You should try seeing it sober (or at least less drunk). Its funny.

I love everything about this post.
That wasn't an indictment on the movie! I would have fallen asleep if the theater was showing ... I'm blanking on a constantly loud movie
Bad Teacher
Good lord, this is a horrible, reprehensible, unfunny movie. No one is likeable, especially the main character. The only reason I finished it was to see it through to the end, thinking maybe things might turn around, but nope. The protagonist in the movie wasn't even a bad person and she was punished horribly while the Cameron Diaz' character won everything in the end.
Ugh. Why did anyone think this was good? I thought I'd heard nothing but praise for it when it came out, but it's only 44% on Rotten Tomatoes, so now I have no idea.

Still don't understand.

It would have to be, I believe it was her first movie. She gets a "and introducing" credit in it.

They didn't need interesting. They needed tits to rescue.
Well I can't argue with that.

I'm hardly a patriarchy-smashing supersistah supporter, but The Mask, for all its fun and laughs, has to be admitted that it's a 90 minute adolescent male power fantasy. Put on this mask, and you can do anything you want, be whatever you want to be, tits whatever you want to tits.
Cameron Diaz was pretty good in Something About Mary, I'll admit, but pretty much nothing else left any kind of memory.
I liked her in Being John Malkovich.
I uh, actually kind of liked Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.
wait, stop where are you going
and to answer your question, I'm not THAT drunk

Besides completely getting rid of the dark tone of The Mask when they made the film, I think they really lost something when they took away the series' main villain. The Mask itself.
Even after villains like the mob, Walter, the Mask hunters show up, The Mask is still one of the most frightening tools of revenge, and every single person who has worn it has abused it. Even Emily Tuttle, the little mute girl, went to her school Halloween Party and burned the place to the ground just to get back at the kids who teased her. She didn't kill any of them, but she was certainly more than capable.
The Mask is kind of like the Hulk in that regard. You can't control it. Just point it in the direction of the bad guys and hope for the best.

It's at the top of my "gotta see that crap" list, above the Dwayne Johnson Hercules movie that's coming out this summer.
Thor: The Dark World
So much better than the first Thor. The stakes seemed higher, the climax was actually, you know, climactic, I could actually tell what was happening in the fight scenes, and I think the shift in tone to include even more humour was a smart one that will allow the audiences to ease in to Guardians of the Galaxy a little better. Well done.

Watched 2 movies last night, Escape Plan and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.
Escape Plan was your typical Stallone/Shwarzenegger movie. One-liners, explosions, guns and blood. Fun stuff.
Cloudy 2 was pretty funny, though I can't remember much of the first so to compare them would be hard right now.

Is it really fun? Worth a watch? I tried to watch "The Last Stand" with Schwarzenegger and it was just awful.
Really? I didn't think it was that bad. Not by any means great or even good, but I thought it was decent.
I liked Last Stand, but I'd say Escape Plan is a more traditional vehicle for him. Less on building a character, more on action.
Cool. I'll look into it then. I WANT to like what these guys are doing.
@ThatNickGuy: I don't know, I honestly didn't give it enough of a chance probably, I just watched it for a bit and was so over Arnolds wooden performance I couldn't hold out for the action. Plus, and this is a Amazon Video problem probably, it was one of those movies where the dialogue was SUPER quiet and the action SUPER loud. So I was annoyed by that too.
I liked Last Stand more than I thought I would, too.
The Lego Movie
How is this as good as it is? It shouldn't be this good. I dont remember what the last movie was that received this much hype where I watched it and it actually exceeded my expectations.

So what you're saying is...everything is awesome?
Monsters University: WOW that did not exceed my expectations. I mean it could just be a lot better. The first 25 minutes I would like to say set things up, but the real plot begins after this and you could start here. Basically not something I'm ashamed to have seen, but not something I'd buy the DVD for.
