Groteslurf Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Step up 2 : 5/10 After watching the first part, it was time for the sequel. Unfortunately the sequel is quite a let down. I almost fell asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knottslover77 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Primeval Overall, a bad movie, but it wasn't as bad as it looked. D+ --Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny In England Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hellboy 2 was predictable at times but still delivers a light hearted action journey that's not nearly as brutal on the 12A rating as Batman. Really Enjoyable but not something so complex that you'll ever have an argument about the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn88 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Overall I've felt a little short changed by the majority of movies this summer, most of the recent releases felt very predictable to me and had almost completely disregarded the plot/narrative in favour of CGI and crisper visuals (Indy IV, Iron Man, Speed Racer I'm looking at you). The only two films which I've really enjoyed since April were "The Dark Knight" and Frank Darabont's "The Mist" (which only just arrived here in the UK). That said the last movie I saw at the cinema was Hellboy 2: The Golden Army and I really felt that the style and tone of Del Toro's first outing had been compromised in order to load in pre-teens and small children. Presumably as a counter to "The Dark Knight" which really pushed the 'dark'/adult superhero angle. However, this new approach was ultimately to the detriment of the film. In fact the only saving graces for me were the performance given by Luke Goss as the films antagonist and the early effects shots in which Del Toro uses practical make-up to great effect. However, the much hyped 'Troll Market' scene is extensively covered in the trailer alone and the remaining effects (particularly the Golden Army itself) stray into the same overblown CGI territory as most 2008 summer movies did. New additions to the cast also included an insufferable ectoplasmic (Big props to "Ghostbusters" for teaching me that word) German scientist, who arrives fully equipped with some of the most abysmal dialogue I've heard all year. Mix this with several fairly low risk action scenes and a weak love interest and you could easily be excused for giving this film a miss, at least until the DVD is available to rent. With the summer season now all but over I personally can't wait for "Burn After Reading" as I am a huge Coen Brothers fan. Especially when it comes to their offbeat comedies/crime capers (a la "The Big Lebowski). Anybody else have a film out soon that they are looking forward to?

KPWoCkAxX Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I saw Don't Mess With The Zohan last week, Quite racist in some parts but still best film I've seen this year, 9/10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Iron Man, albeit on one of those tiny back of the seat plane screens, and I have to say it lived up to the hype, a fine adventure and a good story. Robert Downey Jr may have issues off the screen but his acting chops are undeniable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I saw Don't Mess With The Zohan last week, Quite racist in some parts but still best film I've seen this year, 9/10! Obviously that is the only movie you've seen this year... [REC] 8.5/10 Since "Quarantine" is a remake of "[REC]", I thought would watch the original so I can compare it to the remake. I was VERY impressed. Quite intense in some parts and the storyline was pretty cool. Although predictable at some times (lets face it, most horror movies are this way), the parts that weren't were super cool. Defenitly watch this before you watch Quarantine, it was awesome. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dino Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hamlet2 8/10 Started out OK but got funnier as it went on. The "Rock Me Sexy Jesus" number had me laughing so hard . Jesus totally owned when he moonwalked across the water . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supertrooper Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Disaster movie Worst. Movie. Ever. Made. You paid to see that? I saw Tropic Thunder last weekend...I laughed quite a bit.

Manny In England Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 ^^ Yeah it's right at the bottom of IMDB's worst 100 movies list with an average score of 1.2/10. Hopefully Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer will stop writing these horrible parody films now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn88 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 'The Happening' and 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' definitely fit into the so bad it's hilarious category. Its a shame that M. Night Shyamalan seems to be falling back on incredibly predictable plot twists since he had so much promise a few years ago. But your right the recent waves of movie spoofs like 'Disaster Movie' are beyond hope. Even though they have a budget as large as most peoples weekly shopping I'm always surprised that enough people go to see them for the studio to make any money back.

socalMAN123 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Traitor 7/10 Better than I thought it would end up being. Pretty easy plot line to follow, although the people I was with were like "No way! I didn't know they made movies that you had to actually think to understand it!". Silly America...Anywho! Don Cheadle did pretty good, not as good as his Hotel Rwanda role, but pretty well nonetheless. The action was cool, although not as much as I thought there would be. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Tropic Thunder B+ I finally got to see Tropic Thunder last week. While not as funny as I thought it would be, it still had its great moments. Overall, a very good movie and something I'll buy when it hits the stores. Next movie: Eagle Eye (Sept. 26th release) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 So I was looking up random sci-fi type stuff (really bored) and was reminded of one of my favorite movies THX 1138. I really need to go buy this movie. The movie is the main concept that many more recent movies, such as The Island, got their plots from. I love the depiction of the future in this movie. There's something eerily calm and quiet about everything in the movie. Even in parts such as the explosion in the nuclear production plant and the extended chase scene at the end of the movie, the mood is oddly silent. There's really something special about this movie (well, everything except the added in CGI in the recent re-release). But that's George Lucas for you. Adding CGI to classic movies that don't need it. But if you're a fan of sci-fi and dystopia films, as I am, you really should see this movie. I'd give it a 9/10.

mike541x Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Disaster movie Worst. Movie. Ever. Made. Couldn't agree more. I was dragged to see that. 6/10 I saw Tropic Thunder last Saturday. It was ok. There were some funny moments. And most people don't know about the Ozzy Osbourne reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 ^The words "of a" are missing in the middle of the title of that movie. These _____ Movie's are just a bunch of crassly placed subliminal advertisement: "OMG!!!!111ONE!11! Hannah Montana is dead" - some dumb chick "Goodbye my fans! Keep Rockin'! And don't forget to buy my two new CD's in stores now!" with irrelevant pop culture references and unfunny racial stereotypes. How could these moronic writers possibly think what they are writing is funny? I mean, from the trailer alone... they reuse the same "getting hit/crushed by something big" joke 3 times! I felt my IQ was lowering just from watching the trailer. To make matters worse, they are spoofing movies that are still in theaters. Didn't The Dark Knight, Hulk, & Iron Man JUST come out? Also, if they wanted to spoof a disaster movie, why didn't they spoof an actual disaster movie? (ie: Titanic, Armageddon, Independence Day, The Poesideon Adventure, etc.) This movie doesn't even know what it's spoofing! Juno? Sex & The City? Enchanted? WTF! What is that! Please, don't pay to see this mindless garbage! You're only encouraging them to make MORE! THINK OF THE CHILDREN MY GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
