I watched a bunch of Resident Evil movies this weekend... now I have to figure out which ones and try to start at the beginning or something-it's killing me not knowing what happens after the helicopters show up

lusone:

Now we have to get you to play the video games so you know the back-story and to see if they followed correctly.

the first two were really entertaining (IMO) - Resident Evil-- The last one that was basically a cartoon I believe even MIlla couldn't have made me finish that one

I also liked (the $1.25 rental version) of Grown Ups 2- I enjoyed the whole Townie versus Spoiled College Kids theme.

I apparently watched the third (Extinction) and fourth (Afterlife), so I guess I'll have to go back and watch the first two since the last one doesn't come out until next year (maybe). It isn't very often that a movie will capture my full attention but I actually put my book down while they were on.

I doubt that. But yes, the first 2 are really good. They tend to follow the game and it's cool to see some of the same enemies. And of course, there's the infamous "Nemesis Program". :thumbs:

Finally saw The Wolf of Wall Street.

Damn. It was good. Although very few movies top the volume of drugs and sex in this one. Good flick. 4 stars.

Margot Robbie, who played his wife, is quite good except for that accent. Solid 4.5 stars.

 

[Supe]

I've had that in my Netflix queue for a while, guess I better watch it. I just have a problem with every Leo D. movie out there, because he looks like a little kid to me. I can't take him seriously.

 

[knight1fox3]

Good god please no. I mean Arnold is great, but some things should just be left alone in the movie world.

 

[Road Guy]

The creative types are all out of ideas....

I'm gonna go see Hot Tub Time Machine 2 and then call it quits on theatre movies for a long time.... Even Star Wars is gonna be terrible.... I'm done....

Babel...

Good... grief... I don't care what IMDB or RottenTomatoes says, that movie was not that good. The ACTING was good and the STORY was good untiiiilllllll, well, a family in Morocco is attacked and two little kids are alone in the hot wasteland between San Diego and someplace in Mexico. I guess being a dad of small kids has changed me to not like those kind of scenarios. It's not a very happy movie. In fact, it's rather sad. Do not plan to watch again. 2 stars.

 

[NJmike PE]

anyone seen Lucy with ScarJo? I'm kinda intrigued to see it based on the story line, and well, it's ScarJo. Interested to hear some reviews here

 

[MetsFan]

I watched The Fault in our Stars the other day. Man, what a depressing movie. I really didn't want to watch it, but I figured it was fair since I make my wife watch all those action movies.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Unless it has bewbs, explosions, or has to do with comic books, I'm probably not going to watch it.

Throwback Movie Review:

Sin City

Oh . . . My . . . Goodness . . . !!!

How did I miss this magnificent paragon of cinematic excellence the first time around? I kept meaning to watch it, but never quite did get around to it . . .until last week.

It has helicopters.

It has explosions.

It has Bruce Willis kicking arse on bad guys with sardonic wit.

It has dramatic pulp-comic dialogue delivered with over-the-top Shakesperian intensity.

It has militant gun-toting prostitutes and even a hooker-ninja. A HOOKER-NINJA! How awesome is that?

I'll go ahead and answer that for you: It's pretty f-awesome!

And for villians, who doesn't universally despise child-slaying-pedophilic-cannibals? it's almost like all you had to say was "Bruce Willis kicks butt on child-slaying-pedophilic-cannibals" and I could stare at a blank screen for two hours and still be entertained.

And finally, it has Jessica Alba dressed out in all her epic glory. Done.

I give Sin City 1 million stars. Best Movie Ever (Bewbs, Explosions, Comic Book, Hooker-Ninjas Category)

Even Star Wars is gonna be terrible.... I'm done....

WHOA there cowboy. Let's wait until the first trailer is released before bashing a legendary franchise.

Three words: Jar Jar Binks (ok, *technically* two words)

 

[Road Guy]

I am afraid SW is going to be like the recent Star Trek / Avengers / (insert any recent movie made like that) / etc all CGI and no soul..

Oh ye of little faith.
