What's the last movie you've seen?

[dead0man]

Tideland-WHOA, weird movie.  Good though.  It's one of those movies you don't need to see more than once.  Or would want to.  Great acting by the little girl and the "special" kid.

Last House on the Left-Kind of disappointing.  I was expecting something....a little more?..I'm not sure.  I suppose it was ahead of it's time, but it's been done better by a lot of movies since.  I doubt it will make it into my regular rotation of horror movies.  It probably didn't help that I saw a (poorly) edited version of the movie on TV when I was 11 or 12 so I kind of knew what was going to happen.

[dead0man]

Just to be clear, I saw the original Last House on the Left, not the current remake.  I haven't seen any of the recently remade horror movies.  Well, I've seen bits and pieces of the new Hills Have Eyes and Texas Chainsaw Massacre and I will probably watch the new Friday the 13th when it makes it to DVD as I'm a fan of the series.  For the most part, the remakes all suck.

[dead0man]

Trees Lounge-good, not great

The Seventh Sign-meh.  Demi Moore naked is enough to take the "suck" out of any movie though.

[dead0man]

Eagle Eye- 2 hours of STUPID!  Avoid at all costs.

[dead0man]

k...I wasn't done yet when I posted that.  Somehow it got worse over the last several minutes (I'm actually still not done with it yet).  Is this the worst movie Spielburg has ever been involved with?  If not, what is worse?  Maybe it's a really clever parody of movies like it?

[dead0man]

Can anyone name a good musician who's a conservative?

Rush, Ted Nugent, Ramones, ...yeah, it's a short list (and you could make good arguments against two of them)...there are others though.

[dead0man]

Battle Royal II-Very good (if a bit cheesy).  The Japanese punk over the ending credits kicked ass too.

Ah yes...I'm seeing a correlation between the decline of rock in the 70s and the political views of its artists.

becasue 1% of album sales came from conservative artists, that's why rock declined?

[dead0man]

Pineapple Express-my kind of movie....obviously not for everybody.

[dead0man]

Zack and Miri make a porno-As good as I expected.  Pissed that there is no commentary track though.

[dead0man]

The original is a big joke. The "acting" is downright laughable, the soundtrack is hilariously innapropiate, and the production values are so week it seems more silly than brutal. I'll probably see that remake sometime since it looks like it was actually done well.

Yep.  I just watched the original a month ago or so...twice actually as I ran the commentary track after I watched it.  There is tons of bad.  Acting, editing, cinemetography.  Still, a "must see" if you're into the genre.

[dead0man]

A couple of John Waters classics;Women Trouble and Desperate Living.  Both brutally bad without the over the top disgustingness of Pink Flamingos.  I don't know why I do this to myself.

Gonzo, a Hunter S. Thompson documentary.  Very good with lots of interviews and what not.

[dead0man]

Jumpers-boring....I wasn't paying attention during the credits...had NO idea that was Anakin Skywalker for like the first half of the movie.  Weird.  They did do a good job with the "jump" effect....visually at least.  And it's always good too see S.L.Jackson as a bad guy.  Probably the biggest mistake was making the lead so unlikable after he got his "gift" and then not doing enough to make up for it by the end of the movie.


I've got Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crstal Skull....wow that's a long ass title.  Should I watch it or just file it away for some future rainy day?  I'm a huge Raiders and Doom fan, I'm afraid this movie will just piss me off.

[dead0man]

Dead Clowns-Zombie clowns!  Not anywhere near as fun as it sounds.  Boring actually.

NOFX:Backstage Pass-Best reality show ever.  The biggest punk band not a major label takes a world tour to crazy places.  More cops than fans in Jakarta.  Doing lines of some unknown drug in Singapore (where all drugs are VERY illegal).  Escaping from the a gig in Peru being chased by cops and the military.  Singing "Kill All the White Man" in South Africa.  El Hefe putting on Muslim headgear in Malaysia and pissing off a good chunk of the crowd and causing a very "western" looking guy coming on stage and berating him for it....good times. (there are two Jews in NOFX)  If you like idiots doing idiotic things, this is your movie.

[dead0man]

Enter...the Zombie King (AKA Zombie Beach Party)-much more exciting than Zombie Clowns.  Imagine if you will....a bunch of Canadians (apparently very low end "pro" wrestlers), dress them up as Mexican lucha libres (masked wrestlers that tend to do a lot of "high flying" moves...sadly very little of the high flying wrestling was in the movie, they just dressed this way), set it in the US and have them fight zombies.  ALL of the fighting was done in a pro wrestling style.  Most of the characters had the lucha libre masks on the whole movie.  If you like bad zombie movies, wrestling and mannequin heads rolling around for no reason at all....this is the movie for you.

[dead0man]

Grass-Documentary on.....well, grass.  Narrated by Woody Harrelson it goes through the history of pot in the US.  It's funked up.  I challenge anybody that is against legalization to watch it and still be against legalization.  It's available at Netflix.  2 bongs up.

[dead0man]

Just watched "Son in Law", starring Pauly Shore. Hilarious movie...I remember back in '93, my oldest sister went crazy over this movie and we watched it alot back in the 90s.

My youngest daughter has some pajamas with wide vertical stripes.  I chant "Steven Tyler PJs, Steven Tyler PJs, Steven Tyler PJs" every time she wears them.

[dead0man]

Role Models-very funny.  Better than I was expecting.

Tropical Thunder-pretty much exactly what I expected.  Funny, but not as funny as many were making it out to be last year.

[dead0man]

Constantine (well, the last half anyway)-I think I dislike Ted "Theodore" Logan more and more everytime I see him.

[dead0man]

Run Fatboy Run-David Schwimmer directed, starring Simon Pegg.  Decent for a "romantic comedy".  It's no Hot Fuzz or Shawn of the Dead of course, but good none the less.

[dead0man]

Good Will Hunting. Yeah, I know it's '09 and I'm just now seeing it.

Let me guess, it wasn't as brutally bad as you expected it to be.  Still, you won't be watching it again any time soon...if ever.  That was my experience with it.

(and I think Kevin Smith wrote the dialogue)

[dead0man]

Mean Streets, 1973 mob movie with Harvey Keitel, and Robert DeNiro. Directed by Martin Scorsese. Decent.

Really Naso? All these C-Grade movies you rave about on here and you call MEAN STREETS simply "decent?"

I was going to say this exact thing (only I was going to be a little meaner about it).  I LOVE Mean Streets.  Very under-rated...or at least rarely talked about when "great movies" are brought up and it probably should be.

[dead0man]

Knowing-horribly funny lines at times (not on purpose), some decent (not great) effects, different, if a bit goofy, plot.  2 out 10

[dead0man]

Finally saw Gran Torino...it's as good as everybody said it was.

[dead0man]

Quel maledetto treno blindato (the original Inglorious Basterds)-MUCH better than it has any right to be.  It's goofy, of course, but the acting and plot aren't as horrible as one would expect.  Lots of funny stuff in there....who knew Italians could be funny?
