Movie Thread (Reviews)

[Mojo]

Jennifer's Body- That movie was AWFUL!!! That's all I can say..

[Tully Blanchard]

Just got back from watching Clash of the Titans. Not a bad remake at all. I probably should've watched the 3-D version for the full effect.

[Mojo]

Yeah, there's a few movies out that I want to see. I also want to see Date Night.

[BionicCommando]

I just watched this movie called Domino. It's about this female bounty hunter in California. Movie was tight. Good action, and production. Got a lot of movie stars in it too. I never heard of it but its worth watching if you got an HDTV.

[korleon]

Yeah, there's a few movies out that I want to see. I also want to see Date Night.

me too as well as
Death At A Funeral and Hot Tub Time Machine

[Tully Blanchard]

I saw Date Night yesterday. It was pretty funny.

[Mojo]

Up In the Air was pretty good

[Qwasian]

Avatar is sick in blu-ray format...........

Bounty Hunter Was Funny I pretty good movie.......

Kick Ass was ok, not really my thing w/ the whole comic book shit, I thought it was supposed to be a comedy joint but it was actually a real comic book type of movie w/ a small twist.... not really that great to me

[Mojo]

I saw Date Night yesterday. It was pretty funny.

Saw it today. I thought it was funny. I wasn't falling out of my chair, but it was funny.

[Mojo]

Sherlock Holmes wasn't too bad.

[Broadway Joe]

Man i haven't seen a great new movie in a loooong time. Even the last 3 or 4 Oscar winners have been mediocre at best. I think The Departed might be the last great one I've seen. Doubt had great acting, but the story was a bit weak.

[korleon]

just saw The Losers and I liked it
good action, some of the acting was eeeh, but the movies was cool

it was like a knock-off A-Team type group but it worked

but there is another movie coming out called the Expendables.... STAR-STUDDED CAST

[Mojo]

I watched Hurt Locker yesterday. It was pretty good. I felt like I was watching someone play Call of Duty though.

[Mojo]

I finally watched Precious. It was a pretty decent flick. I can't stand Monique, but she played the hell out of that role. She was very convincing.

[korleon]

saw Iron Man 2 last week and I enjoyed it
they are doing a good job setting up the next movies in the marvel universe

[Eso]

Just saw Iron Man 2 yesterday and it was better than the first to me. I picked up on a lot of inside stuff that probably would have meant more to me if I actually read the comics as a kid.

[T-MADDY]

I have some hang ups with that movie...I remember sitting in there like, didn't he just get done fighting these same robots in iron man one? out the whole movie theres like 10 minutes of him being iron man.

[Nah]

^^??
He was in the suit for half the movie.

I like how RDJ advanced the Tony Starks role with his dialogue.


I saw Get Him To The Greek over the weekend. I enjoyed it. It was more entertaining than all out funny. It's this summer's The Hangover, just maybe not as funny. I did keep a smile on my face for the whole movie though. Diddy actually acted in this movie, opposed to just showing up. I don't wanna say this movie makes Russell Brand a star, because I don't know any other roles he could do besides this character. I want to see it on DVD so I can rewind some scenes of the movie. I feel like there was never a dull moment in the movie. The plot (somewhat) reminds me of Funny People, just substitute the satire for slapstick.

I give it :cool::cool::cool::cool: (out of five)

[T-MADDY]

^^??
He was in the suit for half the movie.



if I remember right.

1. at that convention in the opening about 2min
2. racetrack about 1min (from when he actually puts it on.)
4.house party about 5min
5.last fight about 7 min

so 15 minutes

[Gifted]

Y'all got any recommendations on new movies....

i finally set up my netflix wit the xbox so I need some titles to check out....

I like action, suspense, drama, and movies with twist endings....whats new (or an older classic)....

[Qwasian]

karate kid was a pretty cool family movie to me...........

[Mojo]

Watch the Party Down series on Netflix.

From Paris With Love was decent

[korleon]

just set up netflix on my xbox, wii, and laptop... and cancel my cable prem channels

[B.G.]

Rented a few flix to watch over the weekend:

Date Night
Kick Ass
The Ghost Writer
Unthinkable
Brooklyn's Finest
Kick-Ass
Green Zone

So far I've watched Date Night, and I'm watching Unthinkable right now as I type. Date Night was funny. Steve Carrell (dude from the Office and the 40 Year Old Virgin) delivers once again!! Unthinkable stars Samuel L. Jackson. It appears to be one of those domestic terrorists - find the bomb flicks. It got good reviews so I'm hoping I'll enjoy it. I'll update on the other 4 movies over the weekend once I watch them.

