Anyone seen a good movie lately?

[Eagles_Legendz]

So am I.  I even liked Troy.

That being said, I can't really say anything positive about Clash.  The acting was beyond bad across the board, there was no story, no characters, it was anti-climatic, and the fight scenes weren't even that fun.  I was prepared to shut off my brain and just enjoy it for what it was, but I found it difficult to do that.  Some of the visuals were cool.

Trailer Park Boys Movie - never gets old. one of the most original and funny shows ever made. movie was just as good as series 

[Seabiscuit36]

Trailer Park boys is hilarious, the newest movie was very good.

Bruno was awful.  He tries so hard to make it like Borat, but it's just not as funny.  Watching the hicks show up to "Straight Dave's" MMA competition and their reaction to the homo makeout session was about as good as the movie got.  Also, the Ron Paul part was mildly amusing.  But end-to-end, it was simply much more crude in unfunny ways than funny ones.

0.5/5

Tenure: Luke Wilson plays the cool\aloof professor at some small potatoes college and is up for tenure.  David Koechner plays his friend, also a professor at said college, who just got  denied tenure and his hobbies include buying drugs from his students and stalking Gretchen Mol.  Mol plays the new (hot) professor who is in Wilsons department, and a perceived threat to his ability to get tenure.  That's pretty much all that happens in this slow moving comedy.  Only a few real laughs, almost exclusively with Luke's interaction with Robin (Hilary Pingle), the girl from the PBS telethon.  
Not terrible, but I wouldn't go around the office recommending it either (2.5-3/5)


Tenderness: Ok, I love movies where the protagonist is a deviant.  If the story follows a drug addict\psychopath\etc, I'm in.  In this movie we have Eric Poole (Jon Foster), a teenager sentenced to two years in a juvenile correctional facility for murdering his mother and father (a preacher), and was suspected for the killing of another girl that was found in a river, but never convicted.  Because prescribed antidepressants were to blame, he was to be released on his 18th birthday with a clean record.  Lori (Sophie Traub) is a 16 year old girl who is infatuated with Eric, probably because of a few of her mothers boyfriends gripped her like a bowling ball.  The movie progresses, slowly, with Russel Crowe, a semi retired cop, following around Eric, since he suspects Eric is sick and will kill again.  Nothing happens, nothing happens, nothing happens, tense scene at a rest stop, nothing happens, nothing happens, tense scene in the woods, nothing happens, nothing happens, tense scene at an amusement park, nothing happens, twist ending.

If they did more with the story, I'd recommend it, but its a bit too slow for most peoples tastes.

3.5/5


Drawn Together The movie: Shut up, I liked the cartoon series.  Don't judge me.  (Movie wasn't very good anyway 1/5)

Huh. I honestly had no idea that was out already.

[Rome]

welcome to the universe where you never know if dio is complimenting you or trashing you.

[paco]

I just assumed trashing me.  Its the safe bet here.

[Rome]

He hate me.

I just assumed trashing me.

You are mistaken.

The Box.  Wasn't expecting much, and it didn't disappoint.  Patently ridiculous.

I'm trying to watch the original The Crazies and it is awful. I mean, all of Romero's movies are awful (other than Dawn of the Dead, which is surprisingly good) but most have a certain charm that is undeniable and that I usually enjoy quite a bit. This has no charm. No heart. Add that to the worst production quality I've ever seen, awful acting, awful writing and a meandering plot and you've got one terrible movie.

[Seabiscuit36]

Im wondering what the new was is like, most reviews for that and daybreakers are pretty high.
