairly decent. The premise is that zombies have their mental faculties when they die, so you have the living and the "mortally challenged". There's gore, some humor, some sympathetic moments for the zombies. And the lead actress is a cutie... think Buffy with a hotter body.

You Kill Me is about an assassin (Ben Kingsley) who's having a hard time of it. He goes into Alcoholics Anonymous and falls in love with a woman who's just a little off (Tea Leoni). It's not quite a romantic comedy and not quite a hitman kinda film and the pace meanders a bit and maybe Kingsley wasn't the right role for the lead (if Kingsley and Bill Pullman had swapped roles, that would've been ideal), but it's pleasant to watch.

Too much sympathy. Either way I dont care about that. she's not a Lois Lane. They should have got an attractive actress who yet in still embodied the not so attractive margot kidder's performance.

Not to interrupt the Bosworth discussion...

Saw Tropic Thunder this weekend. It definitely made me laugh periodically, but they tried to make it so stupid that it almost didn't work. Cruise, Downey and even *gasp* McConaughey were good in it.

I would say that if you haven't seen it, you can wait until it comes to HBO.

Too much sympathy. Either way I dont care about that. she's not a Lois Lane. They should have got an attractive actress who yet in still embodied the not so attractive margot kidder's performance.
I'm not defending Bosworth, but attacking the script. Lois Lane in that script is a cipher to the end. Lois Lane as portrayed in the comics and other media since the '30s is not a cipher. And it results from the script's idiotic premise -- Superman flies away for years for something that's pretty stupid, which is as un-Superman a thing to do as Lois being cryptic. The acting was better than the script, which says a lot about how bad the script was.

Enough venting... what's done is done.

I watched Disney's "Camp Rock" today. Pretty much the biggest let down in the world for an Original Disney Movie. I don't know how it drew the 2nd biggest cable audience ever back in June, the acting was brutal. The Jonas Brothers are a total disgrace to rock music. And it wasn't hard to tell that Demi Lovato (who, as an added caveat, is actually my cousin, twice-removed) was playing her first headline role in a film. Her acting was spotty and unexciting.

The fact that they are currently making a sequel, is depressing. When your a kid, Disney can make you more popular than God, but then the second you turn 21, they want no part of you.

We couldn't make this stuff up, could we?

I came home early from work and caught my wife watching this movie. I have been making fun of her for it ever since.

cloverfield.
holy fuck this was the WORST movie i have ever seen hands down. motherfucking hands down i am so pissed right now

Cloverfield was terrible if you were expecting anything more than a terrible monster movie.

Two Champions Of Shaolin starts off slow and is a little long, but there's some good fight scenes as the movie goes on. The dub is a little garbly, but who cares about words when you're seeing someone's balls get ripped off.

Psycho Kickboxer is a low-budget movie made in the late 90s that feels like it could have been made in the 80s. It's so bad (especially the acting) that it's quite entertaining, and there's not much plot to spoil the action. Kickboxer's fiancee and father is killed by big baddies in front of his face, so he becomes a Dark Angel (sometimes wearing a ninja costume, even) to get revenge.

I finally saw Black Book, which is a masterpiece! Normally, I have a problem with movies with just subtitles and no dub, an inability to pay attention and do casual tippety-typing on a computer at the same time. But Carice Van Houten is just... WOW. Verhoeven's commentary is worthwhile for anyone who really wants to know the history, too. Thumbs up!

Pan's Labyrinth. Fucking awesome. 9.5/10.

The Golden Compass: notsomuch. I thought it sucked. 5.5/10

I read Golden Compass and saw the movie too. The book was way better. That book has two sequels that are much better even than the first book.

Pan's Labyrinth. Fucking awesome. 9.5/10.

The Golden Compass: notsomuch. I thought it sucked. 5.5/10
Agreed. Pan's Labyrinth is probably the greatest foreign drama i've ever seen. Golden Compass as an idea movie and book never moved me. Though I can't say the book is bad writing, it just didnt keep me interested.

Yeah, I never read the Golden Compass. But... that movie was terrible. Pan's Labyrinth, on the other hand, probably the best movie I've seen since Gladiator.

Pan's Labyrinth was truly great.

The "His Dark Materials" books are actually really great. I didn't like them so much at first because I thought the author was trying to do too many "fantasy" things at once - pseudo-medievalism, animal familiars, alternate universes, witches, etc. But as the story goes on, you can see what he's trying to get at: that the world is a marvelously complicated place, children are capable of amazing things that we as adults cannot do, and indoctrinating children into a religion from a young age is a terrible thing to do.

