lol fanboys

Trying to watch Upstream Color the third time. Its a bit disturbing and hard to watch in one session

spring breakers - boring and vapid, watch 'starlet' instead, a much better film on somewhat similar topic.

Uh, I recently saw White Chicks for the first time. It reminded me of how 80's comedy films could be shitty. But then overall not bad. But if I said I loved it, I would need a cream cardigan wrapped around the collar of my baby blue golf shirt. I would have to wear khaki pants but be content with some light stains. I would have to not be able to tell the difference between any brews of coffee. I would have to say "I work out", which would actually mean I only do light cardio at my workplace gym (and my body would be rickety). I would have to style my hair with some product in just the front- and think I'm sharp- but leave the back with original morning pillow mess. I would have to "like" the Mona Lisa painting cuz it's "good art". I would have to watch Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood and wonder why they had to use so much profanity and think the grandma punching scene was "not funny and too violent"; after which I would end with, "I loved White Chicks, though."

And your first post even. Good job.

White Chicks is a watchable film because of Terry Crews excellent acting

Jamie Foxx was pretty good in it.

Jamie Foxx? I think you're thinking of Jackie Chan in Back To The Future II.

spring breakers wasn't particulary interesting other than the atmosphere / sort of ambient music-scenes. i liked those.

The Devils

Wow......just wow. It may be a total cliche but: They really don't make em' like that any more!
think someone in this thread saw it recently enough?
Very very very much recommended - and has inspired me to investigate Ken Russel more
potentially goes on a touch too long...but only barely
so much unique and interesting bits going on here, near masterpiece scale/10

superman 2 - passed the time. It did have me wondering a few things, like why doesn't superman fly standing up, why is his default position to lie down with his arm thrust forward? Maybe he does it because it looks cool, or perhaps there's some special power in his open palm, that helps to drag his through the ether. I spent the film pondering shit of this sort.

Bloodsport - van damme as a youngster duking it out in Hong Kong. Was based on a 'true' story, the wiki desputes this.

Electra Glide in Blue - got bored, gave up. Didn't skip because my brother wanted to watch the rest later. I forgot to read the wiki synopsis, was gonna do that after deciding that i didn't care to watch the film. Can't be bother now.

I've pondered this as well. I'm no fan of Superman, comicbook or otherwise. But, a person flying just doesn't make sense. Where does his propulsion truly come from? I've only been left thinking he can blow everlasting farts to varying degrees of anus control.

johnny english reborn - silly fun but gets boring

olympus has fallen

silly and at times downright cringeworthy patriotism porn. still though, entertaining for what it is, felt a bit like this is what the new die hard should've been.

just finished watching. everything was so implausible that it might as well have been a Steven Seagal movie. at first it looked like mindless patriotism porn but then they made the US government look like impotent wimps. it kind of looks like slander disguised as patriotism

4/10

I almost forgot, I watched The Great Gatsby not long ago and really liked it. (did I post about it?, can't rmember)

A lot of people were slagging it off for using hip-hop music, although I thought it jarred (a little not a lot) this didn't ruin the film for me.

I thought it was beautifully shot and the performances were vivid (if a little overdone). Some of it was slightly over directed (literally "reaching"?)

On the whole I felt it really brought the book to life (I read it ages ago but had forgotten most of it). 8/10

PS Leo's acting made me forget for a short while that he is a bit of a potatoface (new potato).

Movie 43 - Lame on every level imaginable. Marginally better than Sound Of My Voice due to the absence of hipsters. 1/10

Bullhead - Nice original premise, unpredictable. Could have used a little more intensity at the finale. 7/10

To The Wonder - I guess one day when i can understand this properly it could be life affirming. Until then, five point five out of ten

The Road - Don't know why it's taken me so long to get round to watching this. 8.5/10

Godfather Part 3 - A bit of a waste. It was extremely clumsy in parts, especially the last hour where it seemed like they were trying to fill up time for the hell of it. Held together mainly by the people who featured in the first two and Andy Garcia. The rest of them (a lot of the old timers) felt they'd just walked in off a Walter Matheau comedy. 6/10

Jurassic Park: Damn, that shit is so fucking good. 10/10

bikini academy: basically, these hot bimbos are patrolling the beaches (as lifeguards) and keeping vacationers safe. basically, baywatch except everyone looks like pam anderson but goes by the name ashlie rhey and tane mcclure

ten perfectly siliconed boobs out of ten

the purge

I shouldn't feel challenged by such posts ... I saw it too, the entire thing (okay I did have a 20 minute conversation at some point with the sound turned down to some 5%) - literary a piece of shit. The idea could have led to an interesting, entertaining low-budget-experience, but instead they sat in that damn house all the fucking time, terrible characters etc I can't even begin... not even fun - DO NOT feel challenged to watch by what I just said!

Mucho tatas in this one as well:

Dinosaur Island

http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0109627/

Spring Breakers: I understood what the director was trying to convey, how the youth become shallow and violent through the media glorification of spring break. But in the end, i didnt feel like there was a lot of substance in the movie and i went into it thinking it'd be a lot more shocking. There was so much fluff, it was a little unbearable but i guess that's kind of the point, to show how shallow these girls are. Decent concept that could've been done a lot better in my humble opinion

Black Dynamite: Best film ever made 10/10
