Movie Reviews thread =D

[Turbo D]

THis thread is for movie reviewing. Here you dudes can tell of good and bad experiences. I guess I'll start.


So I bought the Doom movie at walmart last night for $7.50. THis movie sux; don't buy it. It has nothing to do with any of the games in the series, especially doom3; which is supposed to be based on. Ya, I want my $7.50 back, lol. Anyways they twisted around the story so bad that it just seems like some lame movie. Oh well.

I saw Doom in the theatre and I think I am one of the 2 people in the world that actually liked it. It's tough making a movie out of a video game because there are all sorts of expectations of what it should be like, and everyone's got their own ideas.

I didn't regret paying the 8 bucks or whatever to see it on the bigscreen, and it entertained me for the hour and a half I was there. I'll probably buy the DVD some day. Yeah, it's no Oscar winner, but it's "fun."

House Guest (1995, starring Sinbad and Phil Hartman) - A cheesy mid-90's comedy flick where the vibrant and goofy Sinbad pretends to be someone else in order to stay with Phil Hartman's rich, yet psychologically disfunctional, family to avoid getting killed by the mafia because of a money scandle. Lots of funny ghetto moments and a bizarre fascination with cheese burgers.

I have the DOOM movie and I could give a rat's ass whether or not it follows any of the existing DOOM storylines. The movie is bloody and violent, with lots of neat weapons and a really cute female co-lead. What's not to like?

[Turbo D]

I enjoyed all the violence and sexy ladies

Army Of Darkness sucks. The end.

I like the Evil Dead series. Even the first two movies have a kind of cheesy humor about them, but Army of Darkness is just over the top. I mean, they went way too far. It's like a self-parody. I still like the movie to a certain extent, but I enjoy the first two to a much greater degree.

The Day After Tomorrow

It is an awful movie! I was hoping everyone would die quickly so the movie would just end. But nooooooo.....

First off am I the only one who has a hard time telling the difference between Toby McGuire and Jake Gyllenhaal?  They both suck.

Spoilers:
First of all, the CGI in this movie was unwiped-ass quality. They definitely farmed a lot of the effects work out to the lowest bidder. The people who did the tornadoes (probably an effects house in India) have obviously never seen a tornado before. The fact is that The Wizard of Oz has a more realistic looking tornado BY FAR, and that movie is older than the projection equipment generally used at film festivals (ie: older than the planet Earth). The tornadoes here seem fatter at the bottom, have little or no debris clouds, and move exceedingly slow. My guess is that German director Ronald Emmerich told the people in India "We need you to make computer tornadoes for us! Tornadoes are basically funnels of wind or something. Achtung!"

Then there are the wolves who just happen to be wandering around a frozen New York City. How they survived the massive tidal wave that went through the city is beyond me.  Obviously they enter a huge Russian tanker which has somehow floated down the narrow streets of NYC to chase Spider Man and his amazing super-friends. What the group doesn't realize is that these wolves can't actually hurt them because they are incredibly fake-looking CGI. Maybe they are running away because they hate bad graphics? That must be it. Why don't the wolves freeze? They've obviously been outside for a very long time. Also where did the huge tanker go at the end of the movie? It's not by the library. It's just gone!  And as you look at the wide shot above the library at the end, you see that there was no way the tanker could have ever have gotten there in the first place.  That makes me gaseous.

Then there are the sappy side stories which amount to nothing at all. I don't care if Toby McGuire/Jake Gyllenhaal has feelings for the smart chick. She's actually not very smart at all.  She knows enough to heat Toby/Jake/Spider-Man up when he comes out of the water, but she's too much of a dip shit to do anything about a giant gash on her leg.  She is a stupid whore and she deserves to die.  And while I think the 30-something asian lady in the movie is indeed desirable material, the way the young guy looked back at her as he was leaving and the way she looked at him almost made me puke up pizza bits. And what is up with the homeless guy's dog? SHUT UP ALREADY! Ronald Emmerich loves having barking dogs in his movies, and they never die like they should. The scene in Independence Day where the dog narrowly escaped the explosion made me go diarrhea on my seat. Also, am I supposed to feel sad when the old guy cuts his own rope and falls down to save the other two a$$holes? My reaction was "Good riddance! You should have died 10 years ago you old fart!"  I would have killed myself too if I were in this crappy movie. Oh! And the 3 idiots in England drinking 12 year old scotch worrying about the loo was just retarded. Am I supposed to care about them? Their contribution to the story is about as essential as picking the lint out of my belly-button before I shoot myself for having to watch this P.O.S. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!! There are so many side stories in this movie that you may think that some of them are commercials in a TV show. Spider Man's mom is caring for this dippy kid in a hospital bed. We are supposed to be worried and/or concerned for the kid who needs transport to some place. For some reason he can only be moved with an ambulance even though the only thing hooked up to the little bastard is an oxygen tank which could be carried by hand. Sela Ward should be frozen and thawed out when they find a cure for lousy acting.
End Spoilers

Sucks.

  apparently if you put the doom movie in your xbox, you can play a demo of doom3. THats pretty cool, I never heard of such a cool feature!!!  Too bad I don't have an xbox  Good news though, I have doom3 on pc

They Live.  A pretty good late 80s B sci-fi movie starring Rowdy Roddy Piper.  That alone will raise some interest with some folks.

Anywayy, it came recommended to me by my dad of all people.  It's basically about roddy stumbling across a pair of shades that allows him to all these subliminal messages everywhere (such as consume, buy, marry and reproduce, do not question authority, etc), not to mention alien creatures that are all over earth. 

After seeing it, I can see why my dad recommended it -- he's a socialist at heart (him and I have our differences in thought ), and this movie basically criticizes capitalism, after all.

But even without the political messages that the director John Carpenter intended, it's good as a B sci-fi movie gets.  As a lot of you grew up in the 80s, I recommend it.

That makes me gaseous.

Were you able to pass it in time?

[GUTS]

Bullit- Awesome.  Movies now suck shit compared to the 40s through the 70s.

[m1savage]

I watch a lot of movies but, like my taste in music, I'm sure few will enjoy what I do. Still I'll list some that I've seen recently that I enjoyed for one reason or another.

Angel-A - I like most Luc Besson films (Leon: The Professional, The Fifth Element, etc.) so I figured I'd like this too. I did.

Paprika - nightmare of my dreams. great visuals

Inland Empire - David Lynch. Enter at your own risk.

Tekkonkinkreet - cool.

Ok, not exactly reviews, but I liked 'em.

Army Of Darkness sucks. The end.
