Caught Cowboys & Aliens in the weekend. Really disappointing aside from Harrison Ford's performance. Daniel Craig was so robotic it's like they just cut n' pasted him from all his other movies. Weak story that was dragged out for way to long. A dull wasted opportunity. Don't pay to see it.

A pretty good made-for-TV horror flick with some fantastic camera works & tensed set pieces. Loved it.

The Muppets (2011)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ppets_ver4.jpg


Sweet. Charming. Happy. And utterly adorable. I loved pretty much every second of this movie and there were scenes that had me laughing so hard that I actually cried. Jason Segal and Amy Adams were nothing short of perfect (especially Ms. Adams - She truly is a singing star). My only odd complaint is that I wish there was more -
  • More cameos (I feel as though Steve Martin really should have made an appearance)
  • More Muppet skits (as soon as they started the Muppet Show, it really picked up and I couldn't stop smiling)

If you're a fan of the Muppets you absolutely HAVE to see this, hands down.

4/5.

The Ward (2010)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ogrl/cdTNW.jpg


Not good, but not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I finished the movie, so that's something. Maybe I'm just a sucker for asylum-based horror films. I also liked that it was sort of a period piece... And I totally have a boner for Lyndsy Fonseca.

All that being said, the apparition was LAUGHABLY bad (utterly awful makeup) and the writing was pretty terrible too (though MAN Amber Heard is a STONE. COLD. FOX.) and the ending - OH THE ENDING - was pretty laughable. bwaaaahahahahahahahahahahahhahaaaaaaaaaaa

I enjoyed it, but can't say it's a good movie.

c is kinda generous for SS Girls - I think the rediculous alsation scene is the only thing of merit in it.

Ditto but also kinda liked the weirdly funny character of Hans Schellenberg, played by Gabriele Carrara...that guy made me giggle one or two times. :D

I really loved that movie and i think Tom Hardy is gonna be a huge star. Can't wait to see him play Bane in the new Batman movie.

I enjoyed this. Liked how they went for a prequel approach rather than a straight up remake... although a lot of similar shit happens (It could be argued that it's basically the original with a female lead) and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Joel Edgerton seemed modelled off Kurt Russell and Keith David. Like most re-envisioned flicks it's dumbed down and quite flashy compared to it's predecessor. Real popcorn for the brain fodder here but not a bad film by any means. Nowhere near as tense as Carpenter's flick and the cast didn't have the same chemistry but it's still pretty entertaining stuff.

Jaws Of Satan

Took me forever to track this down, and it was worth the wait I really enjoyed it.

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...j9FCuZA2UxoLgA
Hobo With A Shotgun

After hearing so many good things about it I had to watch it. Was definitely ridiculous but not as out of the ordinary as everyone makes it out to be. Dont get me wrong, I liked it but it wasnt all it was hyped up to be imo.

I really liked it too and the MMA scenes were really well done for a change. Tom Hardy's sparring scene in the gym near the beginning was cool.

Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds like my kind of movie - an entertainer.

Loved it. Julie Christie is superb, and the wonderful script compliments the atmosphere and mood of the film nicely. Recommended.

Well the moves do look pretty realistic - there are a few prowrestling type suplexs in there but you do see em in MMA the odd time....Hell, Anthony Pettis' kick looked unrealistic even for a film:

Whispering Smith (1948)

-Alan Ladd, Robert Preston
Plot: IMDB

Legendary railroad detective Luke"Whispering" Smith becomes convinced that old friend and colleague Murray Sinclair(who happens to be married to Smith's Ex-Sweetheart) has joined a criminal band to loot the railroad.

Phantom's Review: This is a Great movie. Alan Ladd is perfectly cast as the hero. Robert Preston does a superb job as the happy go lucky friend who goes bad and Brenda Marshall as the woman who loves them both. Beautifully filmed in Technicolor. Solid action and story. Good supporting cast and direction. A classic for western fans

Not bad actually. Particularly liked the scene when a giant shark plucking a young guy off the Jet Ski! :D

The Debt (2010)

http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...dhdc/Debt2.jpg

This is a well made decent espionage thriller (remake of a 2007 Israeli film of the same name) with a great cast but the problem is the main driving thing of the story isn't so much convincing; no agent can't live through all these years with such a lie from their respective agency, IMO.

You should check out a Soderbergh film called The Limey, which stars Terrence Stamp, but it uses scenes from Poor Cow during flashback sequences. Plus, it's just a really good film.

"Warrior" 6/10

For a sports drama it was quite good and well acted. But for a martial arts movie it totally blew. Not a single hit or kick to remember.

Yea, not a big MMA fan.

I think the idea was to make the fight scenes kinda realistic.

For sure.

But that doesn't make a good martial arts movie, does it? It makes a good sports movie.

A movie containing MMA IS a martial arts movie.

That being said, it's not. It IS a sports movie like The Fighter and the Rocky movies. It's much more about the story than the fights. And that's all fine.

But with all the hype this movie got in here i just thought the fights were gonna be awsome.
