Mommie Dearest (1981) - The movie seems like a lots of random scenes put together.In all, Going on for two hours.I am just glad i do not have a mother like this.I've only seen one Joan Crawford film (Mildred Pierce) so i dont know much about her but the movie makes her look like a bitch.6/10

Inception - masterpiece. Without any doubt, best movie of the year.

Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Cop Out has go to be one of the shittest movies of the year. There was no serious plot just jumping back and forth in no order, there was little to no comedy (don't know why it was advertised as such). Even the racist slurs were pathetic.
Who can fuck up racial comedy?
Besides, the concept has already been done and much more successful - Rush Hour.

Peter Howell Movie Critic
Open letter to Kevin Smith, disgruntled filmmaker:
I understand you’re furious about the critical drubbing that your recent movie
Cop Out received. So much so that you’ve been ranting on Twitter about how you’re going to get back at all those ink-stained hacks who vex you so much.
You want to start charging critics to see your movies, instead of getting “free” advance looks at them. To me, and to many of my fellow critics, your idea sounds like being asked to pay to perform jury duty. We consider it neither honour nor privilege to see your movies. I wish I’d had an excellent excuse to avoid having to see
Cop Out, which already tops my list as the worst film of 2010.
And for the record, there is no such thing as a “free” movie for a critic. Anything that involves writing on a notepad in the dark and thinking about what you’re going to say about it afterwards isn’t playtime. It’s work.
Here’s how much I hated
Cop Out, your foul, unfunny and ultimately sad excuse for entertainment starring a cheque-cashing Bruce Willis and the desperately hopeless Tracy Morgan. Prior to seeing it, I always thought that a single star rating was enough to indicate a truly bad movie.
The Star didn’t have a rating lower than that.
But
Cop Out convinced me that it was possible to be worse than one star. It was unfair to so many one-star movies to be considered equal to a ten-megaton bomb like
Cop Out.
So I asked
The Star’s software gurus to create a half star rating for
Cop Out. You may take some pride in knowing that
The Toronto Star’s new half-star rating was inspired by your work. If future movies descend to the depths reached by
Cop Out, they too, can have the half-star of shame.

Paranormal Activity (2007) - I did not take the covers advice and i watched it alone in the dark:O ... I don't think this movie would be scary even if i had a real demon problem.:dry:I don't have anything against this movie but it does talk a lot of shit, like claiming people were passing out and throwing up in the theaters.If you want to see the best parts just youtube night 18 and 20.The ending did take me by surprise tho:whistlingsix/ten

Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
I agree with you on PA, ziggy. The great thing, and the greatest failing, of this kind of movie is that all the really spooky stuff plays out in the imagination of the audience. When it comes time for the movie to compete with that, they are doomed to meet with disappointment. We want the thing that has held our attention to meet/exceed our expectations, but special effects cannot do what we hope.
Granted, the ending (I assume you saw the same version I did- there were 2 or 3) was interesting. All in all, I thought they did a better job (no nausea-inducing camera spins) than Blair Witch.
Nice jobs on your recent reviews, z!

Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
I honestly can't remember. I saw Cop Out a long time ago, and I can't remember what else since then. I thought it could have been a lot better.
I am really looking forward to Scream 4, though.

Scream (1996) - This is now my second or even first favorite horror film besides halloween, Which they feature in this movie.Nothing was cheesy and thats what i look for in a horror.Also i like how they explain how other horror movies follow a formula then they don't follow it.9/10

Shogun Assassin (1980) - Ninja sword movie about a guy on a mission to get revenge for the killing of his wife, Along side his son.The son narrates the whole movie and is one of the best elements of it.He has a very raspy and saddened voice for some someone that sounds maybe 7 or so.Theres also tons of blood and the chopping of limbs.Very good stuff.It would be an eight star rating but the film is only a hour and a half.7 1/2

Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
True Romance
I think this one's a bit overrated, like everything with Tarantino attached to it. That doesn't mean it's a bad movie, though. There are a few great dialogues, a nice shooting scen with feathers (that's cool) and Patricia Arquette. Still it's no 7,9, it's more 7,1,1.

I didn't understand why Inglorious Basterds was hyped so much. Only conclusion I found is that the Germans talk extremely fast compared to the French.

Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Monsters (2010).
A NASA probe returning to Earth from Jupiter crashes in Mexico.
Six years later, northern Mexico is an "Infected Zone", the movies' two protagonists must cross this zone to safety in the US.
This is the anti-Bay monster film...very languid pace, very few encounters with the aliens.
In fact, outside of a few set-piece scenes that happen to include creatures, this is more like a "meet-weird" romcom than a traditional sci-fi film.
The main characters- some guy and a girl (apparently the only professional actors in this low budget movie)- are extremely irritating.
Way too much "What's that?" and "Why do they have guns?" stupidity...fer crissake, you're in the "Infected Zone" and you hear a weird howling noise, IT'S THE BLOODY ALIENS, YOU TWIT!
THE ALIENS ARE WHY YOUR GUIDES ARE CARRYING WEAPONS, MORON!
YOU FUCKING DESERVE TO DIE, YOU"RE SO STUPID!
Outside of some obvious CGI, the movie is pretty realistic- the location scout should get bigger billing.
The acting is serviceable.
The screenplay is little more than a suggestion.
I was bored.
I'd recommend you skip it.

The fact that if degenerated into mythological nonsense that didn't make any sense wasn't a deal buster?
"And stuff" is that when Charlize Theron was on screen ?

Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Lots and lots and lots .Trouble is ,as with most things here and for nobodies fault , I find that my tastes just don't fall in line with the norm. I tend to like movies that are uplifting and people of a certain age, if online forums are any indication, seem to gravitate to darker themes since they ( presumably, at least that's what psychiatric community say) gravitate towards things that reflect the darkness in their own lives and as well as the fact they are still dealing with coming to grips with mortality .
As for comedies it's usually more of a "been there,done that" in infinitely better movies sort of situation .Some movies I don't like because they are simply indefeasibly bad though . Transformers
But about Handcawk you disagree then that the whole mythology bit was under-explained and over-done? I understand that the writer needed some "seed " to germinate the life or death situation of the climax but since this was otherwise more or less a children's/teen popcorn movie and not some deep exploration into the creation of heroes and myth ,I think a lot more straight forward ( or at least clearer) plot would have worked better.
Btw I never said that I didn't like the movie. I just didn't feel that part worked , as I also thought the whole part of going to prison ( butt up ass aside) was contrived and poorly done and ultimately pointless as well.

The last movie I watched was Scott Pilgrim VS the world... a very good and funny movie in my opinion, people that are familiar with PC/Console games will sure love it.

Despicable Me (2010) - Cute at times.But lacks a lol factor.Even the kids were getting a little uninterested by the time the movie was over.Not bad, Just not good.Five out of ten.

Calling me late teens early twenties is both a insult and a compliment . As for initiating "flame wars" , I don't . I have "lively discussions " and a bit of fun with rarely any bad intent.Just an exercise in creative writing and attempting to get people to think a bit really.
Oh course I don't really honestly know what flame wars means so maybe I in fact do.
Btw I'd tell you my age if you really want to know but this being the internet and the fact of the matter being that I could be a 12 year old Asian boy or a thrice divorced 47 year old Black woman from Kanas City and still tell you that I'm a SWM of 31 from Ontario ,I don't really see the point.

Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Going against the grain because it makes creative writing...yeah thats flaming.

Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Cool, then I take it that you are also a bit of a "against the grain " sort of person since everyone that I've talked to seems to refer to you as being quite the flamer.

Re: What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?
Today I had the 'job' of sitting through 1:25:55 of "Mr. Bean's Holiday with subtitles. I think Rowan Atkinson is a genius but when it comes to feature films I'm ashamed to watch him.
Richard Curtis should be ashamed of himself also, after the Blackadder series especially Blackadder Goes Forth (Army Years) and the Mr Bean series how can he write such dribble?
My whole reaction to the movie was this:
http://i54.tinypic.com/afezdi.png
I didn't quite notice this but I believe Curtis is out of ideas. After watching some of the classic British sitcoms most of the amusing scenes were sourced from other sitcoms.
eg.

Sounds vaguely familiar to an episode of Fawlty Towers called "Zee Germans"

Dear Zachary (2009).
This is a documentary and that's about all I can tell you about it without ruining the experience.
[disclaimer] My friend j2 recommended this movie and I'm thankful he didn't tell me what it was about beforehand...[/disclaimer]
This was an almost perfect viewing experience in the sense I had no prior knowledge of the events and the film takes some wildly unexpected turns.
In other words, I had no idea what was going to happen next and was thrilled by the ride.
It's so unusual to see a film that doesn't telegraph it's punches and catches you by surprise.
The film is also surprisingly sweet, given the subject matter.
I know this an odd and uniformative "review" but I can't see any way of being specific without lessening the impact (which I found considerable).
Watch it.

Open Season 2
I'm not really a fan of animated comedy but I was impressed with Open Season 2. The objects were nothing special especially on the deer "Giselle"

Did you enjoy the film nails? Who played Rodger? For some reason it reminded me or Johnny Depp :blink:.
Going to watch tonight:
- High Life (2009)
- Legend of the Guardians (2010)
- Tim Burton's Frankenweenie (1984)
- Going the Distance (2010)
Need some more films that are worth watching. None of these supposed 'teen comedies'.