[AliAllWorld]

just set up netflix on my xbox, wii, and laptop... and cancel my cable prem channels

I just set up netflix earlier this summer and it's been a wrap. I showed wifey how to use it and I have not seen my wii since.

Netflix signed a deal last week with Paramount and some other studio......Sept 1 they are going to like double the amount of movies they have already.

[B.G.]

Unthinkable was a dope ass flick!!! Probably the best screenplay of the year. Go bootleg/rent/buy/download that movie!!

[Mojo]

Korleon, how did getting Netflix enable you to cancel your premium channels? The only premium channel that Netflix streams is Starz.

[B.G.]

Kick Ass was a really entertaining movie. The little girl in there was a beast in the action scenes.

[Mojo]

I think I'm gonna go ahead and put that on my Netflix queue. I thought Date Night was pretty funny also.

[Gifted]

I didn't know netflix streamed to blu-ray players, and that shit is free...i been paying xbox gold for nothing.

[Gifted]

Saw Expendables yesterday....

It had its definite action movie moments...but I don't know, I think it could have had way more potential. I guess they blew the budget on the cast because some of the effects they used were cheesy...the same special effects they use in those straight to dvd movies...I wished a bigger studio had picked up the movie cuz it should have been on the level of a Bad Boys 2, Transformers shit...It pretty much is a Stallone/Statem flick...the rest of the cast is in it but play minor roles. Plot was very cliche'...cheesy, predictable.

But besides that, I can't lie, I enjoyed it enough to recommend it. It's just good to see fellas shooting up shit on screen......check it out, but maybe at matinee price...

[korleon]

I saw Expendales and feel much the same as gifted

thought the movie needed some work with the storyline and moved slowly at first but the last 20-25 minutes was a blast, literally... lol

Probably go see The Takers this Sunday

[Mojo]

Unthinkable was a dope ass flick!!! Probably the best screenplay of the year. Go bootleg/rent/buy/download that movie!!

I checked that out tonight. That joint was pretty wild.

[Gifted]

word, I got that Unthinkables joint from netflix....and fell asleep on it....I was underwhelmed. I'ma have to watchi it again then...

[Mojo]

Yeah, definitely watch it again. I woke up thinking about that joint. lol

[Jeff Sticks]

The Expendables was wack

[Mojo]

I've had Legion at home from Netflix for like two weeks. I keep procrastinating on watching it because I've heard how wack it is. At the same time I feel stupid for still having it because if it's as terrible as everybody says it was that means I've had it for an extended amount of time when I could've had something else. I'm gonna try and check it tonight before True Blood comes on.

[korleon]

i have had ninja assassin for a week or two so i am watching it now so I can send it back...lol

too gory buy the fighting is cool

[Mojo]

Wow... Legion was as awful as advertised. Such a disappointment because the premise seemed like it could've been cool with angels coming to earth and all of that. If you have Netflix don't even add it on your queue. Now, like I said earlier, I feel stupid for keeping it in my house for two weeks.

[T-MADDY]

I cant believe theres a new resident evil movie. I havent been following but it feels like theres been about 7 of them joints already. how long is that story?lol

[Mojo]

I watched Cop Out last night. I thought it was pretty funny. Tracey Morgan is just funny for no reason. Seann William Scott (Stifler) is hilarious. His few parts alone were worth the rental.

[Broadway Joe]

That movie was terrible to me. Only part I remotely laughed at was when stifler fell off the house.

[king]

I thought cop out was hilarious


Death at a funeral not so much maybe a small handful of funny parts

[Mojo]

Clash of the Titans, like Legion, was horrible. I think what made it worse, like Legion, was that it had so much potential. That Percy Jackson movie was better than Clash of the Titans.

[Mercury]

I think Cop Out was the worst movie I seen all year, and I'm usually easily entertained. I don't think I laughed one time.

[Mojo]

I wasn't falling in the floor or anything but I thought it was funny.

[Mojo]

Watched the Hot Tub Time Machine tonight. It wasn't too bad. It was cheesy, but there were some funny parts.

[Qwasian]

I thought cop out was funny..........


TAKERS is a MUST SEE............ 5 stars all day

[Mojo]

I'm gonna go check that out tomorrow.

[Tully Blanchard]

Finally saw Inception last night. It was a pretty good suspense flick.

[Mojo]

Takers was surprisingly very good.

Chris Brown was friggin Spider Man in that joint.

