Mr. Sinister Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 It's just a story about a guy and his son surviving after some apocalyptic event, nothing more to it really. I kinda liked that. Fair enough. To be honest, It had all the elements of a great book, but some novels just don't belong on the big screen, where everything gets crammed into a 1.5 hr.- 2hr. time limit.

Chump Bailey Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I thought The American with George Clooney was terrible and had to turn it off 1/2 way through. Seriously bad IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Y'all need a SOH by-pass if you didn't find The Hangover and Due Date funny. The Hangover was the single funniest film of 2009, and the first in a long time I've laughed virtually from first minute to last; and Due Date is up there with Dinner for Schmucks as the funniest film I saw last year. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 The Watchmen.. as bad as the book, and the book is ****ing DRECK. Watchmen should be sold as a sleep aid. And the book should be sold as a package of 200 or so tear-out puppy training pads. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I know I am on record as being a Nicolas Cage hater, but I dare any of you who haven't seen it, to try and sit through the first 20 minutes of the Wickerman without slipping into a coma.

Hail. Sorry, but Due Date for me was one predictable joke after another I knew what was going to happen in that movie 10 minutes before it did, it was Planes Trains and Automobiles all over again. Maybe it's a Conan O'brien thing. ---------- Post added May-7th-2011 at 08:17 AM ---------- I know I am on record as being a Nicolas Cage hater, but I dare any of you who haven't seen it, to try and sit through the first 20 minutes of the Wickerman without slipping into a coma. I dare you, I double dog dare you! Avoid Wickerman...got it. I knew there was a reason I hadn't rented that yet. The thing with Cage is that he either hits a home run (Gone in 60) or it's just unwatchable (most of his movies) the problem is that he's like a pitcher in baseball...home runs don't come very often.

War Paint Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 The Annihilators. It's about a group of Vietnam buddies who team up in the future to fight gangs in Atlanta. It's so terrible that it's funny. bofRMYlhAqk Another scene from The Annihilators gXq8eLoOZj8 ---------- Post added May-7th-2011 at 10:54 AM ---------- I thought The Road was good.Buried was completely unsatisfying.

Toe Jam Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Battle: Los Angeles was a mess. It had a lot of potential but ultimately just sucked. Also beware of Beastly.

Try the original Wickerman (with Ed Woodward). BTW the best movie Cage has been in is Kick-Ass (Let me know if I'm right). ---------- Post added May-7th-2011 at 03:12 PM ---------- He's desperate,, he'll take any dog offered to him.I've crossed him off my list of actors who's movies i'll bother with. ~Bang Don't miss Kick Ass.

sportjunkie07 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Don't miss Kick Ass. Kick Ass was pretty good, though it still was Cage's typical acting (which isnt good). most of cage's movies are crap. he has a few good ones though, but none of them are great movies: the Rock, Lord of War, Kick Ass, Matchstick Men, Gone in 60 seconds.

Destino Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 That might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard on a Redskins board. You fail at life, and someone should tar and feather your parents for having you. Seriously though, the Monk/Green induction weekend was the most epic two days of my life that didn't involve watching my children come into the world. HoF is great... Canton is boring as hell. I wish they'd relocate the hall to someplace I'd actually otherwise want to visit. ---------- Post added May-7th-2011 at 03:27 PM ---------- Also, not enjoying the hangover or due date means your sense of humor is plain terrible. I don't know how else to say itHaven't seen due date but if you didn't like the hangover you simply have no sense of humor. I imagine you being the overly serious type that only laughs on rare the rare inappropriate occasion making for an awkward experience for all involved.

Destino Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Agreed, a pretty damn good movie. There are too many people (apparently including 2 posters in this thread) who can't handle a movie that is so bleak (understandable). The movie does a great job of intentionally making that bleak atmosphere with superb acting, directing, and a depressingly beautiful color palette. I was just happy to get away from the orange and teal color-grading that is used in 90% of all movies these days. I can handle bleak movies. I can also handle boring road trips with family members that take everything too seriously. I just prefer to do something enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick6 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I can't believe the few that are giving The Road so much hate. It was a great movie and a few people apparently weren't paying enough attention to know what that movie was about. The one most recently that I watched and didn't understand all the hype was 127 Hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
