The Comebacks is hilarious!

[pirate4state]

Hot Rod - recommended by BBDE - had some great LOL moments, but didn't hold my attention the entire 88 minutes

Driving Lessons - cute - if you liked Harold & Maude you'll like this movie :)

[Buccaneer]

If you like Hot Rod you might enjoy "The Brothers Solomon".

[Astrosdawg07]

Mr. Woodcock was funny as well...

[Buccaneer]

"Gone Baby Gone" was excellent!

[DU_stud04]

My key to enjoying movies is always forget about the hype, i tend to stay away from trailers and from people talking about new coming movies, i dont like things getting spoiled for me. appreciate the movie for what it is, dont make it to be something you wanted it. another thing, watch the movie and quit trying to guess the end, it always turns out bad for you when you do.

here's some i would share, not all of them are new releases.

namesake- An interesting movie, i really enjoyed this one. based from the book, the struggles between two first generation Indian immigrant and their kids(the beginning of the movie) It is ultimately a story of American-born Gogol, the son of Indian immigrants, wanting to fit in among his fellow New Yorkers, despite his family's unwillingness to let go of their traditional ways.

little miss sunshine- laughed throughout the movie, i thank the person who recommended it to me

grandma's boy- another hilarious movie, its a happy madison production..... you should know what to expect.

Idiocracy- i personally loved this movie, alot of people i watched it with thought i was dumb. there is alot of little stuff you should pick up if your paying attention tot he movie. makes you think, this could really happen to us.

Employee of the Month- dane cook and jessica simpson. i laughed.

Man of the Year- good movie, always enjoyed a robin williams movie.

300- greatness. i dont need to explain this movie to anyone, who doesnt know about it?

Night at the Museum- thought it was hilarious

Letters from Iwo Jima- different story of one we all know already. i enjoyed it

Transformers- one of the few movies i was able to watch over and over again and love it every time.

Flyboys- just watched this one last week, i liked it alot. WWI, aviation is becoming the big intervention in war. movie follows a few people who lived this life and at the end it gives you a followup of what the ended up doing.


Mr. brooks was pretty crazy, i liked it alot. Its about a business man who just received man of the year award..... but he has a psychological problem, an alter ego who is a serial killer. interested yet?

El Mariachi.... old movie, the begining of the trilogy (desperado, once upon a time in mexico). i liked it, the movie was funny, some parts that make it funny is the extremely cheap budget they were on(the film costs 7,000 to make, only did each shot once, no redos.) oh yea, its only in spanish( i didnt know how to turn subtitles on)

Goal! The dream begins- great movie. i loved it, and cant wait till they finally release the second one here in the states. (been out in europe for a few months already :( great sports movie, defiantly watch this one

rush hour 3- your typical rush hour movie, enjoyable, funny, jackie chan fight scenes, i dont really have to explain this one.

i now pronounce you chuck and larry- adam sandler movie, i thought it was hilarious. put a different perspective on the whole gay theme. i dont know why someone wouldnt like this movie, but it did get alot of bad critiques and bad views from social groups.

daddy's little girls- a drama/comedy about a mechanic who enlists the help of successful, but lonely attorney while trying to wrest custody of his three daughters from his treacherous ex-wife and her drug dealer boyfriend. along the way, the working relationship between blue-collar worker and his uptown attorney grows into something more. this is a simple, touching story of two people trying to overcome their different backgrounds to find love, a down on his luck man struggling to protect his children from abuse and neglect, and a community looking to purge itself from the criminals terrorizing their neighborhood. good movie overall, different than most of tyler perrys movies.

Inside man- brilliant movie, directed by spike lee. this is a story about a perfect robbery.