[Qwasian]

yeah I liked that joint alot, it was a str8 classic to me....... T.I. was a muthafucka in that joint. lol

[Mojo]

Finally watched Why Did I Get Married Too. It was a pretty good flick, but the ending was wack. All that drama and build up and they just ended it so abruptly.

[Gifted]

Finally watched Why Did I Get Married Too. It was a pretty good flick, but the ending was wack. All that drama and build up and they just ended it so abruptly.

it shipped out today on my netflix...since the ending was wack is it worth watching? I got some other shit to catch up on...

[Mercury]

this gonna sound wack but I'm so amped to see takers because of the reviews that I think I might go see it by myself. I got a date but she made me miss the last showing with her tardiness.

[Mojo]

it shipped out today on my netflix...since the ending was wack is it worth watching? I got some other shit to catch up on...

Nah, it's worth watching. If you liked the first one at all you'll like this one too. Black Dynamite's wife is pretty funny. She is almost worth watching it by herself, mainly because I know somebody like her.

this gonna sound wack but I'm so amped to see takers because of the reviews that I think I might go see it by myself. I got a date but she made me miss the last showing with her tardiness.

My wife does that to me almost every time. lol

[Qwasian]

Finally watched Why Did I Get Married Too. It was a pretty good flick, but the ending was wack. All that drama and build up and they just ended it so abruptly.

I thought it was cool but alot of people told me it was better than the first, it seemed like the same story over w/ added drama, lol

[Tully Blanchard]

I went and saw Takers last night. I didn't think that it would live up to the hype, but that movie reeked of AWESOMENESS!!

I FINALLY took Shutter Island off of DVD ice and watched that too. It was a good suspense movie.

[Mercury]

I finally saw Takers last night too. Ayo C-Breezy was on SKATES!!

[Mr.T]

I've had Legion at home from Netflix for like two weeks. I keep procrastinating on watching it because I've heard how wack it is. At the same time I feel stupid for still having it because if it's as terrible as everybody says it was that means I've had it for an extended amount of time when I could've had something else. I'm gonna try and check it tonight before True Blood comes on.

That p.o.s. was recommended to me...I rented it..It's horrible...and I cursed my homie out till just last week lol....but he redeemed himself with the Kick Ass suggestion....that shit kicked ass......I get my shit from BTJunkie(thumbs up to Goliath for the torrents!) But I will get Unthinkable based on you guys' suggestion. I Also saw "Salt" that was cool as hell ....I give it 3.5 out of 5 DZ stars

[Dro]

saw machete the other night. basically its guns/machetes, over the top violence, and then some boobies. in that order haha.

i thought it was dope. trejo and cheech marin held it down.

[Mojo]

Upping for some more suggestions. I've been renting some real drinkers on Netflix and Red Box.

Stone was horrible.

[Plain Ole Me]

Spike Lee's When The Levees Broke

[Qwasian]

I don't think they are available for rent yet

but fast five was dope..... hangover 2 was funny, but wasn't exactly classic to me, it did have some pretty funny parts though

those were the last 2 I've seen theatre wise, and I probably go see transformers the first day it drops.

[Mojo]

Yeah, I still have to check out Fast5 and Hangover.

[Plain Ole Me]

Fast 5 was dope, I dont like white people movies so hangover sucked to me.. not a fan of seeing the male anatomy save my own. #kanyeshrug. Transformers 3 on Independence day @ Imax I'll be there.

[Wallace341]

Super 8 was aight, worth going to see in the theater for the jump out ur seats moments but kind of a let down...you'll def enjoy "watching it" but after it's over you'll feel cheated...like "wtf?" but worth checking out if you can see it for less than 10 bucks...

[Tully Blanchard]

I heard that Hangover sequel was dumpster juice on a hot summer afternoon.

The X-Men joint was cool. Thor was way better than I expected.

I just saw Just Go With It on Blu-Ray. It was about what you'd expect from Adam Sandler. Not fall out the chair funny, but it has it's moments.

[Mojo]

Yeah, I just saw that Adam Sand,er joint too. Very predictable and not hilariously funny.

Any other renta suggestions?

[Mojo]

Just saw that they're showing Fast 5 at the $4 theater by George Mason. I might have to check that out this week. They have $2 Tuesday's but I don't feel like going today.

[B.G.]

The Hangover Part II was funny. I would say it's on par with the first one.

I'm hoping to see Waiting for Superman later this week (it's next up on my Netflix queue).

30 for 30: The Fab Five is one of the best sports documentaries I've ever seen. I put it right up there with Hoop Dreams and The Street Stops Here.

