Movie thread

One of the few movies I remember seeing at the drive-in was Schindler's List. It sucked. Mostly because we were near the front so the view was bad, but also because the speakers were all broken up there so we couldn't hear what anyone was saying. After about 30 minutes, my brother and I decided to play with some toys we had brought with us.

I can't imagine seeing That movie at the drive in, too depressing..

My parents took us to see Breakheart Pass at the drive-in. Me and my sister went in our PJs and fell asleep during the movie. I slept the whole ride home in the package shelf of our 1965 98 Oldsmobile.

By the time I was old enough to drive, what few drive-ins were left had switched to pr0n before they died. It was so long ago that Ron Jeremy was a skinny dude.

I have too many movies to review since my last post. Most were "meh". Some were really pretty good.

I saw Prometheus on opening night and was pretty disappointed. It didn't suck, but was not a great movie either. I really had a hard time following the intricacies of the plot. Not very scary either. Might be a good renter though.

Agreed

^Disagree. Sort of. I saw it two nights ago, and my initial thoughts were that the plot was weak and the characters absolutely ridiculous (in a scientific expedition to an unknown planet kind of way - who the F*&^ beckons an eyeless, alien worm like it is a kitten?).

But upon further reflection, I think it was pretty damn good in two ways: 1. The whole alien creationism idea - and all the mystery, potential mythology, and unanswered questions the film left. And, 2. the whole visual, cinematic, atmospheric "look" to the whole thing. Very cool. I am looking forward to the sequel (but I hope there's only one).

Not a "movie" but I've been Watching Jericho on Netflix, I can see where it was probably too slow to keep people interested on network tv, but it's not too bad with no commercials and not having to wait between episodes...

^And it had a Road Runner in it (for the first episode).

since we didn't get to the drive inn last weekend because mr snicks parents came down, we actually stayed for the second movie this weekend.

First movie: MIB3 - Better than the 2nd one, but overall an OK movie. Waiting for redbox is acceptable.

second movie: The Avengers - it was a good movie, probably worth seeing on the big screen for all the effects. BUt not having seen Capt america I think I missed some background. Scarlet johanson(?) as black widow was a casting MISS in my book. needed more of a Lara Croft edge to the charater, which she had in her first seen but after that it was horrible acting on her part.

I was very bummed when that was canceled. After they canceled it the first time, the backlash was big enough that they came back and filmed a few more episodes to close out the plot.

My son and I went to see hunger games yesterday, wanted to catch it before it was off the big screen.. Movie was just a tad too long, and i don't see how it did all that well, very slow going movie. When I read the book I couldn't put it down (even though I still think it was a copy of the long walk) but the book moved faster than the movie...

Overall I would still give the move a 7, compared to all the re-treads that the supposed creative people in Hollywood keep trying to make...

I'm actually watching shag, on deman right now. Odd spring break Phoebe cates movie set in 1963... I don't think it's going to show the famous Phoebe cates twins like in fast times at ridgemont high though...

 

[engineergurl]

lol, no I don't think it does

I don't think the twins make an appearance, but it has been years since I saw that movie.

It was made in Myrtle Beach when there was actually stuff from 1963 still standing. One of the first (if not the first) movies Bridget Fonda did.

I watched John Carter. Well, most of it. Kind of neat, kind of cheesy, I fell asleep about 3/4 way through (I think, may have been sooner?)

 

[cdcengineer]

The game is a great movie IMO

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Just finished the Green Lantern. Not bad, not great. Just good enough to add to the Netflix queue.

 

[blybrook PE]

Watched Ghost Rider 2 the other night. I wouldn't bother purchasing it, was glad it came from netflix. Will not be one I watch again.

Only way to really watch this movie is to forget the first movie in its entirety. They completely redid the story line for how it all started and the graphics were horrible. Very low budget type movie for the hype.

Which one? The one with Michael Douglas? If so, I liked that too.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I'm signed up to watch Lincoln the Vampire Hunter on Friday.

Kill me.

That movie looks kick ass!
