Watched the 40s version of The Big Sleep. A goody.

Battleship was just on HBO and I watched it. Wow was that movie so atrociously bad. It was fun! :D

Kind of in between.

My laughter at first was because it was just stupid. After another half-hour I suddenly realized that I was having fun. Hard to explain.

Turn off the brain, and just wallow in the absolute ridiculousness.

Ugh. I may have to watch it at some point. Whilst drinking. With many friends who are also drinking. Just to have a chance at laughing at it.

The whole chicken burrito thing, supremely stupid. The battleship coordinates thing, very cheesy, along with the the how the Jeep gets used on the island towards the climax. The main actor was horrible beyond belief, as was the double amputee character. I think the amputee guy must have been an actual soldier they brought in to do some work because he's such a bad actor. Putting Rihanna's character on the skiff's machine gun was beyond stupid. Yet somehow, the whole thing was just fun. It would have been better if Brooklyn Decker would have been running around the island instead of walking, but she was some good candy.

Not a bad idea. It is awful. Liam doesn't even save it.

Wow. That. Is. Bad. ;)

Honestly, I could go for a Saturday bad movie marathon get-together sometime. Start early afternoon, have 4-5 people each bring a movie, watch what we can, and just have a good time.

Agreed. On everything.

Taylor Kitsch (the main guy) is truly bad. John Carter and this movie. Cripes he sucks. Ladies love him though, so we'll see more of him.

yep, thinking too hard about it just takes any from how awesome that movie would have been if they had released it in the 80's.
 
Re: New/Rented Movies: Insert Random Retread Of A Plot

Battleship was just fun, as bad as it was. Unlike that stupid LA movie I forget the name of now.
 
Re: New/Rented Movies: Insert Random Retread Of A Plot

Watched "Let The Right One In" which is some Swedish romance/vampire movie. First off, I have to imagine it's still better than Twilight is. ;) That being said, it really couldn't decide if it wanted to be scary/creepy or romantic. Either way, it was very meh. I don't wish I hadn't watched it, but I could have found better uses of my time.

Ugh, I absolutely hated that movie. I had heard it was supposed to be good, and I believe the book is also supposed to be excellent. But I could hardly get through the movie, just terrible.

The Raven

A really really poor man's cross between 7en and Zodiac. I think they could have made the movie 40-60 minutes longer, and fleshed it out a bit more. Seemed too jumpy for what they were trying to do. Interesting concept, I liked the premise, but the execution failed to fully deliver. There are a couple of nice red herrings in the movie, I will say.

Battleship was my favorite movie of 2012. I've seen it 3 times. The old guys coming out of nowhere on the old school battleship? Holy cripes was that amazing. Yeah this museum is still a fully operational ship with live ammo, duh.
 
Re: New/Rented Movies: Insert Random Retread Of A Plot

Went and saw John McClane do his thing in IMAX. Didn't think it was possible, but he's even more bad *** on the bigger screen. Yippee Ki-Yay...
