Hah, almost saw that, glad I didnt.

My last one was Guess Who? Which dispite the dumb title (makes me think of the kid's game) turned out to be funny. Not that best movie but not bad either.

Napoleon Dynamite - I guess I'm one of the folks the humor seems to be wasted on. I chuckled a couple of times, but other than that...zilch. Maybe..maybe a 3/10.

Constantine - Despite all the shit I heard about this movie sucking, I actually enjoyed it. I imagine it's because I wasn't familiar with the character from the hellblazer comics (or whatever series the movie is based loosely on). I thought it looked good, had some good stuff in the story and Rachel Weisz in a wet shirt always scores good in my book. Should've been a bit grittier in my opinion a little more backstory couldn't have hurt. 8/10

40 year old virgin. Funny. 8/10

Have to agree with the 8/10 or maybe even a 9/10

funny.. lots of good one liners.. keep me laughing most the movie :)

good flick to go see at the theatres right now

Yea, I enjoyed it alot. Real funny.

Just watched Interview With a Vamp for the first time.. movie was pretty good, I thought the ending sucked. 6/10.

Be Cool

John Travolta reprises his role as Chili Palmer and Danny DeVito as Martin Weir in little more than a cameo. This time Chili, who by now is disenchanted with the movie business, wants to produce music.

The problem I have with Be Cool is that it tries to be Get Shorty all over again. Several of the scenes are transplanted almost directly from the first film (we now have the Cadillac of hybrids instead of the Cadillac of minivans) and there are a number of indirect parallels. Had I not seen the original I would've enjoyed this movie immensely; however, the humour now seems stale, as most of it is recycled.

The thing that saves this movie from being totally abysmal is the acting. The Rock puts out a great performance as Elliot, the gay bodyguard, Andre 3000 plays rapper Dabu to perfection and Cedric the Entertainer as producer/extortionist Sin LaSalle works out surprisingly well. John Travolta of course fits the Chili Palmer role perfectly and Uma Thurman turns in an acceptable performance as Edie Athens. To her credit, there wasn't a whole lot to the character, meaning she really didn't have much to work with. Travolta and Thurman play well off each other, but fall short of the sizzling chemistry seen in Pulp Fiction, perhaps due to the inferior script to work with.

Be Cool can't decide what it wants to be. It alternately pokes fun at itself, sequels in general and Get Shorty, then attempts to change gears and become more serious. Throughout the film I got the feeling that it was an attempt to recapture the success of the first film by repackaging it, which means at the end of the day I paid twice for the same movie. If you watch this one, watch it because you like the actors. Don't watch it because of the film it follows.

4.5/10

The March of the Penguins.

Loved it. It's amazing what these birds to to survive and continue the species; I can't think of a more miserable and rough existence. The chicks are one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Highly recommended for bird or animal lovers. 4/5

The Brothers Grimm
**/5

The story was pretty much standard Hollywood. Predictable. I did like the overall look of the movie though. I do recommend going to see it if for the sole reason that if its successfull then maybe it will be easier for Terry Gilliam to make movies like Brazil, Fear and Loathing, and 12 Monkeys...

The Longest Yard

7/10
One of the better Adam Sandler movies.

Harold and Kumar go to white castle.

Very Funny! :lol: Check it out.

The 40 Year Old Virgin

9/10

Up there but perhaps a little behind Wedding Crashers.

The Descent - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435625/

9/10

From the director of Dog Soldiers. Damn good survival horror with an all female cast. Many wince inducing deaths.

The Constant Gardener.

I was constantly bored. 2 hours into the movie it occurred to me that Everything I knew now I'd known in the first 15 minutes of the film. Which made watching it a completely meaningless waste of time. It's gotten great reviews, but I was not amused. Or even remotely entertained. The pace is so slow and well..it's just that...nothing happens. At all. For the entire length of the film.

2 out of 10. It deserves a little more than that but I just don't care.

The Transporter 2...
entertainment value: 3/5.
stunts: 4/5, dead sexy Brit in fabulous suit kicking ass: 10. no, 15. no... 30!

I have a Statham Fixation, sorry. :D

Exorcist 3.(1990) Meh.......Not very impressed. 6/10 :|

McCabe and Mrs. Miller

Ah Robert Altman...

After trying at least a dozen times to read the book, imagine my shock to learn that the movie adaptation is boring as well? :)


Timeline - Lord, it was horrible. It might have been at least tolerable, if not for Paul Walker. It's like they took Ted "Theodore" Logan and slapped him down in the middle of King Lear. If not for him (and that horrible french guy who played Francois), then this movie might have been, well, not the greatest, but at least mediocre.

They turned a mediocre Michael Crichton and made an embarassingly bad movie about it... I guess, in hindsight, that's just about right, isn't it?

Oh well - 3/10 for me. Paul Walker replaced with wood carving in non-speaking role - 6/10 He was really...really that bad.

Rebecca via the Criterion DVD.

Quite impressed with this one.

