Subject: Movie Reviews and Opinions Posted by: Ref - Donor [539581218] Thu, Jan 25, 2007, 11:11 The last movie thread was so big that I figured we could start another one. Saw 3 was a lot more gore and not as good as the other two IMO. I really liked the documentary, "This Film is Not Yet Rated." If you ever wonder how they rate movies and the politics of it, you'll really want to check this out. They even hired a private detective to uncover who the secret members are who rate them. The MPAA is a joke. | |||||||

Two ideas: 1. I wish there was a "spoiler button" to click like some other internet forums. You get the movie spoilers after you click on them. (e.g. a "spoiler alert" button) 2. Is there a way to list movies and have us vote on them from a 0.0 to 10.0 scale? That would be informative. Many would vote, and the list would grow each week. I have a feeling gurupies smell better than rotten tomatoes, ;) | ||||||
| 275 | boikin ID: 59831214 Thu, Jul 12, 2007, 13:02 | I would love to see that gurupie ranked movies, everyone here seems to have good taste or atleast they recomend movies that enjoy watching. | ||||||

I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter book series, and I have to admit I left the theater yesterday disappointed with the 5th movie installment. Admittedly, fitting enough of Book 5 into a 2.5 hour movie is impossible, but I just think the screenwriter and director did not focus enough on the more vital themes to satisfy my taste. Visually it was quite well done. The final battle was pretty sweet, although again I would have loved to see that be longer and more meaningful than what they did. Perhaps I am biased by having read the book. | ||||||
| 277 | Punk42AE Donor ID: 036635522 Thu, Jul 12, 2007, 13:28 | Species my wife felt that way very much walking out of #3. So now i'm not really looking forward to seeing #5 with her as she'll probably go off again. :'P | ||||||

| 280 | RecycledSpinalFluid Dude ID: 204401122 Wed, Aug 01, 2007, 17:18 | Watched "The Last Mimzy" and all I have to say is that this movie had nothing but cardboard acting from every person in it. A to Z. Everyone. And it might just be me, but the "product placement" in this one was just annoying. | ||||||

300 is testosterone put into DVD form for human consumption. I wouldn't be surprised if women who watch this movie grow actual physical balls and an adam's apple. This movie was great. I'd love to see another like it. The Number 23 was very good, but not nearly as good as 300. The coincidences surrounding the number are pretty mindboggling. | ||||||
| 282 | Mattinglyinthehall ID: 454491514 Wed, Aug 01, 2007, 18:20 |
Didn't see 300. Might be hard for me to get passed the idea of Spartan soldiers depicted as barely dressed male underwear models filmed in bronze hue. Perhaps my wife will like it. :) The new Harry Potter was the best film yet in the series, despite lacking some of the fantastic scenery of the previous installments. My wife, who has has read all the novels, was disappointed, mostly with what they chose to gloss over. I did have one or two logical issues regarding the continued storyline, but still the best film overall. In fact I think each successive film has been progressively better. Rocky Balboa laid it on as thick as any other Rocky movie. Very tired and very, very simple, even for the Rocky franchise. Children of Man: Agree w/threespleens in post 149. Could have been so much more. Pan's Labrynth was a letdown. Maybe I'd seen too many rave reviews and expected too much. Impressive visually, but not as much so as I'd been led to believe. Fair at best for a fantasy story, though WW2 era Spain did provide a cool backdrop. | ||||||
| 283 | Perm Dude ID: 5774518 Wed, Aug 01, 2007, 18:22 | The review of 300 I posted in #193 still makes me LOL. | ||||||

I wouldn't be surprised if women who watch this movie grow actual physical balls and an adam's apple. Generally women don't watch softcore gay porn, but I'm sure you will subject some poor woman to it and if your dream comes true, I'm sure you'll tell us all about her balls. I'd love to see another like it. There is an entire industry making gay porn, knock yourself out. | ||||||
| 285 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Wed, Aug 01, 2007, 19:06 |
From that review. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, “I need some extra sauce packets” guess what? You’re getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain. The really funny part is that I had Taco Bell for lunch today and I got a bunch of hot sauce packets and I didn't really even ask for them. The reviewer in all his juvinility is 100% correct. The movie is setup like a videogame and the heavy music goes very nicely with the battle scenes that are too many to count. The makers of 300 knew exactly who their target audience was and made no apologies about getting it. | ||||||

For a left wing whack job, you sure don't seem to be tolerant of gays do you? Although I do commend you for not posting with a cartoon. | ||||||

