Two awesome movie ingredients...I am looking forward to seeing this. And Margin Call. That one has money. And calls. Lots of calls. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 The Life of David GaleThis took me for a ride and I really enjoyed it. It was thought-provoking and I had to double check to make sure it wasn't a true story. Recommended. Link to post Share on other sites

Recommended.I remember this movie because Ebert gave it zero stars."...let it be said this movie is about as corrupt, intellectually bankrupt and morally dishonest as it could possibly be without David Gale actually hiring himself out as a joker at the court of Saddam Hussein."

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 finally saw BLACK SWAN. good sweet baby jesus what a movie. probably the best movie i've seen since there will be blood/ncfom. oh man it was just so god damn good. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 ContrabandYep, this movie is exactly what you'd expect. The foreshadowing with what was supposed to be a twist wasn't much of a reveal as the movie hits you over the head with whats going to happen several times. And then like, one more time just to make sure someone who went to the bathroom couldn't miss it. I don't like movies using camera shots that are distracting. Son visits father in the pen. Close up of fathers unfocused face. Pans right. Pans left. Centers and finally.....FINALLY the camera focuses on the fathers face. Pretty annoying. It's not what I'd call a bad movie but it's certainly not good. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Kill the Irishman....very good movie about the 70's mob, really enjoyed it. Low budget but well cast and well-acted, it's a true story. Link to post Share on other sites
ShakeZuma 585 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 moneyball: really good movie, and I don't even like baseball. I also didn't think beane's buy-in to the new system wasn't explained well enough since he was specifically looking for a new way to manage the team, and jonah hill's method fit exactly what he was looking for. and also thought the ending was well done; it couldn't have ended after they finished the streak because that wasn't the point of the movie. the point was to change the way baseball was managed on a macro level, not on a 20 game sample size, so if they ended it there without showing the macro change, then it wouldn't have fit.got another earth and the king's speech in the hopper today.

ShakeZuma 585 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 oh, and one of the previews before moneyball was for this new adam sandler movie where he plays his own twin sister. that's not serious is it? they didn't actually make that movie, right? when I was watching the preview I was sure that it was one of the fake adam sandler movies from funny people.

This is Adam's 15th feature film featuring some sort of childlike premise. Which should come as no surprise, because when Adam Sandler does something, by God, he repeats the living shit out of it.-Anthony Jeselnik Link to post Share on other sites

ShakeZuma 585 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 you know me well. movie was a bit weird though, but very thought provoking, I guess. I'd say I liked it.just finished the king's speech, and while I thought it was really good, the only thing I could think of after it was over was "that fucking thing beet inception?!"

Jack and Jill really does seem like the ultimate spoof of awful movies.just finished the king's speech, and while I thought it was really good, the only thing I could think of after it was over was "that fucking thing beet inception?!"Yeah...the acting performances were way better in King's Speech, but I think that my vote would have gone to Inception as well.

Anger Management, Punch Drunk Love, Big Daddy...ok, fine, I even like 50 First Dates. And Happy Gilmore and The Waterboy.You know who I can't stand? That one guy he puts in all his movies who must just be some childhood friend. The guy that plays the quarterback in The Waterboy. Link to post Share on other sites

PDL is obviously the tits. Big Daddy has a serious side? 50 First Dates works because he's not a douchebag like in so many other movies. Although as Cracked pointed out, that movie has a bit of a horrifying implication at the end there. You know, waking up and surprise! You're a mom! Every day. Link to post Share on other sites

Governator 54 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 ContrabandI sort of liked it but it was extremely straight forward and the supporting cast was disappointing. I'm a big fan of Giovanni Ribisi but he just suffered in this movie. His voice is naturally cool and always plays a good drug addict but this time his voice sounded so forced that he looked & sounded uncomfortable and not himself. I hope he continues to get bigger roles though. Link to post Share on other sites
