Bure1994Mclean Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 8/10 - Frozen. Might've been a bit overkill on the musicals but it was entertaining and sustained my attention throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Evil Dead (2013) - 8.5/10 Forget what I gave it a few years ago, but I still love it. Wouldn't have worked if the remake would have tried to take a tongue in cheek approach like the originals. As a straight up horror film, so good and ridiculously bloody. Terrific.

Monty Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The Visit - 4/10 Light years better then anything M. Night Shyamalan has done in a very, very long time. But still pretty lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Dope: 6.5/10 What started off really, really strong, was totally overcooked with the last hour. Movie just gets way, way too big. Very strange that a movie about a "90s hip hop geek" would utilize such cheesy, garbage contemporary music for its emotional scenes, but hey. Dope 3/10 I'll break down all my least favourite parts. -Protagonist comes from a single mother who is a bus driver, yet has very nice clothes, bike, skateboard and if I remember correctly had a record player in his room. -When the protagonist made a Mumford and sons joke when is so called "punk" band plays the same indie garbage. -Protagonist claimed he was a 90s hiphop geek because he listen to nas -Called "summertime" a classic. It wasn't. -Had a really lame joke where a white guy kept trying to say the n-word in a cool way. It just came off as obnoxious. -Very childish montage of them selling drugs. The movie came off like it was made for 14 year olds. MY LEAST FAVOURITE PART: -The whole ending. ESPECIALLY, when he wrote the letter to Harvard saying why he didn't want to go there and at the end asked "If I was white would you even have to ask that?", That's annoying for several reasons: 1.Not only white people go to Harvard. There is a fair amount of African Americans. 2.The whole movie had NOTHING to do with race. 3.The essay seemed like it was written by a 15 year old. (Like the script for this movie) Edited October 16, 2015 by hatedkid666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have worked if the remake would have tried to take a tongue in cheek approach like the originals. As a straight up horror film, so good and ridiculously bloody. Terrific. I saw the original in a drive in many years ago. The best cult classics I saw was Robocop. I laughed so hard I think I puked up a lung. Now that was a super funny movie with some memorable lines: "Can you fly Bobby?" Or, "Give the man a hand." Too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 All Is Lost. Robert Redford is in trouble in a small sail boat in the middle of the ocean after an accident. One word of dialogue in the whole film. My kinda movie premise and I've done a fair amount of sailing, so biased here. 8/10. I liked that too.

Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers are so incredibly cheesy. Starship Troopers especially is one of my all time favourites. "Good for you, son!

I loved that one too. Seeing movies like that in the theatre are sometimes embarrassing. Most people don't get the humor, so I find I'm laughing alone.

The Bookie Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) watched both Dawn of the Dead movies back to back (both based around the concept of waiting out a zombie apocalypse in a shopping mall - general themes of mindless human consumerism etc.) 2004 - 9/10 Re-watched for first time in ~5yrs, but had seen it a few times before. It's probably my favorite zombie movie, aside from Pontypool if it counts. Unusually well-made for the genre. Flashy without being too flashy - know when to flex the cinematic muscles. All-round a perfectly entertaining horror movie, interesting characters, walking the line with dips into comedy and action. More of a reimagining than a remake. 1978 - 7/10 Somehow I never watched it. It's.... interesting, and kind of deranged. Doesn't even try to be scary, except for some unsettling music. Seems like it would have been a ton of fun during filming. Edited October 16, 2015 by The Bookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 the peak of burt reynolds' career is in a movie where he watches his friend get bum ravaged by a hillbilly anyway, after Monty's review I'm going to give Evil Dead (remake) another watch tonight. I really enjoyed it the first time. hope it holds up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed it the first time. hope it holds up! I enjoyed it the first time around, but loved it this second time around. First time I squirmed quite a bit; but knowing some of what was coming made it a little easier to watch and I could just soak it all in. One thing that really held up from the first viewing was the last 20 minutes when it started raining blood. While I loved it throughout, the ends does not disappoint. ---------------- And as far as any other Burt Reynolds movie other than Deliverance, The Cannonball Run is phenomenal. And, although not a true Burt Reynolds film, he's great in Boogie Nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the other characters that made that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 lol, lots of people don't like it. it's definitely "my thing" though I saw it recently. Yeah I very much like it.
