The Movie Thread with Basketballfan22 and Zaggahamma

**basketballfan22** · 07-04-2013, 07:00 PM

Anyone want to watch R.I.P.D.? It definitely has a clever premise. There's a chance it can be pretty good.

**Zodiac82** · 07-04-2013, 07:14 PM

looks like it COULD be good but probably wont be a hit in the box office....one of those that u rent and be totally surprised by it

Pacific Rim was oooookay....the graphics and cg were actually really good....some cheesy acting and they had this music playing in the background for nearly the entire flick...other than that...a decent storyline and decent movie...id recommend it

Sux about the bb. What's wrong with ppl?
Anyway, I never recommend movies or restaurants. I'm afraid they'll hate 'em.
With that said...
The Heat-two hours of that chic's schtick gets on my nerves.
Despicable Me-laughed a lot. Loved it.
Lone Ranger-entertaining, but silly.
MU-liked monsters inc. Bored to death with this one

Grown ups 2 was good. Not what was hyped up to be. Kinda goes back to adam Sandlers old movies. Kinda stupid comedy. Did laugh out loud at few points and others were just too stupid. Loved the shaq appearances though. Dispicable me 2 was really good. Worth the hype.

**kelkel** · 07-15-2013, 08:08 PM

Anyone see the new Star Trek? If so, how was it? I loved the first "new" one.

**zaggahamma** · 07-15-2013, 08:10 PM

forgot i missed that one...didnt see it in the theaters either...heard it was good...not much of a trekky but the movie looked good and heard it was

**Rusty11** · 07-15-2013, 08:23 PM

It's not "trekky", so to speak. Just a good action-packed movie. I liked it.

**kelkel** · 07-15-2013, 08:25 PM

I thought the first new one was the best one ever and I'm no trekky either. Not even close. Just great how they developed the characters....

**zaggahamma** · 07-15-2013, 09:55 PM

yeh thats how it appeared in the previews and i think thats why i considered it

i'm sure more will chime in to rate it

**basketballfan22** · 07-18-2013, 07:05 PM

Well I watched Despicable Me 2 with my nephew, and it was pretty cute. Horror movies tend to suck nowadays, but The Conjuring has gotten pretty good reviews; unfortunately the same can not be said about R.I.P.D.

The newest Star Trek was good but not an original idea. It brings back the character Khan from the old wrath of khan movie. I liked it but want to see some new ideas from Star Trek series. RIPD looks like a rip off on MIB. Only watched the trailers but that was my impression.

**Zodiac82** · 07-21-2013, 09:27 AM

saw The Conjuring lastnight....its definitely a creepy ass movie...while I wouldn't call it a horror movie.. definitely frightening and a little disturbing..

good acting..even from the kids in the movie

movie probably would've been better if the dumb fvck behind us would've shut the hell up...

go see it

My son wanted to see White House Down yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised. It was better than I thought and very entertaining.

**Venom** · 07-21-2013, 09:40 AM

I'd have to say my all time favorite movie is Anchorman. I can't wait for the second one to come out!

i remember posting in this thread or a similar thread the weirdness of both those movies coming out in such a short period of time

**Zodiac82** · 07-21-2013, 09:47 AM

must've been competing studios

I was just going to ask you about your thoughts on it. Apparently, it has very little gore and cursing. It is more of a psychological thriller. Is that a correct assessment?

Hmm, I thought it looks pretty stupid; and it didn't get the best reviews either. I may give it a shot eventually.

If you had better grammar, I would have understood your post and replied back to your subtle shot at me. It doesn't surprise me that a golf and Patriots fan (among other teams) would have poor grammar though.

yep...very true...hardly any gore..maybe one or two scenes and I dont remember any cursing.. if any it was very mild..

it was definitely more of a movie that relied in intense build ups and letting u anticipate what u thought was gonna happen

Saw Pacific Rim and WWZ.
Pacific Rim was an ok movie BUT if you like old Godzilla type movies, little cheezy humor, and fast paced action you'll really like it, come on it's aliens and robots, thats awesome lol $11 for 3D, I wouild have paid $7.50 and been ok with it.

WWZ, Good movie, a few things I wasnt real thrilled about was they spent way to much time on "the family aspect" it was a little to "messagey" for me I like to be entertained, Im not there so you can say "cant we all get along" or "save the planent" (Avatar, which was a great movie). But besides that it was pretty cool, set up for another one, we'll see. I paid $9, would have paid $7 and been cool with it.

**Zodiac82** · 07-21-2013, 03:51 PM

just watched Pitch Perfect <~~ (anyone feel free to edit that with a more manly movie lol) it was pretty good...musical type , with good humor and sexual innuendoes ..Ive always liked musical type movies...

Little Shop of Horrors anyone?

I watched 42, and it was definitely a good movie. You should know what to expect from such a movie; so if that sounds good to you, then you should definitely give it a shot.

God I HATE musicals! Little Shop of Horrors was pretty funny though. I never watched the original with Jack Nicholson. I was surprised that the one I watched wasn't the original.

My initial impression as well. Some big holes in the plot but as stated, surprisingly entertaining.

**Tnatious** · 07-21-2013, 09:44 PM

2 WORDS:

"EVIL DEAD" the new one! The all time best horror film BY FAR

**lstbred** · 07-21-2013, 11:04 PM

^^ I love the original! It played a part in naming my daughter lol

Well I watched The Conjuring last night, and I definitely enjoyed it. Horror movies usually suck, but this one was pretty good. While there were a few things I could have done without, the movie as a whole was well done.

Haven't seen it yet but it looks creepy as hell..,

**Xzandr** · 08-05-2013, 11:35 PM

The Wolverine was good and worth watching.
Turbo was funny worth it for the kids (like me, I've loved cartoons for all of my 34 years)
The Colony decent but a little dry, open ended.
Grown Ups 2 great for an Adam Sandler movie
Lone Ranger was good worth watching.
World War Z was OK by me.
Oblivion was really good, a bit twisted.
The Internship was funny as Vaughn and Wilson combo works well.
After Earth was a bit boring but it was nice to see Will and Jaden working together, his son is not a bad actor for a newbie.
Now You See Me was entertaining and worth watching.
Fast & Furious 6 was the same as the others, the first one was the best IMO.
Iron Man 3 was definately good for superhero movies.
Man Of Steel was really good, not what I expected. Sort of a new twist on the Superman movies.

Yeah, I am a movie phanatic, I have seen thousands of movies over the last 24 years in the U.S. (at least 15,000+ or more not counting all the TV series, dicumentaries, biographies, educational, and foreign) and yes I also have time to read (mostly Psychology but that's neither here nor there). No Joke.

If you want to know if a movie was good, just ask. I usually get to see them on the release date or even months before release. Saw a couple more than a year before release.

Some good ones to see and some of my favorites:
The Skin I Live In- Antonio Banderas plays a twisted doctor, not his typical role.
Fight Club - Brad Pitt and Edward Norton - if you haven't seen it (in the words of Jeff Foxworthy) "you may just be a redneck". (no offense to anyone)
K-Pax with Kevin Spacey
The Matrix Trilogy with Keanu Reeves
Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas - Johny Depp and Benicio DelToro
Catch Me If You Can - with Leonardo DiCaprio
Iron Man 3 - with Robert Downey Jr.
Snatch - with Jason Statham and Brad Pitt. Pretty much anything with Jason Statham I find to be a good action movie.
Platoon - with Charlie Sheen and Tom Barringer. Old and classic war. Probably one of the best.

Too tired to write anymore.
Anyone have any good suggestions on something i may NOT have seen already?