The departed- This film takes place in Boston, Massachusetts, where notorious Irish Mob boss Francis "Frank" Costello (Nicholson) plants his protégé Colin Sullivan (Damon) as an informant within the Massachusetts State Police. Simultaneously, the police assign undercover cop William Costigan, Jr. (DiCaprio) to infiltrate Costello's crew. When both sides of the law realize the situation, each man attempts to discover the other's true identity before being found out. Even though it is a tad bit long, i enjoyed every minute of it. great watch

shaolin soccer- hong kong comedy, i thought the movie was hilarious, its about a former shaolin monk who reunites his five fellow disciples, years after their master's death, to apply their superhuman martial art skills to play soccer and bring Shaolin kung ** to the masses. its been out for a while, dont thin kmany people have seen it. watch it,

desperado- one of my all time favorite movies. sequal to el mariachi, after being shot in his left hand, now a useless mariachi, he seeks revenge on the people who killed the woman he loved. still dressed as a mariachi, open his guitar case and dont be shocked to find there are guns galore underneed the guitar cover. lots of action, explosions and salma hayek is in it. my favorite gun scene is definatly the first one where cheech is the bartender. if you havent seen it yet, go rent it.

the ringer- totally different than i thought it was going to be, i liked what they did with this one, check it out.

crossroads- if i was talking about the brittney sprears movie, i would have already hung myself. This movie is Ralph Macchio(the karate kid) is an inspiring bluesman who plays the guitar and goes to Juilliard. he meets willy brown, a blueman legend, who in his early lifetime sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads. this movie is about making it back to mississippi to the crossroads and seeing if a old man can get his soul back. an awesome guitar faceoff between the karate kid and steve vai, the devils guitar player, also makes this movie great, if you dont rent the movie, then atleast watch the video of the battle on youtube. i enjoyed this old flick.

if i think of any more ill add them later.

[pirate4state]

The Brave One - acting was 1st rate, didn't care for the nice "clean up" ending - overall 3 out of 5 stars

Mr. Bean's Holiday

Really good movie. Very funny, nice scenes of France. If you are a Mr. Bean fan you will especially like it. If you aren't, you'll still like it. Rated G also so it's good for all ages to watch.

[Nursebetty]

Some good ones I like:

*The Ringer
*Walk The Line
*Mr. Bean's Holiday
*Lonesome Dove
*The Apostle

[piratebg]

Well, I finally saw Grindhouse: Death Prook and really enjoyed it. I haven't seen Planet Terror yet. I also checked out an old 80s slasher film called Sleepaway Camp. That was interesting to say the least.

[Buccaneer]

Vantage Point is worth the rent. It has its flaws but is interesting enough to hold your attention. Spiderwick was enjoyable.

I loved the Spiderwick Chronicles!!

The Onion Movie started off as a laugh fest for me, then I fell asleep. Probably not a good thing! haha

Borat: Gary (BBDE) finally wore me down and it was on cable, so I watched. I was not disappointed. I hadn't laughed that hard at a movie in a long time! :D

Charlie Bartlett - Pump up the Volume for this generation. Robert Downey, Jr. was Robert Downey, Jr. :)

Definitely, maybe - chick flick - I enjoyed it.

:nerd:

[Stats]

I had never heard of this movie, but my daughter brought it home for me to watch and I thought it was great.
"Lonely Hearts" starring John Travolta, James Gandolfini, and Salma Hayak.
Great mystery thriller about detectives trying to solve a series of murders in the 1940's. Really well done and riveting.

[lion75]

No Country for Old Men was kinda cool

[espn1]

Jumper is action packed.http://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll410/jmg1_2008/HEARNE.gif

Caught this on cable this morning. It was pretty funny. I thought the ending was pretty stupid! :doh:

I agree that it is adult only! :eek: :eek: :D

[Buccaneer]

This week i have seen : The Bank Job, Shutter, Meet Bill, Step Up 2 and Penelope. I would recommend Penelope, the Bank Job is ok, if you like Jason Statham you will like it. Shutter was decent. Meet Bill was a mess even with a cast of Aaron Eckhart, Timothy Olyphant, Elizabeth Banks, and Jessica Alba.

[buff4ever]

finally rented bucket list, great movie. Not like best of all time or anything, but good to watch. Great actors.

Next week I start back up full time so that will cut into my movie watching time. :cool:

[Buccaneer]

If you like The Ring and The Grudge you will enjoy Shutter. I didn't care for Stop-Loss(too much propaganda). However I thoroughly enjoyed Drillbit. Watching 2 Tickets to Paradise now.

