Pee wee's big adventure. I understand the cult status this movie has, but i have to admit, after seeing it for the first time since i was 10 (20 years, eek), i can say honestly i am surprised Tim Burton got another movie deal after it. God what an irritating waste of celluloid....

Thank god for everything else he has doen.

Miss Olivia 07-31-2006 12:32 PM

I always liked Big Top PeeWee better.

Vodstok 07-31-2006 12:46 PM

Never saw it. I like Paul Reubens better as Paul Reubens. It's like i HATE America's funniest home videos Bob sagget and Full House Bob Sagget, But Bob Sagget is hilarious.

Superman Returns....boring, too noise and that guy who played Superman had no acting skills.....some of the scenes was very alike the orginal movie....the whole movie felt unnecessary 3/10

It was a summer movie, a comic book adaptation, and a "remake".

What did you expect? :)

it wasnt a remake...I expected something new and better from Bryan Singer

One Missed Call.
I like Twists, but having 1284941 of them in the final scenes gets a little annoying,. I found myself screaming "FUCKING SETTLE ON ONE!". Still enjoy it though, and the twists. Just got a little out of and there. I think there were about 5 scenes that could have easily been the ending / cliffhanger for the sequel. I liked what they chose as it, though. Very eerie.


EDIT: NOT DRUNK WHEN WRITING THIS. If I had been, it would give me an excuse. But I wasn't. *ashamed*

Masters of Horror- Sick Girl

Really like that one.

Miss Olivia 08-01-2006 12:44 AM

I was poking around in the five dollar sale bin and found The Toy with Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason. It's probably one of the cheesier comedies I've seen, but it still had its funny parts. The little kid really got on my nerves though. He was as fake as McDonald's cheese, and by the end of the movie I wanted to kick whoever gave birth to him.

Memoirs of a Geisha

I haven't read the book, but the movie is awesome. The movie managed to captured every aspect of what it means to live in shadow and longing. I found it to be extremely emotionally charged, and I even found myself sobbing a couple of times.

Grade: A

lady in the water
 
just saw lady in the water last night... the inconsistencies in this movie will bother a lot of people, but i think it must be taken into account that this is a "make-it-up-as-you-go" children's bedtime story. its a cluttered mess, but that makes it endearing and i think night intended it to be this way. however the pacing is off and aside from giamatti the acting isn't quite up to par (i did like the asian girl though). also i'm a little sick of m night showing up in his own movies; making a small cameo appearance would be fine, but playing a vital supporting role (even being a decent actor) irks me. all in all it wasn't a bad movie. the sixth sense, unbreakable, signs were better, but not the village. all we can hope for is that night's movies will keep getting better.

Pee Wee is STILL a fun watch.A comic odyssey, A howling good time.

http://www.euronet.nl/users/mcbeijer...ix/pee-wee.gif


Just don't sit in front of him at the movies.....unless ya want your popcorn "buttered".

bloodrayne 08-01-2006 09:14 AM

Legion Of The Dead


Decent (although common) mummy story....Incantation brings back high Priestess, 6 souls have to be taken to awaken the six mummy warriors, goal: take over the world...

Pretty good gore effects (except for the lame ass CGI blood in the beginning...Blood is one thing that should NEVER be CGI, and never has to be)...Just not ENOUGH gore or effects


Could have been a halfway good movie, but wasn't...Actually...It sucked...

Like4 ive said many times in the past, I am no angel. I love Virtuosity. Peewee just bugs the hell out of me. i like Paul ruebens in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. THAT is funny.

meeting the bikers, his home, fran-cis, large marge, learning to drive with the convict (the convict looking at peewee in the dress...)


great stuff...

the most fun was spotting future SNL people (Jan Hooks and the late, ever so great Phill Hartman) and Elvira

have to agree w/ that. he made that shitty movie bearable.

urgeok 08-01-2006 10:42 AM

i liked Buffy the Vampire slayer too ! (the movie)

for once i had to admit that Rutger Hauer was miscast though ...

i never saw this guy as a vampire - although apparently anne rice always visualized him as Lestat

He probably would have done a better job as Lestat than Tom Cruise did!!

gawd i thought the whole movie was terrible ..

cruise couldnt talk with the fangs in ... the director had brad pitt pouting at the camera for countless closeups ..

i didnt find the story remotely interesting to boot ..

but thats just my opinion .. i'm kind of vampired out..

The book is one of my all time favorites. It's hard to believe that a white man wrote such a convincing story about geishas. It makes the movie less entertaining, though, because of course they butchered the story in Hollywood.

I watched Lethal Weapon 2 last night. I loved the movie, but I have to admit, Mel Gibson is starting to creep me out. Ranting about Jewish people while being arrested for driving drunk gives a whole new light to The Passion Of the Christ for me. Now I will never watch it. Although I will probably go see Apocalypto, because I saw the trailer months ago and it looked either really good or really awful. In any case, I'm too interested not to.

It isn't anti semitic if that's what you mean. It's pretty damn disturbing though.

Miss Olivia 08-01-2006 01:03 PM

I'm glad you said that. I really hate letting outside influences taint my opinion of things before I've seen them.
I would mainly be worried about my opinion of Mel Gibson ruining the movie, because then you start looking for bigotry, whether it's present or not.

I absolutely agree with Austin. I didn't see anything anti-Semitic in it at all. But it is definitely a thought provoking movie.

it isn't that the movie is bad... its actually directed, acted, shot, etc. quite well. what makes it a bad flick (for me at least) is that it focuses on the graphic crucifixion process the ENTIRE movie. i think i said in another thread that this was a vehicle to guilt trip christians into blind faith and that it smothers jesus's message to his people (something like that). so the movie is definitely worth a rent, but be wary about its creator's intentions.

on a side note, i can't wait 'till they release the audio of gibson's arrest on the internet (fucking prick)! :D

The_Return 08-01-2006 01:52 PM

Watched Batman '89 last night.

This is, IMO, tied with the first X-Men as the greatest superhero film EVER. Nicholson as the Joker is the ultimate villain. Burton made Gotham look amazing. A nearly flawless movie.

Just my opinion, but I don't think that's the case at all.
