jmicha Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 ^That movie was...interesting. The 'twist' wasn't very twisty. It was about as twisty as Superman: The Escape. The premise was fun though. A nice alteration of the classic slasher movies. I saw The American the other day with some relatives. It was alright. Not quite as good as many reviews were making it out to be but still entertaining. It just failed at really developing ANY connection to the characters. Because of this the story really lacked since it really didn't feel like it mattered at all. And as a picky side note, the whole butterfly metaphor...cliche...poor choice. But overall still entertaining. I'd give it a 6/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScooterGuy Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Saw 'The Blues Bros' on Blu-Ray! One of my favourite scenes was the mall ram-raid scene, which was an attempt to 'demolish' the defunct Dixie Square Mall in Chicago! Do you remember Dixie Square Mall? It's been abandoned since then due to lack of funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScooterGuy Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 My dad won't take me to see Despicable Me because I'm 20 years old and dad recommends me to watch movies that are meant for my age. An average 20 year old person watching a movie meant for children is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 ^ Cant you go see it on your own? Also I am 19 and go to kids movies sometimes. For example Princess and the Frog was one of my favorite movies last year. Your dads mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Watch the "reimagining" of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari last night. Pretty cool, for art house cinema. They filmed current actors in black and white, then put them against the original 1917 silent film backdrops to re-tell the story told in the original film, but with words. Pretty neat.

FeelTheFORCE Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Watched "Semi-Pro" with Will Farrell the other day. I had low expectations, so it was actually better than I thought! It's no Step Brothers, but it still has it's moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Starr Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) So, it's October, a lovely haunting month, and I figured a Horror Movie Marathon was in order! My hopeful goal is 31 total movies watched by Halloween night, keep in mind that they have to be movies that I've never seen before, so it should be interesting. I will rate all of the movies out of 10 and give a brief review. I hope this'll be fun, whether or not I actually make it to 31! I have included my list so far, but there is only 19 right now, so feel free to post suggestions or recommendations!

bellhop96 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I recently went to see Grown Ups. It's the new comedy with Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider. There are some extreme laugh out loud moments and some really cool water park scenes! Iff you have not seen this movie go! p.s. The church/chapel used for the funeral scene is a facade at Warner Bros. Studios Hollywood. I saw it on a recent trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 On this year's Halloween night, All Terminator films will be premiering on Channel 7! FAIL! Halloween is for scary movies! Not Terminator. Whose got some recommendations for a Halloween Movie Marathon! Make it as offensive, gory, scary, freaky, whatever, I have no limits and will watch most anything as long as its good. ^^ Starr... I recommend the film Trick R Treat. It is often considered to be the best straight to DVD movie of all time and is considered to be one of the best recent horror movies along horror fans. It is very fun and VERY entertaining, and although it is a lot of fun and is a movie that sets an awesome feeling for the season. It is very good as well, because it is also set on Halloween Night, which, unlike a lot of horror movies gives it a true Halloween feel. Also I recommend seeing Let me in(I have heard good things) or Let the Right One In, which is an awesome film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the premier of that movie and, wow. It rocks. Let the Right One In is also quite good, but not too scary. One other thing I would like to add...P2 did not scare me. The opening scene really got me, but after that it just got worse and worse. It was not scary to me. Now for my recommendations: Watch "IMPRINT" by Takashi Miike. This film is a horror masterpiece. It will leave you cringing and thinking about it for ages. Also, "El Orfanato" (The Orphanage) by Gulliermo del Toro is totally epic. I thought about it for days afterward, and it has left a lasting impression on me. I loved it. Have you seen Orphan? It was entertaining. Also, Silence of the Lambs is very intense. You have probably seen those though. ---Antonio "hope that helps you get to your 31 films!" G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Which "Haunting" are you referring to--the original version directed by Robert Wise or the later "remake"? The Wise version is much, much better. You might want to add The Legend of Hell House to your list. The original Richard Matheson novel Hell House is very good, too, and the story is sort of a reply to Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House.

Band-Aid Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Just rewatched the Simpsons Movie. Although overrated, it's still a satisfying film to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Let Me In I'm always leery of a remake, especially when the original was so great. But this movie manages to be very faithful to the original while still being it's own movie. I was the only person in my theater which is kind of sad, this movie needs to be seen. SO much better than those "other" vampire movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bolded the ones I've watched so far, but hopefully I'll catch up this weekend I've added all of the recommendations so far, as well as some news ones, thanks guys! Also, most of these movies are the older/original versions, as I've seen most of the newer remakes Again, thanks for the reccomendations!

If anyone wants a contemporary movie with vampires that dont break any classic vampire rules(like going out during the day...WTF TWILIGHT) then I highly recommend seeing this film. This movie is so good... a perfect movie with an amazing ambiance, which makes up for its lack of jump out of your seat scares. Also an awesome remake! 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Jackass 3D One of the best movies to watch with friends this year. The 3D, unfortunately, is few and far between save for a few stunts. In this movie, there's more of a "gross-out" factor of stunts involving crap and whatever other bodily fluids you can name rather than good ol' fashioned "physical" stunts that the Jackass crew have been known for (then again, you think they've become feeble after doing this for 10+ years and countless injuries). I can tell you, better have an iron gut before seeing Jackass 3D, because it has some of the more outrageous gross-out stunts I've seen. Its not necessarily good nor bad. If you're a fan, see it; if you don't like or don't "get" Jackass, just ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonemachine Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Enter The Void is probably the most mindblowing movie ever made. It will be remembered like how 2001 is; a towering technical and visual achievement in film history. Only about 1% of the filmgoing public can handle a movie like this but at the same time you can't really consider yourself a film buff without seeking it out. It's unfortunatley only in very limited release but you can order it on demand. Simply jawdropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jds03 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Exit Through The Gift Shop is another must see from this year, especially if you like street art. I'm absolutely dying to see Exit Through the Gift Shop. Banksy's work is so amazing, he's definitely one of my favorite modern artists, not to mention the single greatest street artist of all time. As an art school student, Banksy is like a hero to me ( my avatar is my own banksy-inspired stencil art) I can imagine his film is really great, unfortunately i can't find a theater showing it in my area.