I saw Burn After Reading yesterday...

Extremely well cast and well written. None of the movie really makes any rigorous sense, but it's got some sharp humor.

I finally watched the Dark Knight. Pretty good, 8.8/10

Hellboy II: A fun flick, very predictable though and not much to it. 7/10

The Chronicles of Narnia 1: I knew what was going to happen throughout, but it was still a great movie. 8.5/10

I saw Burn After Reading yesterday...

Extremely well cast and well written. None of the movie really makes any rigorous sense, but it's got some sharp humor.
I saw that last night too. I was like "what the fuck, where is this story going" but then the conversations at the CIA were hilarious. Waiting for the punchline was so worth it.

Saw "Choke" over the weekend.

Hmmm. Not entirely sure what to make of it. If you like Chuck Palahniuk, a LOT, you're likely to enjoy the movie. If you've ever read anything by that guy, you know he writes about a lot of fucked up stuff. Age-related dementia, public masturbation, kidnapping, fraud, depravity, desecration of holy relics, you know the drill.

Palahniuk always writes about the same thing - a person is managing to get by perfectly fine living a terribly disturbed life but somehow is suddenly shaken to the core by something very simple and pure. Then he or she has to try to make sense out of their senseless existence.

"Choke" is about the perfect example of the Palahniuk storyline, and I think it may be the best possible movie you could make from one of his novels. However, I don't think it's very likely that anyone will ever try it again. It's a good enough movie, and Sam Rockwell is ... well, not totally believable, because the story is so insane, but he certainly is a good actor.

Most of the supporting cast is kind of "meh" but it's a decent movie. Definitely not one for squeamish people, older folks, or dates.

I was strung along to see "Eagle Eye" over the weekend. Not a bad flick if you don't mind having your intelligence insulted time after time. Action? Check (and lots of it). Plot? I guess you could call it that. Believability? Absolutely not. The first scene was the only scene that I believed, whereas the rest of the movie was plot hole after plot hole.

I thought of it as "I, Robot" for dummies. Still, if you want to turn your brain off and watch explosions and car chases (which every guy needs to see every once in a while), go for it.

4 out of 10.

Sorry, but Shia LeBeef is on my list.

* Robin Williams
* Shia LeBooof
* Nicholas Cage
* Vin Diesel
* Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
* Keanu Reeves
* Renee Zellweger
* Will Smiff
... and my list is growing all the time.

He seems slightly out of place on that list. Any specific reason for the hate?

I can't stand the kid either. I think I posted as much a few months ago.

Very Keanu-ish.

He seems slightly out of place on that list. Any specific reason for the hate?
Because he has no personality, acts in truly terrible movies, and is only a "star" because Spielberg likes him. And I really dislike Spielberg.

Fair enough. I guess I haven't seen him in many movies outside of Transformers, Holes and Eagle Eye.

Because he has no personality, acts in truly terrible movies, and is only a "star" because Spielberg likes him. And I really dislike Spielberg.
I actually think he does well as an actor. But if he has one foot in the grave from you on Spieldberg's blessing, I dare not try to make a case against that level of loathe.

Bon Cop, Bad Cop is an enjoyable movie -- Lethal Weapon, Canada style. The movie is half in French and half in English, because the two cops are from Montreal and Toronto and clash in amusing ways. It follows the "buddy cop" formula faithfully enough where it's not that distracting. Thumbs up!

Just watched Silent Hill.... pretty true to the series, I guess, but it could have been made a better movie if it didn't try to stay so true to the video game, IMO...

Enough to probably make me have nightmares tonight, regardless. 7/10

DRay, did you like the part when that broad got her skin ripped off outside the church?

I saw Lakeview Terrace last night, Samuel L. Jackson had the lead, kind of a weird thriller flick. It was easy to follow, but had a meaningless plot.

Paul Wall had a cameo.


Also, the previews to Quarantine looks like the most retarded movie ever.

Bring on Saw V!

Saw V, what a joke


Saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the first time. Thought it was absolutely amazing.

I know, since Saw II, they've gone way downhill, but since I've seen the other 4, I feel obligated to get this last one out of the way...

Heaven forbid they make a sixth...

Saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the first time. Thought it was absolutely amazing.
I thought so too. A lil' too much subtle humor all at once for the normal person to catch i noticed though.

Oh man... My sisters pulled me into watching "The Strangers" this weekend. That was just so bad in so many ways....4/10

Tell me about it. I saw that with my fiance and wanted to hit the people in the film. I hate "horror" films anyway, but this was especially bad. The trailer looked intriguing, but the film was awful.

