I feel like I need to post this here too, since you might not read the other thread.
2012 was amazing. I'm not kidding or being sarcastic in the least. It was INSANELY fun, and a well-made movie. It's not the best-written or best-acted, though, granted. But I liked it a great deal. The three hours flew by, and it had a lot less of the stupid shit in his earlier movies (ID4, DAT, Godzilla)

Saw Boondock Saints: All Saints Day last Saturday. I honestly didn't like the direction the movie took, especially near the end of the movie. The entire plot seemed very forced to me. It was an okay movie but I didn't think it was worth the $10 I have to fork over to see a movie.
Ignorance is no longer an excuse for a movie titled "boondock saints", you knew exactly what you were getting into.

Oh I was well aware that the movie was going to suck out loud Charlie. It was a Sequel to an exceptionally overrated movie released 10 years ago. I was the only one in my group of friends who was in favor of seeing a different movie. Hell, I was going to buy a ticket to 2012 instead but then decided against it after hearing how long it was.
You should have seen 2012, it ruled
Just watched Key Largo.
loved every Black & White Second of it.

Ice Age 3: okay sort of winds up 20th century fox's Ice Age movies. Scrat is still the funniest character on that show.
Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas: forgot how interesting of an animated film was.
The Road to El Dorado: is stil meh
Lost in Space: Not bad still kind of a strange movie.
Evan Almighty: Not as great as Bruce Almighty but still is funny.
Pineapple Express: decent comedy film but a bit drawn out like Tropic Thunder
Madagascar 1 and 2: Actually prefer 2 over 1 in my book. Wish the Penguins had more screen time.
Burn After Reading: A strange yet subtle comedy film. Doesn't recommend a second see through though.
Time Machine by Dreamworks: Actually enjoyed this rendition of H.G. Well's Time Machine and yes I did read the book. They took a few certain liberties but otherwise stayed close to the source material.
Titan A.E.: nice to have this on DVD finally. Remember this seeing this a kid in highschool and thought it was a fun movie. Was suprised Matt Damon was in the film along with several others.

STAR TREK: Fook yah!!
GIJOE: Resolute: Meh. I think this is one of the first films I fell asleep to in a long ass time.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space: This movie is cheesy fun. I give it a "Shego should watch it" award. It's dumb and the acting is horrible, but the freaky looking klowns and their antics are the whole point of watching anyway.
Pride and Predjudice (2005): What an odd movie marathon. First Killer Klowns followed by Pride and Prejudice. My girlfriend and I thought it would be worth it to be the first people ever to watch those films back to back.
As for the movie, I thought it was alright. It's a lot of dullness. Knightley is of course amazingly hot no matter how frumpy she's made to look. Donald Sutherland, again, plays the coolest character in the movie. And then there was some other people not worth mentioning really. I found the plot of the movie to be very confusing at times, mostly because I'm just not familiar with how things were done in that age. I turned to my girlfriend and asked "Okay. So they were upset their daughter ran off with the soldier, but they just payed him to marry her and now everything is perfect?". She explained the reasoning to me, and I get it, but it still seems silly.

FC Venus (2005)
A Finnish film about a group of women, all wives and girlfriends of the players of an amateur soccer team in Helsinki, who get sick and tired of their significant others' overwhelming enthusiasm with soccer, to the point where the guys had organized to go to the soccer world championship games and leaving the women behind. Pissed off, the women suggest a wager: they will train for a single summer, and by the end of the season they'll meet the men in a soccer match. If the women win, the men can no longer obsess about football. If the men win, the women can no longer complain about football and will pay the men's trip to the games.
Like my best friend said, the premise sounds like "feminist propaganda", but the truth is far from it. Being a romantic comedy at heart, both the women and the men get their share of flak and comedic moments. This comedy is accentuated by music from top-of-the-line bands of the year, as well as romantic drama involving the main character's relationship with her estranged father and her soccer-maniac husband. The result? A movie that's fun to watch, with nice drama, great music and fun moments that stand to be watched again. Even if you do have the family jewels.

Yeah, I kind of wish I had just watched the opening sequence before the blood splatter title then just walked out. I probably would have been much more satisfied.
Just got done watching Big Man Japan... umm... WTF was with that ending? I know it's supposed to be a comedy and a parody of the Kaiju genre, but come on! You left all those plot threads dangling... it was kind of stupid.

