40Cent @ the movies

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

I saw Cabin in the Woods last night.  It had an amusing take on just why the Friday the 13th/Texas Chainsaw Massacre type slasher flicks always use the same cliches.  The betting board and the speaker phone bits were hilarious!

Damned Maintenance department. 

OK film, but probably better as a rental.

Saw The Avengers last night with friends. 

I won't try and give it a numerical rating, but I will say this much:  I'm going to see it again.  To compare, the last movie I watched multiple times (in the theater) was The Dark Knight.

^93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Damn.

Anyone going to see Dark Shadows or The Raven? Both have crappy numbers on RT but I can't help be drawn to them.

Dark Shadows tonight.

A friend saw it and said it sucks (no pun intended).

[Gusington]

^That's the word on the street, except at the NYTimes. Looking forward to your writeup!

Huge John Cusack fan.  Even bigger Poe fan.  You couldn't pay me enough money to go see The Raven.

Saw Dark Shadows and it was okay.  It wasn't life changing; it didn't suck.  The trailer represented the substance of the movie.  I kinda hoped that Alice Cooper would have had a bigger role, but he didn't.

It was what it was.  I must admit that I was greatly entertained by a dude sitting in front of me who was either really high or he was off his regular meds.  Either way, he REALLY enjoyed the show and it's humour.  Good for him.

27 out of 40

I'm hoping to see Dark Shadows in the next week or two.  I'm kind of a sucker for Tim Burton films (note I actually liked Alice in Wonderland).

Alice was actually pretty good...except for the last half hour, when the main character inexplicably transforms from lost girl trying to figure out what she's doing in to Xena : Warrior Princess.

[MIGMaster]

I like Xena in her BSG configuration  ;)

Ditto, very amusing film and concept. Thought Bradley Whitford had some great lines, reminded me of John Goodman in "Red State" who stole the movie with his deadpan jokes.

oh my god! I couldn't take this thread past someone saying they thought he new ghostrider was actually OK

shit that movied sucked major ass!  cage mailed his performance in from east podunk! east podunk, china that is!

for a good cage movie, whats the downer flick where he thinks he's a damn vampire ( hell maybe he is ) and starts wearing dark sunglasses and staying out of the light as much as possible

this aint a quiz I cant think of the name?

and city of angels is pretty good, he had lots of good support around him in that one...

what we got here is the three movies a year I'd actually pay real money to see and they'd better have star in the title like star wars star trek or star titties or somesuch

and then .9% that I will maybe on a good day and in a good mood spend the matinee price, then the other 99% that I will see at the 2 dollar theatre or netflixx!

girl with the dragon tattoo was pretty good but all my artsy fartsy friends had seen the origianls at like 10 bucks a pop at the aperture cinema here, ( translated as artsy fartsy beer wine and popcorn theatre! ) anyway my buds didnt even see the americanized version!

but I did netflixx the originals the day after the james bond one came out!

[ken ellis]

BTW has anyone seen TUCKER AND DALE vs EVIL?

now thats a damn funny movie

evil dead bloody though!

take a paper sack with you, NOT TO THROW UP, but just in case you hyperventilate!

[Gusington]

I loved Star Titties.

[Centurion40]

I preferred Star Whores.
