Your typical Antoine Fuqua action flick.

My Best Friend's Girl 4/10 — Some funny one liners but Dane Cook is not that funny of a comedian in my opinion.

Zack & Miri Make A Porno 7/10 — Found this to be decently amusing.

Appaloosa 7/10 — Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson (sp?) as two law men in a town in New Mexico. Entertaining enough, there are better westerns but this had a nice ending.

PorkSoda 03-10-2009 02:54 PM

What is (sp?) stand for?

Mr. Beans Holiday - 4/10.

Actually wasnt bad. Pretty good for a film that didn't use alot of dialogue in the English language.

One part I thought was ROFL was with the bike with a motor. :D

Bridge on the River Kwai - 9.5/10

I thought it was awesome. I probably should give it a 10, especially considering everything has held up over the last 50 years (pretty easy because of the setting and there really aren't any special effects to become dated). I think I could have used about ten minutes trimmed.

Gonzo 03-11-2009 08:45 PM

Titan A.E. 5/10 — Meh, watched this because nothing else on demand caught my eye. I finished it, which I guess says something.

The Strangers - 8/10

What a mind fuck.

PorkSoda 03-12-2009 11:12 AM

Watchmen 8/10.

Nothing really wrong with it except that its kind of confusing. And also for the fact that i found Dr. Manhatten really annoying. Just because hes a big blue guy and that he was naked throughout.

thedamndest 03-12-2009 03:05 PM

The Last Boy Scout - 6.5/10

It's a "good" bad buddy detective movie. 6.5 is probably a little on the generous side if you are a "more serious" type of film person (which I am not). It isn't a bad movie, it just isn't a great movie, but you expect that when you see "Starring Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans." Made me laugh at a lot of the one liners.

IC Champion 03-12-2009 03:19 PM

Full Metal Jacket - 8.4/10

What a great fucking movie, I should have watched it sooner. Opening scene was amazingly hilarious.

Rather than get NASA or somebody involved in WTF is going on with the mailbox they just accept the fact that they have a mailbox that sends messages two years apart. And do they do anything useful, like warn the public about Hurricane Katrina in 2005 or win the lottery over and over and over? Nope, they just sit around and write letters and fall in love because they are a bunch of faggots. I watched the movie because I turned on a justintv stream and a random movie was JUST starting and I thought, how likely is that to happen? And it was the fucking Lake House.

2001: A Space Odyssey - 8.5/10

Stanley Kubrick, you are indeed the fucking man. Last two films I've seen have been Kubricks, and they were both amazing.

DrA 03-15-2009 09:06 AM

Amazing enough for a full 8.2 huh

thedamndest 03-15-2009 01:20 PM

Superbad - 6.5 - It was alright. Sometimes it felt funny and even heartfelt, sometimes it felt like a bad SNL skit. Sometimes there was just too much Jonah Hill.

Knocked Up - 7 - See comments about Superbad, but replace Jonah Hill with Seth Rogen.

That's because the last 20 minutes are spent ruining the greatness of the film.

Titanic had a better ending.

I have heard people say this. What didn't you like about it?

PorkSoda 03-20-2009 04:43 PM

The whole movie was great. Just a great cat-and-mouse type manhunt until one scene where....uh....you don't know wtf happens and then....uh....thats it. It just leaves me a big blank.

I know you were talking to him though :cool:

thedamndest 03-20-2009 04:50 PM

It's open to whomever would like to comment on it, positive or negative. The ending has garnered mixed reactions, so sure. Not gonna make a new thread though, just gonna bogart this one.

It just didn't fit the film and was so anti-climactic.

IC Champion 03-20-2009 07:34 PM

I enjoyed the movie, the end was just a tad disappointing.

thedamndest 03-21-2009 03:51 AM

In fairness to the movie, it is based on a book. It is my understanding that the movie is pretty faithful to the book, so any complaint with how anticlimactic the ending is may be the fault of the book.

I don't really mind the end. When you say the last 20 minutes, are you talking about every single part of it, or what? There was only one part that I didn't really get at first, which was
SPOILER: show
why James Brolin was just dead all of the sudden. I read something online about how we are supposed to see the whole thing from Tommy Lee Jones' point of view, because in a way this is his story, so getting there too late fits that. I'm still not even convinced that's correct, but I think it's close because in a way Tommy Lee Jones is the most important character.

IC Champion 03-21-2009 04:04 AM

The Sting - 8.4/10

When I say the last twenty minutes I mean (hightlight to read) wnen Josh Broslin dies. He dies all of a sudden and then the movie just.....I don't know what happens. We just see him perfectly fine and then in the next scene we see a bad image of him dead on the floor. Then the movie starts talking about I have no idea what. Its a bunch of mumbo jumbo that didn't make alot fo sense to me. Thats why I didnt like it. Couldnt follow it.

But anyway....

American Buffalo 2/10.

Great acting and dialogue, but it was just flat out boring. Got to admit that.

Instant Classic would have rated it 8.2.

LOL, More like a 7.

And are you questioning my rating system?

Destor 03-24-2009 01:01 AM

decimals are weak on a 1-10 system. you can't possibly work that out. even .5's are weak on 1-10. .5's on 1-5 are ok though.

7/10

Pretty funny movie. I cracked up through the whole thing. Debated on giving it an 8, but it wasn't the best comedy I've ever seen, and comedies tend to rank lower than other movies I see anyways so a 7 is still high on that scale.

Pretty rofl. I like Paul Rudd, and Elizabeth Banks is nice to look at too.

thedamndest 03-25-2009 01:38 PM

Quantum of Solace - 7/10 - I liked it better than Casino, and I think between the two films Craig is a better Bond than Brosnan. It's unfair to say that though, because he's had two great movies to make and Brosnan just had Goldeneye and then a string of ridiculous ones. One question I will ask: is Bond ever going to get some gadgets, or are we going to have to watch a shaky "realistic" foot chase in ever film?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - 5/10 -
SPOILER: show
Visually it was impressive. Storywise it was good up until about the first hour or so. Then the gimmick wears off and it just becomes a love story (and personally, I don't really even think Benjamin and the red headed girl had any strong reason to fall in love in the first place). The whole thing is pretty predictable at that point, and really I do mean the whole thing.

The Rocker 7/10

Rainn Wilson from The Office plays the main character. I like his brand of comedy and mannerisms, which made the movie for me. Nothing groundbreaking but definitely entertaining. Worth a rental at least.

Death Sentence - 6/10.

I like how Kevin Bacon was just a regular guy out for revenge and not like a vietnam vet (Rambo) or a guy with-special-skills-that-make-cause-people-to-have-nightmares (Liam Neeson). He had no special training and he did what he did.

I watched Casino Royale about thirty minutes ago for the second time and I think that Daniel Craig sucks. He has no charisma, no aspiration to have any Bond-like characteristics, just merely a bland guy who is well toned to fit the role of playing the main character in another ostentatious action film, which seem to be the in thing in the latter half of this decade. Brosnan was a different kind of Bond, but he was charming and fit the role convincingly. He is personally my second favorite Bond.

Casino Royale 6/10
