Vantage Point.
A movie redeemed by its last 20 mins or so.
Awesome car chase.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Awesomely unrealistic car chase! Wasn't that the stupid movie where that little car (what was it, a Focus?) got railed by an 18-wheeler? Physics would have annihilated that car.

I had to sit through that movie in theaters, maybe that's why I'm bitter.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw I, Robot again. Great movie, 8/10. Maybe 9/10.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

American Pie: Beta House

I tend to avoid the spin-offs but heard good stuff about this one.
It was a fun college movie. Apparently, it was a sequel to the prior one but wasn't too interested in seeing it.

And it seems like the Stilfer clan became the stars of the movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Oh GODS the reverse timer countdown! All twenty people in the theater were groaning by the third time, and were openly mocking the movie by the tenth time they reversed time back to zero. What a terrible plot device.

And, yes, whatever that tiny ass car was, I want one of those for me and my family.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Not saying it was a masterpiece of theatre nor was the climax realistic, but it was a fine good car chase. :lolz:


I thought it would never end.
Was watching with my co-worker and the first time it did it we groaned. And then the second.. and third.. and jeebsus.

Finally, she left to get some food and I told her the scene she left for was the final one they did it for. haha

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Step-Brothers a couple of days ago...It was...interesting. 10 minutes in you basically know that the plot is going absolutely nowhere and is more or less pointless. It's as if Ferrell, Reilly, and Apatow just said "wouldn't it be funny if we just had these two 40 year olds who become step-brothers, and then in turn act like 9 years for 1.5 hours? Who cares if it doesn't make sense, we'll write about 100 good one-liners and we're good to go!"

That said, it is actually pretty funny, and part of me respects that they just threw out the idea of having an intelligible plot and just went straight for the funny lines. I heard that the original cut of the film was 5.5 hours, and that would have probably been unbearable, but at 1.5 hours I recommend it, it made me laugh enough to warrant a trip to the movies.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

So I saw Hancock after TDK today.

It was okay but wish they went a bit more into the backstory. and maybe created some villains instead of some random jailbirds who were angry.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I watched In The Mouth of Madness last night...

I used to be big into horror films, then a week or so ago my boss asked me "So do you have any other horror recommendations besides Session 9?", and I drew a blank...

Supposedly the film is John Carpenter as influenced by H.P. Lovecraft... But... Not being a big reader, I can't say I'm really familiar with him other than hearing his name tossed around everywhere as a big influence on everybody involved in horror...

A few genuinely creepy moments... But overall pretty goofy and uninteresting...

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I watched The Dark Night last friday (opening night here) in an IMAX theater. Everything's already talked to death about it, so I'll just say I loved it :)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

That very well may be, but you're missing out on a great thriller by skipping No Country for Old Men. The film has hands down one of the scariest "bad guys" you will ever see in a movie.

The movie felt like a TV show. It had TV show production feel all over it. It had similar production values to a show like 24. And yes, everyone was groaning after the 2nd or 3rd restart of events. It was like a non clever way to make a plot more complex by slowly revealing layers of information...only without the challenging aspect of not presenting the information linearly. It was like Tarantino for dummies. It was pretty bad.

But alas, it was just a movie.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Just watched Road House.


Had some really funny parts.



Though I have to say Patrick Swayze kicks like a girl

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Wall-E. Very cute, would have been a great choice for (part of) a romantic date. But alas, she doesn't like movies.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I finally joined the hip grown-up crowd and watched Taxi Driver.

Not ever having seen or heard anything about the movie other than the poster you see in everybody's house featuring De Niro dual-wielding guns, I was under the impression that the film was some crazy crime drama about a complete violent whackjob. And that someone in it drove a taxi.

I was right about one of those things.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Now all you need to do is watch Raging Bull.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

My boss told me that 99% of Raging Bull is De Niro beating his wife.
But I'll get around to it eventually...

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Haha, Scorsese is a fun director. In order of interest to me, I'd say go see:

Goodfellas
The Departed
Casino
Cape Fear

Goodfellas is all the more interesting since it is based off some true events.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Haven't seen any of them. Sucks to be me.

I did see Ferris Bueller's Day Off for the first time and part of Amelie with Audrey Tautou (sp?)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Harold and Kumar Escape from Guametela Bay.

And it is decent, but the movie is too self aware. The first one worked because it was trying to be an adventure. This one is trying to be funny, and when you do that sometimes you fall on your face faster.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

:love:
Great feel-good movie. Hm, I haven't seen it in 2 or 3 years, even though I have it on DVD...

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I'm telling you guys.. go find Lone Star State of Mind.

The last movies I watched were Juno and National Treasure 2.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

This was my first post-TDK movie going experience (and paid for by the nice folks at my job) it wasn't that great. Has some really cheap looking special effects. And a story that's a lot of weird.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

But you got to see the Harry Potter teaser on the big screen, didn't you?

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Darjeeling Limited. I'll give it an 8.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Yes, exactly! And I finally remembered the name of the movie that the editors of Vantage Point should have sat down and watched before they did what they did -- Memento. Great, non-linear story-telling at its best.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I agree....actually, I think I dislike Harold and Kumar 2 a little bit more than you...but that pretty much sums it up. Also, the chick from the end of the first movie wasn't even in the sequel, they had some new girl do her roll....some dumb ho girl who wasn't half as hot.

Memento is a fun film...directed by Christopher Nolan. Oh, Christopher Nolan....
<3

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I just saw Full Metal Jacket. A decent war movie. Only got a bit interesting for me when they were under fire by the sniper... 7/10.
Oh yeah, it reminded me how much I hate war.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

The Bucket List. 6/10.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

What were your complaints?
I didn't think it was as good as it could have been.
Really sucked that there wasn't a lot of focus on the actual bucket list.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I've avoided the Bucket List because they looked so OLD in the previews. :( So depressing on principal alone.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Dyne hates old people confirmed?

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I want Tropic Thunder, and I want it now.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I do, I think life would be better with Logan's Run rules.




But changed to 45

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Demolition Man. Sylvester Stalone vs Wesley Snipes, set in a peaceful 2032. It was fun to see their take on the future, but the movie was pretty bad. Oh, terrible one-liners ("You're on TV!" *grabs a TV and hits the bad guy with it*).
6/10

Re: Last movies you saw
 

No Country for Old Men. 7/10.

Disturbing.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Bond you cant be serious.....

I thought you were cool.


;)

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Saw Wall-E the other day. Quite good. Liked the end credits a lot. But no Kung Fu Panda.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

Just saw Step Brothers. I liked it, it was entertaining.

I have no fucking clue how the budget came to be only 7 million less than Talladega Nights, clocking in at $65 million, for a movie that centers around a house and has literally two shots of boat-riding.

But yeah, it was a non-stop jokeathon. Probably a 7/10 for me.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I saw Tropic Thunder last night. It had some very hilarious moments, and some good surprise cameos. I don't know if Stiller will ever top Zoolander, but this was a really good comedy.

Re: Last movies you saw
 

I watched The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, the first silent film I've ever watched...
I began to lose track of just what they were trying to say was going on towards the very end U.U
