You're dissing "Karate Kid" AND Chuck Norris, in the same breath? Blasphemy.

oh, i completely forgot:

last friday i went to the music box theatre in chicago to see that glorious cinematic debacle known as troll 2 on the big screen. i got to meet and hang out with michael stephenson and george hardy (joshua and michael waits, respectively). they were both super nice and screened a trailer for best worst movie, which is apparently the documentary they're making about the recent troll 2 revival (?!).

all in all a completely wonderful cinema experience.

Oh no, no, no, no. I'm dissing "Sidekicks" and Chuck Norris. ;)

The Oxford Murders (2008)

I expected an interesting mystery thriller but it wasn't like that at all. Only good thing in the movie was Leonor Watling:rolleyes: .

7/10

Superbad

I showed my brother the Red Band trailer for Pineapple Express and he laughed his ass off and said, "Do we have Superbad?" and I said, "No, why? Haven't seen it yet?" and he was like, "Nope." So imediately I say Let's go to Blockbuster and buy it. So I call Blockbuster and they said they had 3 for $20 DVDs so I bought Superbad, Bourne Ultimatum, and The Mist so we came home and watched Superbad because he never saw it and we just laughed our asses off like normal. The things and themes in this movie I can relate to very much. This is how my friends and I talked in public and high school and it just made both of us love it that much more.

8.5/10

The Mist

I saw this in the movie theatre and it hit me hard. Very well made and it was just that suspenseful and crazy. My brother never saw it so we watched this again and my brother loved it. He has a son so the ending was hard for him. But this flick if you have never seen it is very well made, very well acted, and is very sad and hard hitting.

9/10

I think Pineapple Express looks pretty much like their best effort yet...time'll tell though...

Phantasm 2

Since I had only watched the first one earlier in the day, I guess I had a different perspective on it to most. I thought it was a good sequal, it was more squirmy than the origanal, but they didn't advance the story any which was a shame.


6/10

Holy shit, fortunado, I was almost there!

I'm alwaaays at the Music Box Theatre, but being away at college hindered my ability to go to some of the best events this year (Music Box Massacre, Sci-Fi Marathon, etc.).

I've had some of my greatest silver screen moments there- seeing The Day the Earth Stood Still and then Patricia Neal in person, seeing Inland Empire and then David Lynch in person, seeing Rope and then getting Farley Granger's autograph. What a fantastic theatre.

Aqua teen hunger force colon movie film for theaters


Hu ha ha, it's as funny as the show, actually funnier than the last lot of episodes I watched. Not somthing that happens very often with the t.v show to movie transition.


8/10

Wow!! I just found out that Jonathan Brandis hang himself in 2003!!!??

That's so sad. He was quite talented. And the eyes, man. The eyes...

For shame.




The movie still sucks tho.

Hellboy Iron and Blood (or was it Blood and Iron?) Anyway, not a bad animated translation of the character, just something to kill time while waiting for the wife to get off work so we can start a bonfire.

ahh, yes. it was such a great time.
the music box is definitely an incredibly incredible place.
i missed the inland empire premier! argh, i was so pissed.
still am, actually.

The Darjeeling limited


Wes Anderson in India. That's basicly what it was. I'd like to see him make a movie with an entire new cast, see what he comes up with. This was still an enjoyable film, but another movie in this vain may be stretching it. His next movie is set to be an animation of a Rohl Dahl novel, which may shake it up a bit.

6/10

Indiana Jones: KOTCS
As good as I expected and hoped it to be. A bit cheesy at parts but hey...its and Indiana Jones flick. Don't much care for Shia Labeouf but I managed to get past his presence. I would probably rank it 3rd out of the four, Temple of Doom IMO being the worst.

The Cave:
Originally saw this in the theater and wasn't impressed but my wife likes it so we own it and I gave it another viewing. The creatures and filming location are pretty awesome but other then that it is pretty predictable and cliche.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Oh man, I bought ALL the books and the workbook too....:eek:
I knew reading it, it felt all wrong...the same happened when I watched the movie.

