New/Rented Movies : Pixar actually made a bad movie

Re: New/Rented Movies : Pixar actually made a bad movie

I watched Spike Lee's Miracle at St. Anna. I enjoyed the story, but it could have been a much better movie. The ending was.... odd.

Just discovered Netflix is blocked at work. :mad:

Contagion was tepid. Matt Damon's character was completely superfluous and could have been cut after the opening 10 minutes. Nothing either memorable or bad about the movie, just blah. A huge budget should get you more than slightly better than a Saturday SyFy channel disaster flick.

If you consider a grade of "C" being only slightly better than a SyFy movie, that pretty much sums up the reason you don't have much credibility when it comes to your movie opinions. ;)

Movies are graded according to their scope and purpose (so for example there could be an "A" SyFy movie -- though to be fair I haven't seen one. Maybe "Piñata."). Otherwise everything since 1955 would be an "F."

Edit: staggarlingly, Piñata is NOT an original SyFy movie. Ice Spiders is, however!

Wait, hold on. They're remaking Highlander?

Why?

Don't they do that about every 5 years?

The only way this works is if Connery's role is played by... Connery.

It works better as originally written:

"What's the difference between you and a mallard with a cold? One's a sick duck and I can't remember how it ends, but your mother's a whore."
 
Re: New/Rented Movies : Pixar actually made a bad movie

Watched "All In" tonight. Took a chance, since it has Dominique Swain, and more importantly Michael Madsen AND Louis Gossett Jr. Yeah, that's the first clue.

Horrible story, acting, ending. I mean, I guess I was interested enough to see how the story (predictably) ended, as in how they'd spin it, but that's it. Because of that, it wasn't 90 minutes I wanted back, but it was close. It just reeked of a USA Up All Night Movie, without the good parts. ;)

Even the poker scenes were so horrible, a total numbnuts could read the hands/predict the outcome/guess what the player will do. I mean, at least try to make it look realistic.
 
Re: New/Rented Movies : Pixar actually made a bad movie

Ah, Natural Born Killers is on. Thank goodness for an awesome movie.

I likened it to "The Wall" for my generation: totally *ed up movie, with a message, done smartly.

Edit: although, I still wonder what Tarantino would have done differently with the script. I mean, Stone and Tarantino are both nuts, it's just a different kind of crazy between them.

Haven't seen that yet.

NBK is a top 10 (at least) movie for me. The satire/social commentary message is beyond awesome. I mean, it really nailed it. And the movie was pretty much pre-internet, which adds to the fervor.

"Drive" is a great movie.

I imagine a lot of people will like it. It's the kind of movie Tarantino would make except he would have had a lot more dialogue and would've gone over the top with everything. Drive was subtle and that made it unique and pretty awesome.

I loved it. But I still love Tarantino too.

Yeah, it's the kind of movie Tarantino would make if everything about him was exactly opposite. ;)
