samm Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yes, it felt that way, and it wouldn't have been necessary, could certainly have been done differently. I might watch the alternate ending to see if they did something different there, but I doubt it.

taks Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 watched you don't mess with the zohan for the 2nd time last night. i think i laughed harder this time. overall, another retarded movie, but silly enough to make you laugh hard in several places throughout the movie. rob schneider actually had a larger role in this one than most (he's usually just a cameo), and did rather well i thought. at least, his character was funny. taks comrade taks... just because.

Hurlshort Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Rob Schneider is a surprisingly easy guy to watch as a lead character. I thought Deuce Bigalow (the first one) was a comedy classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whipporwill Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The Ring Two. Not particularly scary or even tense, but it does work as a sort of love-triangle drama with extra deer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a turn off your brain before it shorts out from all the stupidity kind of way. Making John Turturro a villain was genius. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

taks Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 it was that stupid. i did like turturro's character, too. a little too much emphasis on the bang-bang, however. i think it could have been replaced with something else, though the bits with the one guy's mother were some of the funniest (chugging maalox, and similar gags). taks comrade taks... just because.

LadyCrimson Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Marley & Me. I liked it about as much as you can without actually loving it. That's a good thing, btw. I'd heard it wasn't a 'slapstick' comedy, like the ads might make you think, and it definitely wasn't. Much better than that. Some laughs, but also poignant moments about how life has twists and turns. More like the tone of When Harry Met Sally, maybe. “Things are as they are.

Rosbjerg Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Quarantine .. I liked it, but that's because I couldn't help but think of it as a prequel (or whatever you call it) to the game Left 4 Dead. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) It's a scene for scene remake of REC. I question the need to make exactly the same movie with American actors. It looks like they even shot it in the same apartment building. I'm really tired of the hand held gimmick, although I admit it works better for this kind of movie than in most other cases.

Gorgon Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Heh. Well I enjoy listening to other languages, getting a glimpse into another culture. Hollywood remakes are the smaller sin on the scale though. Dubbing is unforgivable. Unless it's a kung fu movie, then it's somehow agreeable.

The Fountain is the only one I can think right now.. It's not as much a Sci-fi as the two mentioned, but it touches on some of the same themes, ideas and moods. And the score is amazing, just like with Solaris. In the "sci-fi-lite" ball-yard we have; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Science of Sleep, and La cit Fortune favors the bald.

LadyCrimson Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Dubbing is unforgivable. Unless it's a kung fu movie, then it's somehow agreeable. Haha, and I agree. I saw dubbed Das Boat on VHS the first time, and I thought "nice sub scenes but what's the big deal about this movie?" Then I saw the subtitle version, and suddenly it's one of my all time fave films of all time. But hubby hates subtitles (he's a verrrry slow reader) so I don't see many films that have them. No movies seen yet this week. Maybe over the weekend. “Things are as they are.
