Topic: Movie Reviews!

Ok I'm back with a new collection of movies that you should/shouldn't see!




Slumdog Millionaire
(Drama, In theatres)

"The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much?"



I was pleasantly surprised about this movie. I didn't really care to see it, nor did I really understand what it was about or how it could even be worth an academy award nomination but I was mistaken. This movie was one of the better movies I've seen in a while. It's not your typical cliche story with empty characters. It actually was a pretty good story. Especially for an independent film. I don't really wanna go into detail about the movie but I think anyone who has some time on their hands should check it out. It's a really good movie.

5 out of 5 stars easily




Role Models
(Comedy, on DVD)

"Danny and Wheeler are two salesmen who trash a company truck on an energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn't look half bad."


I saw this one yesterday and it was a lot funnier than I thought it'd be. If I had to compare it with something, I'd say it was around the same level as superbad with superbad having the edge. It's a very fun movie if you like crazy random stuff and lots and lots of profanity. LOTS of profanity lol

3 out of 5 stars



Changeling
(Drama, on DVD)

"A mother prays for the return of her kidnapped son. When her prayers are answered, however, she begins to suspect the boy who comes back is not her child. Inspired by true events that took place in Los Angeles in the 1920s"


I saw this movie for the hell of it and I have to say that I was disappointed. I mean...it was a good story and plot. Well...it was a true story and plot lol But I think Angelina Jolie's acting in the movie was overrated and that she probably should not have been up for an academy award. It's an easy movie to put your attention into due to the fact that it has you wondering wtf is going to happen next. But as the story got better, Jolie's role became lamer and lamer. Like...I can't believe this woman was so weak and such a pushover. Perhaps I'm being biased but it's just not the best drama that I've ever seen. It's a decent chick flick I guess. Very sad and emotional story. I got teary eyed at the end that's for sure but angelina should probably stick to familiar roles.

3 1/2 out of 5 stars.




Max Payne
(Action, on DVD)

"Max Payne is a maverick cop--a mythic anti-hero--determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murders of his family and partner. Hell-bent on revenge, his obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmare journey into a dark underworld"

I didn't even finish the movie so it's quite possible that the ending of the movie was insanely spectacular and incredible that it completely overshadows the beginning and middle which sucked. This movie is more proof that 9/10 movies that are based on games suck.

1 out of 5 stars





That's all for now, more to come soon

You would.

Re: Movie Reviews!

I don't like '5 star ratings'. They really dont do anything...and throwing in you use halves as well -- thats just weird.


My rating system goes:


SHIT: The movie was so shit, if i met someone who helped create it i would punch them in the face. Twice.

ENTERTAINING: The movie was ok. I was bored during parts, but most of it i was able to sit through.

GOOD: The movie was very enjoyable. At a later date im sure i'll watch it again, and id certainly recommend other people to watch it.

GREAT: Awesome!! I could watch this twice in a row, and still enjoy it the second time.

Morbo: Morbo can't understand his teleprompter. He forgot how you say that letter that looks like a man with a hat.
Linda: It's a 't'. It goes "tuh".
Morbo: Hello, little man. I will destroy you!!

I go for the "out of ten" system, but unlike everyone else in the universe I don't automatically give a "good" film 8/10, more like 5/10 or 6/10.

Re: Movie Reviews!

Watchmen:

It sucked.

1/5 stars


Waltz With Bashir:

I have to say I'm not into the whole anime movies kind of thing, but this wasn't any ordinary movie. This was... real. It's based on a true story and drawn in not a spectacular, but a very vivid way. I'm not going to spell out what the movie is about, 'cause that's just silly. But if you enjoy real stories, a weird sense of humour and psychology: you're in for a treat.

4/5 ('cause it's still an anime movie)

This forum is stupid.

Re: Movie Reviews!

Max Payne was truly horrible, I think I cried a little bit before I fell asleep halfway through.


damn you Marky Mark!

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: Movie Reviews!

watchmen didnt suck, but neither did it appeal to me. maybe cuz im immune to the "destroy the world, recreate the world conspiracy" theme.

Re: Movie Reviews!

UPDATE!


X-Men Origins
(In theatres May 1st)

Its supposed to be one of the biggest movies of this summer but frankly, I was a little disappointed. The start of the movie was great and gave a lot of depth into wolverine's origin from childhood and explains why he's so...angry lol As the movie progressed, they did a great job of using special effects without going over the top and even gave some good emphasis on other mutants in the x-men universe which I liked a lot. But in the climax, things came to a screeching halt. Seriously. I won't say exactly what happened but the movie's main point COMPLETELY changed. It was like watching one movie end and another cheesy movie begin. I swear to you that the ending was one of the worst endings to any superhero movie ever. If you're big on action movies and not interested in the story then I guess it was ok. But to me, if I wanted to go see a fail movie, I would've went to watch dragonball z.

I'd recommend going to the matinee if you guys want to see this movie. And don't bring a date! Don't spend 40.00 on this lol
