That's pretty epic

WALL-E - What a cute movie, the non-speaking confused me a bit but once I got used to it I kind of wish they kept it the whole movie.
Toy Story 1, 2 & 3 - Why did it take me this long to sit down and watch these movies? I'm an idiot, that's why. Never thought a movie about toys could be this fun.

Positive word of mouth from others assuring me that it was different. It was the same trash.

You get that break the mold line from a press release?

No, I can just write above an eighth grade level. You'll get there soon enough, junior Baby steps!

Seriously though, why would you believe this one would be different? What other franchise can you name where the fourth installment is a major departure and completely different than the ones before it? Hell, the trailer itself spells out what the movie is about. What exactly were you expecting?

I saw Insidious tonight. Not bad. Certainly not without its charm But definitely shot on digital and on a budget. But a pretty good throw back to old school horror.

It was in my post. Word of mouth. Friends of mine telling me over and over that it was different.

So based on that I was expecting something atleast slightly entertaining. Something that wasn't an annoying sh*t show. Still not sure why you care so much that somebody didn't like the movie

ANYWHO.

Watched some muhfuggin Rocky Balboa. Mason Dixon's pink lips make him the best Rocky villain of the series.

ah yes. Mason the Line Dixon.
Watched Batman:Gotham Knight finally.
It was ok. The story with Deadshot was the best though.

I know what you said. I guess my question is why would you believe them and spend 12 bucks on... ah screw it I don't care lol.

I saw Aviator tonight for the first time. Not bad. I remember growing up hating Leonardo DiCaprio just because every other guy was at the time since he was the new heartthrob after Titanic. Now that I think of it, I cant name a single performance of his I didn't like lol.

Uh, Titanic maybe?

When I look back at DiCaprio's career, there are few I don't like either, save the "heartthroby" ones: Titanic and Romeo & Juliet. He also seems to get better with age. (Both his and mine. )

From his Growing Pains roots, there was nowhere to go but up. My goodness, was that ever some terrible acting. I think he's an acceptably decent actor now.

Catfish.


The way this movie plays out , is ridiculous.

I'm giving away the plot in the spolier below so don't read it if you don't want to know.

Spoiler:
It's a documentary and a true story.

This guy is a photographer , he gets a painting of one of his photos that was in the newspaper. The photo says it was painted by a little girl named abby. He gets a FB request from her and befriends her , her mom , her older sister megan and him and megan start hitting it off. Abby's mom Angela keeps sending him paintings and him and megan get closer and closer.


to make this short , for 9 months he's been having a relationship with this girl , megan. he goes on a trip to suprise / meet her , finds out there is no megan. He's been having a relationship , feelings for , and sending dirty text with , a 40 yr old married woman. ( angela the mom ) , who is also the painter of the paintings. She has no daughter named megan , abby is real but doesnt paint. & this Angela lady has over 15 FB accounts that she runs herself and befriends ppl and builds relationships with. its so sad and pathetic and weird and when it's all said and done Angela feels terrible for what she's done & deletes all her accounts ect, & I feel terrible for that guy too

Lately,
Here After, Waste of my Time. Plot was EXTREMELY slow for my taste.

Ticking Clock, Not new, but There was nothing in Redbox, and to my surprise, I REALLY loved this movie. I was a huge fan of the "Twist" with the Serial Killer. I don't want to give anything away because it's defenetly worth renting.

The King's Speech, This one was was worth the rent too, and this movie DEFENETLY lived up its reputation of winning 4 oscars, it defenetly deserved it. The acting was really good!
There was a Queen Elizabeth movie that came out a not too long ago, I think. Makes me want to rent that after watching The Kings Speech though.

AND if you guys haven't seen Tangled yet, YOU NEED TO. Haha, I love that movie so much.

This weekend my wife and I watched Super Cops, a Cantonese Street Fighter rip-off. Heard about it through Movie Bob on the Escapist.

All-Star Superman
Lame. PG? Why? What happened that brought about this change? Is it permanent? The voice used for Superman was pretty irritating. While the differences between Supes and Clark were more obvious, Clark was almost entirely an unlikeable whiner. Don't even get me started on 'the serum'. >_<

I watched Spy Next Door the other night, which had its ups & downs. There wasn't as much stunt action as I hoped for (though I certainly didn't expect there to be) but I enjoyed seeing Jackie Chan play suburban father a lot more than I would. Laughed out loud a good amount of times. The best part about it was seeing George Lopez get decked in the face a few times. I hate his guts. too bad he didn't actually get snuffed. Having seen him and Billy Ray Cyrus come on screen 5 mins into the film had me ready to puke & cut it off but thankfully they got very little screen time. I'd recommend it to Chan fans & guess those who like light-hearted family safe movies.

The night before that I saw Hot Tub Time Machine, I love time travel movies but this didn't cut it for me. The humor was very generic, predictable & crude, I wasn't a fan of the actors, and I didn't really feel like they utilized the travel as best as they could've. I could count on one hand how many times I laughed. I mean, I still enjoyed it to an extent, but I wasn't impressed at all...

Currently watching Pokemon: Arceus & The Jewel Of Life & I gotta say these new flicks pale in comparison to the first 5 or 6. The animation is good & all & I'll leave my voice actor remarks in my last post, but they just lack heart now. There used to always be a sad depressing part and a heartfelt moment, usually a lesson to be learned, etc. They were wholesome but you never felt like anything was being shoved down your throat, & they'd bring a tear to yer eye (if you're that kinda person, and I'll admit I am). Now they're just kinda shallow. Still entertaining from the perspective of someone who wants backstory on characters seen in the games (almost always being the "legendary" pokemon you catch in the end), though.

Because there's nothing in the book to constitute anything above that.

Also why would the rating mean anything to you at all?

Uh no? The point of the DTVs is to tell stories with alittle more freedom. That doesn't mean everything has to be harder edged.

All-Star Superman is an adaptation. Why would they add content to make it PG-13?

Scream 4. I really enjoyed it. I am a big fan of the Scream franchise so I might be a little biased but it sure is great to see a slasher film in the theatres again.
