Recent films. A very brief opinion.

hod Rod was pure awful

you, sir, are a ro-bot.

[Mr John]

enjoyed the hangover
stupid, mindless comedy

Exactly.

i saw Hot Rod and Inglorious Basterds yesterday. I wished I hadn't. hod Rod was pure awful and Inglorious was typical viscieral teen tripe. They both seem to have been made for the underdeveloped.

How's that bullet wound in your foot?

hot rod seems to really polarize viewers .

guys ritchies sherlock holmes was way better then i expected . i was set up to shut it off , but it was pretty good !

didnt seem like a G.R. flick except for a few parts . more like a typical hollywood blockbuster , with a lil more soul .

good "popcorn" movie .

[General Tso s Chicken]

re-watched HURT LOCKER , i don't recommend doing that .

through that process i found out about this :

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995832/

which i have been enjoying immensely .

still for me the best desert war "movie" is 3 kings , but this series seems very true to life .

very frustrating , tedious , a LOT of bullshit . i imagine its much worse for the folks who are over there , but this seems much more true to life .

For this "lollaging" to qualify, Hot Rod would have had to be a stupid mindless comedy. Instead it was a stupid mindless film. The only thing remotely funny about it was...wait there was nothing.

In the same league as

High Crusade.
Napoleon Dynamite.
Anything with Jack Black.

[Mr John]

Aah but to quantify that statement, you have to watch all of Jack Black's movies, a self-defeating purpose of exposing yourself to the things you loathe, thus negating the faculty of "having taste in films" no?


And were you slagging Napoleon Dynamite? Outside. Now.

I'm told the movie was greeted at Sundance with lots of laughter, but then Sundance audiences are concerned with being cool, and to sit through this film in depressed silence would not be cool, however urgently it might be appropriate.

a real macho guitar player friend of mine recommended this movie to me :

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470732/

interesting flick , good story , dialog , great performances . just kind of shocking that this dude turned me on to it , he is a huge moghltey kroo fan , amazing lead player too !

[Eviltoastman]

I enjoyed Ponyo. Some of the scenes were incredible, especially the Tsunami/Storm scenes.

[Grotocult]

I dug Nightwatch.
Now I am hooked on Lost.

[General Tso s Chicken]

crazy heart !!!!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1263670/

perfect movie , loved the music , also has this great "musician F's up on stage scene ever" .

way better than that johhny cash movie , that was pretty darn good !

highly recommended .

[General Tso s Chicken]

under-rated flick

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374853/

pretty cool adaptation .

if you are a fan of the guy ritchie / british crime movies this was a real pleasure .

kinda emotional , but it was nice .

[Mr John]

The Wolfman.

Mr John quick capsule review:
Nothing new to see here, move along.


Mr John extensive shitlist:
Cliche-ridden*, Tim Burton-wannabe of a film.


Humourless until Hugo Weaving turns up and channels Agent Smith to wring some sardonic lines out of the script, then wavers over using a cockney accent or not (he actually changes his accent about three times).


Del Toro does nothing endearing, is pointlessly cast, you don't care about him at all, his backstory is pointless.


Hopkins doesn't so much "phone it in" as mumble down a can on a piece of string.


Art Malik is woefully underused. Woefully.


Lesser roles go to ugly English actors that you spend the whole film going "what was he/she in again?" before they get predictably wiped out.


Director insists on pointless face close ups of incidental charactors, so you wonder "who are they? what was he in", then they die pointlessly and you wonder what the fuss was about.


ALL the scares are indentical: "where is it?" - music goes quiet - charactor turns around - "Boo!"
Massively predictable.




*However, if you're 13 and have never seen a horror film, you'd probably like it.

Not liking Hot Rod is akin to disagreeing with oxygen or plain out hating H20

Very funny doc about life on the Bunny Ranch in Nevada

Well, I finally saw "Whip It". A bit bland. Juno is in it. Juno's Dad is in it (seriously, they ripped the character. He's a simulacrum).

Nothing really happens. Everybody is happy in the end. The most hackneyed blooper reel of all time rolls over the credits. I reckon it was scripted. A scripted blooper reel. Go to hell, makers of "Whip It".