:( I hated The Ring and I never bothered with The Grudge.

[piratebg]

I rented The Ruins and Rambo last night. The Ruins was pretty entertaining even though it started off kind of slow. I'll probably watch Rambo tomorrow.

[eagles_victory]

About to watch Harold and Kumar Guantanomo sp? Bay, Eastern Promises, and There Will Be Blood its going to be a long Friday with the storm coming in and most of my favorite teams games canceled or played last night.

[piratebg]

Righteous Kill - For a De Niro/Pacino movie, this was a real let down.

Quarantine - Creepy movie and good if you are not that susceptible to motion sickness.

Zach and Miri Make A Porno - Freakin hilarious. This is a must see for Kevin Smith fans.

[Farmersfan]

Zach & Miri was awesome!

I've watched a bunch of movies over the weekend. I'll have to give a report later. :nerd: :D

[Farmersfan]

This week I have watched:

Nick & Norahs infintine playlist(I think)= OK movie. Nothing special.
Against the Dark(Steven Segal's newest movie)= Don't waste your time. Segal has like 3 speaking parts(a good thing) and the movie is very poorly done. I kept asking myself through the entire show why anyone would walk around in a zombie world without weapons yet all the characters did.. Drove me nuts!
Nights in Rodanthe = Pretty good movie. But I have a romantic crush on Diane Lane and a man crush on Gere. Sorry! Can't help it.

[SintonFan]

We watched "August Rush" last night on the big screen...
I have to admit I almost cried at the end. Awesome Movie! :2thumbsup
.
"Get Smart" was ok... I fell asleep 15 minutes before it ended but my impression was good.

[Diocletian]

"Big Fish" and "Brick"

Both solid movies, and rented them last week for $1 each at Blockbuster.

I understand they took a cue from Cloverfield and had the single point of view aspect. One camera following the characters around. I like that idea except for the fact they normally use camera movement or darkness to create atmosphere or suspence. Just looks like a cheap way to entertain. But everyone I talked to said Quarantine was still a good movie...

[Lion_Addict]

"WANTED" was kinda kewl. Angelina Jolie's hind parts :2thumbsup :D

[PPSTATEBOUND]

Wife and I will have a BBB night with "Step Brothers"......should be a barrel of laughs.:smoker:

It wasn't a movie rental, but I took my kids to go see Bolt this weekend. It was a cute, family film. I'll probably get the DVD when it comes out.

[Farmersfan]

I watched Wanted this weekend and was very disapointed. (not with the "hind parts" but with the overall movie. The action was really good but the story sucked royally. A little more suckage and it could have been a Schwarzenegger film.
Have any of you watched The Heartbreak Kid? I laughed until I cried at some of this movie. Check it out!

[pirate4state]

Eagle Eye - lots of action. It's Enemy of the State meets Minority Report, meets I- robot all rolled into one! {NOTE: If you are paranoid - don't watch this movie!}

The House Bunny - LOL - I was distracted the entire movie by what Anna Farris had done to her lips. This is one of those cheesy, guilty pleasure type movies I like to watch. Absolutely silly, but who cares!

The Secret Life of Bees - excellent movie - Dakota Fanning is awesome in this movie!

My Best Friend's Girl - funny in parts, Dane Cook should stick to stand up!

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist - I liked it, even though the main guy character is so painful to watch.

Swing Vote - good flick :thumbsup:

Bottle Shock - I really liked this movie. I'm not sure why though haha

The Family that Preys - Kathy Bates & Alfre Woodard?? What's not to love! :clap:

Sexdrive - HILARIOUS - go rent it, NOW!

I didn't watch those all at one time. LOL. Just over the last 2 months or so.

I currently have:
Gospel Hill, Body of Lies, Tropic Thunder, How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer & Righteous Kill

[DU_stud04]

recent new movies i liked. sex drive, taken, the rocker, zack and miri, eagle eye, step brothers... think the only one i havent seen talked about on here is the rocker.

