Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

They cant effectively advertise what the flick is about and all the jokes are R rated.

Kind of what I am thinking as well. Though with Smith and Rogan there is a bit of a built-in audience that will see it.

The Rosie O'Donnell bit was hilarious

I like Kevin Smith but this seems kinda like a ripoff of "The Amateurs" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405163/ which was decent.

I second that ....for both...

And previously mentioned Prince of Darkness....something about that movie (maybe it was the signals coming from the future???) gave me serious willies.

**KcMizzou** · 10-30-2008, 10:52 PM

This looks terrible. But you can bet I'll see it...

Just watched "The Lazarus Project" with Paul Walker, very good psychological thriller, definetly worth a rent. His best movie that i've seen and did a good job acting in it, shockingly. Straight to DVD release that makes you almost wonder why it wasn't in theaters.

I am loving Netflix's rating system. Not only for rentals but for movies in theaters. Compared to rotten tomatoes, I find Netflix much more accurate.

So my experiment tomorrow is while I tivo the chiefs game, go see all these movies that are getting better than 3/5 on Netflix:

Sex Drive 3.8
Max Payne 3.2
Saw V 3.6
Zach and Miri 3.9

We will see how close it comes to those numbers when I see em.

OK got back. I find it hard to assign arbitrary numbers to movies so I make up my own rating system: (Iam weird)

5/5 - I will watch this movie whenever it comes on cable. good example is Shawshank Redemption

4/5 - A great go to movie if you are with a person that hasnt seen it. But you wont go out of your way to watch it by yourself

3/5 - An okay movie that you would see again if a person you are with wants to see it. Only if there is nothing else better they want to see.

2/5 - Not a horrible movie, but not good. you would give it another chance if someone twisted your arm.
1/5 - A real crapper. Under no circumstances would you ever watch this movie again and recomend to everyone not to see it.

So for the movies I saw:

Sex Drive - Didnt, stupid fandango doesnt put AM or PM in their listings and so the10:15 movie was at night not in the morning like I thought.

Max Payne- I thought this would be a supernatural detective movie, actually it is just a mediocre detective movie. Its saving grace was the awesome slow down action scenes. the supernatural stuff is only drug hallucinations. 3/5

Zach and Miri- I am shocked Smith won his arbitration against the MPAA. This has alot of sex in it. Also, I now want to pee in the butts of Katie Morgan (whose porn career actually started in similar fashion as Zach and Miri) and Elizabeth Banks. They both are incredibly hot in it. Only thing holding the movie back is a considerable slow down of the plot and laughs in the middle of the movie. Also see Dogma. 4/5

Saw 5 - Got the Saw franchise back on track. Cleaned up all the mess of Saw 4 and got back to what made the Saw movies fun: Traps with rules and twists. Lots of gore but a simple plot that made sense, compared to the convoluted steaming shit that was Saw 4. 4/5

BONUS :P
I netflixed Postal because I am a huge Zach Ward fan. (the brother from Titus) What a piece of shit. Uwe Boll strikes again.

1/5

why would you assume it would be playing in the AM?

Hammock Parties · 11-02-2008, 07:14 PM

Does Banks show her tits? I might just bust out my wang in the theater if she does.

irishjayhawk · 11-02-2008, 09:53 PM

Zach and Miri was pretty good.

Role Models was also funny as hell, but lacks pretty much any story. It's how you can tell an Apatow comedy from a regular comedy.
