New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

Murderball:

Awesome awesome documentary on the US Olympic Quadriplegic Rugby team. They cover how the sport is played, the players involved, and the recovery process of a quad.

These guys are friggin' intense. For example, Mark Zupan (arguably the "star" of the movie) says at one point (paraphrased): "I'll start talking sh* to some jerk, and he'll kinda just stand there. What, you can't hit a guy in a chair? * off. I'll *ing hit back, dude." :D

Good insight of the sport, and probably answers some questions about quads that you didn't think of asking. There are some touching moments, too, one in which involves a recent quad and Zupan.

I highly recommend watching this movie. You won't regret it.

Ummm. I'd like to know how a quad would hit anyone - with his tongue? :confused: I think you mean paraplegic. See quad means four so a quad has lost the use of all four limbs, para means two so a para has lost the use of two, typically his legs.

I've not seen it, but don't people largely regard that as an awful awful movie?
 
Re: New/Rented movies: Here comes the movie to change all movies

Finally saw Holmes. I thoroughly enjoyed it. You have to accept going in that it's Kung-Fu-Sherlock, but once you buy that, it's fun. Excellent gritty London / steampunk.

Yes.
Saying that, I've seen it quite a few times, more because it humors me.
Quite the rock opera. ;)
 
The Girlfriend Experience. I love the concept of the movie, which forces the viewer to fit pieces of the present and future together to gain the storyline, I enjoyed much of the dialogue, the direction and I appreciated the fact only one character was played by an actor. But in the end it came across as overly pretentious and hollow. A movie lacks depth when every character (including escorts, their pimps/agents, their johns, roommates, co-workers and everyone they know) is an intellectuctual seemingly capable of discussing at length foreign policy, economics and existentialism with equal aplomb. I found myself not really caring what happened to anyone and was bored stiff by the end.

I think they would be better off waiting a few years before doing it. Spidey 4 seemed like a mess from the word go (as does the Venom movie which too sounds like a half-hearted reboot) and a reboot now back seems like a replacement for the movie that fell through.

I watched this a few weeks ago and came to about the same conclusions.

Wrong. They explain that in the movie. :p

And from wiki: Quadriplegia, also known as tetraplegia, is paralysis caused by illness or injury to a human that results in the partial or total loss of use of all of their limbs and torso;...

They are rated from 1-3 points, depending on how severe their quadriplegia is, and there can only be "8 points" amongst 4 (IIRC) teammates on the court at a time.

Yeah, Personally, I've always thought they would have been a lot better off doing Spiderman 3 as two movies, having the end right about as the symbiont and Eddie team up to become Venom, and then just have another movie thats just Spidey vs. Venom. It could have been easily done if they had filmed both movies together. But I digress.

If they're going to do a reboot, they might as well wait a couple of years to do it then. Personally, I wouldn't think about doing anything thats New Spidey until about 2015 or so, give the public a chance to accept somebody else as the new Spiderman.

Ok...that is going to RULE!

I have a feeling this A-Team might actually hit people with bullets instead of always missing like the previous one :D

It was made solely with the intent to be Best Picture but wasn't.

Too long and not good enough to see in theatres, but still on most people's "want to see" list thus it got rented?

The things I would do to Bradley Cooper... *sigh*

Anyway, moving on, watching Kissing Jessica Stein. Not new, not groundbreaking, but definitely fun. :)