Hey Phil, watching A Bridge Too Far.

Really is a great movie considering when it was made. Today all the computer generated stuff makes it easy. These battle scenes are aawesome. I took a grad class for the fun of it in Problems in Military History, needless to say, Operation Market Garden was discussed.

[pirate4state]

Gospel Hill - I was easily distracted. Never a good sign! The only thing that held my interest was Riggins from FNL was in it and looking especially GOOD! :inlove: haha

[piratebg]

Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor


Glad I only sent $1 to watch it. What a waste. :dispntd:

Meet Bill - I hadn't laughed that loudly at a movie in a loooong time. Like I had to pause the movie and get up and go pee before I had an accident! HAHA

Vicky Christina Barcelona - ahhhhhhh...i enjoyed it, but hated the ending! Sooooooooo frustrating!

[bullfrog_alumni_02]

i like most everyone on this site. with that said, i will present the death of movie renting forever.

http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/

you can watch tv shows, movies, anything; there are no downloads or memberships to anything. it streams the media over the internet, therefore, not illegal. its been up for well over 2 years that i can personally confirm, if not longer. if this were illegal, it would have been shut down LONG AGO like the others.

[SintonFan]

The best movie I have seen latety is:
Fireproof
This movie is soothing to the soul of any marriage, young or old.:nerd:

[Diocletian]

Fireproof was a lame movie, in my opinion.


I recently rented Mystic River from blockbuster for $1 and could not believe how great of a movie it was.

[SintonFan]

We saw "Yes Man" last night.
It was funny.:)

I also saw Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and that was a fun movie if you are a fan of the series.

Taken was pretty good.

Results from more recent fare:
Gran Torino: 3 stars, ok maybe 3.5
The Forbidden Kingdom: 2.5 stars kinda funny but how did that kid learn so quick
Transporter 3: ehh 1 star sucked
Quarantine: 2.5 stars NOT formulaic at all, some decent moments and then the "twist" when you learn if this is plausible

Taken was awesome. Rise of the Lycans was pretty cool too.

Tropic Thunder - was very funny
Hancock - was surprisingly good
He's just not that into you - great cast, funny & warm

[SintonFan]

We saw "Haunting in Connecticut" last night.
Those around me liked it more than I did. I'll give it 2.5 stars for a couple of jumpy moments and decent story line. I wasn't scared at all but some of those who watched it too mentioned they were fairly thrilled. They gave the movie higher marks.

I'm waiting for the Harold Raimus horror movie to come out.:)

I made the huge mistake of watching Devil's Tomb last night with Cuba Gooding Jr..

It just really sucked. Borderline campy B-movie with pretty good actor (Gary Oldman). If you have netflix use it, otherwise save your money unless your curious.

Yet if you're A Raimi fan, you'll love it, I'm just not into those type movies, if you like The Evil Dead genre (cult classic) you'll probably like it.

The Wackness - just that...a wacky movie

WARNING: SPOILER


I watched Push and Knowing both on the same night and I though Knowing was much, much better than Push. Push didn't really have much of a plot or story line. Just a bunch of people running around killing each other.
One Question about Push though : Do you think the female star(Camilla Belle) was actually a agent from the beginning and the male star (Colin Ford) had his memory adjusted to remember a history with her or was she adjusted there at the end to be made to believe she was a agent since the beginning when in reality she was what Ford remembered????? The only interesting twist.

Caught 'Eagle Eye' and 'Syriana' this weekend.

Eagle Eye - Fair at best. I thought the storyline & 'twist' was stupid, but I liked watching the movie play out, if that makes sense.


Syriana - Interesting to say the least. So many storylines made it confusing, but it was well-acted and I definitely didn't feel like I wasted my time watching it.

I watched Lucky You with Eric Bana, Robert Duvall & Drew Barrymore on HBO yesterday.

Usually I don't like watching a movie if it has already started, but I doubt missing the first 10 minutes of this movie would have made it any better.

