Last movie you watched......

  1. Horrible Bosses was hilarious, and I'm usually a tough sell when it comes to comedies. Its in the style of The Hangover, but its done well enough. Jason Bateman is great, as is Christopher Day, who I'd never seen before

    If you like sci-fi, you have to watch Source Code. Very good movie.

    Adjustment Bureau would have made an amazing TV series like Lost.

    Sucker Bunch just wears you out. It would have been better as a 45 minute movie. Five things? Really? I gotta sit through another battle? It's like eating a gallon of ice cream in one sitting. At some point it becomes too much.

    Charlie Day.

    And neither of the chicks in Change Up got truly naked. Both were digitally...whatever. It was digital. Not real.

    I don't know if I believe Olivia Wilde's (They digitally added my nipples) story.

    Or maybe I just don't want to believe it... :D

    If you want to see Olivia Wilde naked, just watch Alpha Dog. She plays Emile Hirsch's girlfriend.

    I keep seeing the trailers for Final Destination 5, where the big death scene is a bridge collapse. I'm guessing their test audience was not in Minneapolis.
    Seeing as this is only four years removed from that disaster, isn't it a little too soon to release a popcorn flick about it?

    Seriously? Every movie about a natural disaster can be traced back to something.

    Now, 30 Minutes or Less is getting roasted, but that's a news story that's dead on nails. This is just a bridge collapse. Every movie about earthquakes doesn't offend those who lost people in the 1989 quake.

    As soon as I saw the trailers for 30 Minutes or Less, I thought of the news story and was stunned that they'd play that for laughs. Of course, I laughed at some of the jokes in the trailer, but it's still surprising considering the real-life inspiration was more than just a quirky caper.
    With the Final Destination movie, it's a little more specific than an earthquake. Those happen every day around the world. This is something that doesn't happen very often, but did happen in recent memory. The film was obviously put into production after it happened. It's not like they had everything filmed and done, and then the bridge collapsed.
    I'm normally not the most sensitive person around, but this really does seem in poor taste. Given Final Destination's penchant for delivering the goods with the "premonition" scenes, it's got to make some people squirm. I guess I'm just surprised more hasn't been said about it yet.

    I'm absolutely petrified of bridges, and I never made the connection.

    No wonder you hate Pittsburgh so much. ;D

    Between the setting and having actual Steelers in the movie, you might have to skip Dark Knight Rises.
