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!

Agreed! Really, really funny send up of the 'slasher flick in the remote woods' type of movie. If you liked Cabin in the Woods, you really do need to see this.

I just watched Hall Pass and it really has some WTF moments. I wish The Wife was here to watch it with me.

I love that movie because of 3 scenes.

^I am hoping one of them is NOT the hot tub scene.

Did anyone see Battleship? Any good?

Gusington · May 20, 2012, 08:06:16 PM

There is no way that Battleship will be good. We can be certain of this.

40 the weird thing about Hall Pass is that is appears to be this happy-go-lucky comedy at first glance and then out of nowhere there are some totally f'd up scenes. For that I give it points.

Just watched The Mothman Prophecies. Another f'd up movie...better than I thought it would be.

Never mind good...is it any fun?

The Mrs. and I just got back from seeing The Dictator. There was some crude humor here, but nothing close to the Borat bench-mark.

For example, The Dictator finds out that his wife is pregnant, so he asks her "What are you going to have, a boy or an abortion?"

Yep, I can't even recommend this one as a rental.

18 out of 40

Borat was Sacha Cohen's high point, IMHO. If The Wife heard that line she would punch me in the nuts and I would send the medical bill to Cohen.

cohen was great in the bit part in sweeny todd!

and speaking of depp, dark shadows is more than mildly entertaining, but hit girl, really good for 90% of the movie almost screws it up at the end

I watched The Grey, Red Tails, and Chronicle on my week off.

The Grey started out pretty strong but nose dived face first into stupid in the third act. Plus it was filmed just outside of where I work so it was a bit hard to suspend the disbelief when they're telling my it's supposed to be Alaska and I know it's just off a hiking trail in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve.

Red Tails was embarassingily bad. Not as retarded as say, Flyboys or Pearl Harbour, but still full of cliches and good ol' cheddar. Obligatory tacked on romantic subplot to get the wimmins to watch? Check. One dimensional evil, sneering German adversary? Check. Obligatory scene of black pilots feeling the brunt of racism? Check. Scene of redemtion where the racists grudginly show their respect? Check. Lots of really poor acting throughout. The leads seemed lilke they were just going through the motions. The bomber crews were almost as wooden as the Navy SEALS in Act of Valour, and the German ace looked like he was going to fracture his jaw, he was sneering so hard. CGI effects were a mixed bag. The planes looked nice, but a little too clean, but the way they flew looked more like the attack on the second Death Star than WWII.

Chronicle wasn't too bad at all. 3 high school kids (2 cool guys and one nerd) stumble upon some magical McGuffin that gives them superpowers. Being regular teens, they don't really do much with it other than screw around to amuse themselves and mess with people at the mall. The nerd, being a victim of bullying all his life, lets his powers go to his head and starts towards the dark side. Enjoyable enough to watch but nothing really great about it.

Up next, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

I thought The Grey was good...it scared The Wife out of the room within the first ten minutes (always a good sign) and I've never been to Alaska or Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve. Plus Liam Neeson could do two hours of lip farts and it would still be better than 85% of the stuff out there.
