I audited a film class where I saw JAWS for the first time. I was never interested in the film before, but I was quite pleasantly surprised. It was a good flick. Underscores my truism that the best way to enjoy something is to go in with low expectations.

I saw The Hangover a couple of days ago and I have to say that it was one of the funniest movies that I've seen in a long, long time.

 

I'd agree to that, the scenes right after they woke up had me in tears. I could barely breathe I was laughing so hard. It was the best comedy I've seen in awhile.

 

I watched Righteous Kill last night. Very predictable. It was watchable because Deniro and Pacino are just great, but the story was mediocre.

Started watching the TV show, The Mentalist. Have all the episodes and halfway through Season 1 at the moment. It's a bit like a modern day Sherlock Holmes seeking out his enemy Red John (Moriarty/Jack the Ripper type) and solving cases along the way.

 

Tim Kang, the guy who plays Cho, is hilarious on the show. It's like his character should be on Dragnet instead.

well, bedtime stories is a goner (no longer on PPV), and the uninvited has been relegated to only a few regular def channels with one exception: an 11:30 p.m. showing on a high-def channel. i considered recording it, but fell asleep instead.

L

is that Let the Right One In?

 

coz i've heard nothing but good things about it and i'm curious

Yes, it is.

 

Sorry if me being a pretentious twit, obfuscated the identity of the movie.

 

 

Ocks

Slumdog Millionaire

 

Thought it would be revolutionary by the way everyone made it sound. Definitely an interesting and original movie but I still don't think it deserved all the monumental praise.

 

8/10

I couldn't even finish it, but I had me a really good nap instead.

The remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth w/Brendan Fraser. Did not watch in 3D.

 

Cute in spots but mostly meh. The background props/paintings/sets seemed subpar too, reminding me of 60's/70's. Maybe that was intentional. Or they blew all their budget on the big dino scene.

Freida Pinto was enough to keep me up

That movie was interesting to watch in 2D on cable; I caught a snippet of it a while back. The budget was apparently 60 million, but it often looked cheaper than a Sci-Fi Original movie. Parts of it, like the grapes flying into everyone's faces at the end, were obviously intended to startle in 3D but just seemed pointless in 3D.

Pineapple Express - I think I'm too far removed from smoking weed, it wasn't all that entertaining.

Regardless, Oskar was a tremendously annoying child actor and I had a hard time feeling any sympathy for him.

I cannot imagine why that could be, both parts of it. Otoh, to each his own.

Or it was just a weak film, which it was

I agree. I just wonder why everyone else I know loved it.

I thought the kids did pretty well, but they are still kids, never put kids in a lead role.

I thought PE was terribly overrated. One of those movies where the trailer has most of the funny parts in it. I thought James Franco was pretty entertaining trying to channel Spicoli.

The best part of the movie was in the diner at the end.

Drag Me To Hell.

 

Despite some constantly chuckling idiots in the cinema, I liked the movie. There was not much suspense, but shock moments from the get-go. The end was predictable, but so drawn out it made me chew fingernails. Also, it clearly had some budget behind it, but totally is a B-movie, lots of clich

You go to see a comedy and complain when people laugh... Strange. VERY strange.

Knights of Bloodsteel.

 

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

 

2/10 for moviemaking, but 10/10 for entertainment purposes!

I don't care if they laugh as soon as something funny happens, I'd even understand if they laugh in reconition of something that was already in the Evil Dead series (the car), but it was like 'oh, a fly, hahaha', 'oh, a bank manager, hahaha', 'oh, the man is wearing a hat, hahaha'.

The Uninvited Not scary at all but at least I didnt see the end coming.

 

Role Models Pretty good and several spots had me laughing out loud.
