What Movie Did You Just See?

[Penny Lane]

Watching Snatch. God, I forgot how fucking great this movie is.

I was crying for laughing so hard at that damn dog who swallowed the squeaky ball! ;D

Or the scene where Vic tells Tony to cut up the dog to get the diamond out calmly and Tony hesitant about hurting a little dog even though he has no qualms about blowing your head off.

TURKISH is HAWT!!

I'm comfortable enough in my heteroness to say oh good lord he is.

The Expendables - 3/10: oh sly.  what horrible directing, acting, writing, effects.  haha, it did have a particularly hilarious scene with two big name actors.  SPOILER ALERT: when arnold makes his cameo with bruce willis I laughed by fucking ass off.  I'm convinced now the only reason arnold stopped making movies was because he started becoming more of a comedic identity.  Every single word he said was funny.  What he was saying was stupid but it hilarious.  That 30seconds was one of the only worth watching parts.  old school explosions.  cheese galore.  I forget his name but the UFC wrestler that's in it was so out of his league.  if he wouldn't have been in it and there was more screen time for the other dudes it would have been way more bad ass but they kept doing shots of him doing wrestling moves and arm bars and shit.  fucking dumb.  but at the same time I can't fault sly because this was a classic cliche action film but it seemed very low budget.  (perhaps because hiring the cast was so expensive?).  It makes me sad that all the action heroes are getting old as fuck.  they had to speed up the frame rate at some spots to make them seem like they were moving faster.  trying to be all artsy.  very drawn out.  hmm, that's a pretty good review I'd say.  

watching it once is worth it for a decent laugh.  it is not worth paying money to see.  it should have gone straight to dvd.  an R5 leaked and it's dvd quality so I'm sure if you nerds search around you can find it somewhere.

Disappointed.  I was glad to see MMJ as Ruckus, though I do believe putting Patrick on keys is a waste.  I get the idea of a man and woman connecting as friends with thick sexual tension, as I've lived through many experiences of the sort, but for $%@%@ sake!  I got blue balls watching it.  I can't decide if I love or loathe Kristen Dunst.  I'm considering showing my 6 year old the scene of the kids watching the video of Rusty blowing up the house if the kids promise to listen to their parents.  She might keep that promise.  Some cute moments, some good tunes, but mostly a frustrating dry hump of a movie.

Robin Hood 3/10: Ridley Scott, wtf? this movie should have been called Robin Hood: The Prequel.  gives you about 15-20minutes of action in the beginning then turns into a 2hour drawn out peek-a-boo-I-love-you love fest, after that Mr. Scott leaves you with a final 15minutes or so of action.  Spoiler Alert: The end battle scene was like a lower budge version of Troy mixed with Saving Private Ryan.  instead of guns arrows and swords, but the boats were the same.  horses ran off them.  When I watch a robin hood movie I want to see he steal tons of jewels and give to the poor and shit.  wtf is this "oh my god you know who my dad is?" bullshit.  fucking lame is what it is.  Another thing, there is no way you would ever survive a make out session while a battle is winding down.  I don't care who you shot with an arrow, a minute ago there were 1000s of swords trying to cut your head off now you're making out?

It must be an ego trip for these directors to remake these classic stories "their" way.  Alien was way better.

Nothing will ever touch The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone.

Basil Rathbone.

That could be the greatest porn name also.

[Jaimoe]

Basil Rathbone.

That could be the greatest porn name also.

And if you've seen him in Robin Hood and Captain Blood, you'll see that he's a master swordsman (no joke).

Thank God peeps are starting to talk about Errol Flynn...

I  was looking for feedback on Machete and got a pleasant comedic surprise.  Gracias.

House Of Sand And Fog - Very good but rather depressing. Excellent performances from Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly.

Harold And Maude - Entertaining film, good soundtrack. They took things a little further than I was expecting.

Im sure youve seen Inception, True, so you should check out that thread I started for it and post some thoughts

THE HURT LOCKER

Wow. Definitely one of the best films I've seen in LONG long time.

I'll read through later. I liked it, but not as much as Nolan's other films. I recently saw Following so i've now seen all of his films. I am anticipating a second viewing of it, it might grow on me. Usually his movies require at least two viewings anyway.

I loved that movie, so bad ass.

Frozen 2/10: Okay here's the premise, 3 people, a boyfriend, his girlfriend, and the boyfriends best friend are trapped on a sky lift for an hour and 20minutes after they pay 100fucking dollars (what a deal) to sneak on the lift a couple times.

 spoiler alert: what the fuck? how fucking low is the bar in hollywood right now?  sure this probably went straight to dvd but what the fuck.  1st of all if you jump off a ski lift and then break your legs a pack of wolves is not going to instantly come at eat you.  especially after there was a huge plow truck thing driving around a few hours earlier.  but regardless the boyfriend falls and breaks his legs and then gets eaten by wolves.  apparently wolves are a serious problem on really really commercialized ski resorts.

spoiler alert continued:
so after this dude gets eaten by a pack of wild ski wolves the best friend decides "hey I'm going to climb this razor wire cable a few hundred feet to a ladder in blizzard conditions." "oh shit my hands are bloody, I'm at the ladder and have plenty of time to bandage them up but nah fuck it"...he gets to the bottom of the stairs "oh shit the wolves are back, I'm a fucking pussy, I've got a sky pole but these wolves seemed trained... almost like somebody is commanding them to go against instinct.  hmm.  so he slides down the mountain on a snowboard with wolves in chase.  meanwhile girlfriend in up in a now broken chair lift waiting for it to finally snap.  when it does she makes it fairly safely to the ground, breaks one leg, but still way better than boyfriend.  she body surfs down the mountain past.. what is it. "OH NO!" "WOLVES!" "THEY'RE EATING SNOWBOARD DUDE! NO!!!" "oh shit the wolf is 2 feet in front of me and it's going to eat my face off with the rest of this huge mountain ski wolf pack"!! "woof" the leader of the wolf howls and they scurry away.  trashy whore ends up on the side of the road and is rescued.  

Moral of the story fuck wolves?  They're a borderline endangered piece in the UP.  watch the unrated version of MacGruber instead, I love that movie.  classic 80's action comedy with a twist.
