Last movie you watched?

[Jeff]

Yesterday:

Triage - not bad, but slow in some parts

Repo Men - way too long, but I liked the ending

[Fat Freddy]

Tried -- notice I said tried -- to watch "Battlefield Earth" last night.

 

And...wow. All the reviews I've read about it over the years were right, that damn thing is unwatchably bad. I was so bored that I said "f*ck this" and turned it off about 45 minutes in, which is something I rarely do. Lord knows if I'll bother to go back and watch the rest of it.

 

Good decision mate, rubbish film

 

Yeah, but I'm sure my Film Watcher's O.C.D. will probably compel me to finish watching it at some point. I simply can't NOT finish a movie, even a godawful piece of crap like this. Dunno why. I guess in the back of my mind I'm afraid that if I never find out how it turns out, it's going to bother me forever.

Probably afraid you`ll enjoy it

I've never watched Battlefield Earth, but find it hard to imagine it being as bad as everyone says! What is so terrible about it?

 

Having said that, I have enough films to watch and I dislike Travolta, so I don't need persuading to leave this one well alone.

What little I've seen has been total "WTF?" nonsense thus far. You get dropped into the story without a single clue of who the characters are, what the story's supposed to be about, etc. Basically the guy who I assume will end up being the hero has spent the entire time getting into fights with other characters (in slow motion, in what I assume is an attempt to be stylish) and screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" or "AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!" a lot, while Travolta (under about 100 pounds of ugly makeup that makes him look like the love child of Yoda and a Klingon) stands around cackling and arguing with the other aliens.

 

Y'know all those awful post-apocalyptic "Mad Max" ripoff movies that were made in Italy back in the '80s, that tried to mix the science-fiction and sword-and-sorcery genres (badly)? This is what one of those movies would've looked like if it had a $50 million dollar budget.

 

Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of crappy movies (I'm sure some of the films I've posted about in this thread have made that quite obvious)... but thus far this flick is a whole 'nother KIND of crap. This is the sort of crap that the CRAP calls "crap." If that makes any sense.

I have yet to see this,but I did read the book and it was quite good. Not surprised that the book got messed up in movie translation.

 

Crazyheart Jeff Bridges as an alcoholic has been country western entertainer. Not bad. Can't imagine the role was too big a stretch...

[Fat Freddy]

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Alright Freddy, you can calm the fu-k down; I've watched it, now.

This film was hilarious, yet the title was misleading. I expected more tyrannical conquering. While this usually finds its way on the list of worst movies ever made, it stills is deserving of, at the least, one viewing from any film buff.

 

Damn, I missed this post till now. Glad you enjoyed it... nice to see that I'm not the only cinematic masochist around here.

 

You've got a point though -- Santa doesn't really "conquer" anything, does he?

 

Seriously, if ever a movie was screaming to be remade by Tim Burton (or perhaps Rob Zombie), "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" is it. Just imagine what either of those twisted f*cks could do with that film!!!

How could you not like him in Grease and Pulp Fiction

I would like both films more if someone else had played those parts. Unless it was Nicholas Cage.

[Jeff]

Inception - makes perfect sense to me

Splice - somewhat disturbing

Centurion - I liked this one the most out of the 3 I watched yesterday

[Faron]

Angels And Demons

 

Enjoyed what I could understand as my wife kept talking over the relevant bits

[Fat Freddy]

The Towering Inferno

 

One of the great disaster films!

 

Also noteworthy for the fact that it's O.J. Simpson's film debut (even though all he does is run around hallways, kicking doors open and saying "Hello? Is anybody in here?" )

[cdjunky41]

Dennis The Menice..

 

I still love this flick

[Faron]

Friday The 13th (2009)

 

Not bad at all, as usual my was jumping all over the sofa.

[66 mustang]

KNIGHT AND DAY - you know what, I really enjoyed this movie. I was well entertained with this flick and would watch it again. I'd even buy it

[Dark Star]

Machete... Pretty damn good flick!! Shit blowing up, lots of blood and shit.. OH did I mention Lindsay Lohan is like butt nekkid??? Nice rack she has.....

[Jeff]

Jonah Hex - yet another movie that could have been really good but instead mostly sucked. Glad I only paid a buck to rent it.

[Faron]

The Stepfather

 

Decent remake of the 1987 film.

[All Nights Reserved]

Freddy vs. Jason

 

"Welcome to my nightmare, bitch!"

[Fat Freddy]

Freddy vs. Jason

 

"Welcome to my nightmare, bitch!"

 

I love that movie. It was a total fanboy dream come true to see those two finally mix it up.

 

Probably gonna watch "Predator 2" tonight...

[heaven&hell]

Freddy vs. Jason

 

"Welcome to my nightmare, bitch!"

 

I love that movie. It was a total fanboy dream come true to see those two finally mix it up.

 

 

Did you happen to see that Nightmare on Elm Street four hour two part special they did on the Biography channel where they talked about all of those movies including Freddy Vs Jason? I think the special came out last year but I caught the rerun last Sunday. Very awesome special that had interviews with almost everyone that was involved in all of the movies.

Yeah, I saw that around Halloween time. It was killer. Lots of cool insider info and geek trivia about the series.

[Chris]

Season Of The Witch....Very good movie.
