What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?

So let me get this straight , what you are saying is in your alternate universe where communist Russia still exists women kick and punch you?
OK I except that. It still makes more sense than anything Abybeats has writtten.

The Russians are so wily that they have tricked the world into believing they are no longer communists hell-bent on taking over the world. I've got one living across the street from me- he looks suspicious...

Speaking of suspicious Russians, I went paintballing this past weekend. There was a Russian team, and they were just too good, if you know what I mean. I decided to test them out, so I hid behind a wall for a whole round, and they still found me. Now make of that what you must, but I'm with MBM on this one. There's an entire secret army of them that can see through walls. It's the only logical explanation.

As for last watched movie: Dinner for Schmucks. I won't be one of the somber people who denies I laughed, but I will be respectable enough to say I regretted doing so. It wasn't a "classic" comedy movie, but rather a movie that tried to be offensively, reservedly, funny. The only issue is, unlike classics in a similar theme, such as "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" or "With Honors" (which I thought was fantastic), we never got to see Paul Rudd get pushed to the edge. Most of the mishaps were more than an easy fix, and with him unable to act out a gradual decrease in his patience, it seemed quite intangible losing his temper so promptly after the movie started.

Cheesy ending, aside, it was a movie that I didn't regret wasting its runtime out of my life for; and I appreciated the fact that they didn't find an impending necessity to integrate the movie's title into the script somehow. I expected the title to be worked into a certain scene on a terrace where Rudd says "This dinner isn't what you think it is... it's a dinner for idiots, a dinner for schmucks," but the script bowed out of the opportunity just in time. One thing I would have enjoyed to see in the ending, was for everything to go back to the way it was, before the movie started, save for Rudd having a better position, but in the spirit of a family/comedy movie of sorts, I assume the director went in the ideal direction of not having a redeemed hero work hand-in-hand with, what were portrayed (unbelievably so) as people with an extreme sense of detachment.

EDIT: I wish just once, a screenplay writer would realize the fact that Chaplin didn't even need more than intertitles to make people laugh, and the Three Stooges made for a better comedic experience in a bloody canoe, as opposed to what "Dinner for Schmucks" achieved with a hawk, a fraudulent psychic, a brain control freak, and a dead mouse collector stuck together in one room.

More reasonable explanation is that they just followed the sound of your whimpering.

As for Dinner with Schmucks as you probably know it's a remake of the French film Le Dîner De Cons.The problem being is that Mericans in film at least , are afraid to go for the jugular and portray themselves as really irredeemably unlikable even when the part screams for it.Hence you are left with half- measure assholes and endearing idiots which is simply not what the movie is all about.

The Expendables (2010) - I enjoyed itWith the all star cast and so on.Blood,Guts,Guns, and bad guys.It was a bit unrealistic with the body chopping off parts but why hold it against them.The film was exciting and funny at some times.I also got to see Stone Cold Steve Austin fight MMA legend Randy Couture, It was cool!I like the part where Sylvester Stallone says to willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to become president

Piranha - 2010

lol, i thought this was a lot better than expected. so much blood and bones! i loved that part of the film and of course there wasn't much else to this but the gore factor which was fine by me. this in fact was a worthy remake imo. nothing like seeing a human being torn apart in seconds by flesh craved "extinct" fish. they left the ending open for a sequel. i'll definitely be checking that out too. if u wanna see countless bodies torn apart limb by limb this is ur movie! red water, wet tits and great scotts! 7.5/10



Macgruber - 2010

horrible, horrible film. when the lonely island announced they had a film coming out i was excited until i saw the trailer. just by watching that i knew it was gonna suck. i try to finish all films i start and i did manage to make it through this in 2 sittings. not one laugh or any sense of satisfaction what so ever. i nominate this the #1 worst film of 2010. celery, mullets and nuclear castrations. .5/10 (for the soundtrack i guess)