[Plain Ole Me]

waiting for superman was pretty good just gotta filter thru the propaganda it's not as bad as the lil video Sticks posted

[Dro]

Street Kings 2 (C-)
Swat 2 (C-)

those movies have sequels? i see street kings has ray liotta in it, but it looks awful.

[The Dre Era]

Movies are so garbage these days

[Plain Ole Me]

those movies have sequels? i see street kings has ray liotta in it, but it looks awful.
Yayo is in SWAT 2.. Pinky (Clifton Powell) is in Street Kings 2
Movies are so garbage these days
You gotta sift through the trash to find treasure, sucks but it is what it is.

[B.G.]

Mainstream Movies are so garbage these days

Fixed.


However, there are a few gems in the independent ranks.

[Mojo]

Just watched True Grit...wack.

Fios has hbo free for 3 months so I just added that for True Blood.

[Dro]

what didnt you like about true grit? i thought it was great.

if you have hbo also check out game of thrones, first season just finished up last week.

[Mojo]

Yeah, I'm gonna check out Game of Thrones after i finish Treme.

True Grit was just boring to me.

[B.G.]

I watched Waiting for Superman the other day. It didn't wow me like I was expecting. Then again, a lot of the information presented was already brought up in a similar documentary I watched called The Lottery. Matter of the fact, the older black guys they interview in this documentary (Geoffrey Canada) was also featured in The Lottery. I have two more education system based documentaries in my queue that should be arriving tomorrow called The First Year and I Am a Promise: Stanton Elementary.

[B.G.]

I recommend I Am a Promise: The Children of Stanton Elementary School, especially to anyone born between the years 1980 - 1985. It profiles an inner-city elementary school in North Philadelphia. This documentary was filmed in 1993, so the children featured are our age now. It really shows how societal problems and the home environments these kids live in have the greatest effect on their educational potential. Parents are quick to blame the schools for not doing its job, but it's really the parents failing to do theirs.

The First Year was decent too. It follows a group of teachers in their first year at various inner-city schools in Los Angeles.

[Plain Ole Me]

what if we were born in 86? lol.. ima ask my mom about this school she grew up in philly

[B.G.]

what if we were born in 86? lol.. ima ask my mom about this school she grew up in philly

LOL, I guess that would work too. That puts you around the age of 7 when this movie was filmed, so yeah, you would be the same age as the kids featured here too.

[Jeff Sticks]

What if we were born in 1883?

[B.G.]

What if we were born in 1883?

Your ass should be chilling in a grave somewhere then LOL.

[Plain Ole Me]

anyone got a link for that?

[Mojo]

I watched that movie called Cedar Rapids with Andy from The Office and Clay Davis. It's kinda dumb, but certain parts were side splitting funny.

[korleon]

Captain America was cool, I liked it

[B.G.]

If you want to watch a documentary that will piss you off about the current gas situation, check out the film Gas Hole.

[B.G.]

Another film I recommend is Classified X. It's a documentary by Melvin Van Peeples which documents the history of early black cinema and blacks portrayal in early white cinema.

[Plain Ole Me]

If you want to watch a documentary that will piss you off about the current gas situation, check out the film Gas Hole.

[B.G.]

If you're a Netflix instant streaming subscriber and like urban films, I highly recommend the movie Shot. It's about a photographer who befriends a young boy in South Central LA, then gets mixed up with some gangbangers who invited him along to take pictures one day. It came out around 2001.

Oh boy that played young Roland on The Wood is in it (I don't remember his real name off hand). Most of the urban films on Netflix are corny with bad acting and stuff, but this one is pretty decent.

[Mojo]

The Friends With Benefits joint is pretty good. It's better than No Strings Attached, which essentially has the same theme. Something about Mila Kunis does it for me.

Jumping the Broom was decent. I'd give it a B-

Limitless was good. B

[Mojo]

I watched that Madea's Big Happy Family. I see why it went straight to DVD. The acting was worse than usual. How's Bow Wow gonna be the best actor in the movie? Teyana Taylor was kinda funny with that Byrrrrroooooooon. Very predictable and the jokes were tired.

[Mojo]

Also watched Thor, which was pretty wack but not as wack as I thought it would be.

[korleon]

I liked Thor

Comic Book Movies aren't usually going to offer you what The Dark Knight gave you

[Plain Ole Me]

I reccomend Sometimes In April starring Idris Elba, it was good.

Jumping the Broom was decent. I'd give it a B-


Thats kinda high, best part of the movie, "actually my family owned slaves"
..dead.

[Plain Ole Me]

we need more reccomendations for those of us w/o netflix, please & thank you

[SyncereOne]

I'm 99.9% sure that movies that are Netflix are available elsewhere. I could be wrong though....