[rec] (2007)

-FINALLY saw this, and wow. what a blast. some truly terrifying sequences as well (like the last 25 minutes!). can't wait to buy this one.

Grizzly Park (2008)

>>: D

What did you think??

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, last night.

Rambo[2008]

Hey....its a Rambo movie....no Oscar contender but a fun ride. Some nice CGI carnage...some...a little too evident. Sly can still hold it together for this character.


White Lightening [1973]

Good ol boy Burt Reynolds movie.....nice car chases...moonshining....corrupt sheriff.....typical 70's movie fare.

There were workbooks ?? :eek:

@Gore: Loved it... especially Paul Rudd, even if he doesn't get much screen time. Really looking forward to whatever project they have in store next.

Rocky.......

The Initiation.

Dan in real life, thought it was ok. Stranger than fiction, really liked it. Balls of Fury, thought it was just about the dumbest movie I have ever seen.

Watched them all in one day:rolleyes:

Iron Man

Second viewing...just as badass.

All the Queen's Men

Urban Legend
Mountaintop Motel Massacre
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Return of the Killer Tomatoes
Return to Horror High

High Fidelity

sexy beast (2000)

i've always really loved this movie, and have found it is often overlooked. everything is just really solid. plus, don logan (ben kingsley) is an absolute madman. complete psychopath. such an extremely entertaining character.

does anyone else like this movie?

Electra Glide in Blue and

The Business of Strangers

I've never seen it but it now goes to the top of my list.

Rocky II......

cool. yeah, i think you'll dig it. it's not completely astounding or anything, it's just so much fun to watch.

----------------------------------------------

hollywood boulevard (1976)

heh, yeah.

all the real girls (2003)

david gordon green is amazing. my third time watching it and it's still so great.

Absolutely loved it.

Not as much for the story as for all the colorful characters and perormances.

Actually... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203119/usercomments-233


Ben Kingsley Should've got the Oscar for that performance..

The Strangers

Hmmm. Ok. It was very good. I mean very. It was suspenseful, and not too incredibly hollywood. The beginning make me doubtful because of the "This is all true, believe this story and be scared" opening, but it turned out to be really suspenseful. It has a great combo of suspense and scares, but the thing is... The ending blows. I mean really blows. It's actually a great horror ending but it still pisses me off. Overall- 7/10. With a different ending- 8.5/10



I'll spoil it below so be warned:

The couple both get stabbed to death, and its so stupid because by the end, you actually want these guys to live. They weren't ignorant and the choices for survival that they made were intelligent for the most part. Two kids walk in the house later and the last reel is the woman waking up screaming, and you don't know whether she lived or died. The thing that makes me mad about it is the fact that the killers stalk them playfully yet violently ALL fuckin night and then in the end they just tie them up and stab them. It's like... They were terrifying and played cat and mouse really well, then they turned around and stabbed them while they couldn't defend themselves. The killers lost the fight in my mind because they put on such a great and theatrical show, only to blow it themselves in the end.

Diary of the Dead - 5/10
I hate to say it....but Romero is slippin'. It was a good idea...but it's too bland. All the blood and gore was CGI. What happened to blood bags and pigs guts?

Rambo - 6/10
It was alright. Same story with ole John. All the violence was killer though.

Had a quiet night at work last night so got to watch a few films:

House of 1000 Corpses

I have seen it once before. An OK film as an homage to American horrors of the 70's. Not one of my favourites but I enjoyed it more the second time around.

Island of Death

Not as shocking as I was hoping. But a reasonable study of a couple who set out to rid an isolated island of depravity, but being just as depraved as the inhabitants they wish to destroy.

Night of the Demon (1980)

The one about a bigfoot creature (not the earlier classic B&W film). Quite gory, but looks pretty fake. Personally, I found it a bit tedious.

The director's cut of "Lucker: The Necrophagous." - 3/10
