Forum: The Critic's Corner

there's two movies coming out that i'm really excited about. one is a no brainer - dinner for schmucks. movie looks stupid funny. haven't been this pumped about a comedy since the hangover - which was good but didn't quite live up to the hype. i saw the extended trailer recently and was rolling the...

I am in a Batman 3 trailer contest for $400 for the best trailer for Batman 3 or a theoretical massive hit. The trailer is due by Sunday night at midnight, so please tell me what you think of the trailer and what I should change, if anything.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfprB91goIU

Great flick.

Link If director Christopher Nolan's 'Memento' and 'The Dark Knight' got together and made a baby, it might look like his latest film 'Inception,' which stars Leonardo DiCaprio and is about ... well, actually, no one really knows what the heck it's about. Warner Bros. announced the project in...

OK, so what's your favorite '80s "power ballad"? Cheap Trick's "The Flame" gets the nod from me. Not a fan of the band or the music video, and it was actually written by somebody else. I think the song itself beautifully sums up the feelings one has after losing somebody they thought was "The...

I'd have to say Anaconda is the worst move I've ever had the displeasure of watching. There's a few others that make the list as well: Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, The Animal, Blair Witch 2, Date Movie, and See Spot Run.

i've seen some messed up movies in my day - not including horror flicks. just wanted to see what kind of cracked out movies you guys have seen so i can add to my psychosis. 1. gummo - from the delightful mind of the guy that brought us kids. without a doubt the most disturbing movie ever made....

finally listened to the drake cd that came out tuesday, expected it to be a great album, it is just okay

I was unaware they were making a new Predator movie. So glad they are concentrating on the one series instead of trying to cross Aliens and Predator again. Looks like it could be interesting and it actually has a pretty good cast: Adrien Brody, Topher Grace and Laurence Fishburne BCTxC3-f-oA

i dont like it, but the movie is based in ww2 so i guess it looks that time period.

http://movies.yahoo.com/news/usmovies.accesshollywood.com/updated-megan-fox-dropped-from-transformers-3 Well they can probably kiss that franchise goodbye. I hate when sequels are made and new actors/actresses are brought on to fill vacated roles.

Anyone ever watch this? Great flick. I'm just re-watching it again for the first time in ages.

Something along the lines of Saw i guess .... it just looks messed up ! although the trailer kinda makes me laugh at times, because it just seems so dumb, that german surgeon will probably freak people out :lol: can't wait to see it rvuopBG7tBc

I don't know how many of you saw Band of Brothers, but a new series will be premiered today called the Pacific. I am a big fan of BoB and I am anxiously waiting this new series. It chronicles the Marines in their Japanese campaign. It should be good and shows tonight at 9 p.m. on HBO. I'll...

I recommend this movie to everyone. It is one of my favorite comedies of all time. People were saying it was the next Old School. It is twenty times better than Old School :up::up::up:

Went to see The Crazies tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. To me, it is what a horror film should be like. I liked the original Saw movie, but to me the sequels go a little far in the gore factor. The crazies had gore, but it was not over done to much. Plus, while there was cursing, it wasn't...

Can't wait for it to drop March 8th.

For the first 90 minutes, this is one of the best films I have seen this year. I loved the story, atmosphere, and the epic over-the-top suspense music that feels like a 60's horror movie. And then the ending came... Without spoiling the film too much, I have never seen a movie ruined for me as...

All I can say is that if the world really ends in 2012, I sincerely hope it is not as drawn out and filled with plot holes as the movie is. I was thinking that if nothing else, it would have some cool special effects, and it did at times. That does not make up for the fact that it was nearly...

I didnt see a thread, so I thought I would create it and a little review **Spoiler Alert** I am usually disappointed by horror movies because to be perfectly honest 98% are not scare, but HOLY **** this movie creepied me out. I have not slept well in the 3 days since I saw this movie....

Since that communist Bama ruined my "what are you listening to" thread, I figured I would try it out with movies. I saw Julie and Julia last night. Surprisingly good, and Streep channels Child very well.

This is one of the better movies I have seen in a while. I give it a 10/10. It's one of Charlie Chaplin's few talking movies. It was filmed in 1940 just before WWII. He later stated that had he known what the Jews were going through he wouldn't have made this movie. This movie is both funny...