The fucking couple had the only gun in the movie!!! The bad guys were two girls and a skinny dude! WHAT THE FUCK? HIT THEM WITH A BLUNT OBJECT!

Hey, that's my favorite flick!

Contour isn't really a GOOD movie, but it has a LOT to recommend itself.

It's a movie made by San Francisco bay-area stunt people who aren't really full-time professionals. Think b-movie earnest labor-of-love quality, with ugly sound and music (where professional post-production would've helped).

All that being said, there's a LOT of interesting-looking fast-paced fighting scene. This is too low-tech for big wire work or CG or anything like that -- just well-done action sequences. The plot at its best is an excuse to get from one fight scene to another, watching them beat each other up with some great moves. There's cheesy-funny bits in the movie. One character is very much like Fez from That 70s Show. The extras on the DVD, particularly the extended Tae Pho scene (where the bad sound is actually an asset in a 70s chopsocky way) are worthwhile. Here's a taste of the movie:

I watched WALL-E this weekend. It is a great movie. It's creative, fun and exciting. The entire first half of the movie had zero dialogue, which made the movie incredible. Instead of being lazy and using words to describe what was happening, they used the actions and non-verbal communication of anthropomorphic robots to convey the plot. I thought it was very well done, one of the best movies I've seen all year.

10/10.

Saw Wall-E in the theaters...lol. It was amazing.

Seen this past week: Australia & Synecdoche, New York

Got dragged to Australia...it was an excruciating 3 hours. Looked great...but obviously a painful painful chick flick.

Synecdoche is pretty crazy...a solid 8/10. Typical Kaufman screenplay, but his first as a director (you could tell). Also, anything with Seymour Hoffman is gonna be at least decent.

If you're looking for a well-done entertaining b-grade horror movie with schlock guts and real tits, you could do a lot worse than The Janitor. Bonus points for recording their commentary when they were drunk off their asses!

just got back from seeing Role Models.....very funny, good flick

I finally got around to seeing the live-action Death Note movie (the first part -- it was filmed as a two-part movie, with a logical cliffhanger in the middle).

It's pretty awesome -- definite thumbs-up! Two young geniuses duke it out over a magic book that lets its owner kill people just by writing their name in the book. There's some nicely fucked up twists and turns. Let's just say that if you like movies where the bad guy wins, you'll like this. That's not really a spolier, because it's not 100% clear who the bad guy really is, even at the end. If you've seen the anime, the same main voice actors do the live action movie voices most excellently.

The only drawback is that the DVD extras are fucked up. Only some extras are available at some times, and no way to "play all". Totally obnoxious!

I loved that show. My neighbor got me into it last year. We'd always have a few beers and watch it. Excellent stuff.

Saw Slum Dog Millionaire last weekend. Had no clue what it was about since I was dragged there by the GF and what not.

Really an interesting movie that was well shot, well edited, and came together really nicely. Basically a guy goes on to win India's version of Who wants to be a millionaire, never been done before, they interrogate him to figure out why he knows all the answers and the story flashes back to his childhood and intertwines a love story as well. Not sure if its a nation wide release yet but you should look for it in your area.

Saw "The Visitor" last night. That movie was awesome. It's a good-hearted movie about a college professor who discovers that someone has illegally sublet his apartment to undocumented immigrants while he was away.

It was really a wonderful movie. Good-hearted. Decent.

Stars a bunch of nobodies, unless you've somehow seen them in some other indie movie. Richard Jenkins is the star, he was the "late Nate" from Six Feet Under. He's perfect in this movie.

So this morning I woke up at 5:00 AM thinking it was actually 7:00 AM, it wasn't until I got in my car I figured out my alarm went off 2 hours early. So to kill the extra time, I watched National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets on Encore.

Much like the first one, I really enjoyed it, despite the corny script. I'm not a huge fan of Diane Kruger, but they made her boobs look bigger in this movie (digital enhancement?). I like her more now.

I saw Slumdog last night, I thought it was a great movie.

Makes you glad to live in America, that`s for sure.

The girl who plays Latika might be the hottest Indian girl I`ve ever seen.

Last night I saw Valkyrie...

It's a good movie if you enjoy WW2 history, and it's based on a true story. I'm not much of a Cruise fan, but he played hiw role very well, IMO.

Considering there is not much else in theaters worth seeing other than Slumdog Millionaire or Role Models, I'd say Valkyrie is definitely worth a look.

It got a 63% 'Fresh' rating on RottenTomatoes, which by their standards is pretty decent.

