The Bones Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 13 Assassins is pretty badass. I would put it in my top 3 of the year so far, but I haven't really been impressed by a whole lot so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 A-Team wasn't bad at all. My wife watched How Do You Know and You Again, and thought they were just about the worst movies she's seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) There is a fine line between "whoa" and "cringeworthy", I agree. I havent really appreciated Nic Cages career arc after Face/Off, he pretty much plays the same guy in various different settings. He did sprinkle in a few movies like Matchstick Men and Leaving Las Vegas that I liked, but on the whole I just didnt like his movies like National Treasure, Ghostrider, Knowing, etc. Same with Transformers 2, it was just bad. T3 DOTM, I liked, but there were still a few cringe moments that could have been avoided. I agree with everything in this post. I will throw in another Nic Cage movie that I liked (that broke from his action mold) as The Weather Man. The scene where's walking down the street trying to remember to pick up guacamole is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 14, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) Raising Arizona  way way before Face/off. thats why it, and moonstruck were not included.   adaptation and bringing out the dead were good post-faceoff movies, but 8mm, snakeeyes, gone in 60 seconds, the wicker man, next,drive angry, season of the witch. yuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 "30 Minutes or Less" could definitely have waited for DVD. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it; I laughed quite a bit. Something was just off about it, and it was really short, and it ended quite abruptly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Eisenberg's neurotic character is getting a bit old at this point. The whole movie felt like a bad version of Pineapple Express. I still laughed but it was kind of flat, and Eisenberg kind of sucked. Aziz was awesome, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 08:32 AM) That looks fantastic.  I don't know exactly what it is, but I love any movie with an "historical" background having the Nazi's as the bad guys. It often gets old seeing the same antagonists in every movie, but they're just so perfect for it. I honestly can't think of a single bad movie with that basis.  Saving Private Ryan The Longest Day Hellboy Captain America The Boys From Brazil Blues Brothers  Just some examples from all different genres spanning decades, and I enjoyed them all.

Kyyle23 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Project Arbiter looks to be pretty cool. It is based off of a short that gathered a lot of buzz, hopefully the expanded story does it justice. The sci-fi element is supposed to be pretty cool, i am looking forward to seeing the cloaking suit in full action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
