Gorgon Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I never thought I would say this about a movie, but there is too much hyper violence for it's own sake. It's just bad taste. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Hurlshort Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 The Book of Eli (2010) - Surprised no one else here commented on this flick given the post-apocalyptic story. Good movie solid 8/10 I saw it this weekend and commented on it. Somehow I ended up putting it above Waterworld and below Postman in the post apoc. movie category. I did enjoy it though, I'd agree with 8/10.
Kelverin Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 The Book of Eli - Well, this was tough to review. As a film, it was pretty average. There were some good parts and bad parts. It was too slow in a few spots. The acting was very good and kept the pacing from being too unbearable. But as a post apocalyptic flick, it was very good. It had some Mad Max/Fallout parts that were just a delight and made it worth the price of admission. Plus I liked the overall plot, it was better than a generic purify the water and reconnect with daddy plot. Yeah, but was it better than Waterworld? It was better than Waterworld but not as good as the Postman. But it also wasn't like 4 hours long, so there ya go. That's somewhat positive. FOr whatever reason, it made me think of both The Postman and Waterworld when I saw the adverts. WHich is definitely not a good thing. Although, I only saw about the first 30 minutes of The Postman, so maybe it got better later. LOL I totally missed this conversation, WW and Postman are weak films and in no way measure up to The Book of Eli. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Walsingham Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 The Postman was extraordinarily bad. Of course fors ome time I thought The Postman was a remake of the classic Il Postino. Set in a post-apocalypse America. Which would actually have been awesome. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Volourn Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Wrong. Both The Postman & Waterworld are underrated. Awesome. The very defintion of epics. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Hiro Protagonist Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I'd like to see an uncut definitive version of Waterworld. The initial filmed script ran at over five hours. The original director's cut of the film was trimmed and submitted to the studio at a length of around three hours, however the theatrical cut was eventually released at 136 minutes. The ABC network did show a 177 minute Extended version but even this was heavily edited with language, violence, action and some nudity as it was being screened at a time when minors could see it. Maybe one day we'll see the full version.
Hiro Protagonist Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Just came across a TV show called Archer and finished watching the first episode. This is a classic. Funny as ****. Top stuff!

DVDs cost **** all to make and print. If they didn't we wouldn't have starship troopers 3. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

LadyCrimson Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Shall We Dance, the original Japanese version. How did I miss this little gem? Lovely chr. story w/humor and meaning. No flash, no Hollywood ending etc. and all the better for it. I have no desire to see the Richard Gere remake. Also watched Inglourious Basterds. Hubby didn't like it because of too many subtitles, but I enjoyed it. Not as much as Pulp Fiction (the dialogue in Pulp Ficiton was awesome), but it had moments. Brad Pitt got to have a lot of fun, anyway. I wouldn't consider Waterworld or The Postman in the worst movies ever camp, but they certainly weren't very good, imo. Exercises in Costner-ego or something. Altho, I must admit I got a kick out of Dennis Hopper hamming it up in Waterworld...heheh “Things are as they are.

Gfted1 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 All month The Incedible Hulk has been running on HBO and I love it. Dunno why but ever time I see it on the guide I watch it. Just one of those movies I can watch over and over, like Hellboy. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Hurlshort Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I really enjoyed the Postman, and I watch it quite often when I come across it. I don't know what it is, just seems very charming.
Kelverin Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I Love You, Man (2009) - Terrible "comedy" that was not the least bit funny. How it received a 7.4 is beyond me. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Hiro Protagonist Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 The Road. Quite a slow paced movie but liked the post-apocolaptic look. Also, I liked how Man found the can of coca cola in the vending machine, reminded me of Fallout 3. The realism was quite good. Cannibalism by people ala Fallout. Also, no food anywhere they went unlike Fallout where there is food and medical surplies strewn around the wasteland.

I say probably becasue I never saw it. However Starship Troopers the first is totally fab. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
Morgoth Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Pandorum. A flawed SciFi-Thriller, but overall pretty good. Especially the first 10 min were great. Rain makes everything better.

Hurlshort Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I watched about 40 minutes of Jackass 2. While it was funny, I can't really stomach a full movie of it, I'll have to watch it in segments.

Gorth Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 Not so much saw as 'going to see', picked up Inglorious Basterds in the Virgin store at the airport yesterday.