 It's an illness, I need help... | ||||||
| 288 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Wed, Aug 01, 2007, 19:25 | Oh good. For a minute I thought someone stole your ID. If an SZ post doesn't have a cartoon or a pot reference in it, I doubt the authenticity. | ||||||
| 289 | Mattinglyinthehall ID: 454491514 Wed, Aug 01, 2007, 19:26 |
I don't know about softcore gay porn (or what in SZ's post could be seen as intolerant) but the images I've seen in reviews and trailers for 300 are obvious deliberate homoeroticism. Not sure if that's what Box meant when he said, "The makers of 300 knew exactly who their target audience was and made no apologies about getting it." | ||||||
| 290 | RecycledSpinalFluid Dude ID: 204401122 Wed, Aug 01, 2007, 23:12 | Man, I think my wife is going to be concerned that I thought a homoerotic softcore gay porn movie was "kinda cool for its vibrant stylization". Oh my, even my adjectives are starting to get colorful... | ||||||
| 291 | katietx ID: 25520216 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 00:42 | I was going to rent it this weekend...hmmm now having major 2nd thoughts as this just might not be the correct date-night movie? | ||||||
| 292 | boikin ID: 59831214 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 12:50 | The review of 300 I posted in #193 still makes me LOL. i guess i missed this the first time aroud, it was like something out of keven smith movie only funnier. Nice find PD. | ||||||
| 293 | walk ID: 596182512 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 12:53 | Yeah, I've been reading Aint it Cool (Harry & co) for years...very fun and funny web-site. Good to have a film-oriented web-site devoted towards action, horror and sci-fi (and Harry now is into posting reviews for all kinds of movies), but Harry is quite the fanboy and gives pos reviews to many movies that sorta are mediocre or just suck. Still, his writing like a fan style is really refreshing, but now this guy is big, and he has major access and even gravitas. Amazing. | ||||||
| 294 | sarge33rd ID: 99331714 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 13:36 |
"The Number 23"...pretty poor IMHO. "Pursuit of Happyness"...pretty good "feel good" movie. "Zodiac"...REALLY well done. | ||||||
| 295 | Great One ID: 201155199 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 13:42 |
I actually liked 300 so I'm not sure what that says about me lol... of course I saw it in IMAX, so that certainly added a whole lot to visual aspect. Gonna rent Number23 this weekend, though I have my doubts going in. Anyone seen The Simpsons yet? | ||||||
| 296 | walk ID: 596182512 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 13:42 | I saw Zodiac...Very well done. I liked it a lot. A little long, but well done in terms of story and characters. | ||||||
| 297 | Ref Donor ID: 539581218 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 13:45 |
RE: 294 I went out and bought a Rubkic's Cube after seeing Pursuit of Happyness. ALways wanted to solve it and gave me a great deal of "happyness" when I finally solved that sucker! | ||||||
| 298 | C1-NRB ID: 5932328 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 13:52 |
I went and saw The Simpsons on Friday. *Semi-spoiler alert* The two funniest bits: It starts with an "Itchy & Scratchy" cartoon that the family is watching in a theater. Homer says, "Booooring. Who would pay good money to see something in a theater they could watch on TV at home for free? You're all idiots. You, (points left) you, (points right) and especially YOU!" (points at the "camera.") Halfway through the screen goes black and says "To be continued..." followed a few frames later by "Immediately" and it picks up where it left off. *Semi-spoiler off* Overall I give it a "Meh." | ||||||
| 299 | C1-NRB ID: 5932328 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 14:00 | Also saw "No Reservations" with Katherine Zeta-Jones. "Ratatouille" was better. Give me cartoon French accent Janeane Garofalo over cardboard American accent Katherine Zeta-Jones. | ||||||
| 300 | sarge33rd ID: 99331714 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 15:59 |
re 297...I used to know a 23 or 24 step process that would solve the cube regardless of the discombobulated state of it. Here's a link to one solution page: Rubiks cube | ||||||
| 301 | walk ID: 596182512 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 16:03 | I loved Ratatouille (as did the kids). The pixar movies are just special. So very good. | ||||||
| 302 | Rendle ID: 366203122 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 18:28 |
I would agree with the "meh" critique of The Simpsons Movie. There were a bunch of pretty funny jokes but also alot of cringe-worthy moments. I'm seeing a sneak preview of The Kingdom tonight. It looks like it could be pretty good. | ||||||
| 303 | WiddleAvi ID: 25102616 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 19:19 |
I liked the Simpsons movie alot. My new favorite song... Spiderpig, spiderpig, does whatever a spiderpig does. Does he spin a web? no he does not because he is a spiderpig | ||||||
| 304 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 19:50 | Glad to see Zodiac is getting good reviews. That's the movie I'm watching tonight. | ||||||
| 305 | Rendle ID: 366203122 Thu, Aug 02, 2007, 22:27 | The Kingdom was damn good. It comes out in September. Killer cast: Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper, Jason Bateman, Jeremy Piven. | ||||||
| 306 | Boxman ID: 571114225 Sat, Aug 04, 2007, 21:27 |
Zodiac was outstanding. Maybe the movie was long in time but it didn't feel that way. The acting was very good. The guy from Brokeback was really good and Downey Jr. was very good as well. I thought the scene where they were wearing the "I Am Not Avery" buttons while Downey is taking target practice to be very funny. It added some humor to a serious movie. Of the three movies I've seen recently (#23, 300, & Zodiac), Zodiac was the best. | ||||||
| 307 | C1-NRB ID: 17348117 Sat, Aug 04, 2007, 21:51 |
I watched Zodiac this afternoon. I thought it was way too long and moved way too slow through the first half. The button scene was pretty funny. | ||||||
| 308 | sarge33rd ID: 76442923 Sat, Aug 04, 2007, 22:50 |
The Fountain with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz... two words come immediately to mind....weird and/or bizarre. REALLY, REALLY weird. | ||||||
| 309 | boikin ID: 59831214 Mon, Aug 06, 2007, 10:20 | Sarge beside being weird was the fountain worth watching or just to weird? | ||||||
| 310 | Mattinglyinthehall ID: 454491514 Mon, Aug 06, 2007, 10:42 | I liked Zodiac. I thought Downey (who I usually can't stand) was just exceptional and totally stole the spotlight from Gyllenhall. | ||||||
| 311 | sarge33rd ID: 99331714 Tue, Aug 07, 2007, 11:41 |
re 309....IF you get good and stoned first, and I mean GOOD and stoned....then you'd probably enjoy Fountain quite thoroughly. Outside of a mindblown high however, you probably wont care for it. re 310...Downey was absolutely superb in his role. | ||||||
| 312 | Mattinglyinthehall Leader ID: 01629107 Thu, Aug 09, 2007, 09:56 | Simpsons was good. Haven't read any reviews but I'd be surprised if avid fans of the show were disappointed. | ||||||
| 315 | Mike D Leader ID: 041831612 Thu, Aug 09, 2007, 17:05 | We laughed the whole way through.....I dig the silly humor. | ||||||

