It might just be him yeah, his pitch just sounds NOTICABLY different from everyone in the film, its a tad odd.
Also, should I assume that all the predator species eat like, lizards? They say all mammals evolved to sapience, didn't say anything about reptiles or fish. I hope in the eventual sequel that will be made due to its record breaking box office number that they explore the world more.
Decent enough ending to the series although the "big twist" was telegraphed from WAAAAAAAAAAY downtown. You could tell it was YA fiction, although so was Harry Potter and I thought that had a very good final movie (although I still have actions as to how they fucked over Neville's character.)

I'd never sat down and watched this. Couldn't for the life of me understand why it was so popular. Thought I'd see if I could find out tonight.
After shutting it off 25 minutes in, I'm still wondering. Too many flashbacks to when a friend tried to get me to watch both Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre. Both times, I turned to him and asked, "So, when does this movie get funny?"

Zoolander, to me, was always a "moments" movie. All in all I don't particularly like it, but there's a few spots in the flick that I still find hilarious and quotable.
I'd be down to see Nacho Libre, but its apparently based on a true story, and those movies always weird me out. Like how the guy from "How Stella Got her Groove Back" was gay and just married her for the green card. I know I'm quoting Cracked, still weird though.
I didn't care for Napoleon Dynamite either. It felt like a half-baked comedy trying to pass itself off as a stereotypical indie film. I mean, we get it. HE'S AWKWARD. That's, like, your one joke.

Yeah, the few "normal" people in the movie are mostly unnamed and usually only get one line, abarring the would-be student body president and her jock boyfriend.
Because the girlfriend had never seen it, we watched Sky High last night. While I wouldn't put it high on the list of best superhero movies, I still say it's a lot of fun. An assortment of hilarious and weird characters, a solid if cliche story, and a few fun surprises.
Though it's weird seeing Mary Elizabeth Winstead who went on to play Ramona in Scott Pilgrim, and Danielle Panabaker who now plays Caitlyn on The Flash.
Plus, Jim Rash. I just assume he's actually playing Dean Pelton before he became Dean of Greendale.
I just watched American Hero. It's like Hancock meets 8 Mile. The setting is depressing and you see the despair in the hero and he's trying to break out and do right by his kid using his super powers (that he squanders). And it builds and builds...then just stops. I mean, there is a scene where he uses his powers for good but it's so short that if you pee you'll miss it. And then it just ends. It could have been so much and it just never did anything. It disappointed mainly because you just knew at any moment he was going to blow and then...roll credits.
This movie was awful. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about it and they were lucky they got all the money for it up front via their crowdfunding. The jokes were crass, juvenile, and frequently nauseating. The cameos were egregious and really added nothing to the movie. All in all it was an unbelievably brainless excuse to jiggle various body parts (of both genders) at the camera and showcase destructive hedonism unseen since the fall of the Roman Empire.
I loved it. It was good and true ending to Blue Mountain State.
Yeah, I'm a little behind on this one. I think I may have ruined this movie by not seeing it early on, because the hype was high, and I was disappointed. It was a solid kid's movie, but that's all it really was. The premise was cute but done, and there wasn't much new about their implementation. It rather reminded me of ReBoot, only not as bold. The real world story was thin and didn't motivate the head story enough in my opinion. Some of the writing showed through the story, too. It was clear from his introduction what Bing Bong's ultimate purpose would be, for example. The best joke was spoiled in the trailer (the pre-teen boy's head when Riley talked to him). It was neat seeing the cast of Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me in the movie. It was definitely worth a watch, and the sad parts were sad, but I don't think it was quite up to the hype I'd heard.
Weeks ago, we watched the first Rebirth of Mothra. It was silly at times, but it never got boring and did have a lot of good scenes. Pacing makes or breaks a kaiju movie every time.
Tonight we watched Rebirth of Mothra II and what the fuck. That was atrocious. Most of the movie is following three kids and a furball into a hidden temple as they outrun two thieves, while occasionally the movie cuts back to Leo Mothra fighting a new pollution-eating monster from an ancient civilization, sort of a mash-up of Hedorah and Gyaos, with some Varan thrown into the design. A lot of the stuff with the kids drags, and Mothra's presence is really pointless until the end, where the story breaks its own rules. Out of the last 30 minutes of the movie, 20 of those have the movie cutting back to Mothra flailing atop the temple, in pain from acidic parasites that have latched into its flesh.
But then the movie goes from boring to insufferable (spoilers, if you care, which you shouldn't because DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE) when a hologram of an ancient princess tells the kids they need to get the furball to Mothra. Onto an extensive escape sequence from the crumbling inside of the temple (the outside is fine). When they finally get the furball to Mothra, he ascends into the heavens ... and EXPLODES. It was awful and hilarious. Then things got worse when Mothra turned into a wasp/flying fish to fight the other monster underwater, and then divides into a ton of tiny Mothras that fly down the other monster's throat to kill it from inside. Then Mothra drops it onto the temple, causing an explosion. Also, Mothra parts the sea so the kids and thieves can get away.
The crowning moment in all this shit is when the main girl is sad that Gorgo, the furball, is gone now, at which point Mothra's fairy girls say: "Don't be sad. Look up at Mothra's shoulder."
So the girl looks up, and you'll never guess what she sees:
Nothing. "Imagine Gorgo is sitting right there." So he's dead, but imagine he isn't ... hey, that's a lot nicer!
My wife and I were dying of laughter then. Most of this is not "so bad it's funny" it's just bad and dull, but those couple of parts were hilarious. Stuff the movie thought was hilarious but wasn't came in the form of weird blue screen slapstick, a cat getting hit by a lit cigarette, and two piss jokes.
As usual, the movie ends with the forced environmental message, except delivered by 10-year-olds in a way that 10-year-olds tend not to act. Then mercifully the credits rolled.
I'm really nervous about watching Rebirth of Mothra III at this point, because this was awful. The only good thing is that the rain of furball's blood seemed to improve the coloring on Mothra Leo's wings.
10 Cloverfield Lane was good. I got the ending spoiled for me (stupid international marketing team), but it was still a nicely tense and well-acted movie. Still don't know if it has anything to do with Cloverfield though.
It doesn't necessarily, any ties to the first movie are really just nods to the people who were following along with the ARG. They're going to use the name "Cloverfield" just to tie movies together like an anthology going forward
SPY: I laughed out loud throughout this film. I don't like McCarthy's movies in general, but this was hilarious.
The Natural: I have not seen this in years. But it has to be the corniest, cheeeziest movie about a man that runs away from a bastard child for 16 years.
Trainwreck: Just a solid movie all around. It has all the feels, that I was not expecting. Lebron James was much funnier than I expected, he has an excellent dead pan delivery. This ranks high on the list of movies not to watch with Mom.
Spy was totally funny. And a good example of what McCarthy would be able to do if she would stop playing the same dumb character over and over again. There were hints of that dumb character in Spy, too, but there were also moments of much better.
It's not about what he's been in, it's that he directed Tammy, what people have told me is McCarthy's worst movie, and now he directed The Boss, another bad McCarthy movie.
