Anyone seen a good movie lately?

I'd also like to point out that this movie was racist because Jazz, who has always been the token black guy, dies. 

3.5/5

Finally saw Transformers yesterday.  Pretty damn good movie.  Like everyone else pretty much said, top-notch SFX and action... funny and all that.

4/5


My only gripe in the movie...



AND THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED SOMEWHAT OF A SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN IT

Just like in any other movie where the token black man dies... why the farg does the token black robot (Jazz) have to be the ONLY Autobot to die?!?!?!

ha!  Never even saw that.

bug was alright. it was marketed as a horror movie which it really is not. i hate when they do that cause you go in expecting a horror plot but its more of a study on the human mind, loneliness, and desperation.

you might do better to read reviews of movies as opposed to the trailers or commercials....just sayin

Went and saw Heartbreak Kid with a lady friend last night.  It was meh.  Had some really funny parts in it and was on the verge of being hilarious overall but just couldn't quite get there.........kind of like having a bad case of whiskey dick only less fun.  Got laid though so I guess it was worth the price of admission.  But unless you're guaranteed to get some poonahney afterwards, I'd wait until it comes out on dvd to watch it.  And even then, don't rent it yourself.  Wait until someone else gets it and invite yourself over.  Better yet, invite the person with the dvd over to your place so you don't even have to spend the gas money.  And make them bring snacks too.   And then kill them.

2/5

You could have just told us you got laid last night in the random musings thread and saved us all alot of trouble.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Got laid though

2/5

That's probably much more than her rating of your performance in the sack.

[Sgt PSN]

Who cares what she thinks? 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I concede this round, kind sir.  Well played.

Watched Blood Diamond finally yesterday;

3/5

Sometimes I hate DiCaprio, other times he turns in a good showing. I thought this movie was pretty good.

[Drunkmasterflex]

I actually just watched that for the first time today, it was alright.  Not all it was cracked up to be.  I have to say old Leo isn't as bad as he used to be.

i've heard a lot of people say this.  i never saw titanic, but i can't really remember when dicaprio was ever a bad actor, growing pains aside.

The DiCaprio of "Titanic" was average.  His recent stuff ("Aviator", "Departed", "Blood Diamond") has been stellar.  There really is a huge difference and he really has gotten better.

[ice grillin you]

he really hasnt been in that many movies....departed is the only movie i can ever remember him being good and he was great...

everything else has ranged from embarrassment (gangs of ny, the beach, titantic) to overrated (gilbert grape, basketball diaries)

never saw the avaitor


edit - add blood diamond as his most overrated role...his performance was average brought way below that because of the disgraceful accent (or lack of accent)

[Sgt PSN]

Anyone ever seen "Catch Me If You Can"?  It had DiCaprio and I think Tom Hanks in it.  It looked really good and was probably the first movie with DiCaprio in it that looked good to me.  Still haven't gotten around to watching it though.

never saw the avaitor

Stephen Hunter review of "The Aviator"

In Leonardo DiCaprio, Scorsese has found a perfect vessel to express Hughes's abundant contradictions. His hair slicked back, sporting one of those '40s-style flyboy mustaches, DiCaprio looks enough like Hughes to pass the inevitable memory checks (something that destroys Kevin Spacey's upcoming spin as a lanky, blond 45-year-old Bobby Darin!). But it's more than a trick of appearance, it's also quite an astonishing performance: DiCaprio fills him with life. His Hughes is down-home Texas (the accent appears to be modeled on George W. Bush's) and he has a whip-crack mind for engineering. In fact, to him, everything is an engineering problem, from the heft of Jane Russell's breasts, which had to be contained in a specially designed fabric application for "The Outlaw," to the planes he flew at the edge of (and sometime beyond) controllability, to the political maneuverings in his fight, as owner of TWA, with Pan American for control of the nation's overseas air routes.
