Venneh Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Just saw Hangover this afternoon. It was a pretty solid movie. It didn't have me, say, rolling on the ground laughing, but it got a few laughs out of me for the sheer absurdity of the situations. Gonna go see Precious tonight at our campus center's cinema. God, I love being a college student and not having to pay to see recent good movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Watching Psych, and Colonel Tigh is guest-starring as a grizzled ship captain. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Nope. Though I think that actually owning a boat kinda balances the pirate image back out. And he's eeeeeeeeevill.... Ooooh, now Seven of Nine is showing up as a shark biologist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Went and saw Precious last night. Good movie, well-made, just be ready for a one-two sucker punch of depression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 30 Rock = SOOOO awesome last night. Jack: Jonathan! Why aren't the phones ringing? Is it senior executive skip day? That's usually in the Spring, so we can go to an amusement park... Jonathan: I don't know, sir! *GASP!* Maybe we're the last people on Earth! WE ARE LEGEND. You're Will Smith, and I'm the dog!

Stavros Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thursday nights for me are now a direct competition between 30 Rock and Archer on FX, and Archer won last night by some way even though 30 Rock had Michael Sheen. Nothing on 30 Rock could match "That girl was like, the Pele of Anal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Fido Really didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Not particularly funny at any point and the satire is way too on the nose to be effective in any way. Carrie Anne Moss was hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Just watched Zombieland. I enjoyed it, but I am so over Jesse Eisenberg. He plays the same character in every movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I've only seen him in one movie then. It's not just him. All this generation's nerd actors are like that. Jesse Eisenberg, Michael Cera, John Heder, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse all play the same roles over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cera's probably the one that'll last longest of those guys, plus he is moving into more versatile stuff now. Can't wait for Scott Pilgrim. Its not fair to say that about Mintz-Plasse either, he was McLovin once, but he hasn't had a film career really big enough to step outside that yet. I think he looks pretty different in Kick-Ass.

He was pretty much the same in Role Models, and from what I've seen he plays Red Mist the same way in Kick-Ass. Him and Cera were both in Year One as the same types.

Stavros Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'm halfway through the Bourne Trilogy. The casting is superb, the nameless assassins so far have been Clive Owen and Karl Urban, it doesn't get much better. In terms of quality this might be the most consistently good film series I can think of. It's certainly one of the few where it only got better and better.

SuaveStar Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'm watching Cougar Town. Which is the new show for Courtney Cox from the maker of Scrubs. It's not a bad show, but it's not something I see getting a second season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Shutter Island- Very good, very offputting film. I felt constantly on the edge of seeing something truly disgusting on my screen, and several times that promise was fulfilled. Not exactly an original concept but still, very well executed.

Guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Watching I Spit on Your Grave with the Joe Bob Briggs commentary. Somehow manages to turn a rape revenge movie into a disturbing comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Watched The Blind Side on the weekend, I need to officially hand back my 'man card', I was a blubbering mess through it. I'd just finished reading the book and so I knew the key moments and themes and still got emotionally smacked around! A friends in-laws saw it and he told me they went home and reviewed their donations for the year, to make sure they were doing enough.

JackFetch Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I finally started watching this season's Lost. I've somehow managed to stay away from spoilers this long so I figured I'm pushing my luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Time Bandits:Terry Gilliam tries to make a kids movie, produces cinematic abortion. Cameos from Sean Connery, John Cleese and Shelly DuVall were not enough to make me not hate this. David Warner as the villain, not enough to save this. How can a movie about time traveling dwarves robbing Napoleon be this bad? How? Out of five stars, fuck this movie. Terry Gilliam did Fear and loathing. That gets him a pass, everything else he's made has verge on mediocre, to just plain shite* *I don't count Python films, as he co-directed most of them with Terry Jones. Fisher King, Brazil, 12 Monkeys, Tideland...oh yeah. Totally mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door A really powerful film with a shit ending. Agreed. But after that movie, they would have been terrified to end like the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
