Steve9347 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 So I guess I'm seeing J. Edgar on Saturday night. This is the least excited I've been to see a movie like this ever. It's been really poorly advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I saw Harold and Kumar in 3D last night. Pretty entertaining, pretty much exactly what i expected - gratuitous nudity, coke, NPH being awesome, ridiculousness. I was concerned they were going to be obnoxious with the 3D schtick throughout the movie but it's only over the top for the first few minutes. I think my favorite joke (that apparently went over the heads of everyone in the theater) was about how Kumar's fake character backstory at a party was that he supposedly worked at the White House, and he said "nah, no one would believe that" . Overall, it was as-advertised, though I don't think it was worth the $16 for a 3D movie (especially on a Tuesday night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 What was that movie someone posted a few months back? It was from Hong Kong or something, about a raid on a den of mobsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Tower Heist---2.75 stars Warrior---3 1/2 stars The Immortals---2 stars (1 for Freida Pinto's beauty/butt but 1/2 subtraction for stunt double) My Idiot Brother---3 stars Paranormal Activity 3---1 1/2 stars Moneyball---3.25 stars (good, but not Sorkin's best work) Twilight running at 27%, 38 positive reviews and 102 negatives. Looks to be trending right along with the last Twilight, which will make it either the 4th or 5th highest opening weekend of all-time.

caulfield12 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Has anyone seen The Descendants yet? That's the movie everyone is pointing to Clooney getting an Oscar nomination for, as well as the young actress who plays his daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem it could be him, though, if it's an Indonesian movie set in Jakarta. Edited November 20, 2011 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Horrible bosses>Bridesmaids. Bridesmaids was so overrated. It was like an SNL skit where you had a laugh here and there, followed by long periods of boredom and uncomfortableness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I watched Horrible Bosses on the plane yesterday. I thought it was funny, it definitely had its moments. I did think Bridesmaids was way funnier though. Also watched Bad Teacher yesterday, thought that was pretty hilarious too. I liked all 3, but probably rank them: Bridesmaids > Bad Teacher > Horrible Bosses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I watched The Green Lantern last night. Felt like seeing a mindless action movie. It wasn't horrible, but it sure seemed like it was done in fast forward. That probably helped it to be much more bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Bridesmaids was better than Horrible Bosses. I'm indifferent about ranking Horrible Bosses versus Bad Teacher, could go either way. As far as the TOG's goes, I had pretty low expectations so it was pleasantly surprising. Like..."My Idiot Brother," the critical response was pretty tepid and the box office low, so I thought it would suck, even though I usually enjoy Paul Rudd movies. My thoughts on that one are pretty much in alignment with Ebert. Also agreed with Ebert on The Immortals. It's not coherent or cohesive at all, it's just a big mess that merely LOOKS good. It actually makes Clash of the Titans look like Masterpiece Theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