Just came back from seeing "Pandorum". Pretty good movie and well worth watching if you liked "Event Horizon".
Spent the weekend breaking in my new blu-ray player.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: Kirstie Alley was already starting to pudge up by the middle of the movie.
Batman Begins: Finally catching up with this one. My apologies.
Star Trek: Multiple nerdgasms.
Quantum of Solace: Has there ever been a more meh Bond film?

Man, people forget how bad some of the earlier ones are. I did a weekly movie club thing that went through all the James Bond movies, and fuuuck. Thunderball, Moonraker, and Die Another Day were horrible.

In Bruges. Laughed my frickin' ass off, then I went serious. Then I laughed again.
Not to derail this thread, but Roger Moore is the worst Bond. True story.

Quantum of Solace was okay. I think its biggest problems were being the second half of Casino Royale rather than a stand-alone flick and not really giving Bond enough personality. I loved the first couple of action sequences.
Saw Ninja Assassin. Eh. Pretty much what I was expecting, but it left me pretty hollow. I didn't care for the pseudo supernatural element. It kind of makes me wonder if a Ninja movie can even be done well anymore. Or has the whole idea of ninja become such a joke that no one could take a movie about them seriously? Is Batman Begins going to be the closest we get?
Afterward I went home and watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and felt much better.

I have never been able to force myself to sit through Moonraker in it's entirety. Die Another Day is definitely crap, but Thunderball is on my must have list.
And I didn't think Quantum of Solace was really bad, but meh. Very meh. and in a way, that's worse.

[/QUOTE]Alright, yeah, Quantum and Thunderball are unforgivably boring. At least the others are hilarious trainwrecks.
Saw Old Dogs.
Realized everything remotely funny was in the trailers.
Wondered why Seth Green needed the money that bad.

That's what I figured. When watching the trailer I realized that Seth Green was responsible for the only funny segments. And since it's not his movie what would be the point? Plus I've just seen nothing but bad reviews.
Bond Films: If Die another Day was that one with Halle Berry then I'll agree it's one of the worst ones I've seen in recent times. They were even trying to give Berry's character a spin off series. I think Q deserved his own series more than she did.
Quantum wasn't really much of a bond film. I loved the Casino Royale reboot of the series... but Quantum was too much of a revenge movie and not enough of bond being a spy.
If there is an absolutely worst bond film ever though, I'm putting my vote for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".
Watched this last week, just didn't like the filming of it. The story was okay, but the choices of some of the shots just kept taking me out of the movie. Multiple times characters had that flare of light from behind them that just blotted out the scene for me. Also didn't like the way the space battles were shown, just too hard to follow what was really happening.

I was on a 'mission' for a while to see every Bond movie ever made, on account of I hadn't seen any before. Wanted to beat my brains out after about a dozen (mostly after Roger Moore ones ... Dalton rocked the fucking hizzouse and Connery was good in the ones that didn't suck with him in it). I still haven't seen them all.
Fav Bond lines:
"Balls, Q?"
and
"Why, Pussy! Where did you learn Judo?"
Stars, I saw that one ... I've seen better acting in Saturday morning cartoons.Shawnacy said:

I'll give Moore one REALLY good Bond Film. To Live and Let Die. I was really impressed with I finally caught it on the big screen. At a Bond Film Festival that I hosted, lost a lot of money on that too.
I could never understand the hate of Timothy Dalton's first Bond movie "Living Daylights." It was SO much better than most of the Moore crap. "License to Kill" was probably the worst Bond Film. But Dalton himself was a good choice for Bond.

In Bruges
I was underwhelmed by this movie after hearing so many good things about it. It was well-filmed and well-scored in a technical sense, but the plot was a little weak. First, I couldn't help but be offended by the anti-American sentiments expressed several times in the movie. Second, though the movie attempted a Seinfeldian plot tie-up, it telegraphed the coming tie-ups miles before they happened. In fact the only thing I called wrong was that I thought the alcoves in the park were going to come back into it in the end, what with the way they kept going on about them. Plus, it was a little difficult to feel for Ray, since he was a violent killer.
