santo=dorf Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 There Will Be Blood was outstanding. I know their rating system isn't scientific, but IMDB actually lists TWBB higher than No Country for Old Men -- the best picture of last year. I've been waiting for someone to say they've abandoned something just so I can yell "I'VE ABANDONED MY CHILD!!!!!!!! I'VE ABANDONED MY CHILD!!! I'VE ABANDONED MY BOY!!!" IMDB is just based on the public opinion and they have some funny system in place to prevent downvoting or upvoting. Metacritic weighs the critic's opinions more than Rottentomatoes.

KipWellsFan Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I guess I'm a little nuts but I always enjoy M.Night films and The Happening wasn't any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is by far the worse and just an utterly terrible movie. Disagreed. And agree with Santo on The Punisher, I liked that movie a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sorry but, outside of the Sixth Sense, his movies are crap. Even Unbreakable and Signs suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Unbreakable and Signs suck. See, for some reason I loved Signs when I saw it in theatres on opening weekend. Didn't like The Happening anywhere near as much, but I still enjoyed it. I think one of the reasons I wasn't so annoyed by the movie was that I was never convinced that it actually was the plants that were killing the people. Seems that most people that saw the movie thought this idea was stupid. So did I to an extent. I couldn't believe the goofy greenhouse owner could have been the first character to get it right. But since I was never convinced that was actually what was doing it I wasn't so put-off. I thought it was also interesting that the news guy at the end said most people thought it was the government, not plants. Of course then it happens in France... The acting was also strange, particularly Mark Wahlberg's, but the characters themselves were unconventional. Like what was Wahlberg's character supposed to be? A Science nerd, a comedian, alpha male leader, or a goof, or some combination? Edited June 19, 2008 by KipWellsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Get Smart is getting great reviews everywhere I look. The Love Guru is getting raped and trashed. Supporting my thought that Mike Meyers is not that funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 I saw only one article on Get Smart but it ripped it almost as bad as Love Guru is getting ripped. Love Guru might possibly be the worse movie ever made (basing that solely off previews, which couldn't even get a chuckle out of me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I want to see Get Smart for no other reason than I couldn't think of a better 99 than Steve Carrell. He is the originals guys twin or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 With lowered expectations, Semi-Pro was actually pretty damn funny. The beginning was pretty slow, but there were definitely some laugh-out-loud moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Batman is in Gotham and Superman is in Metropolis. And the Xmen are in upstate New York (I think). I love superhero action flicks, I dont mind the sudden surge in popularity. When you get a real stinker nowadays its kind of a surprise, mostly because of how great special effects are now and how much people want better scripts.

The trailer looks cool as hell, and now its got a perfect 100% on rottentomatoes so far They've been running trailers for it in the theatre since late winter, and I didn't think the movie looked good figuring it would be rated PG-13. Now that it's getting good reviews, Angenlia looks to get nekkid, and it's rated R from stronger violence, I'm more inclined to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 If you want to flat out enjoy yourself for just under two hours, go rent "Be Kind Rewind." It's rated PG-13, but I see no reason why a family couldn't enjoy it together. The wife and I rented it this weekend, and it's just flat out enjoyable. Not only are the film re-enectments hilarious, but the movie also has a great story. It helps that I adore Jack Black, but you'll like this one a lot even if you don't. I'll probably give it another spin before returning it, it's that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
