That Film You Bootlegged Recently, What Is It?

[Brooklyn Luckfield]

District 9.

Cool film, but I'd say it's pretty overrated personally.

[Professor Vogler]

Finally... I finally saw it.

Watchmen


And it was awesome. I'm definitely quoting from that movie.

[The Final Negotiator]

I've been "catching up" on my movie watching:

From the library:
Big Mama's House...2?!? - Oops, we never saw the 1st one... Oh well, at least we got to try out our laptop's DVD feature (Oooooo... Widescreen... Very nice...) The movie was OK, too, although our earphones weren't working well on the plane.
Knocked Up - Messed up and funny. I loved it...

from our rental subscription:
The Bucket List (2nd viewing) - Good movie, for both guys and gals... Mostly funny, even considering the subject matter...
Paul Blart: Mall Cop - Boy have critics panned this film. I don't know if it's because it's a tried and true Happy Madison film (with a Happy Madison cast), or something else. However, I really liked this movie. So it's got some silly stuff, so what? That doesn't hurt a film in my eyes. If you're not looking for great drama, this one's OK...

Transformers 2

I was thinking "well it can't be that bad can it?".

I was wrong.

Yeah, TF2 was no masterpiece... Sometimes better than TF1, sometimes worse... I still consider it an OK movie for it's good scenes (slightly more good than bad scenes). However, I still don't like how they portray "Mr. & Mrs. Sparkplug", and even I, mediocre writer that I am, could have written some scenes/dialog better... It would help alot if they studied the back story more...

[R. Rocky Horror]

"Taking Woodstock" slow but good.

[Brooklyn Luckfield]

The Snuke (South Park)

Good times.

[The Final Negotiator]

Finally got to catch up on a few older movies:

"Meet Dave" (Eddy Murphy) - Good movie. Seemed like MIB crossed with Galaxy Quest, with a little Honey I Shrunk the Kids (just a little, though). Very slickly done. Humor, but not alot of over-the-top stuff. Short (90 minutes), but entertaining.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (Johnny Depp) -  I really liked this film. Great character portrayals, very subtle special effects, great attention to the details of the original story, and tributes to the first film. I also like how they tell about Wonka's childhood. However, I still like the 1st movie (especially when Wilder calmly says "Wait. Stop. Don't.", instead of yelling "Wait! Stop! Don't!" when the bad kids choose to put themselves in harms way). I guess I like them equally...

"Orange County" - Good film. Kind of weird at times, but a good film.

Transformers Season 2 Vol. 2

Old school goodness.

[EyeOfPain]

Zombieland

Not quite what I expected, but still awesome.

[The Final Negotiator]

Finally, I got to watch "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" on Monday. I'll grant that it's a little different from his usual movies. I think he wanted you to laugh and think a little (about "the American dream" and not believing stereotypes). It made for a nice birthday...

"You Don't Mess with the Zohan"

When this first came out I thought it looked stupid.

Then I saw it on HBO once and I liked it. Adam Sandlers movies since Happy Gilmore pretty much suck. But this was legitimately amusing I thought.

AMC is running the original Night of the living dead currently, as its haloween. If you have not seen this go watch it right now or I will never respect you.

Paranormal Activity

It had some refreshing ideas, but ultimately underwhelming.

Oh, watching horror movies in Baltimore theaters: ghetto people pointing out everything that's happening on the screen.

Old School Transformers, Season 1.

[UKLN8860]

 

[The Final Negotiator]

Finally saw WALL^.E. Good movie.

Couples Retreat with Mrs. Negotiator. We got free tickets, so I can't really complain, but this movie was just OK, even though it does have Vince Vaughan in it.

Old School Transformers, Season 1.

Yeah, I got that one, too, and I'm really looking forward to watching it. Hey, Optimus made the cover of Target's Christmas...um...I mean "Holiday" Toy Catalog. (Note the bells on the LEGO toy):
