Adams Family Values ..
ruined by 100 'droll one liners' given to goth-girl Wednesday.

Poseidon ... not as bad as i thought it would be .,.. some nice action sequences .. good effects, some tension and a couple of fairly disturbing scenes...
maybe I'm turning into a softy..

Pterodactyl ... horrible piece of shit .. couldnt finish it...

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind .. after listening to the audio book this was a huge dissapointment. too many key elements of the book changed .. not to suit the viewer .. but to suit the filmmaker. completely unneccessary and far less compelling than Barris' own telling of his story.

I really like Clooney but he fucked this one up.

Santa's Slay. Go ahead and laugh, but it wasn't as bad as you'd think. It was more a black comedy, than a horror film though.

joshaube 08-13-2006 06:08 PM

Santa's Slay is pretty enjoyable. :p
I watched it back in October on Spike, during their "dinner and a movie"-type show. They had interviews from the cast of SAW II.

Evil Dead II & Dead & Breakfast

Both rewatches. :) Love them.

well acted film ..

Date Movie - 0/10 - I went in with low expectations and it managed to be worse than I expected. I waited there thinking it can't get any worse, but yes it kept getting worse. Too bad because I really like Allyson Hannigan and Eddie Griffin.

Doom - 6/10 - After seeing Date Movie, this seemed like Oscar material. The movie had some nice action and the creatures were well done. I'm glad they didn't use CGI for the monsters. I had a problem with the story and the seemingly stupid behavior of the marines. Also annoying was the sequence in which the movie went into first person mode, just like the game. Why do directors feel the need to show us what the game looks like? Must have went to the Uwe Boll school of filmaking.

Brick - 9/10 - A great movie with an excellent script and a tight plot. The acting was top notch, especially the kid from 3rd Rock From The Sun show. I was kinda lost in the beginning because I didn't understand some of the lingo in the dialogue. I didn't know if this had to do with my age or geography(Midwest, the movie takes place in Cali I think). Check it out if you get a chance.

Ultimate Avengers - 8/10 - I enjoyed this animated movie. Of course I was a big Avengers fan when I was younger. The only thing I had a problem was that it was just over and hour. I wish it would've been longer, especially since the sleeve from Netflix listed it as 2 hrs.

Sorry, but this keeps bugging me. Its Addams, with 2 D's. Don't worry, my OCD annoys me too.




I saw Pulse on Friday. 2 stars

1 for the # of scary parts & 2 for the # of funny parts.


Horrible dialog. Terrible grammar. Not one did it scare me enough to get my heart beating. And for crying out loud, its HUNG! Not hanged!!! HUNG!

I really had high expectations for this one. ::sigh::

"The Ron Clark Story"

A surprisingly non-cheesy "Good natured teacher saves class full of kids with attitudes" movie. Matthew Perry was good, very good. It'll be on 100 times in the next week if you missed it, i would actually recommend it. And the kids acting in it were actually good, not kids who got the part because their cousin was a gaffer.


Also, the Incredibles.... I had forgotten how much i love this movie... more than a 30 year should, but it is just so godamn funny and cool.

"Oh my god! You ACTUALLy got me monlologuing!"

Watched Shrek 2 last night...not the first time, of course, but I enjoyed it. Not as good as the first, but it's still pretty amusing.

I agree completly.

Did you here they've bought the rights to The Munsters?:mad: :mad:

alkytrio666 08-14-2006 11:50 AM

The Brood (1979)-

Holy shit! What an awesome flick. I cannot believe I ahven't seen this by now, I thought it was very well done and even creepy.

9.5/10

Remember In lIving Color? What a great show.... The Wayans boys being funny.. Jim Carrey...

Then Scary movie 1 and 2.... Scary Movie 1 almost killed me i laughed so hard... the frigging sex scene.. the bats. the bush. the "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH SHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!" then the girl getting pasted to the ceiling while the guy shrivelled up. i literally stopped breathing.

Phalanx 08-14-2006 01:01 PM

Scary movie 1 was great...2 was "ok", 3 was pathetic, and there it stopped for me. I've heard 4 is even worse.
DATE movie was just garbage, and entirely unfunny...didn't even chuckle once...
Little man? Is that what it's called? Looks like I won't be seeing that on account of it looking like the same kinda stupid shit white chicks was.
However, they don't completely suck. I remember thinking senseless was pretty funny, and again scary movie 1 was great...even "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" had its moments...
but considering the SHIT theyre released since, they really need to lift their game. They went from making funny stupid films to "so stupid theyre not even funny enough to be so stupid they're funny"...its too bad.

Vodstok 08-14-2006 01:07 PM

Little Man was pretty much universally panned as not worth seeing for free. I heard a radio review that said it had 2 jokes that illicited a bit of a laugh, and more nut-shots than any other film in history.

It wasnt bad. No plot whatsoever, but the action was good and the night watchman dude was hilarious.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I like this movie, it's too bad the songs were almost all horrible. Second time I've seen it and I'll watch it again I'm sure.

The first X Men movie....they couldn't have started the series any better than this in my opinion. I can't wait for the third one to come out on DVD.

I love both the first two X-Men movies. It's too bad they didn't finish the series with a quality third movie. X3: The Last Stand was one of the biggest disappointments of the year, if not the last decade. I won't pick up the DVD when it comes out. In fact I'll just act like it was never made.

I agree that it fell far short of expectations, but I'm still going to get it because it wasn't ALL terrible. I hope that if they make another one (because it seems like they set up the scenario for another sequel) they take it back to the style of the first movie. They made you care about the characters in the first one, unlike X3 where they were just flinging cameos left and right....with no character development whatsoever.

Tales from the Crapper

Umm yeah well it was pretty much a porn, but I did enjoy the second half about the vampires, and that was because of the party scene with some cameo's. I guess in a weird way I enjoyed it;)

PeaSoupintheye 08-15-2006 08:58 AM

I will continue on whilst Igot a few mins to list a few more of the movies I've recently seen:

Small Soldiers

I really enjoyed this - when it first came out I was never bothered about it but found in a bargain bin, it was well worth the £2.49 I paid. Not as good as the Pixar stuff but a really enjoyable popcorn movie all the same...

7/10


Green Street

Hmmm...well being a fanatical Manchester United fan I had to swallow the pro West Ham shit that was being branded about and concentrate on the fact it was 'just a movie'...hmmmph, as far as entertainment goes this is a good film. As far as realistic in terms of football firms and violence - it's a non-starter - OTT and unrealistic. If you fancy an entertaining voilent film then I guess you can't go far wrong, if you want a relasitic portrayal of British hooliganism leave this well alone. Not as good as The Firm, ID, Football Factory but a decent enough film overall.

7/10


Sympathy For Mr Vengeance

I thoroughly enjoyed this little gem...good opening to the 'trilogy' - good tense parts - and very well acted. Good build up for Oldboy for me (coming up next)

8/10

one of my favorites ..
good voicework .. nice effects ... the kids werent too obnoxious ..

i liked the scene where they tried flushing people out of the house by playing that terrible music.

We have a bunch of the small soldiers toys .. quite a few were made despite how relatively unknown the movie is ..