[Qwasian]

real steel was a good ass movie =0)

[Plain Ole Me]

I'm 99.9% sure that movies that are Netflix are available elsewhere. I could be wrong though....

duh i just meant that thread is netflix specific and there are plenty of movies that aren't on netflix

[Qwasian]

killer elite was probably the worst movie i've seen in a long time, that joint was fucking terrible..... I almost turned it off but I was trying to wait it out, and it still sucked all the way through

[Mojo]

Bad Teacher was pretty good. I wasn't falling out of my chair laughing, but it was humorous.

[Mojo]

Horrible Bosses is another one that was pretty funny although I wasn't falling out laughing.

[king]

killer elite was probably the worst movie i've seen in a long time, that joint was fucking terrible..... I almost turned it off but I was trying to wait it out, and it still sucked all the way through

The movie doesnt even sound good based off of the title.

[Mojo]

The fam hit the redbox a few times this week.

Captain America- To me, it wasn't nearly as good as people made it out to be.

Fast 5- this might have been the best of the fast and furious series. This one was dope, and I didn't really have Interest in seeing them joints anymore. I haven't seen 3 or 4, so I didn't really understand the very last scene with the photos.

Super8 was decent. It wasn't great but it was worth the $1.20.

[Plain Ole Me]

Green Lantern was weak to me.
Friends With Benefits was like the caucasian version of Hitch, it was just okay..
Bridesmaids, not funny..
Closing Escrow amusing..
Transformers 3, weak in comparison to its predecessor.
30 Minutes or Less, if it wan't for Aziz this movie wouldn't be bearable

[Mojo]

I'm glad I didn't get green lantern.

I thought bridesmaids was funny just not as funny as people made it out to be.

I thought friends with benefits was good too. Probably because I like Mila Kunis.

[Plain Ole Me]

man i need a super dvdrip, ever since i got my revue no more redbox

[Mercury]

i cant really give my movie reviews because I'm gonna say everything was aight. I can't remember the last VERY GOOD movie i saw, and I can't remember the last BAD movie I've seen. Everything was straight for the most part LOL

If it has a plot, sticks to it, and the acting is decent, I can watch it. My main complaint about movies I DON'T like is the lack of story.

[Mojo]

I watched Big Mommas on Cinemax yesterday. It was pretty predictable and for the most part sucked, but it was bearable.

[B.G.]

My main complaint about movies I DON'T like is the lack of story.

That's the main thing I look for in any movie nowadays, regardless of the genre.

[Mercury]

That's the main thing I look for in any movie nowadays, regardless of the genre.

it doesn't even have to be a good story with me LOL...just a story PERIOD.

Like one movie i didnt really like was "death at a funeral". Beyond it being kinda dumb (which is fine, I'll watch a dumb movie ALL day long)...it had NO story whatsoever. Even a dumb story would've sufficed. Hell, I watch those Harold and Kumar movies like its the greatest thing on earth so I didnt need a Schindler's list. But literally NOTHING happened in that flick

[Mojo]

I still need to see the Harold and Kumar Christmas flick. I thought the first two were hilarious, but I haven't heard anything aout the new one which leads me to believe it wasn't funny.

[Mercury]

I still need to see the Harold and Kumar Christmas flick. I thought the first two were hilarious, but I haven't heard anything aout the new one which leads me to believe it wasn't funny.

I think people are waiting for it to hit HBO where they will show it daily like the other 2 LOL

[Wallace341]

Devi's Double is by far the best movie i've seen in quite some time. It may have been special to me because i admire psychopaths but from somone with a security background who operates out of the Middle East I LOVE IT!!!. I suggest everyone go to Redbox and pick it up, you won't be disappointed.

[Mojo]

Watched Crazy Stupid Love on HBO the other night. It was pretty good. Kinda chickflickish, but it was funny.

[B.G.]

it doesn't even have to be a good story with me LOL...just a story PERIOD.

I agree. Every movie needs a story. And the story itself determines how good the movie will be in most cases. The general consensus is that comedies just need to be funny, but they need good stories too. The audience has to get a sense that the characters are trying to achieve something, and the comedy is suppose to supplement the journey, not replace it.

That's why I feel the Harold and Kumar and Hangover movies work so well. They're hilarious as hell, but you also want to see the characters reach their respective goals, i.e. find their lost friend (Hangover), escape from Guantanamo Bay (Harold and Kumar), or pay Big Worm his money by 10PM (Friday).

[Gifted]

are there any good movie download sites left?
or with torrents?
