Summer movie wrap up and fall movie preview

I'm desperately waiting for The Fountain. I absolutely love Aronofsky's work.

Plus, Daniel Craig in James Bond seems intriguing.

And last but not least, Rocco Does Jenna 93.

 

MI3: not bad, pretty slow beginning, but picked up later on, wish there wouldve been more action

X-Men: The Last Stand - I thought it was great, get over it, its not going to follow EVERYTHING like the comics, really entertainning, and heres to a 4th one

Over the Hedge - Could've been better, was bored throughout the movie

The Break Up - was better than I thought it would be, Vince Vaughn is still a genius

Nacho Libre - my feeling was this, after the movie was done, i was dissappointed, then a few days later, im quoting the movie and thinks its a great flick, the same way I felt with Napoleon Dynamite

Click - Another great movie by Adam Sandler, which I think im one of the very few that repects his talents

Superman Returns - not bad, but I was more "wow" with Batman Begins last year, still a good movie though, and note to Kal Penn, SAY SOMETHING!!!!

The Devil Wears Prada - damn Merryl Streep played a hardcore b**** in the movies, and did it VERY well....

Clerks II - Being the Kevin Smith fan, you know I would love this movie before the trailers even started

Taladega Nights - was really surprised, not into NASCAR, but Farrell made this movie entertaning

Pulse - not bad of a movie, but damn, can people really that stupid in movies????

Step Up - yea, i was dragged to this ****, but was entertainning, typical boy-girl movie

Crossover - expected more, not much bball action, predictable/stereotypical

Didn't get around to watch, but wanted to: The Da Vinci Code, Poseiden, Cars, Pirates 2 (one of the few that DIDNT watch it), My Super Ex GF, Lady in the Water, Tokyo Drift, Lake House, Beerfest, Miami Vice, WTC, Accepted, and Invincible

Looking foward in the fall: Gridiron Gang, DOA (2 laugh my ass off), the Protector, The Last Kiss, Jackass 2, Fearless, School for Scoundrels, Employee of the Month, The Marine, The Prestige, and Saw 3

 

For me:

MI3: Liked it more than I expected, good summer action flick. Fell apart at the end, though. (B+)

X3: The weakest of the trilogy. Not a bad movie, but it was very 'crowded', as though trying to just pack too much into one movie. We all want to see X-Men kick ass, but we don't want a nonsense fanboy-gasm either. (C+)

Cars: Like A-Train, I didn't have as high expectations as normal for some reason, but should have known better. Very entertaining. Not Pixar's best, but even their 'just good' movies are so much better than everything else. (B+)

Clerks 2: Freakin' great. Very funny, lived up to my expectations. Haven't enjoyed a Smith film this much in a long, long time. (A)

Superman Returns: Enjoyed the classic feel, along with the new kinks. Too slow in it's pacing, but I hope now that the setup is out of the way any sequels kick it up a notch. (B-)

Nacho Libre: Good laughs, but a bit of a letdown. I was expecting more with the tools there were to work with. Some of the other Luchadores were awesome; needed more. (C)

Over The Hedge: Decent, a little above average in terms of your animated movies, but nothing outstanding. (B-)

Talledega Nights: Good stuff, not as good as Anchorman or Old School, two of my Ferrell favorites, but a good time. (B)

Accepted: I was expecting very little, and came away very surprised. Starts off kind of slow but picks up and has some funny stuff. Screw the reviews, it's a good comedy. (B-)

Snakes On A Plane: What I expected; a movie that celebrates the fact it was pretty bad. Enjoyable, but I wish I had seen it with a better audience. (B of course)

Still need to see Pirates (I know, I know), Little Miss Sunshine, Idiocracy, Miami Vice, Click, Lady In The Water, Da Vinci Code.

 

Clerks II was the best movie of the summer.

The only movies I'm really looking foward to are: The movie that is coming out by the director of Eternal Sunshine called The Science of Sleep Trailer and... jackass 2.

 

the break up was ****ing awful.

chick flick i know, but still awful

 

Wrong. Little Miss Sunshine was *the* best movie of the summer. Hands down. Direction, acting, sheer comic hilarity, storyline ... this movie was nearly flawless.

Others:
Superman Returns: C+. How underwhelming.

Click: A. Adam Sandler at his best.

MI:3: B+. Good action, not quite mindblowing, but worth its weight in paper.

 

Best action movie for me was MI3. Tom Cruise can do no wrong.

Best hilarity in a movie was Little Miss Sunshine. I like movies with clever dialogue.

Biggest dissapointment was Lady in the Water. I'm a big fan of M. Night's movies and I even liked The Village. This movie was terrible.

The last 30 pages of the Da Vinci Code book should have warned me the movie would suck.

 

Pirates and Idiocracy are all I saw this summer.

 

Best movie I saw all summer was Prarie Home Companion.

Really looking forward to seeing Hollywoodland. I love Film Noir.

 

Have you seen the previews for The Black Dhalia?

 

if you guys are looking for a dumb action movie, don't forget to watch "crank". that is one highly entertaining movie.

 

I don't know why, but this trailer makes me laugh:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/letsgotoprison/

There's something funny about prison rape jokes, but I just can't put my finger on it.

 

Anyone seen The Illusionist? Good, bad?

 

My brother liked it, for what that is worth.

 

My folks loved it.

 

Good. Somewhat predictable but Ed Norton and Paul are great actors and have a great dynamic.

 

Yes...want to see that one too.

 

I'd watch that movie just to see Will Arnett (I miss arrested development).

 

The Departed looks like it will be good. Hell, with Scorsese directing, and a cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, and Alec Baldwin it better be.
