Ava Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I just saw The King's Speech tonight with my friends and I really liked it. The swearing part was hysterical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 See, the more I think back on it, the more I'm not that much of a fan of it. It seems like there were parts they had very deliberately written ahead of time as centerpieces (the penguin/albatross story, the swearing, the fireplace revelation, the Abbey revelation, the final speech and the prespeech), and those were all well and good, but they had to find a way to connect them, and that's where it failed for me - in the connections that should have kept that momentum going.

SuaveStar Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hardware I really can't even explain what I've just watched. Incredibly bland futuristic hell hole. Incredibly generic in all areas, and bland. The only thing really that can be taken away is Limmy from Motörhead being a taxi driver and saying how great this band he's listening to is. And the band is Motörhead. Crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The A-Team movie gets a grade of FUCK YEAH! from me! This was so much damn fun. It made me feel like a kid again. Sure, it had its problems -- namely, Jessica Biel's acting was flat and some of the digital effects were quite obvious -- but I can get past all that.

Venneh Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 The Social Network - yes, yes, I finally saw it. And you know what? I couldn't relate to anyone in this film, cause they were all douchebags. I'll give it the score, and the story itself was well-crafted. But I honestly couldn't feel any reason to care about any of the people in here. And Eduardo being all woobieish is questionable, mainly because the source material for the script is his side of the story. One of those movies you watch to say you watched it, for me. And yes, I am pretty much Suaving The Social Network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Watched Unknown with Liam Neeson on the weekend, was very enjoyable. Not sure if I was a fan of the ending or not, but some of the individual performances were quite good. January Jones was serviceable, but her character was one of the weakest so I won't judge her too harshly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Non-DM and MTM stuff: Zack and Miri Make a Porno-on Netflix instant and Megan suggested it (weirdly enough). Elizabeth Banks is adorable and Craig Robinson manages to make it somewhat watchable, but overall it is an abysmally unfunny hacky piece of shit. Awful. I'm not sure who I hate more: Kevin Smith or Jason Mewes. But since the world wouldn't know who Mewes is without Kevin Smith, Smith wins that one by a hair. Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes-watched the first six episodes with my son as he was home sick the other day and I was astonished at how well-written it was. I have a few issues with the animation but the story is awesome. Besides the opening two parter, there is no Avengers for at least the following four episodes! Very impressed. I look forward to the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I dunno, I could find salvageable bits of funny in there here and there, and I was kind of a sucker for the Rogen/Banks romance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Watching Batman & Robin. I think this movie works much better if you think of it as a sequel to the 60s Batman rather than the three movies that came before it.

SuaveStar Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Lethal Weapon: Who knew it was a Christmas movie? And who also knew that apart from Gary Busey, it was a boring pile of shit? Not me, that's for sure. Crap dialogue, Gibson and Glover don't actually feel like friends, and just almost boring to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George W. Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Lethal Weapon: Who knew it was a Christmas movie? And who also knew that apart from Gary Busey, it was a boring pile of shit? Not me, that's for sure. Crap dialogue, Gibson and Glover don't actually feel like friends, and just almost boring to watch. Watch the second one. Far more fun (minus Joe Pesci) and they actually feel like friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Taken: First half hour was boring and really awfully generic. However, after it gets away from all that and becomes the Liam Neeson show, it goes into an all out crazy as hell one man marine corps movie. I felt the ending was a bit lucky, but other than that, and the dull opening, I enjoyed the film a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Liam Neeson is a 58 year old Jason Bourne. Also, Taken is great for the terrible acting of his daughter, not to mention she runs like an idiot, and the fact that everything that happened was because his ex wife is a manipulative bitch.

Missy Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Just finished Jason X, which was so much better than it had any right to be. It took every cliché from the genre (and others) and used them to the advantage of the film. Even the cheesiest parts, such as when Kay-Em becomes a badass (RE: Trinity), were funny if you understand that the movie is supposed to be a semi-serious send-up. Next to Freddy vs. Jason, this one might be my favorite of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 It's probably my third favorite after The Final Chapter and the reboot. With the bar as low as it is with the franchise, it really stands out as one of the best by throwing any pretense of taking things seriously out the window.

Guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Yeah, I'll never understand why that movie gets so much hate. It's tons of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yeah, I'll never understand why that movie gets so much hate. It's tons of fun. Because it wasn't a generic Jason film. It was a Jason film....in Space! Also, Super Jason was a giant cock tease. Salt What do you get when you put Angelina Jolie in a film like the first Bourne movie? Well, you get action here at least. SHame the action doesn't look that good and the story is shit. Waste of time sitting down to watch this, and when it ended, all I could say was "Well.....that's a nice set up for a sequel. Shame I won't be watching it" And then I didn't know who I'm supposed to care about. This evil sleeper agent, or the government trying to protect the president from an attack Also: Liev Schreiber suddenly starts talking with a southern accent when he becomes the Russian bad guy. I know that should be awesome. But it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