I love August Rush. I watch it every time it comes on HBO. :)

I caught 88 Minutes the other day. I really liked it even though I figured it out. Al Pacino is getting really old. :(

Also, finally saw Righteous Kill...bummer...I had been looking forward to it and it didn't blow me away.

:doh: I was too tired to make through almost three hours of "Watchmen". The beginning looked good.:D

We watched "Outlander" last night. I don't remember hearing about this movie at all but it was very good. One of the best I have seen this year. The description on the box "Beowulf meets Predator" was fairly good but doesn't do the movie justice imho.
I'll rate it 3 to 3.5 out of 4 stars. :cool:

"Outlander" is a great example of a movie you never hear about that is much better than the box office tally indicates.

I'll look out for Horsemen.

[waterboy]

I saw "Knowing" Saturday........decent movie, but not all that special. It was weird, and could've had a better ending, IMO.

Also saw "Taken".........a very good movie. Liam Neeson has "a unique set of skills", and he wasn't lying when he said, "I will find you and I will kill you.":eek: :clap: :D

I rented fanboys on a whim, pleasantly surprised by the decent (its not amazing, but good) storyline and the ability to recognize most ofthe actors in it (Brunette Kristen Bell....purrrrrrrrrr). Definitely worth 4 bucks to rent.

Anyone seen State of Play? I'm thinking about watching it tonight.

I'm looking after my 9 year old cousin this week and we are watching Karate Kid tonight! He's so funny. He read the back of the cover and said, "let me guess...he wins at the end?" HAHA

I saw the movie Fighting and want my money back. What a waste of a movie. I also got Last House on the Left but haven't seen it just yet. I opted to watch the Children of the Corn remake on SyFy and that was also a waste.

[pirate4state]

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People --- Simon Pegg so it's suppose to be funny, right? WRONG! The only thing funny about this movie is the title! :doh: :(

[pirate4state]

Adventureland - the lead character was very awkward, thus made me feel awkward and I don't like feeling awkward. It had some funny moments. I loved the soundtrack and if you are a fan of the 80s, you might want to check it out.

New in Town - very cookie cutter predictablitity, but it had Harry Connick, Jr. :inlove: and I love, love watching films that feature the Minnesota accents. Yah

The Cake Eaters - I've been wanting to watch this forever. I love Mary Stuart Masterson and she directed this film and it's just beautiful in a very simple, yet complex way. :nerd: :)

[SintonFan]

Just saw" Land of the Lost".:eek:
It is definitely for the kiddos...
NOT!
Some funny parts but maybe that's because I remember the hoaky original series and could compare the two.

Only the scenes that were shot in the IMAX format should do that. The aspect ratio will change during those scenes. The Dark Knight Blu Ray is the same way.

They're only 'mini-movies', but I've been watching ESPN's 30for30 series. And so far, it has been amazing. Haven't watched the one for the USFL yet, but will sometime this weekend.

I highly recommend these if you're an all sports junkie, and appreciate a lot of backstory and possibly some eras that happened before your time. So far, they've gotten Peter Berg and Barry Levinson to direct these, so it's not some indie project.

Just watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen...
3 out of 4 Stars.
This movie was all over the place.
It did live up to the PG-13 label or more. Not for the youngsters.

Just finished watching "Paranormal Activity"
2 out of 4 stars
The movie was trying too hard to ramp up the psychological first perspective from the beginning to the end imo.
Lot's of folks will enjoy the view from the first perspective.
This movie was ok, I'd enjoy it better if I had seen it with my wife and have her jumping to a couple of good moments.:)

Seriously give us a rating.:D
It looks interesting.
I use the Netflix rating...I give it a 4 out of 5. It was imaginative. Good to see scifi still alive and not just being redone.

Few folks didn't get those feelings from that movie.
I watched it at home, by myself at night, for kicks and grins.

[pirate4state]

I watched the 3rd Ice Age yesterday while I was laid up sick yesterday. It didn't really keep my interest and I only laughed once towards the end.

Bummer.

[piratebg]

I saw GI Joe last night and it was ok, I guess. I also saw the The Proposal with the misses and that wasn't bad either.

