Soxy Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hilarious: The cretins rule in “Alpha Dog,” which has much the same entertainment value you get from watching monkeys fling scat at one another in a zoo or reading the latest issue of Star magazine.

longshot7 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 QUOTE(knightni @ Jan 10, 2007 -> 11:37 PM) "Pan's Labryinth" should have been edited to PG-13. I saw the review said "R", and thought to myself that basically it will be the film's kiss of death in the box office. I mean, why have a "fairy tale" rated R? It's not rare or weird in Europe. That's the film's primary audience, not here. and any top 10 list without Borat lacks credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I saw United 93 a few days ago, it was good...........but I really don't think I needed to see a movie about that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) I still think the domino scene from V for Vendetta is one of the best in cinematic history. Such a powerful movie. Edited January 14, 2007 by SoxFan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Saw "A night at the Mueseum" over the weekend. I liked it better than I thought I would. It was a little predictable and cheesey at parts, but still a nice rental IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Alpha Dog was awful.The worst scene was laughable,Sharon Stone in a fat suit trying to act like she lost her mind.Just about a bunch of teens smoking weed and dropping F bombs.If it wasnt a true story and a tragedy it goes straight to DVD.

I refuse to see the remake out of respect for the original, 'The Hitcher' is one of the first movies of its kind that I ever saw. The seen at the end with the semis was just insane, I probably shouldn't have seen it as an 8 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
