crazyrider06 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Last weekend went and saw four christmases. Reese and vince make a great duo combination. Over all, it was a very funny movie 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Aliens is a franchise about aliens so it cannot be in the same class as an Indy movie that has an alien theme. That would be like comparing Sunshine with Slumdog Millionaire. Two different animals. I just see two movies that were dissed because they strayed from formula and went the alien route...Indy and AI. Yes I know, my response was really meant in jest. That's the reason I added the wink. ...Though I really do love that movie. Anyway, I really didn't have a problem with the aliens myself. Now the swinging on the vines was a little much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Volcano Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Got a chance to see The Man Who Wasn't There tonight. Great film. Great, great film. Probably my second favorite Coen Brothers film right behind No Country for Old Men. The Man Who Wasn't There: 8/10 -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexG8462 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I recently saw two films, "Wag the Dog" and "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." "Wag the Dog" was pretty good and Dustin Hoffmans was great and made me laugh at many points. "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" was a film that I wanted to like, but ended up hating. I love Star Wars, but this movie made Episodes I and II look like masterpieces. (I did enjoy Episodes I and II though, just not as much as Episodes III, IV, V and VI.)

Adriel Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I am kind of um... angry currently because Annie Awards gave Kung Fu Panda 17 nominations while WALL-E only received 8 nominations. Even Bolt beat WALL-E (9 nominations). But from what I know this is due to the fact that WALL-E is considered as 'silent film' since almost no one talks in the movie. But the most shocking thing is... WALL-E didn't even receive nomination for its original score. Instead, Kung Fu Panda got the nomination. I was like, "WHAT?!" What do you think?

socalMAN123 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 ^ Out of those three movies, Wall-E is defenitely the superior. That is wierd that Kung-Fu Panda would get more nominations than it, but oh well. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgadviperboi Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Another award ceremony down and both Slumdog and Let the Right One In have taken top prizes in their respective categories. Slumdog was given best picture for the second straight event and similarly Let the Right One In has received best foreign film for the second straight event. I hope to finally get my Hollywood fix this weekend and see Role Models before it leaves. I have been so busy catching up to the indies I was afraid of missing and forgetting about major releases. I hope for a nice, laid back Christmas season. Does not look like any good horror movies for the rest of 08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfgadviperboi Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I re-watched Boyle's Sunshine yesterday and most definately enjoyed the film despite several viewings. While it is not my favorite Boyle film it still ranks as one of my favorite Sci-fi movies (it is not my genre). I did find the tone switch mid-film to be a bit strange but since I enjoy both character studies and some horror element it satisfied me in the end. I do recommend the movie for anyone who enjoys good atmosphere, great music and high-end acting. 8/10 --> On the Boyle scale I rate his movies: Millions 10/10 - just amazing from beginning to end Slumdog Millionaire 10/10 - deserves best picture of the year (LtROi deserves Best Foreign) Sunshine - 8/10 Shallow Grave - 7/10 Trainspotting - 7/10 The Beach - 6/10 (though I still enjoyed it I have no desire to re watch the film) Now this could be good...the Discovery Documentary scares me to this day... http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/bdtv/Player.php?id=2240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillgeek Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 ^Just saw that last night. I'd give it more like a B+. The movie is true to what's going on in the real world right now. Everyone is so oblivious to what we as people are doing to the earth. It makes me sad to know that I was born into the world at what seems like the worst time possible. When the year 2012 gets here everyone will see the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay-8/10-Funny movie. It was great to see Harold and Kumar back. I didn't think it was as funny as the first but it was still a great movie to get a kick out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well, I watched IronMan and The Dark Knight again on DVD. These two movies are so good, but I'm still not sure which one I like more. Which leads me to ask, what were everyone's favorite movies in 2008? I'm still deciding between IronMan, The Dark Knight, and Wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgadviperboi Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I finally was able to get to the theater to see Role Models. While this movie is a formulaic comedy their is one thing that separates this from every other comedy, this one is FUNNY. I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. Despite the by the numbers story line, Paul Rudd, William-Scott, and Christopher Muniz hold this film together like gorilla glue. There are so many scenes that I just would want to re-watch over and over. There is one scene with ambien that made my friends and I die laughing. My reaction to that medication is the same as seen in the movie to a tee. Even though I do not fight the medication to stay awake, the effects before I fall asleep are trippy. My friends have heard me this way thats to yim and the telephone. They all just pointed at me!! If it is in the theater go see it. If it has left get the flick on DVD. 9/10 best comedy of the year.

bigstevet07 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 The Day The Earth Stood Still - I now know why they call this movie a "disaster" movie. The whole thing just seemed pointless to me. I get the message they were trying to convey about how we are destroying the Earth and don't care. The way this movie was put together just sucked. If you are looking for a movie filled with awesome special effects, just watch the trailer. That pretty much shows all of them. The whole movie is basically the 3 main characters running around the woods trying to avoid the authorites while they try to convince the alien they can change. The movie was extremely slow and then the ending just topped it off. Thank god I didn't pay for this movie. On another note, the trailer for the new Wolverine movie was before it. That was the only highlight of my trip to the theater. This movie looks seriously bad ass. Only problem is they do have a stunt that is just way over the top in the trailer. Just watch the trailer and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Judd Apatow is overrated. There, I said it. Seriously, this guy can't write worth crap, IMO anyway. Heck, I'll still never forgive him for Celtic Pride. Message to Judd....stick to producing, and ONLY producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 ^^ Yeah that stunt in the Wolverine trailer seemed just too over the top. I mean I get the movie takes place in a superhero universe with mutants and such, but you still have to keep it grounded somehow. Other than that though I think the movie's gonna rock. Which I was surprised at, since I've never really liked Wolverine and wasn't anticipating the film at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgadviperboi Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 UMUMUMUMUM Role Models has nothing at all to do with Judd Apatow. I believe Paul Rudd is the closest tie to any Apatow movie. It is not a low brow comedy it is an intelligent comedy. Of course there is some nudity but not much at all!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razor12 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The worst new movie of 08 I saw this year was probably Mummy 3...it was bad. The only thing it had going was the CGI. Predictable too. One of the leads (Evie) was replaced with a bad actress. At least she tried though... 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Volcano Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Picked up Almost Famous in the $5 bin the other day. It was kind of a blind buy but overall I was pretty entertained by it, and thought the performances were the main hightlight of the movie. Almost Famous: 7/10 -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