Curious Case of Benjamin Button has an 8.7 on imdb, fairly high for their standards. Looks really cool, I'll have to watch it sometime.

I heard it was horrible, boring, long, not exciting, and a snoozer. As in you would fall asleep if you watched it. Also the accents are apparently annoying.

I tend to like David Fincher's movies, so i may still check it out.

Slumdog Millionaire is now out nation wide I believe. Everyone should go see that instead of the shit that's come out the past two weeks. Great movie.

And yeah, Latika the Indian chick is fucking hot.

Just watched "The Reader" with Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet.

Now, I know most of WTF will not spend their money to see what appears to be another boring British love story.

But do me a favor and tell your friends NOT to see it, as well. Thank GAWD it was an Academy DVD screener and I didn't have to shell out $$$ to watch this piece of fucking garbage (FYI, my hot blonde neighbor is in the film industry -- next up, The Wrestler).

Lemmie put it to you this way: this 2 hour film felt like 4 hours, and could have been told in 1 hour. Unless you dig Kate Winslett aged and made up to look like an East German naked for a better half of the first hour, best spend your money on holiday shit offerings like Marley and Me.

In The Wrestler, you get to dig Marisa Tomei's nipple piercings. Let us know if that's any better. For quality and quantity of nude scenes, I gotta go with Winslet for now, but Tomei's doing her best to play catch-up. ;)

I saw Flash Point over the weekend. It's contemporary mixed martial arts in Hong Kong with Donnie Yen and the baddies he's against doing some fairly serious brutalizing. If you want to see an ending where two people just beat the living shit out of each other without a lot of effects or wire work, this is your movie. The plot was simple and largely comprehensible, as long as you watched the subtitles. That's actually kind of important because it takes a little while to really get to the fun kickass shit.

I finally saw Hancock. What a waste of good talent and effects budget! I should not even bother with sci-fi/hero movies with Akiva Golsman involved, with his suck record dating back to Joel Schumacher-directed Batman movies,

What's the point of making Charlize Theron a superwoman and not having her wear spandex?!?

It's time for my patented Zip Goshboots Movie Review of Movies I won't See

Marley and Me: Is Owen Wilson spent or what? What a piece of garbage. I guess it's based on the sappy piece of Mitch Albom-like shit book of the same name. I'm guessing it's about life through the eyes of a dog. Or how a dog can be so important and teach us life's lessons. But fuck that: Unless the dog can teach me how to lick my own balls, he's got nothing to say that I want to hear. Well, maybe the part about going out and shitting on my neighbor's lawn is pretty cool, or maybe because he's a dog he can watch Jennifer Anniston take a shower and not get arrested afterwards. Or hell, maybe she'll even smear her snatch with peanut butter and let him lick it off. But still, even with all those benefits, a dog is still a dog, still stupid, and it only takes him about 11 years to get to where I'll be in 75: farting and shitting everywhere and the people around me going, "Oh, poor Snoopy (or Granpappy Zip), he just doesn't know any better." The hell we don't, we're just getting back at our wives for nagging us all our lives and at our kids for being miserable rotten fucks who never listen to us. Or, in the case of the dog, he's probably just sick and tired of his owner going to work for 14 hours a day and locking him up in the house so he can't piss all day. And now, he's all, "Fuck this. I have to take a piss and a shit and I'll be damned if I'm gonna hold it while he's out trying to fuck his secretary behind his wife's back."

So, yeah, I'm picturing the same ol' Owen Wilson "Hey, I'm a flake but life is cool if you just rrelax, mannn" shit that we've seen since well, he was born. Fuck him. Him on screen making out with/pseudo fucking Jennifer Anniston? That would make me go psycho, and you wouldn't like me when I'm psycho. Top it off with them ruining their lives by getting married and having children (why would you want to fuck with her body in that way?), and this may just be the worst movie ever that I have not seen but still hate.

Gweorge Clooney is a Man-god. Naked bongo guy is Man-douche.

I was required to see it. Fiance read the book and had to see the movie with her neice who also read the book. Rip on me all you want, but there's some things a guy is just required to do.

fiancee = the woman you plan to marry
financee = the woman to whom a man shells out money

LOL - thanks Zip. FYI - you can rip myself or "my snookums" all you want. I have yet to be offended by anything said by you. But if you fucking mention anything negative about Dusty Ryan I will track your IP address down, come find you, and burn down your fucking house.

Why does everyone think Jennifer Aniston is hot?

How can girls find Owen Wilson sexy. His face looks like the Detroit O line.

Rule #1 -- If you're gonna make a film about a dog, use a Bulldog.
