Transformers 3: Transform with a Vengeance

It was entertaining to say the least. They tried to weave a story into it I guess. Treat it just like the others, eye candy and entertaining.

Also, new girl > Megan Fox in every way. Just sayin.

I see/own all of those myself.

The Ladykillers is underrated as hell. I love it but it doesn't really compare to most of their work.

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who knows me well, I love A Serious Man, a lot!

Tom hanks did such a bang up job in The Ladykillers! It's not their best, but I do agree that it's underrated as all get out and incredibly funny!

I can't say I know you that well, but it doesn't surprise me that anyone would love A Serious Man, it's such a great flick! I love the elements they included into it. I'm getting chills thinking about it.

One thing I'll say about Barton Fink, is that John Goodman's performance at the end is AMAZING. I'm so upset he didn't win an Oscar for that! That is one of the best performances I've ever seen, along with Billy Bob Thorton in A Simple Plan, and Peter Sellers in Being There.

Oh it's just another way for me to say "LAWL I'M JEWISH"

And yes, John Goodman does have a bit of a fiery performance at the end, doesn't he?

Black Swan

Wow, what a crazy movie. I literally had no idea what to expect about it. I thought it'd be some Ballet drama thing but no, definitely called psychological thriller for a reason. Really well done and very disturbing. Probably go as far to say its Natalie Portman's best performance.

The 40-Year Old Virgin

Oh, so much laughs. Funny flick indeed. I just damn well hope when I reach 40 that I don't relate to Steve Carell's character

Staunton Hill, a TCM clone by Cameron Romero, son of George.
Story is rather formulaic: a group of friends in 1969 on their way to DC for a rally get lost in the woods, and the guy they hitch a ride with has his car breakdown. They find a barn to sleep in, and find it is owned by a seemingly nice family, who consist of the mother (being played by the Tea Lady from Texas Chainsaw's remake), a crippled and crazed grandma, and a mentally challenged son. Suddenly all hell breaks loose, and you can guess what kind of family they are.
The acting is ok, but the direction seems quite amateurish, especially when you consider who is at the helm - you'd think Romero could assemble the film slightly better than what's on screen.
In its favor, a great musical score by Jesper Kyd, and very realistic, non-CG gore. This is violence like papa used to make, and some of it gets quite sickening, thus saving the movie from being a total waste.
Overall 5/10, I just hope his future works improve upon this.

Love all of those, except Brazil, which I haven't seen. I'll give it a watch, though!!

Also, I see you like the Coen brothers. Ever see 'Barton Fink', 'A Serious Man', or their remake of 'The Ladykillers'?

I have not seen Barton Fink yet nor have I seen A Serious Man....Ladykillers was OK, not the best Coen movie but it's still better than many other movies I have seen. Barton Fink I have not seen because I want to wait for a proper Blu-Ray release and before I had a Blu-Ray player I just always forgot to buy it, although one of my best friends always keeps telling me to finally watch it. And when it comes to A Serious Man...I'd love to see it but I want to physically own all Coen movies and that one has been too expensive on Blu-Ray so far and I try not to do DVD's anymore Just want to support the new format and I guess I'm loving the quality.

having that said, The big Lebowski and Miller's Crossing will be released on Blu-Ray next month. Time for a DVD-to-Blu-Ray upgrade

Almost like a movie, The Walking Dead. Watched 3 episodes in a row and there's 3 more to go, good stuff here considering it's tv series. Sometimes I think that good ol' zombie holocaust would be something that world really needs... Highly recommended (series that is ).

I took my family to see Transformers 3. It was mainly for the boy's sake. The movie was ok. A lot of action, but even after 3 movies, I still can't tell one transformer from another in their robot forms. Yeah, Optimus, Bumblee, and Megatron I recognize right off. Everyone else I'm like "Who is that? Transform so maybe I'll have an idea. Oh, a jet. Must be Starscream."

They've had 3 movies to develop a strong cast of characters that we might actually care about. Instead, robots are blowing up, and who really cares? We never knew them. The trilogy invested way too much time with Sam's life. It would have been a much more interesting series if we saw more from the transformers' perspectives, IMO.

Saw Transformers 3.

Way better than the 2nd one, imo. And about as good as the 1st, which I thought was decent. Some of the things I didn't like about it was that it was way too long. I go in for a screening at 1:35, when I come out it's 4:16! John Malkovich was underused. Ken Jeong's scenes were just....I don't even (I never liked him anyway). There are some smaller stuff but I won't go into detail.

I did like some of the humor in this one, tbh. I know a lot of it was stupid but a lot of it wasn't the dumb raunchy humor that the previous two had. Overall, it was enjoyable, the 2nd half was of course the highlight of the movie. Not much complaints here, you get what you come for, robot/human carnage.

Oh yeah, I definitely prefer the new girl over Megan Fox. She's more attractive and has a less bitch-y vibe.

All of you people paying money for mediocre film experiences (constraints of children I understand) are really part of the problem when it comes to modern cinema. Sigh.

I agree. It's only feeding that fire. BUT America seems content with certain cinematic turds. Like all of these 3D movies? Jeez, what a gimmick. It's almost like no one cares for quality flicks anymore. It's a shame, I really love movies.

Excuse me, but could you tell me how the weather is all the way up there?

The A-Team: Knowing nothing about the original series, I was throroughly entertained. Rampage Jackson should stick to MMA though, but Liam Neeson was his usual perfect self.

Need to work through a bit of a backlog, but I got Shrek Forever After out of the way last weekend. Has its moments, but overall the Shrek franchise has run its course I think. Decent light entertainment though.

Also watched Moon for a 2nd time. Still love how the story develops, and a great performance by pretty much just one guy, Sam Rockwell. Very good.
