saw Hostel last night finally. it was ok. for nudity sake...

/5

for gore sake

/5 – i was actually expecting it to be a little gorier. there was more plot than i thought there would be. which for a movie like this, is actually a detriment to it. the eye thing was nausiating though.

overall

.25 / 5 when rating it against its own genre. (more of a 2/5 when rating it overall)

I tried watching Hostel last week. I turned it off after 15 minutes.

thats because youre gay. a movie with that much nudity and you dont even fast foward to those parts?

Very clever, collar popper. In fact there was nudity in the first 15 minutes of the movie. There was also boring actors and a man's ass with eyes drawn on them. There was no plot and the naked women were simply not hot enough make this movie not suck.

MDS may be catching up to Der Kommissar for most likely to be banned.

since you only had 15 minutes of it...i can say there were some very hot girl nudity near the middle of it.

if you went into the movie looking for plot...you expect too much. if you're looking for tits and torture...then you were pleased.

Watched Glory Road last night, and wasn't disappointed. A true story about Don Haskins (who makes a cameo appearance in the movie as the gas station attendant), the coach who started 5 black basketball players in the NCAA Championship game in 1966.

No nudity of women (sorry, Sarge), or of the guys in the locker room (sorry, hbionic). No violence. Just a good story about a great event, and how it affected the players, the coaches, and the families of each.

I say 4 out of 5 for the sports movie fan.

I just watched Glory Road the other night too, I'm a huge sucker for sports movies, and I just thought it was OK.

For such an important story in sports history, I thought it came out pretty corny and very uninspired. I never really believed that any of the guys were going through a tough time. And the main guy playing Haskins wasn't a very good actor at all.

And I don't think there was a single curseword in the movie. Not that there needs to be unnecessary profanity, but I think it would have been a bit more realistic. It probably would have been much better, more powerful even, had it not been a Disney movie.

It's worth a watch for a sports fan but overall it was nothing special and should have been better.

I like dthe story of it, and I boughtthe coach as an actor. I will say though that my favorite part was during the credits, when they were interviewingthe actual people and showing the actual clips from the game. I thought that was pretty powerful stuff.

Took the kids to see cars this weekend. The animation was something else. Even though the plot was somewhat predictable they did it so well I still enjoyed it.

I saw a television movie on Discovery Channel this afternoon called "Supervolcano."

Pretty standard stuff, actually. D-list nobodies acting petrified in a disaster scenario.

There was a middle-aged blonde chick in it who played the assistant homeland security something or other who was pretty hot. For that reason and that reason alone, I give it...

out of five.

Saw Daddy Day Care last night. It was very funny in that family-friendly kind of way, so RJS would probably hate it.

My wife and I laughed our butts off at several points in the movie.

I believe that we're going to take our son to see Cars soon. Hear good things about it.

I can't wait to see this movie... umm, yeah, with the kids I mean..

Took the ladyfriend to see The Breakup this weekend. She seemed to like it. I thought it was pretty bad. Watchable, and occasionally funny, but not even close to being worth the price of admission. Plus it wasn't even a good date movie since the entire movie is them fighting and bitching and moaning.

To make matters worse, there are two Vince Vaughn lines that are recycled from other, much funnier, movies.
"Get arrested for what? Being awesome?" Originally from Old School.
"Get hopped up and make some bad decisions." Originally from Wedding Crashers.

It was almost like they were trying to toss these lines in to say "Hey, see, this movie is like those movies. You should laugh now." It was weak sauce.

Overall I guess I'll give it s 2.5/5. Wasn't terrible, but wasn't a good use of time either.
