Recent films. A very brief opinion.

[Mr John]

Kick Ass - Good for the first 30 minutes or so then just went to shit.

I disagree, I liked it all the way through. Good little action film a la "Shoot 'em up". Hollywood is going through a "let's make Ironic Action Movies!" phase right now, without actually garnering an understanding of what irony is.


Saw the Bill Hicks documentary. It's not great. Boring for non fans (apart from his live clips, which are ALL taken from his DVDs) and known stuff for any of his dedicated bio-reading fans.

'book of eli' is a perfect airplane movie, great to look at and who cares what anyone's saying
when the fuck is mila kunis going to have a nude scene?

[Roark]

Saw "A Single Man" on the weekend. Visually amazing. Every frame was a work of art. Loved the character. Best movie I've seen all year.

[Mr John]

Sorry to lower the tone (which, granted, is something I do consistently ), but is "hot tub time machine" actually any good?

I've heard good things and am sceptical.

Your answer should consider my hatred of Adam Sandler, "... Movie" series, most of Ben Stiller's and Mike Myers work and little interest in "The Hangover".

[The Rambam]

Sandler's not in Hot Tub Time Machine. Or Stiller or Myers.

[ReverseEngineer]

but Rob Corddry is. Reason enough to see it.

[Grotocult]

Micmacs is awesome

[Dress Barn]

The "You Don't Know Jack" biopic on Kevorkian was below so-so
It reminded me of HBO's "John Addams" where you were okay with watching it because at least you're learning something
Pacinco opted to not sound like his character whatsoever and instead played himself again

[Mr John]

Sandler's not in Hot Tub Time Machine. Or Stiller or Myers.

Yeah, I know that - but is it any good?

Just watched the Wanda Sykes stand up "Ima Be Me" on HBO On Demand and it was the hardest I've ever laughed from a comedy act. There was a least 20 awesome bits in there.

[General Tso s Chicken]

got that yesterday on your rec .

[Dress Barn]

did you like it?

[General Tso s Chicken]

sure , we were crackin up a lot , my wife enjoyed it as well .

thanks . i wouldnt have noticed that , i was aware of the fact her stand up is good , for some reason though . did you see her gig at the white house ? its on youtube , and she used most of the jokes in her special as well , but i had checked that out the other day .

kinda behind the times when it comes to stand up .

the guy with the puppets is great though .

after seeing all the bill hicks stuff , not much compares though . he was great !

[Dress Barn]

I never saw her at the white house- that sucks that she repeats the same material. It's not like a concert where you're pissed off if the band doesn't play your favorite song.

It's more like that girlfriend who repeats the same story over and over

[Grotocult]

Splice: garbage.

[BABY SHAKER]

grey gardens.
alfred was right.
I didn't know if I should laugh, cry, or scratch my head.
I did all 3, but mostly the laugh part.
and the appreciate part.

[Dress Barn]

grey gardens.
alfred was right.

That's one for Petey and one for hepatitis candelabra


I can't express enough how much everybody should Netfix this 70's documentary ASAP

[Dress Barn]

Liked the first five minutes of Youth.

i showed my daughters 30 seconds of youtube clips from that flick .

they returned in costume (in around 2 minutes) .
, reenacting around half the dialog from the film fairly accurately .

deet was the old lady , queeg was the kook .

that was awesome .

[Roark]

Legion was ridiculous. No internal logic. None of it made sense.

- Why did they climb that hill at the end?
- Why were the angels so foul-mouthed, if they were supposedly doing the work of God?
- Why was the kid so important to humankind? A John Connor type figure? If so, how was he even necessary when God changed His mind about exterminating humankind?
- Who were the prophets?
- Why did the protagonist magically get imprinted with Michael's tatts when he died?

Worst movie I've seen all (financial) year.

[Dress Barn]

Absolutely blown away by "The Road"
It's the greatest zombie movie ever made
Feel good movie of the summer

[Mr John]

Keep your recommendations coming folks, Hot Rod was great.
Very enjoyable silly movie. Thanks!

[The Rambam]

I lose my shit when he angry-dances in the forest.

[Mr John]

Aye, then that fall down the hill.
Great.

[ReverseEngineer]

I love the dud fireworks they find.
