Movie Thread

Wow the gay hacker's delight really did set the site back quite a bit... it's been 2 weeks since I posted my midnight screening (short) review of Inception.

The Crazies (2010 remake) - 6.5/10

I never did see the original, so I don't know how this compares to it. I'm sure a modern version of this sort of movie would be much different from one filmed almost 40 years ago.

I was expecting it to be a little bit better from some of the reviews I've heard. There were a couple of "WTF, why the hell would you do that" moments that pissed me off... The ending wasn't good.

I did jump a few times and there were several creepy moments. I'm not sure you could do too much more with a movie like this.

I'd say it's worth watching once.

 

Well I am TDY for work so I went and saw a few movies this weekend. First

Inception - Good movie, great to watch, but damn if it was hard to pick it all up. Then end had the whole audience on threads and needles waiting to see what the TOP did. I am going to have to watch it one more time...8.5/10

Dinner for Schmucks - Hilarious. Not as funny as the Hang over, but had some scences that I died laughing at. 8/10

 

I wanted to see Dinner for Schmucks when I saw the cast (Rudd, Carell, Galifinakis).

... Then I saw the previews.

 

It's better than the previews would indicate. It's not a great movie though, but there are certain parts that are hilarious. It can be excruciating at times, because Carrell is just so frustratingly idiotic. Galifinakis and Rudd (two of the funnier guys working today) are criminally underused, Rudd just basically stands around because he isn't allowed to really do much except be exasperated. The dinner itself is really funny though.

Agreed, we were sitting there wondering if there was going to be a dinner for a few. I thought the crazy ex was hilarious too.

 

Major League

One of my old time favourite comedies.

 

I don't know about how much better it is.. I was genuinely excited to see it and came away less than satisfied. Carrell kind of got of my nerves to be honest. Rudd didn't really do much in the entire movie. It was way too stretched out, like an hour+ of buildup to the dinner that lasted ~10-15mins and then it was over. Galifinakis was great though, when he started laughing uncontrollably and turning red I was cracking up, probably best part of the whole movie.

 

Black Dynamite
All kinds of awesome. Just see it.