8.5/10

Pirates of the Caribbean

I have to say that I was suprised by Disney. Everyone told me that it was a good movie but I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Also I really liked Johnny Depp in it. The fx were nicely done as well.

My Rating 9/10.

Lone Wolf and Cub Four - Babycart in Peril

Violence and nudity...

Transporter 2.

I loved the first one. This one had AMAZING cars. But this movie was just WAY too far over the top to be even remotely believable. There were too many moments where I had to stop and laugh because it was so bad. Some incredible stunts though, but just WAY too unrealistic for me.

4/10 (2/10 if not for the kickass cars)

Madagascar - 4.5/10
Much too much dance numbers, much too thin plot. A lot more could have been made of it. Plus, way too many references to (obscure) grown-up movies and stuff.

I liked the penguins, I wanted more of them. The monkeys were funny too. "Of course we are going to fling poo at him!"

Ok, oldie but goodie, "Twins."

Awesome movie

"Tonight is your night bro!"

Twins is awesome?? I think I must have seen a different cut to you :D

I just watched Land Of The Dead.
Not sure what I think really. I thought it was good as a stand-alone zombie flick, but as part of the Romero zombie trilogy, it just didn't fit. It all seemed a bit too 'glossy'. And the zombies becoming smart? WTF is that all about?! Isn't that kind of the antithesis of 'zombie'.

7/10

sideways
 

Why !?!?!?

This was the one of the most overrated movies that I've seen in a while. The plot was a different take on 'group of guys go on last hurrah' storyline [in this case two, and instead of teenagers, they're middle-aged men].
At first, this story was believable and I was enjoying Miles' character. However, as the story went on, it became more of the two guys getting pootang [seemed a bit too extravangant - i.e. Spoiler: how does Stephanie and Maya even know each other, it was mentioned only brief, IIRC.
In the end, Jack didn't seem like he learned his lesson; and well, Miles does [I suppose] , but the backstory of his divorce came out of nowhere [a bit too much].


Maybe I'll appreciate this film when I become a middle-aged yuppie wino.....

4/10

Seems to me you are being awfully harsh on us middle-aged yuppie winos... :)

Sahara .. 6/10.. not bad, but not that good. Lots of action.

I agree. I was upset with the movie. The only reason I was upset was because, George Romero directed it. It didn't really fit the "Romero" style if you will. I'm going to see Romero at "Shock and Rock" festival. I want my "Dawn of the Dead"(1978) Special Edition autographed by him. I can't wait. That's the best zombie movie, ever! Land of the Dead was a bad Romero movie, but he is a genius!

Leon, seen it before but still gets a 9/10. Great actors, great story, great film.

Clerks 10/10

Seen it before and loved it. Just bought it on dvd. :thumbsup:

Reign of Fire

Harmless enough, rather silly plot and just quite a few cliche's wheeled out, poor standard of acting. but the dragons were pretty cool.

2/5

The Ring Two

7/10 the movie started to drag about half way through, but it was all around a decent movie.

IMO, Sahara sucked...saw it in the plane...
it was just your everyday action movie...and they probably had no intention to innovate, but it was so predicatble..
You have the tough guy, the funny guy, and the hot chick (who the tough guy has to save near the end...)
So yeah. id give it a 3.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose- I went to see it last night. It's more of a courtroom drama than a thriller. But I already knew that. I expect most in the theatre didn't though.
Anyways, I found it to be very interesting. The debate between science and faith has always been such a big issue, and the flow of the movie makes it all the more entertaining to watch. You even get a few chuckles out of the courtroom banter. :P
I give it 4/5; it might have been higher had I watched it alone. The theatre was very loud, and this guy beside me was humming through the entire movie.

all quiet on the western front
4/5
the movie there is very good....about a german guy fresh out of college along with his friends enlist in the army during ww1
the movie shows how they survive on the front lines, the anguish and brief relief from the daily dose of blood and shooting

The 40 Year Old Virgin

This has to be the funniest film I've seen since Anchorman, based on the Laugh-out-loud-ometer. Some scenes really had my drink snorting out my nose!
I'm gonna watch it again in it's 'non-pirate' form when it comes out on DVD. Maybe the better quality will make me laugh even more!

The Cave

The beginning was good with all the suspense and stuff, but then it went downhill. It was only worth watching once and that's all. Not even worth buying or even renting the DVD when it comes out. If anyone wants a movie to just watch because it's a free friday and you've seen all the other movies, just watch this one but don't expect too much from it nor expect to watch it again.

- zVp Reviews [ 6.5 out of 10 stars ]

Red Eye

7/10

quite an okay show, but won't give it an 8 :)

The book is SO much better...it is so detailed and complex, the movie just couldn't do it justice. (Wasn't too bad IMO) Clive Cussler is the man though!!

Anyway, I saw The Exorcism of Emily Rose yesterday. I hate scary movies, but this one wasn't too bad. Laura Linney did a pretty good job, and so did the guy who played the priest (I don't know his real name). I'd say 3/5.

Dark Water
