Not to mention Romancing the Stone and Wallstreet. Those with The Game, Fatal Attraction, The China Syndrome are probably his best films. Been a long time since I saw Falling Down. I remember loving the subject matter, but just finding it OK. Have to check it out again.

I think his best supporting roles are in Old School and Eastbound & Down.

You guys seen God Bless America? I think it's the only other Falling Down-like movie I've seen so far.

The Witch
 
I loved The Witch. This is set 60 years before the Salem witch trials and is based on reported events of actual witchcraft. Thomasin is a wonderful character who rebels against the repressed Christian warped family values of her father. Hers is a part I would love to play.

The evil and dark atmosphere is there from the start. The Devil finds His way in via a talking goat. Thomasin is tempted. If I were her I would be. Oh yes.

Nightwatch
Mostly enjoyed because of Ewan McGregor, but I missed his glorious facial hair. A fun murder mystery though, much enjoyed.

War of the Roses was hard to watch. They were so mean to each other. Only thing i remember from it is the fall and her flicking his hand off.

Office Killer
Charming little film about a simple business woman who shyly keeps to herself and murders her co-workers. It was a delight. Like a gender swapped version of Psycho. ::smile::

War of the Roses is real horror, nasty divorce, your one true love, the one you trust 100% trust, 100% turned against you, too horrifying to be entertaining.

"Before I Wake" 7/10

Entertaining enough, but not very scary unless you have a fear of butterflies. The story had potential to be an alternative Nightmare on Elm Street but never really went that way. Damn it..


Thumb resize.

"Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising" 6/10

Same as the first but a bit funnier.

Apparently you can't call the police in the world that is Neighbors. If you could, this movie would have been very short.

DARKMAN (1990) Pretty good little flick that was really funny in parts. ***

cheebacheeba 06-03-2016 07:31 AM

The Do-Over.
Bit stupid in parts...of course, it's Sandler.
However, I wouldn't discourage people to watch it.

I used to quite like Sandler. The wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Airheads, Lil Nicky, Mr Deeds, Bulletproof, 8 crazy nights, I thought Reign over Me was actually pretty interesting too.

I never much got into the two that seem to be universally loved by his fanbase Happy Gilmore and Billy Maddison, they just didn't do anything for me.

Though in my mind he's made some really dogshit straight up dumb and unwatchable movies in the later parts of his career. Won't bother mentioning them, but I'll just say the vast majority after 50-first-dates, which I thought was "ok".

This one though?
Maybe it's because he wasn't playing Sandler?
Maybe it's because he wasn't the lead strictly.
For me though, this was the best Adam Sandler film I've seen in some time.
Not really "among his best", true, but a damn site closer to form than most of what I've seen him do in the last decade.

It's on netflix, give it a look with an open mind.

newb 06-03-2016 08:15 AM

ok...so i did end up watching The Do Over. I will agree with Cheebs.....I didn't hate it.

"Eddie the Eagle" 8/10

A wonderful feel-good sports movie.

Antibodies (2007) 10/10
German director Christian Alvart (Case 39) creates a psychological thriller with shocking twists and turns from the moment it hits the screen. Serial killer Gabriel Engel has brutally slaughtered at least a dozen boys and creates art with their blood. When the psychopath is captured, Berlin police is poised to close the string of murders. But in a nearby village, a simple rural cop, Michael Martens, is consumed with solving the homicide of a young local girl. In spite of the evidence, he is convinced that the crimes are connected. As Michael hopes to get a confession from Gabriel, his inquiries pull him into the twisted mind of the deranged killer. When the investigation takes an unexpected turn, the real killer may be much closer to Michael than ever imagined.

Meet Wally Sparks (1997)
Average Rodney Dangerfield comedy.

Back by Midnight (2004)
Nice comedy starring Rodney Dangerfield as a prison warden.

DEAD TONE 2007

A group of young kids are having a sleepover while their parents are partying in another part of the house. They play prank calls on random numbers and then basically pass out. Hours later one of them is woken by the phone ringing. He answers it, an axe packed intruder smashes through the front and slaughters all the parents.

Ten years later...

Extracted (2012)

http://s33.postimg.org/6qoyei6nj/extracted.jpg

Tom, a young scientist who has invented a technique to enter into people's memories finds himself in a challenging & dangerous scenario when a potential investor demands a test run with a task to enter into the mind of Anthony, an addicted, murder convict to see whether he committed the murder. But it all ended up with a severe consequence....Tom's consciousness becomes trapped into the fractured memories of Anthony.

A decent low budget sci-fi drama/thriller with an INCEPTION sort of idea but it didn't try to complicate or twist the plot much.

Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016)

I might have been the only one in the world that wanted a sequel to 2010's criminally underrated Alice in Wonderland, but whether you wanted it or not, here's the sequel. Alice Through the Looking Glass takes place a few years after the first movie after Alice has finished her voyage around the world. When she returns, an old friend from Underland leads Alice through a mirror which leads her back to Underland. She learns that her best friend, the Mad Hatter, has lost his "muchness." The Hatter found the first hat he ever made where his family was killed by the Jabberwocky, and he thinks that his family is still alive, but no one believes him, including Alice. The White Queen devises a plan for Alice to steal a device called the Chronosphere which will allow her to travel back in time and save the Hatter's family. All the characters come back from the first movie, although a lot of them are in smaller roles, but the real standout is newcomer Sacha Baron Cohen as Time. He and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen were surprisingly funny throughout the film and made for some memorable villains. Mia Wasikowska also had a reliably good performance as Alice. Through the Looking Glass doesn't have the thorough world-building that Alice in Wonderland had, but the plot is easier to follow in this one. Along with some breathtaking visuals, Alice Through the Looking Glass should please fans of first film with a fun and exciting return to Underland.

The Silence of the Hams (1994)

Half decent Silence Of The Lambs/Psycho parody starring Billy Zane, Dom DeLuise, Rip Taylor and other familiar faces.

http://s33.postimg.org/vrgv4ogn3/BIW.jpg

Another good one from Mike Flanagan. Liked the simplicity of the plot and that bit moving finale too. My only complain was Kate Bosworth playing the important role of the mother. She's like another Kristen Stewart, who as an actress only possess certain type of emotion/reaction all throughout a movie that eventually becomes annoying to watch, resulting a dull & to some extent, failed portrayal of a character that has significant part in the movie.

Btw, in that old family picture with their deceased son, was that really Thomas Jane in that pic?!? I think that was another guy! ::roll eyes::

Ditto! or a crossover flick with Elm Street! as that kid got enough talent to bring Freedy into the real world! Or she could take her into "Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters" at the end...by revealing the fact that the whole story was actually set in the X-Men universe! ::smile::

Project Almanac (2015)
6/10

A "time-travel fun and consequences" teen drama film, needlessly shot as found footage. Somewhat fun film, with decent production value, that seems to be missing scenes, leaving various plot lines confusing and unsatisfying. OK if your looking for something light, fast and teenie.

Primer (2004) is much better time-travel film (that Almanac steals from) and much more complex. The Butterfly Effect (2004) is better still, much less complicated, better effects with quite a punch; though I seem to be in the minority in praise for the film.
