the division of joy Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 A lot better than I thought it would be. Jason Segel steals it something fierce. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Burlesque looked like Showgirls only without nudity and not aware of how ridiculous it is. Is that what it turned out to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Charlie Day & Aniston steal the movie.Jamie Foxx also has a decent cameo. Spacey is just chewing scenery, really makes me want to see him in Swimming w/ Sharks. I'd give the film a grade of a solid B. A lot better than I thought it would be. Jason Segel steals it something fierce. 7/10 I'm hearing mixed things on BAD TEACHER, DoJ. I'm still debating on whether to do this as a matinee or a rental though. I figured Segel would steal the show from the trailers I saw. I'm looking fwd to seeing what he'll do w/ the upcoming Muppets movie.

Jables Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Because we collectively forgot how terrible this movie is. It should be put in a timecapsule for the entire X-treem douchebag culture(such as it is) alongside an early-90's Pepsi Max commercial.

Thelogan Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Just finished watching Bully for probably the 4th or 5th time over the years. That movie is such a glorious parade of retards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Oh hey, Logan, that reminds me. Teenage Caveman wasn't half-bad: it's basically just KIDS + body horror + the apocalypse but I was entertained throughout. It was most certainly a Larry Clark movie.

Rexorcist Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Super 8 It's always thrilling when a filmmaker emerges - to see the movie that truly marks his arrival as someone to watch and pay attention to because he not only has something to say but he knows how to say it. So it is with J.J. Abrams and Super 8, a great leap forward for someone who already has proven himself as a formidable TV auteur, capable of making the leap to movies by shaking up old franchises with a new vision. But Super 8 is something else again: the arrival of a director who's made a movie with the confidence and sensitivity to remind you of the first time you saw E.T. It's a movie that will put you on the edge of your seat, even as it puts a lump in your throat. What distinguishes Abrams’ film – and allows it to be mentioned in the same breath with “E.T.” – is that he keeps the focus on these kids: on the complex feelings they have that frighten and confuse them, on their multi-layer relationship with parents and other adults, on their resourcefulness despite their seeming powerlessness. Adults underestimate and otherwise dismiss them, though the kids finally are the ones with the crucial details at their command. Abrams has made a movie about that transition from kid to adult, when youngsters realize that life is not like a movie or a TV show, that bad things do happen from which their parents can’t protect them (or each other). It’s about the dawning of a sense of self-sufficiency, even as you learn to value connections you have taken for granted previously. “Super 8” is a stunner, a movie that sucks you in from the start and spits you out the other end with a sense of wonder to go with the tears in your eyes. It’s what a great summer movie should be – indeed, what a great movie should be anytime. It’s hard to imagine a better movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hightower Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Great cast, but would of been a dud without Charlie Day. Charlie makes that movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Aw man, who -1'd the new guy's review? And I'm so ridiculously excited for Horrible Bosses, another movie I have to wait til next month for. Last movie I watched in completion was Shrek 2. I can see now, revisiting 1 & 2 together where folks come from accusing 2 of being a letdown(still fun, but the drop in quality disheartened me from continuing with the quadrology as planned).

Yeah, um, unless your real name is Marshall Fine, it's not cool copy-n-pasting reviews and trying to pass 'em off as your own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
