Anyone seen a good movie lately?

[phattymatty]

i'm going to see Juno today.

[reese125]

Im perfectly aware of what Juno was supposed to be...a comedy drama. When you see a movie that is hyped up with 4 stars written all over it, A-'s A+'s....you expect a solid movie that keeps you "entertained" throughout.

I wasnt expecting to be punching my wife in the arm with laughter, but it has to and should at least live up to the hype.

Something tells me that subtle humor isn't reese's cup of tea...

stop yourself

Go see both then Carlin

[ice grillin you]

you dont have to like it...but you indicated you didnt like it cause you thought it was a comedy...turning to your"partner" and asking if this is a comedy?

sounds like you went in with all the wrong expectations about what you were seeing

Oh yeah, I also watched The Simpsons Movie yesterday. I laughed a lot at the beginning, then not as much in the middle, then some more towards the end. It was basically a little better than your average Simpsons episode. I'll rewatch it definitely.

This reminds me of other holiday movies watched:

"Simpsons Movie" - I somewhat agree with rjs, except for the fact it seemed to be slightly worse than an average Simpsons episode.  Then again, I haven't been watching new episodes for 2 or 3 years at this point, and the show has been steadily declining... so my basis of comparison is higher.  C- out of 5.

"Live Free or Die Hard" - Ridiculously formulaic to the point that it almost ruined the original for me.  But it didn't, because the original still kicks ass.  Mary Elizabeth Winstead is kind of hot.  Maggie Q is hotter.  While the action was over-the-top, I still couldn't help but enjoy the movie.  3/5.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" - I really enjoyed the first one and felt cheated by the 2nd one.  The third was somewhere in between but was a fitting close for the series.  While it runs over 2 1/2 hours, it kept my attention the whole time and was good fun.  Geoffrey Rush is the shtein and actually stole scenes every bit as much as Depp.  Also 3/5.

no, not all. if you look at some of the characters in the movie, who play in comedies--you might think there would of been a bit more laughter for the ratings. And yes, its characterized as a comedy, so I expect laughter--a bit more because of the ratings it got. I wasnt looking for a Something About Mary or Knocked Up type comedy.

Beatin a dead horse here. Go see the flick. Im not here to divert your attempt.

Walk Hard-- found myself dozing off a couple of times with waking up to some good laughs. There are some nice liners in this movie that will have you think its worth seeing, but then they stretch it big time. I could of done without

I saw the preview of this, and immediately I thought it would be one of the dumbest movies ever made. Chopped your brother in half? And that's a big part of the movie? F.

[rjs246]

I agree with Dillen. The previews look absolutely farging unbearable but everyone seems to think that it's hysterical, so maybe I'm just missing something.

your not kid....hence my reason for falling asleep....

Sweeney Todd- actually kind of awesome. the whole singing thing gets annoying, but visually its ridiculous. also the girl who plays johnny depps daughter has glorious cans. shes supposed to be 15 in the movie, but shes 20 in real life. so look and enjoy, gents.

[Diomedes]

to hijack a famous quote about greatest hits albums,

musicals are for house wives and little girls

[MadMarchHare]

So....which is MDS?

[rjs246]

I'm excited about Sweeney Todd. So there's that.

depp cuts a bunch of people necks, so its really bloody. that evens out the gayness of singing.