Believe it or not, it took me this long to see Invincible, which I saw last night. It was decent, not great. Greg Kinnear and Marky Mark were very good, but there weren't enough characters to relate to. They all just kind of sat in the background. I did enjoy all of the Eagles scenes, including the fight song. | ||||||
| 317 | beastiemiked ID: 65112917 Fri, Aug 17, 2007, 22:38 | Yeah, invincible was very forgettable. It's a good story. Too bad it was half the movie that Rudy was. | ||||||
| 318 | sarge33rd ID: 76442923 Fri, Aug 17, 2007, 22:52 | FRACTURED was excellent. | ||||||
| 329 | angryChair ID: 459171622 Mon, Aug 20, 2007, 21:22 |
Finally watched Blood Diamond! Incredible movie---disturbing! The scene where the man (forgot his name) was looking at the diamonds in the windows of London summed it all up! | ||||||
| 333 | Great One Sustainer ID: 053272014 Tue, Aug 21, 2007, 10:35 | Thought Wild Hogs was good for a few laughs. I bet a lot on these boards would enjoy it. | ||||||
| 340 | sarge33rd ID: 99331714 Wed, Aug 22, 2007, 17:49 | Just watched that Mon evening. Hilarious!!!! Wild Hawgs was highly entertaining. Not sure I feel any need/desire to own it, but sure glad I saw it. | ||||||
| 341 | Wilmer McLean ID: 55702210 Thu, Aug 23, 2007, 02:30 |
I recored self-ratings of films I watch (1 to 10). The only film that scored a 10 was Ran. Of the past two years' viewing I recommend Running Scared, Little Children, and the recent documentary God Grew Tired of Us. | ||||||
| 348 | coldwater coyotes SuperDude ID: 229272412 Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 10:46 | Walk...if you get a chance go and see "The Nines", opening at the Sunshine this weekend. Even though we are releasing it I am not sure what it is about!!!! | ||||||
