i dunno. seemed pretty marketed as a chick flick to me...

Trust me, it's even more of one than what you're thinking.

And by chickflick I mean pointless for the most part and full of silly rules and other completely unexplained dumb ****.

Watched Battle for LA, I thought I was watching propaganda for the Marines. Really crappy, cheesy film that was a complete letdown; that I couldn't make it through.

Most ironic line "Military command says they've never seen anything attack this way!" (then why not show us?)

Too much black hawk down, not nearly enough aliens, but I stopped watching after 72 minutes...

Hollywood needs to seriously up its game after District 9. Eff this movie right in the a...

Seriously, I think Skyline was better.

Pretty disappointing. Seth Rogan is really good as the alien, but the rest of the cast does very little. The writing was also way worse than I'd expect for a film like this. The story is just basically a chopped up version of every other alien movie you've seen.

Also saw the Adjustment Bureau.

I swear, the first 20-30 mins had me thinking this would be the best movie I've seen in a long time. Damon completely sells you on his character being a presidential candidate. But after those 20 mins, things go to ****. Basically they throw all these interesting questions at the audience and answer absolutely none of them. Very, very cliche movie which really had no story to tell after what you saw in the previews.

I have to agree with everything you said about Adjustment Bureau. It was a complete let down.

I saw that too. If you saw the trailer then just stop there and save your money.

That movie was a big loud waste of time.

Don't forget your hat. :lol:

just watched the Halloween remakes done by Rob Zombie. Actually pretty good. It was darker and more disturbing in a sense. The 2007 Halloween gets into Michael Myers childhood and what caused him becoming the future killer. The 2009 followup was a continuation of it.

Lincoln Lawyer - Worth checking out. I may be biased because I am a big Connelly fan and they kept fairly close to the book, but I enjoyed the movie.

THE OTHER GUYS, 1st 30 minutes was funny, after that they were searching for a story and the movie starts going down hill.

Watched for the 1st time in about 15 years. Still an awesome movie, I think.

Watched Tron: Legacy, and I really liked it. The soundtrack is freaking awesome!

Also watched Vexille, which was a pretty cool movie.

Went and saw "Your Highness." It was pretty juvenile, so don't go in expecting a lot if you see it, but I enjoyed it.

IP MAN 1 & 2. If you are a fan of good martial arts movies you have to see these two parts of a trilogy. The third hasnt come out yet. IP Man is the master who trained Bruce Lee and this is a loose story of his life. Donnie Yen is the lead role and he is probably the next great martial arts actor taking the torch from Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li. Absolutely great movies

I didn't think the 2nd one came out until April 19th? I also thought Yen said the 2nd would be his last.

Anyway, Yen is like 47 (actually turns 48 in July; he's only 3 months younger than Jet Li), so I doubt he's the "next" great martial arts actor. Tony Jaa would be far more likely (he's 35), but I doubt he'll be the "next" one here given that I don't think he's been in any US (Hollywood) movies so far.

i think ip man 2 came out in 2010, maybe even 2009, not sure. i read yen doesnt want to do ip man 3 because there is an explosion of ip man movies coming out now. still he has to be convinced. ip man 2 ended with bruce lee meeting ip man for the first time. everyone wants to see ip man 3 because it will be the bruce lee years. personally i prefer yen to jaa. love yen's style and hand speed

Yes it did in the east, but I mean stateside it comes out on the 19th.

And there's nothing wrong with preferring Yen over Jaa, I'm just contending that there's no way Yen will be the "next" martial arts action star given his age.

watched it on the internet with subtitles

I finally saw The Human Centipede.

I suppose that if you went into it as one of the first people to see it and didn't know it was a bad movie, you would come out blasting it. But going into it knowing it was bad kind of liberated me to see it for its merits...and it does have a couple.

The acting is laughable and the story fails when it goes for the cheap gross-out; the pus-squeezing scene comes to mind. But it is creepy throughout and scary most of the time, and even intentionally tongue-in-cheek funny a couple of times.

It's only in the end, specifically in the last 15 minutes or so that it completely loses its way and falls apart; almost as if one person directed the movie to that point, and then someone else finished it...someone far less talented.

It's almost as if they had a great idea and started shooting without an ending, and then couldn't think of a resolution that did justice to the rest of the film and had to finish shooting under constraints. Whatever, though...I still think it's worth watching if you're into horror flicks.

I just saw the remake of "I spit on your grave" It was not bad.

Saw Scream 4. Definitely impressed, and is obviously the best of any "4th" horror movie. Not as good as the original, and probably not as good as the 2nd, a little better than the 3rd and it has the most comedy of the bunch mainly from Gale and the spoofing of the Saw franchise and remakes. The beginning is amazing, definitely lives up to the other Scream openers. Also a bunch of references to the originals obviously, with some twists as well. I did think the end before the credits was kind of abrupt.

There were a few things in the trailer that were cut from the film and from some pictures that were not in it. I hate when they do that. Especially when it looks good. The weird thing is they are very noticeable, one was in every TV commercial. To not spoil anything on here, go here to see what was re-moved or reshot (spoilers are there): http://scream-trilogy.net/category/scream-4/

Watched The Town ....finally. Planned to see it several times but for a variety of reasons never saw it in the theater.

Loved it , the feel of the characters , their town , the slowness in the right scenes with the pacing in others was great imo. Terrific cast and fabulous direction from Ben Affleck. His two movies as a director leaves you with the feeling this is a talented director who will have a lot to offer in the future. Nice turn around from some of the scmaltz he was involved in as an actor.

Will watch this again this week , that is how much I enjoyed it .

jane eyre. i kinda saw this accidentally. long story. wanted to kill myself. anyone who likes this is either lying to themselves or think that liking it makes them sophisticated. i said this to the lady to told me to quiet down during the movie.

No, never.

Yes, I did.

Twice.

Only twice? There were three segments. I knew you were a freak but at least I thought you appreciated symmetry.

Megamind - It was pretty good. I liked a lot of the dialogue more than the story, not too say it was a bad story.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 - Boy I really should have watched the previous movie (if not all of them) more recently, because some stuff I just didn't remember (never read the books). It was pretty good too, but some of the stuff just seems silly. I mean the bad guys can capture or kill pretty much anyone they want to, except for one 17 year old kid who isn't even as good at spells or as ingenious as some of his classmates. Ehhhh.... Oh, and Ron an Hermione just need to do it and get it over with.

Prince of Persia - Entertaining popcorn movie. Considering the source material it should probably be considered a masterpiece, especially when you compare it to so many other crappy video game movies.

I watched 21 grams. I can't stand sean penn, but this is a good movie.
