What's the latest movie you've seen? - Page 91

*Mr. Snackpants* · 09-02-2009, 08:19 AM

I saw Cape Fear, the original and the remake. I really didn't care for either but if I had to pick one I'd pick the original.

I think everyone did.

Saw The Final Destination 3D Sunday night. Horrible acting, even worse dialogue, no plot, but it was friggin' awesome. You can't beat over the top, completely ridiculous death scenes in 3D. I laughed a lot. Don't plan on ever seeing it again, though.

Convoy
Spartacus
The Killer Elite
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia

All were exciting movies.

*Mecha Cow* · 09-04-2009, 03:45 PM

Ghost Rider. It was f*cking awful, though Cage was hilarious as always.

Gamer with Gerad Butler. pretty good. a little different for sure

*Warhorse* · 09-07-2009, 10:15 AM

Saw Gamer. It was weird. It had some awesome scenes, and some really f***cked up scenes. I might get it for the action scenes alone though when it comes on DVD. I really liked the hand to hand combat scenes, and what happens to a particular

30 Days of Night. Bloody hell, that movie sucked.

*Cure* · 09-07-2009, 11:55 AM

I saw Gamer. It was pretty dumb, but I was entertained. I like that they threw in tea bagging, haha.

*Brodie* · 09-07-2009, 12:42 PM

I'm beginning to think people who watch and hate 30 Days of Night haven't ever picked up the comic.

*cowabunga14* · 09-07-2009, 12:43 PM

Reservoir Dogs
The White Buffalo
Mighty Joe Young ('49)

Engaging movies.

I haven't, but I hardly see how that's relevant! Unless you're suggesting that the comic sucked too... but even then that wouldn't excuse the movie for sucking.

cowabunga14: Did you catch the lion pooping in Mighty Joe Young?

*Brodie* · 09-07-2009, 02:29 PM

So a movie sucks because its a new take on vampires that doesn't suck (i.e. Twilight), has an amazing atmosphere, build tension, has gore but doesn't always rely on it?

And its relevant because the movie is a good adaptation of the graphic novel, unlike many other ****** comic book movies that people on the forum seem to adore and think are spectacular (i.e. Spider-Films).

It works as a decent adaptation and a decent horror flick.

I'd really like to know what the problems with the film are. Cause all you're saying is "suck," repeatedly.

watched part of Star Trek Generations, City Slickers II Legend of Curley's Gold and The Goonies

Wait, so you're criticizing me for not giving the movie a full review in a thread in which people briefly note the latest movie(s) they've seen?

But -- briefly -- I'd say it neither had an amazing atmosphere nor built tension, was more like "3 or 4 Days of Night With Long Gaps During Which Apparently Nothing Happened" (I suspect that was done better in the comics, since I'm guessing there were one-panel flashbacks or something to important events that took place during the intervening days), had vampires that seemed more concerned with wearing people's blood than drinking it, ruined a cool premise by having the vamps kill almost everyone in the town during the first night (seriously, you don't need 30 days to do that!), and had a completely laughable conclusion.

Could I elaborate? Sure -- easily -- but I'm trying to be brief here.

Saw Wanted for the first time last weekend. I was satisfied.

*cowabunga14* · 09-08-2009, 08:06 PM

Watched The Frighteners yesterday and it was fun, entertaining stuff.
