Official WTFDetroit Movie Review Thread

Check out Wilderness Survival For Girls. It's a low-key character piece, the story of three attractive teenage girls up at their parents cabin when an intruder comes into the picture. It's sort of an anti-"scream queen" coming of age movie, and could easily be a stage play. The teenage girls are stupid in the way you'd expect teenage girls to be stupid, not "Hollywood stupid". The intruder is menacing but doesn't wear a hockey mask and live hundreds of years. The girls are cute and hot in the way that real girls are, and two take off their tops. The look and sound of the movie is really nice for a $90k budget. It's not a perfect movie, but it definitely got 4 out of 5 stars from me.

can't wait for this movie, Superbad.

Oceans 13 anyone? I liked it and was alot better than 12 but not better than 11.

Don't really want to spoil anything so I'll just keep quiet..

It's now time for another episode of:

Zip Goshboots At the Movies(I haven't seen).

Evan Almighty. Ohh kay. Alrighty.
Not gonna see this one, and there are several reasons why.
First, I'm sick and tired of "Life Lessons From Morgan Freeman". Whether it's Shawshank, and him telling us that getting butt raped by four or five guys is how you spend your days in prison (until you dig a four mile tunnel through concrete with a Q-tip and escape), or telling us that not everyone's prayers can be answered (as if I didn't know that already, I mean, I've still never had that threesome with Jennifer Anniston and Beyonce), enough IS enough. Morgan, who do you think you are? God?.
Steve Carrell. I know this will be blasphemy to the many of the tens of people who hang on my wisdom, but Carrell is about as stiff as a fourteen year old boy who's banging the English teachers prick. He was great in Miss Sunshine, because he played a stilted gay guy who was embarrassed to be himself. Fine. Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar playing a retard.
Carell is not a good actor; He's no Jim Carrey, hell, he's not even as good as Paul Ruud, who carried forty year old virgin on his back.
The story. Unless you completely spoof this doozy of a bedtime story, and I mean lampoon it so bad that you and everyone who sees it will burn in hell, what the fuck you gonna do? Let me guess: Off beat, but pretty much normal boring guy hears "God" talking to him, thinks he's going crazy, then realizes he's not crazy, God is (build a big boat, eh?), builds it, then it looks like he made a mistake, but KABOOM! Morgan Freeman rides a wave in wearing his white suit, and there's rain, and elephant shit everywhere, and in the end one big preachy sappy, "Yes, Virginia, there IS a God" ending. I don't expect a "surprise ending" either, because the last surprise ending I saw was when Judy Garland found out that she just bumped her head and had a really wierd dream.
Fuck this piece of shit. I'd rather see Sin City. Then I'd know I'm watching something realistic.

There are many comic types. There's the Straight man, the Loudmouth, the Ass, the Basket Case, the Rubberface...etc. Steve Carell's comic type is the "No-One's-Home." It refers to a guy who's a blank slate, a guy who might say and do seemingly normal and rational things but you can tell he doesn't understand them. For a comic actor, it's really hard to play against your type.

I think I'd call Steve Carrells type the "Can you fucking beLIEVE I'm making all this money?" type.

Agree with you %100. But the Office is one of my favorite TV shows. I think Jim and Dwight make that show though.

Son of a B word, I keep forgetting to watch that show. I'd like to see it--is it worth buying the DVD sets?
Or should I just wait till it turns up on channel 932 at 11 PM?

I watched a couple re-runs last night, but they weren't in order. It would be hard to watch it that way since they are not totally independant episodes like Sienfeld is. It's not like 24, where you'd have to watch them in order, but you'd still miss out on a lot of plot watching them out of order. you'd miss inside jokes a lot. I think it would be worth renting/buying the series. I've seen a few of them multiple times and still laughed.

I'm leery of Evan Almighty because it's being marketed specifically to the church-going types. Steve Carell does make me laugh, though, and he stole plenty of scenes in the Ron Burgundy movie(s). God should've been recast -- Ron Jeremy would be ideal if he weren't coaching the Tragic.