[piratebg]

Terminator Salvation was pretty darn good.

I was also forced to watch My Sisters Keeper. That was ok.

My Sister's Keeper was AWFUL....I cried & cried haha

[piratebg]

Ghosts of Girlfriends pass was pretty funny.

[SintonFan]

Saw Avatar recently:
3.5 out of 4 stars.
Awesome visuals and a great version of "Dances with Aliens".;)

[pirate4state]

500 Days of Summer - not your typical boy meets girl romance. I really enjoyed this movie. :)

Inglourious Basterds - Tarantino is one of my favorites, so I loved it. Only thing that sucked were the sub-titles.

I thought it was sad in a sweet kind of way.....I didn't expect that twist!!!

[JJWalker]

Not a rental yet.

But, I went and saw "Up in the Air". Enjoyed it very much.

[BaseballUmp]

saw Up in the Air and It's complicated recently with the gal, both were pretty good

[piratebg]

Inglorious Bastards - Not a bad movie but you have to be a Tarantino fan to truely enjoy it.

Paranormal Activity - A fun low budget horror movie.

District 9 - I really enjoyed this one.

G-Force - My kids loved this one. It was ok.

[pirate4state]

THE Final Destination....i love these movies even if the acting is terrible and it's a formula movie haha

District 9 - sometime this week

[TheDOCTORdre]

I watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, pretty good if you have children or a child like mind

I have both.:D My 9-year-old daughter laughed a lot at this movie. My 12-year-old laughed some, too. They both enjoyed it.......which made me enjoy it, too.:clap:

[BreckTxLonghorn]

Just go two dvds in the mail this week.


Hangover Unrated - with 100 more photos. Cannot wait to watch this tonight!


The Departed - one of my favorite movies of all time, and I found the 2 disc collectors edition for $8 on Amazon. This will be one of those that I'll watch the movie and special features for like 3 day. May have to set aside a weekend for it.

I just didn't see 100 additional NEW pictures? :(

HELLS yes. It's almost sad how excited I am to see them. I thought the first 100 were pretty raunchy....

I agree, but after watching it again and looking at the special features, I just didn't notice that many NEW pictures. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place?! :(

I did and I only saw a few that were new, certainly not 100!

You must just not be observant when watching; the box clearly states there will be 100 new pictures, and dammit, there's going to be 100!

[piratebg]

Gamer with Gerard Butler was a pretty cool flick.

Did you go to the bonus features?

It's just 100 new angles of the same situations really

[bobcat4life]

The movie "Casino" with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. It was really good

[bobcat4life]

I am watching "Death Sentance" with Kevin Bacon. Very good movie

[piratebg]

I finally saw Avatar last night. Great movie. Awesome effects. Tons of action.

[bobcat4life]

Joe Dirt...saw it for the first time in 2 or 3 years and it was great

[Emerson1]

Watched "The Hurt Locker"

pretty good. looks amazing on blu ray

[NateDawg39]

I rented "Im Not There". It is the story of the lives of Bob Dylan.

Richard Gere, Cate Blanchett, Ben Whishaw, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and narrations done by Kris Kristofferson.

Ruminations on the life of Bob Dylan, where six characters embody a different aspect of the musician's life and work. It was an excellent movie!

[SintonFan]

Watched Pandorum the other night.
I'll rate it a 2(stars). Pretty confusing if you think about it. Event Horizon was much much better.:cool:

[piratebg]

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs was a fun movie. My kids loved it.

I finally saw A Haunting in Connecticut and it sucked pretty bad.

[BreckTxLonghorn]

Saw the Watchmen this weekend. Usually I'm in to these types of movies, but the whole time I just thought, 'meh.'

Dunno, seemed to drag on too long.

[DDBooger]

Gamer sucked
Final Destination 4000 or whatever sucked
Pandorum was pretty cool

I watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs recently with slpybear's spawn. They loved it, and so did I! Lots of grown-up humor (though not adult) to appreciate there.

[SintonFan]

GI Joe...
wasn't impressed at all.
2 out of 4 to be nice.
