I Found Tihs Movie To Be Rather Pedestrian...

[Reply #520 on:]

Ghost Town
This was supposed to be a comedy but there were fewer laughs than expected (maybe it was the mostly empty theatre we were in), there were some excellent bits, but it was mainly drama and Ricky Gervais moaning about he doesn't like people.
Acting was solid, could have used more laughs.

Something of Boris

It was good, not as good as Casino Royale i think, but it had a good car chase and a good boat chase. Also a lot of less elegant le parkour stuff. I liked the actor who played the badie, he was cool. M is awesome also, to the max. And I'm glad Felix wasn't a douche.

few things:

Show spoiler

What was it that 007 threw the baddie at the end? Oil and bullets, do we assume he drank the oil? Or that he shot himself, or someone else did? Little bit confused.

had something else to ask but forgot.

fuck you botp.

Yeah, Bond left him the oil to drink as a last resort, like what happened to Secret Agent Punbabe. And the bit about finding him dead, I assumed it meant that the super secret mystery-solving conspiracy club caught up with him.

Faze I have seen it and loved Ricky Gervais. He is so funny. I think the bit with the huge dog was really funny.

He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword

This is a full length feature (Like the Futurama movies) and it about how  it all began when Prince Adam aka He-man went on a quest to find to person who holds power to a second sword. then he find out he has a twin sister Adora who become She-Ra. I find it really entertaining and always loved the scenes where they transform. I got this DVD because I use to love watch She-Ra and He-man as a kid. Great to see my fave shows again.

Saw Suantum of Qolace again. Very enjoyable. My friend thought so too.

Haha, I heard it sucked anyway, the guy from slashfilm said so, and rottentomatoes.

Twilight

C

Not much fault of the actors/screenwriters/director/producer, really. The story just stinks in my opinion. The movie is better than the book just because it doesn't take as long to get through. The only reason women like Twilight is because Edward is a gentlemen who truly loves Bella. The story doesn't do enough in the way of action/adventure/fantasy to appeal any further than that, with conflict coming only at the very end. Stephanie Meyer is a terrible author in my opinion. She sure knows how to draft the perfect fantasy man, but then again how many women wouldn't? She doesn't seem to understand male thought processes either. But this isn't the Book Review thread, so I digress...

As far as the movie goes, Bianca, you can't follow the romance quite like you can in the book because you don't know the characters' thoughts on screen. It seems to skip ahead very quickly, kind of like the Order of the Phoenix movie. To their credit though, they stick very closely to the book, adding in parts only necessary to facilitate the story on-screen due to the inherent shortcomings of book-to-film transition.

Twilight

You continue to baffle me, bear. Who ARE you?

[Reply #532 on:]

I was going to quote Ben from LOST and say "We're I'm the good guys"

But then i'd start liking bear more and we can't have that.

Ivan's Childhood.

Pretty neat.

8.5/10

Want. See. Stalker. Now. And in general more Tarkovsky.

Rescue Dawn
Thought it was really good. Seeing just how ridiculously skinny he gets throughout it, it's just... scary. Lots of little things, like the one little guard who is somewhat nice to them, the dog, eugene... cunt. As i said, really enjoyed it, but the ended seemed a little to over the top and a bit patriotic.

Show spoiler

Seriously, freeze frame and "Where are they now" credits... laaaame! Also, the crowd surfing thingy... tiny bit of overkill...

It really depends what your views are on twilight.
Me and some of my friends are really serious twilight fans, I guarantee in 2 weeks I'll be on this thread saying it was the best movie ever.
If you havent read the book, the reviews will be more 'real' in a way, critisising the movie for what it really is (dissing my own opinion, what has the world come to...)

Im just glad it didnt turn out like eragon, leaving out some of the most important parts of the book and changing it completely, now that was a shit movie.

Overall I dont know why I asked the question, taking all bets, what will I think of the movie
Also, I hate movie critics, and I dont know why I read the damn things, yes, lets all diss Bianca on her strange taste of movies...

My boyfriend and I had a conversation over the Twilight fad, considering neither of us have (nor do we intend to) read the books/see the movie.

We pretty much agreed with this answer:

Show spoiler

Edward is the dream man who represents everything a girl could want in a boy. However if you already have a real boyfriend, the appeal means diddly-squat.

And in my opinion, Angel and Buffy are a much more interesting couple. They never spawn creepy-ass vampire babies!

[Reply #538 on:]

You and your boyfriend sound annoying.

Sex Drive

Surprisingly not bad.

Pretty funny, well written and story that mostly made sense. Seth greens sarcasm was hilarious.

Scary story, the bit before the Amish party, i turned to my friend and said "Heh, i bet they'll have Fall Out Boy or something performing" Then i turned back to the screen... and there was Fall Out Boy... literally the second after i finished my sentence. I'm psychic ...

STOP TOUCHING YOURSELF BOOKS!

[Reply #548 on:]

Damn, I have to see high school musical 3 with my friend, she's one of those people that like the movies. I can guarantee that it will be scarier than any horror film ill be seeing next year, I have a twisted sense of humour.
It was nesscesary if I didnt want my rant to go over a page.

[Reply #549 on:]

You have to tell her to fuck off is what you have to do, let us know how it goes!

[Reply #550 on:]

I cant do that now, shes already hunting me down for the money (its for "charity", charity being paying to sent people overseas) and I have to see her the next two days after that (then hopefully I wont have to see any of my friends again till february).

[Reply #551 on:]

Give her the money and run.

Also, am I the only person left on earth who hasn't seen Dark Knight? It wasn't a conscious decision, but now I don't know if can can be bothered making the effort.

Most of the movie takes place in a shoe store.

No, you are not alone, I've not seen it either.

Most of the movie is about exotic and rare birds.

I haven't seen it, either... now you must choose whether to see it with Tweek or me. What'll it be?

[Reply #556 on:]

I haven't seen it. It was a conscious decision not to pay for it. This was because I did pay to see Batman Begins and while I did not hate it, I regretted driving to the theater and paying $7 to watch it with a mob of 100 morons. So this time I'm waiting for it to be <$3 in my living room.

I don't know so much about that...personally I hated Edward, and no not because he was a man.

Show spoiler

It was because as much as he seems perfect, he is over-protective of her, so much so it seems at times like he doesn't respect her judgements, nor does he respect what it is she wants. He refuses to turn her until it's absolutely needed, ie. she's dying, instead of respecting her choice to want to be turned. Just because he feels it's wrong, he completely blanks out her wish and request. Not only that, he put her through months of emotional agony because 'it was for the best', well excuse me, doesn't she have a mind of her own? If she wants to stay with him then he's a stubborn jackass and a jerk for disrespecting that. I just don't like that, man or woman, I wouldn't like him.

I do like the books though, I don't mind a lack of action in favour of emotions sometimes, and there's some action at least. Hopefully the movie will be worth skipping school for in December.

[Reply #559 on:]

It's not.
