god himself could post in this thread saying the guardian is a good movie and i wouldnt believe it

2nd - Plus, I called the ending as soon as I saw the preview for the first time, and I was right. That's just awful.

It's hard to take movie advice from someone who liked the Marine and the Guardian. Sorry Blue, you're still my favorite Giants fan.

Yep. I'm getting hard-pressed to find anyone with a kinder scale to crappy movies than Bluey.

Rotten Tomatoes compiled it's list of best and worst movies of 2006:

moonlight mile was pretty enjoyable with excellent performances as you would expect with that cast...even the ho from greys anatomy was good...i really dont have a single bad thing to say about it but for whatever reason the whole was not as good as the sum of its parts

6.5/10

Saw Lady in the Water last night. For the first 45 minutes I thought that it wouldn't be as bad as everyone said it was. From that point on it got more and more adsurd and completely spiraled out of control. It was so ridiculous that Shyamalan actually had to have his characters explain every little thing that was happening and it STILL didn't make any sense.

Dude needs to take a few years off and regroup.

I'm just glad that the rumors of him getting to make "Life of Pi" into a movie are turning out to be false. Then again, I wonder if he'd be better off directing someone else's writing - because his is getting ridiculous.

EDIT: I just looked at his IMDB page, and he's actually from Pondicherry, the same part of India Pi Patel hails from in the book. Useless fact, but still interested me more than the entire movie "Lady in the Water".

I root for him because he's a Philly guy, but his movies have gotten progressively worse, with "Lady in the Water" being a new low.

Watched a movie on IFC last night called The Funeral, it starred Walken, Chris Penn, Del Torro, and Vincent Gallo.

the first 45 minutes were a total bore, and i almost bailed on the movie, but the last 45 minutes made up for it, for the most part. overall it was a decent movie, with a good ending.

it came out in 1996, so this was when Walken was still great, and he was again in this movie.

Also, it was when Chris Penn was still alive.

whoop there it is

Fearless - 3.5/5

LMAO.

I didn't say either was phenomenal or Oscar worthy. Just liked them more than I thought I would. And as far as The Guardian is concerned, I have a tendency to like any movie that involves the perspective of any branch of our military or PD/FD/USCG, etc... about people who have the balls to do the things the majority of us don't and take for granted.

Sheesh... I like the powerful, artsy-fartsy, "this movie means something" movies, too... but, sometimes I just like to watch shtein blow up.

Well put.

Just watched House and House II.

Fun and stupid.

I just got "Stay" from BB online. It's one of the few movies sent to us of late that I actually have interest in watching.

Flags of our Fathers- 3/5

I'm not sure if this belongs in the Iran thread...but since it's a movie, I'll put it here.

I watched the 60-minute "pre-release" version of "Obsession, the Movie" (http://www.obsessionthemovie.com) last night. Pretty chilling stuff.

I'd go to that movie, except now that I've watched the trailer, I've already seen it.
