BigSqwert Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I did catch "It's All Gone Pete Tong" during Soxtalk's hiatus. It was a highly entertaining film about a superstar DJ in Ibiza who winds up losing his hearing. It's shot in somewhat of a mockumentary style and has several funny moments. Overall a 7 out of 10.

Kid Gleason Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 23, 2007 -> 03:40 PM) Agreed, and I find that to be a shame. I really like Sandler and James (and Biel's um, hot). It's a shame that they couldn't pull something together. I keep trying to convince myself that it'd be worth seeing, but I can't do it. No, there is pretty much nothing to recommend about this. Even Biel's underwear shot and "boob feel-up" isn't all that great. There is a drop the soap joke, that while predictable and an old joke, is actually a decent scene. The look on James face makes it worthwhile, as does the slow motion. The inclusion of Ving Rhames also made it less painful, as he is like James in that he makes everything a little bit better. David Spade is bad in his cameo. Rob Schneider is decent in his cameo. Ackroyd is still slumming it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I actually really enjoyed Chuck and Larry. I'm a huge fan of kevin james though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't in it nearly as much as Sandler, and that crippled the flick greatly. Someday people will realize that James can carry a major film all by himself. He was what worked in that film, and he is what made Hitch somewhat less that irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I know there's a lot of people on here who enjoy Christian Bale's work, as I am definitely one of them. There's one movie that always seems to get over looked for some reason, Equilibrium. It's just a damn good action movie with some outstanding acting spliced in. I always found it to be more enjoyable than the Matrix due to there being some real acting going on in Equilibrium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part where the screen was dark and Bale was waiting for those guys to come in and the only light during the sequence was from the light of the guns going off. Good flick.

sox4lifeinPA Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Taye Digs was in Equilibrium... and you just said that there was "real acting going on in Equilibrium." You probably liked "Million Dollar Baby" too, didn't you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Bale was great in that movie, which required the actors to have no emotion; however, they should have called up Hayden Christianson and Ryan Fellippe, who are the Drab Actors of American Movies (otherwise known as "DAAM!") spokes people, to star in this film. See "Broken Glass" and "Breach" for perfect examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I've never even seen Million Dollar Baby and probably never will. Taye Diggs was annoying as all hell in Equilibrium, that much is obvious but Bale was just fantastic and since he was on screen for about 100% of the scenes in the movie he was able to carry it along despite his supporting cast and a flimsy plot.

Kalapse Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'm wrestling with the idea of seeing it. I know I'll hate the movie but I feel obligated to at least watch it since I absolutely loved the show growing up. I'll probably end up waiting until it comes to Starz or Cinemax or whatever, I'd rather not drop $10 on a piece of s*** like the Simpson's Movie when I could go see Rescue Dawn instead.

Dan Castellaneta could fart into a microphone for and hour and a half and it would still get at least 8.5 stars on there.
