Though with the vast majority, I do Cliffnotes viewing where I jump throughout the movie because most movies are too damn long and pointless and suckage and all of that.
Walk the Line: Decent. Meanders too long in some points. Hilarious that June rejecting him meant Johnny had to get wasted. I had some fun with it. The audio gets a huge thumbs down. I can't toggle in between streams. FTW. I'm not going back to the menu everytime I want to change tracks. Also, none of the songs were subtitled, sending a big middle finger to the hearing impaired. Whoever made this DVD can go fuck themselves.
Monster: I don't know why this was made. The filmmakers would've been better off making an original film. At the end, Charlize is escorted into bright, white light. So she's like a saint for killing dudes or something? It had many effed up moments, imo, and I'm not referring to the murders. Oscar-worthy? I'm not certain, I'm just wondering why the hell my aunt would buy this.
Transamerica: Felicity Huffman is a dude. Kinda. It was an all right movie. Could've been better, but at least it didn't drag too much. Dolly Parton's voice is annoying.
Raise Your Voice: Yes, I watched a Hilary Duff movie, but she's cute, over-bleached hair and all. Problems became obvious when she and her movie-brother attend a Three Days Grace concert and it looks sparser than Target on a Sunday afternoon. They practically walk right up to the stage. And then when she's in a coma, her hair is neatly flat-ironed. Nice. I can see why it tanked at the box office, it's so contrived. The poor black girl wins the scholarship? I never saw that coming. ::) Duff's character goes from uselessly latching on to one male to the next: her brother, her dad, British boy-ho, scruffy long-haired teacher who played Aidan in Sex in the City. And despite that she carries some decent notes here and there, her singing is pure ass in this movie. So she probably should've lowered her voice.
Secretary: Kinda sucked. This chick becomes secretary to a bitchy lawyer-guy and though it was interesting when they would have spanking sessions, it becomes her being so in luuuuuuuv with him that she sits in a chair for days and pees herself.
I also saw that latest Jodie Foster one, I forget what's it's called. Anyway, that also kinda stunk. The film focuses a lot on this cop character that isn't the least bit interesting, funny, necessary, anything. Sayid from LOST plays Jodie's dead boyfriend and I kept thinking while he was being beaten to death, couldn't he just wrap his legs around the duders necks and break them? And I'm sure D will like the scene where she shoots some black people.

Stop having opinions.

The Brave One?
I was thinking of downloading that. Haven't seen any of the others either.
-
The only one I saw of those was Walk the Line. I thought it dragged on too and I didn't get the ending at all.
-
Yes, the Brave One.
I think the ending was, like, he got the girl and we should be happy for him 'cause they stayed together until death. And it only took her three tries and him two. So the theme was to always try and sing in prison. And if you take plenty of drugs and spaz, the person you want will take care of you and pity you and eventually you will have them forever. FOREVER.
-
Shut up.
-
I've also only seen Walk The Line. I really enjoyed it, but I'm not deaf.
-
Shut up.
FOREVER.

I've been on a bit of an Arnold movie kick. Merla was saying how she's heard he's a jerk IRL and then we both talked about how we don't fucking care 'cause he's action movie gold. I've been keeping an eye out for a copy of "Commando" and I always find it packaged with Predator, which Merla already has. And then I saw it yesterday with Predator and True Lies (which I just bought last weekend!). Bah.
I also came across some Van Damme three-movie pack but Universal Soldier was the only movie wanted and would ever give the time of day to. Failure. That package FAILS life. I was googling pics of Van Damme the other day and came across one of him with Lorenzo "The Renegade" Lamas--
He was a cop and good at his job.
But he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops, gone bad.
Cops that tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead.
Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands.
An outlaw hunting outlaws,
A bounty hunter,
A Renegade!
--and anyway, Van Damme's short-as-hellness is evident and laughable. Ah, yes, good times.

ZOMG, this was still on my comp. Ho ho ho!

Is that really what he looks like now (sans hat/beard)? That's sad I'm not gonna let myself go no matter what office crack pot voters elect me to. Weren't there a few cases of sexual harassment on his part through the years on movie sets? I think I saw something about that on E!
-
No, that's what he looks like. The hat and beard are there. Really, I don't actually know. I got that picture from somewhere or other. I guess it could have been 'shopped or something. I'm pretty certain I've seen other pics of saggy Ah-nuld though.
-
I finally saw "Apocalypto" yesterday. Fun for the whole family.
-
With one of the most goodest endings to have ever been at the end of a movie.
-
I finally bought a copy of "Commando". Of course I'd already seen it, but there were two versions of the movie on the disc. I saw the non-theatrical one yesterday, I don't remember if that was a director's cut or what. Good times.
-
I'm watching Eragon.
It's tripe.
-
So are you.
-
I'm watching Eragon.
It's tripe.
I haven't seen it and certainly don't plan to, but I'd still say we can call this a consensus.
-
I couldn't finish it. Theres so much wrong with it I dont even know where to begin.
-
I watched Knocked Up again last night.
-
I can only see rama and shell's avs.

*bump*
TMNT: I already posted my opinion in the other thread. I liked it.
Disturbia: Terrible-ass movie. FTW. Shia's "Spike" in Transformers was the exact same character as Disturbia's "Kale"-- a rude, annoying, horny little bastard. If I see one more bad Shia movie, I'm officially dubbing him Shitty LaSuck. Which brings me to...
Surf's Up: I'll get to it later today.
-
Surf's Up wasn't half-bad. I thought it was way better than that turdling known as Happy Feet.
-
Wait....Indy 4 is a coming. He hasn't avoided that name yet.
-
I know. I think Indy 4 might decide everything were it not for a movie called Eagle Eye (also coming out next year), from the director of Disturbia. I think that's a guaranteed dud. Indy and the Crystal Skullfucks will need to achieve greatness to save Shia.
-
I just pictured Sean Connery telling Shia to stop being a faggot in that thick Scottsman accent of his, and then I roffled.
-
Except our man SC won't be in it so it loses.
-
Shia is in indy 4?
awww man.
-
Yeah...he is a hip rebel greaser like the Fonz, but not nearly as fuckable.
-
My roommate got Superbad on dvd. Dear lord, Michael Cera is HILARIOUS. Yet another reason to bring back Arrested Development!
-
Yeah he's great. Him and the fat kid should team up more and try to get a spade/farley thing going.
-
Shia is in indy 4?
awww man.
How much you wanna bet he'll be playing the same character he did in Transformers and Disturbia?
