The Constant Gardener was absolutely terrible.
I LOVE THAT FLICK! My husband and I had that in common when we started to date! He picked it up used a week after we met.
"God gave me a gift. I shovel well. I shovel VERY well."
We make it a point to watch it at least every 6 months.
"Ya ya sure, bring ze brewskies"
Great. Now I gotta watch it again tonight. THanks clemenza. And I'm not even half done with my "V" series box set (teenage crush on Mark Singer) and I have to rewatch Mystery Men. (grown-up crush on William H. Macy)
Otherwise, it was a stinkeroo!
Oh man, forgot that one -- shoulda been in my Class I.
Alexander was bad indeed. I couldn't figure out Jolie's accent
Not all movies are made for all audiences.
This movie was made for those that were about 10 years (plus) out of college, and reflecting on who they were, and what they became. With all due respect, if you were just entering college, you were looking forward still and perhaps not in the mood to reflect on what could have been.
Dealing with a friends death (especially the way this person died) will cause one to think about ones own life.
I enjoyed this movies, but then, it could just be me.
Okay, I'll bite. Who's Leonard-Pith Garnell?
My wife commented when we saw a commercial for 2F2F that the graphics for GTA3 looked better. Never bothered to watch more than the commercial.
I DID see the Village, that was my synopsis. I thought it was one of the more stupid plots I have ever had the misfortune to sit through. So tell me what I missed.
A.I., the movie with four endings, all of them depressing. The audience at the theater I saw it at got up immediately, gave each other "I'll pretend I didn't see that if you do" looks, and silently left the theater. It's was just stunningly awful.
It was kinda funny (was on TV two days ago - I ended up watching it again), but I concur,they should have just stopped with This is Spinal Tap ("How many times have I told them, Spinal Tap and THEN Puppet Show). Best in Show was pretty funny. Same cast members for the most part. The yuppie couple with the braces had me in tears.
I was just thinking on posting about "Army"!
Movies so bad they are funny. I have the director's cut, but I like the "S-mart" ending much better than the director's cut one.
"First you wanna kill me, then you wanna kiss me. Blow!"
1. Bridges of Madison County
What a snooze fest! I stayed only because I was with my wife and the row of women behind us made such a big deal at how much I love my wife that I would take her to it, and that I was the only straight guy in the theatre.
I had to keep remarking that Iowa cities don't look like that. Des Moines is a modern city with all of the big city conveniences. She thinks Iowa is just a big mud hole, mainly because of this movie.
I still bring this up when my wife says it's her turn to pick up a movie. "Yes, but I sat through Bridges of Madison County." With that, she concedes to watch the next Jackie Chan movie instead.
2. King Pin
I left the theatre feeling like I needed a shower. That was just an icky movie. (I know "icky" is a girly word, but I cannot find a more appropriate word)
3. Summer of Sam
My wife dragged me to this piece of crap. I knew it was crap, but my wife loves stories about serial killers because of her work in law. I tried to explain it wasn't about the Son of Sam, but she wouldn't listen.
It is a movie supposedly about how others reacted during the time when SoS was on his killing spree. Instead, all I saw was a bunch of sex-crazed racist retards in the NYC area.
There was some inappropriate exposure. Two rows in front of us were three boys, about 12 years old, with no adult with them. I used that as an excuse to get out of the theatre, so i could ask the manager to get the kids out since it was definately inappropriate for their age.
We finally left after my wife had enough of my outrage, especially since they did not remove the kids. We got our money only after I threatened to go to the authorities with the complaint that the theatre allowed under age into the movie.
There's plenty of good films. The bad ones get all the publicity since they are aimed at raunchy teens.
Woods and Belushi were also in that cool vampire movie...
I also liked "Eternal Sunshine." My dh had to practically hogtie me to make me watch it, but I actually liked it quite a bit, as did he. Best thing about that movie was seeing Evil Frodo. :)
It was a character played by Dan Ackroyd on Saturday Night Live, who would host a show based on "Bad Art" or "Bad Opera" that would feature the most weird stuff.
