Hugo. Good movie. Would've loved this one as a child.

I just watched indie movie, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, which I borrowed from the library. I didn't think it could be too bad, trusting that with Tyler Labine (TV's Reaper) and Alan Tudyke (Firefly) it couldn't be too bad and I'd have to say that I was justly rewarded. It's a cute little movie with some pretty funny bits as a send up of cabin in the woods with likable hillbillies vs. college kids / slasher film.

Yeah it was much better than I thought it would be, alot of funny parts.

I'm just glad they found a dristributor - it had been in the can for a while. One of those films I had been hearing about for a while and was glad to see it made it's way to Netflix streaming. Still haven't gotten around to watching it though.



Caught Red State this weekend (finally). Definitely a departure for Kevin Smith, but I really enjoyed it. Much darker and was very impressed with John Goodman's performance. I think it's been mis-labeled a horror, though - to me, it was much more of a suspense-thriller.

I watched this movie " Shame" with Magneto from X-men first class.



A ton of nudity including man dong, and gratuitous sex including a bunch of dudes goin at it in a *** bar in one scene.



The story is basically about a dude struggling with porn/sex addiction and his relationship with his equally fucked up sister. I've always called bullshit on that even existing until I saw this movie. The guy like literally cant go 5 minutes without rubbing one out or fucking something, he watches porn like all day. I mean if that shit is what its like, I guess there is such thing as "sex" addiction. Hes beating off in the bathroom at work, beating off in his bathroom right after he gets done having sex, fucking prostitutes, fucking chicks against walls he meets at a bar, he fucked this ***** he fucked that ***** he fucked anything that moved and then he needed it so bad he even went to a *** bar to get a blow jay from a dude and then like 20 minutes later fucked 2 prostitutes at the same time. Seriously, his fuckin nuts have to be like "DUDE, WE CANT PRODUCE THIS SHIT THAT FAST". Seriously hes letting one off so much he has to be shooting blanks at some point.



They should have just called the movie "****". Hell, they should have put the icing on the cake and had him **** his sister, I mean I so thought it was gonna happen, because shes all needy, and like naked around him all the time.

I love that you gave that whole review without even mentioning if it was good or bad.

I think its a matter of opinion. There really wasn't much of a story until like the last 5 minutes where shit gets heavy.The guy sits there and fucks, and jacks off all day, while his sister pines for a familial relationship with him that he doesn't seem to care about.



It was entertaining I guess.

 

[supraman]

Shut up Peter

Sounds like one about a talking dick that just cant stop spewing his seed everwhere.

Watched "We Bought a Zoo". Not bad, decent film​

 

[Ymono37]

Finally got around to Horrible Bosses... much funnier than I thought it was. Charlie Day makes everything great.

 

[MassHavoc]

Watched the better part of Bridesmaids, did not like.



Finally watched X-man First class and enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Watched a movie called "the divide" that was pretty decent. about a group of people surviving in a fallout shelter in NYC after a nuclear attack. Kinda fucked up toward the end.





Also saw the latest underworld. And I really like this series of films. They are going off track. the problem is its essentially the 4th movie in a defined storyline and im a little confused I think because the storyline doesnt really relate at all to the events in the first 3 films. It was definitely entertaining. (Celine and Michael (who isnt even in this one but is mentioned) are the only characters that in any way shape or form have a connection to the previous films and the story is brand new).



I think its better to view the prequel > UW 1 > UW 2 as its "trilogy" and this one as the start of a "new" trilogy because without giving anything away on the ending, I will just say it cant get anymore obvious that there is going to be another one.



If you are at all a fan of this series, I think you just may be a little disappointed as all of the previous films were open ended, and I was kind of hoping for something to close out the storyline as they made it seem in part 2 like there was more to it, but I guess not, Its not bad, its just not what I expected.

The wife and I love the entire franchise, we haven't seen the 4th year, but as you say it isn't supposed to really be related, it's more about what happens after all the chaos and destruction from the first three lead to the existence of the two species being discovered by the humans and the fallout from it. Like I said, we haven't seen it yet but plan too and at the end of the day, none of the stories have been really strong but the movies themselves in pace, action, filmography, ect have made them all entertaining. It's kind of like Blade. They are all shit movies but you can't help but like them. They do something right.

dont forget Kate Beckinsale being smoking hot especially with blood all over her grill.

It sure doesn't hurt does it...

I've been largely disappointed with the Underworld series ever since the first movie, and that includes the extended director's cut of the same. There have been movies that are famous for hack jobs being forced upon the director's vision by the studios, The Magnificent Ambersons and Gilliam's Brazil come to mind, but Underworld was not one of them. The extended cut seemed to be more an excuse to squeeze more DVD sales out of teenage fanboys without really adding much except maybe a quick boob shot of the chick from Moonlight and Doctor Who's Madame Pompadour episode in an attempt to emphasize that other than the death dealers, the rest of the vampires really are a bunch of spoiled, decadent, useless nitwits.



The second movie was just a mess. I've seen it twice and really can't recall much of the plot, Michael and Kraven are still horribly acted characters (but thankfully not for long in the later's case) and an unanchored Marcus somehow uses a chain to pull a helicopter out of the sky toward him and not the other way around.



I didn't mind the third movie. <---Damning with faint praise.

I finally got around to watching Bridesmaids. Funny parts, overall was overlong and borrrrrring. 5/10.

Horrible Bosses was funny, surprisingly well shot, and I seem to want to watch it again. 6/10.



I bought the Blu-ray of The Last Starfighter. $10 at Target. Well worth it if you saw it as a kid, but don't waste your time if you think you're going to get anything out of it as a noob. Amazing transfer to 1080p. The effects are painful to watch (some of the first CGI ever used).

Nostalgia heads: 6/10 Everyone else: 4/10

The second movie was focused more on the origin of the vampires and werewolves at the beginning. I agree it wasnt very coherent though, but I think the overall plot was to stop Markus from releasing his rage aholic brother from bondage, because he was like perma wolfed out and anyone he bit turned like instantly, and they literally would have spread across the world like a plague.



I dont know I dont look too much into things with movies like this, if theres good action and the story makes sense I can deal. Thats what I didnt like as much about the new one is that I think it was more I didnt expect what it was about, and in any sense it isnt any better or worse than the previous films. Like you I think Underworld :Rise of the Lycans was my favorite.



I also agree with what you said about separating the vampires as being a bunch of Dandy's other than the death dealers. and one thing that just dawned on me....has there ever been a female werewolf in this entire series? After seeing the new one ive been rewatching the franchise and after 1 and 2 I didnt see a single female werewolf.
