Ugh! Whoever thought Artie Lang could carry a movie must have never seen his comedy before. There were a handful of funny moments but for the most part, this was just painful to sit through. Totally contrived plot, really weak script & dialogue, mediocre acting and way too many unfunny jokes. This movie sucked, don't waste your time.

Black Snake Moan

If there was a point to this movie, then I must have missed it. Samuel L. Jackson & Christina Ricci both do a superb job acting their parts and Justin Timberlake does a decent job of portraying a spastic crybaby, but the plot is just beyond stupid. I was hoping the ending would give relevance to the rest of the film, but unfortunately, that was not the case. On the contrary, the sappy ending made a lame film even lamer. As far as I can tell, there wasn't much more going on than a skanky whore that gets chained up by an old balck dude until she learns the error of her whore-ish ways. For me, the sole redeemingly quality in this film was Ricci's hooters, but even those were tainted by the white trashiness of her character.

Man.... I need to watch something I know is good now. Too many crap movies in a row makes the prospect of watching any film lose it's appeal.

Battle Royal: It was my second viewing and it lost most of it's shock value. Still a good movie but I remembered it being gorier.

Black Snake Moan is a character study, of a handful of people and the area they live in. It depicts a time frame in these peoples lives - not the entire cycle, because... that would take a long time. In a realistic sense; problems do not fade right away, everything is not perfect, and the story doesn't end when the credits roll. That's why I like Black Snake Moan. It doesn't give you a bullshit ending. The characters will continue to struggle with their problems, they are not cured instantly and treated to the perfect life. I hope you understand what I'm trying to convey... because I suck at explaining even my own thoughts.

So yeah... the point was... to present a universe with these characters; to bring them to life and create an atmosphere around them... along with dropping a few low-key messages along the way. Nothing ever DOESN'T have a point... it's just that some are really bad or might be missed easily. :)

captivity or whatever its called, something to do on a rainy day but the supposed twist at the end was obvious, and i know everyone on here would have figured it out the second i did as soon as you see someone in the other room, meh! i hoped i was wrong and there actually was a twist but we live in a post saw world and we see these twists coming 15mins into the film.

I didn't really know much about this film going in to it so I didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be pretty entertaining. Wahlberg & Glover do a good job in their roles, the action scenes are done pretty well, the main drawback for me was that the whole plot seemed totally unbelievable. It just didn't seem plausible that such a massive & far reaching set up could be carried out without anyone but 1 rookie FBI agent raising an eyebrow.

If you can overlook the fact that this entire story is based on a situation that is extremely unlikely, then this film is pretty entertaining.

Presenting a universe with characters and a few messages was the point of the film? Well, I guess if that counts as a point, then yes, every film has a point because every movie presents a universe with characters and messages.

A bit more specific, I'd say the film's point was "Don't be a whore" but to me, that's kind of a stupid point to base a film around. I was not entertained by it all, although like I mentioned, the acting was spot on.

Has some really nice effects, good atmospheric build-up. The trouble starts midway when it slips down so bad it doesnt get up till the end credits.

Could have been better...much better. But it isnt.

Watch it if you have absolutely nothing else to do. Otherwise, dont bother.

The Good German

Really cool and really stylistic, but it's really only for those fans of old b/w noir spy thrillers like Notorious. I'd go so far as to say Soderberg made his "Grindhouse" but as an ode to Bogey and Bacall, not Corman and Hill. Not as good as the material it references, but a loving tribute to a bygone film style nonetheless. Excellent use of stock footage & rear screen projection give it a great period feel. If the storytelling had been a bit more cohesive I'd give it a higher rating, but It's another solid, entertaining outing from Soderberg and Clooney. Highly recommended to Alky, Neverending, Crabby & Newb...Zwoti might dig it too.

Good movie. I m glad you got around to watching it. The plot was excellent, but it needed a bit more directional touchê to be a true modern classic.:cool:

Quite entertaining. The gory suffering scenes of the teacher (@ the beginning) and Ta's father were splendid!
Though there is no similarity on the storyline but this one is much better than it's first part.

I watched Blood Diamond the other night. It was a pretty good story. I would say 7/10. I haven't watched any good horror for a while now I need to get back on track.

Transformers

It was a LOT better than I thought it would be, and while I'm not a giant Transformers nerd I did own all the metal toys when I was a kid so I went in knowing a bit about the franchise. One tiny part bothered me though. I don't mind product placement at all, but at one point they paused on a product as if to give us enough time to read the brand name. Oh, and what about that JJ Abrams trailer? The first thing I thought was Godzilla and I see somebody on IMDB thought that too. I guess it's called "Cloverfield", Sick-As and V have posted that... I can't wait for it. Why does that man have to be so mysterious all the time? Ah well, looks to be a kick ass movie whatever it is.
