LadyCrimson Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Devil (that elevator movie). Not what I was expecting and I kinda liked it. Not saying it was great but it was entertaining and I liked the fact it wasn't about gore. Plus it made me LOL several times. Also, Logan Marshall-Green as "Tony" was pretty cute, which always helps movies like this, imo. Edited February 17, 2011 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

mkreku Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Watched The Fighter. Good movie, but I was disappointed that it ended before his signature fight series. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what exactly is too M.Night, but if you're talking about lame twist endings....no, not really, nothing like that. It's pretty straight-forward concept w/no more than the typical "who dun it/who is it" than any other suspense or light horror type film. I'm not sure if the LOL's I had were supposed to be there, tho...I just tend to giggle a lot re: the over-dramatic reactions that are in most such films. Half the fun...

Volourn Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Who dun it? Isn't the 'killer' the devil? Not much of a mystery if the movie title gives it away.. L0L P.S. I watched video game based movie Game Over. It plainly sucks. Easily the worse game baeed movie over. Super Mario Bros is Oscar material comapred to thatd reck. I cna't believe some of the semi big celebrities (even Mike Ditka for NFL fans!) that agreed to be part of this crap even if it was just cameos... It was one of the very few movies that ia ctually finished (over multiple viewing mind you) that I'd give a big fat ZERO out of 10. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Walsingham Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Obviously, it was the elevator itself that's the devil. Clearly it was just so the devil could do that line about "I want you to get inside my three times a day, and take me to heaven and back." "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.

Tale Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I bought Memento on Blu-Ray for 10 or 15 dollars. Great movie. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Dune. Overall....yeah ok, it's pretty bad, flows terribly and the weirding modules. It's better than the Sci-Fi (or is it SyFy now) miniseries from 2000. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well they both suck, but the 84 version has Patrick Stewart. So that gives it a marginal victory.

Malcador Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well that's fine. You like it, I don't like it as much. I had heard a rumour they were making another movie about it. With the dude from Twilight as Paul. Then I found out it was a joke and was happy. Why has elegance found so little following?

Ted 'MFing' Cruz Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The last two movies I went to go see were Scott Pilgrim, one of the greatest movies of a long time, and Tron:Legacy, one of the biggest let downs of all time. Yeah, I don't go see very many, ans still usually end up disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 The Killers - I'm always happy to watch Tom Selleck, and Ashton Kutcher paired with Katherine Heigl worked decently. The plot itself was silly and got to the point where it bothered me. I guess it was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well they both suck, but the 84 version has Patrick Stewart. So that gives it a marginal victory. And Sting in plastic green undies! .... I bet he'd give a lot to take that job acceptance back... I liked the sci-fi mini-series better in terms of comparing it to the book (not that it's saying all that much) but the movie version had Stewart, Sting, Jurgen Prochnow (I think he made a great Duke), Brad Dourif , Richard Jordan and all these other people I love in tiny roles so...it wins. “Things are as they are.

Maedhros Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Watched some of the Oscar-nominees, namely True Grit, 127 Hours and Black Swan. Three good movies by some of the best directors in the buisness. Black Swan especially was great - everything worked for me. Possibly Aronofsky's best movie yet. All three of 'em have great endings with some fantastic music accompagning it, strongly recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Cyrus - This was a movie about a guy who is dating Marissa Tomei, but her 22 year old son gets in the way. I really expected it to be a bit of a slapstick comedy, but it was not in any way. It was very different. I think it was ok as a bit of an awkward love story.

Oerwinde Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I love the Sci-Fi miniseries version. :'( It was awesome except for the guy who played the lead. He sucked pretty hard. It was like they tried finding the person with the least charisma they could find. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

LadyCrimson Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 All-Star Superman. Color me unimpressed. I was unimpressed with just the preview they keep showing in the on-demand list screen. I watched a 2004 movie called A Home at the End of the World. Kinda slow/quiet but I liked it a fair bit. It's a strange yet touching film chronicling many years of two best friends and eventually a sort of love triangle/non-traditional family unit. “Things are as they are.
