Me too - saw it Thursday. My friends who worked on it weren't wrong when they said it was horrible. It is SO poorly made. I pray the budget was lower on it than I think it was. If Robert Pattinson wasn't hot it would have been in such trouble. I did enjoy it in the end but it could have been so much better. Poor acting, poor casting, poor cinematography. Though I did hear that a DP I worked with before has been hired for the sequel, so it should look MUCH better.
Had another double feature day, RocknRolla a very very nice crime drama thaat i enjoyed and Dead Like Me: Life After Death a finale to the short lived but enjoyable tv series. Both big recommends in my book
See, I was kinda disappointed in the Dead Like Me movie.... I was a big fan of the series and it just seemed like the movie was lacking that "kick" that the series had..... The movie was OK, but IMHO nothing compared to how good the series was.
I wated Madea Goes to Jail over the weekend..... it was about what I expected it to be.... which wasn't all that much..lol Though I have to admit it did have its moments, but overall wasn't that unique as a movie.
I saw previews for that Haunting in Connecticut movie and it looks really good... can't wait to see it!
Watched the movie "Milk" about the story of gay rights crusader Harvey Milk, its a bit sad watching and him all wide eyed and optimistic knowing how it all ends. However its still an excellent movie
Slumbdog Millionare - FABULOUS movie. The way the story way told was brilliant. It was gritty and raw, yet the whole movie revolved around love. I completely understand why it won an Oscar. I loved it.
So Myself and a few friends decided we wanted to see a terrible movie and went to catch Dragon Ball: Evolution. Calling this movie bad would be an insult to campy bad movies. This was an abomination put to film and served to anime fans everywhere. some quotes from myself and my friends on this movie include "i could have made a better movie if i gave myself a concussion with the original manga," "could only be worst if a new level of hell came into being after viewing it" and my personal favorite "Good if only for the fact that you know everyone involved in it will pay for it by having their careers die painfully" needless to say if you get a copy of this from me for Christmas, its cause i hate you. However everyone please watch it for yourself
I saw Observe and Report a few days ago. It was really funny in the beginning but walked a weird line of seriousness/dark humor in the middle to end and it really just fell short for me.
The drunk mother was the highlight of the movie for me and Anna Faris' drunk dinner date was good but the movie was really lacking.. it was kind of a let down..
I ALSO saw Haunting in Connecticut and it was just AWFUL. I was really surprised Virginia Madsen was in such a hot flaming piece of crap. Do not waste your money on it.. It's not scary in the slightest and I felt like I should get my money back because it was no better than a straight to DVD release.
17 Again - Such a cute movie. The concept isn't that groundbreaking [13 Going on 30 or Big anyone?], but it was a great family movie. Plus, Zac Efron is just gorgeous to look at in it. I mean seriously...he's just too pretty to even be real LOL.
I saw a few films since April, they are as follows:
1.) Fast & Furious - I was really EXCITED to see this film because I felt it was going to be a badass sequel with all of the main stars of the first films. However, I was sorely disappointed for the following reasons / spoilers:
A.) Letty is killed within the first ten minutes of the film. She's murdered and Dominic and Brian join forces to take down her killer. Which in return turns into a revenge film.
B.) None of the first cast are mentioned such as Leon (who was unharmed in the first film), Vince (who was shot in the first film and flown to a hospital), and Jesse (who was shot down by Tran). I believe they are most likely dead because in the film Dominic left Letty to keep her alive.
C.) I'm an avid fan of action but it seemed like they were trying TOO hard here!
D.) The ending was actually cool when Dominic is sentenced to prison and Brian, Mia, and other members of the team break him out.
Obviously, there will be a fifth film but I was left feeling with it was just "okay" not the kind of movie I wanted because of what I mentioned above.
2.) Fighting - My girls and I mainly went to see this film because Channing Tatum was shirtless and so was Brian White. Let me just say Brian White had a nice looking body! Lol. But the film was basically about fighting and earning money for it. There weren't really any twists or turns to it. Just a basic plot and a slight romance for Channing's character. But it wasn't awful either.
3.) Obsessed - My girls and I saw this too and I really liked it! Obviously, it's about a white woman being obsessed with a black man whose married and has a family. I would compare it to fatal attraction. Beyonce stepped up in this film and laid the smack down lol. Even the women in the movie theater were like "get that bitch" lol. It definitely has a few twists and turns but I'd buy it on dvd.
4.) X-Men Origins: Wolverine - I originally was going to wait for this film on DVD. But I gave in because Ryan Reynolds was in it and I really like him. Plus I've always liked the character Dead Pool. Obviously, this movie is a prequel to the three other X-Men films. What I liked about this film was the background and the introduction to characters we haven't seen like Gambit, The Blob, and Dead Pool. There was a hidden scene AFTER the movie and I will reveal the following for those who wish to know later on. Lot's of action, compelling emotion, and just questions we've all wanted answered. I never really read the comics so I can't comment how closely they followed the course of events. Here is what I thought was cool:
A.) The hidden scene at the end of the credits was Dead Pool reaching for his decapitated head after his fight with Wolverine and Victor Creed.
B.) Kayla Silverfox does not die by the hands of Victor Creed. It's meant to believe that which motivates Logan to turn to William Striker and prompts the Weapon X program. But she does die at the end of the film from being shot.
C.) Wolverine was a mutant as a child, something I didn't realize. I assumed it would hit at puberty. He also murders his own father in a fit of rage.
D.) A few characters die at the hands of Victor. John Wraith is one of them. And Chris Bradly is the other one.
I didn't have high expectations for this film but I really loved it. More so than the other X-Men films. Lot's of twists and turns and a few surprises.
Star Trek - Absolutely, 100%, LOVED this movie. My dad got me into Next Generation reruns when I was a kid, and I grew up with Voyager, so i've been a fan of the Star Trek Franchise for years but I never truly got into the original series. But this film was just fantastic--you don't even have to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy it.
The movie completely rejuvenated the Star Trek brand; paying tribute and homeage to the original series with SPOT ON casting [Spock was BRILLIANTLY played by Zachary Quinto, and Chris Pine's Kirk was hilarious, edgy, and gorgeous lol] and catch phrases, but also allowed a new generation of viewers to get the basics of how it all started and reel them into the Trek phenomenon. I think in these circumstances, a prequal [which I know a lot of you aren't fans of] was a brilliant move on the franchises' because it opens up this world to people who may not have liked it or known about it before, and keeps the Star Trek brand alive. I for one and more than ecstatic about that.
I truly TRULY hope that they make a sequal to this movie and continue forward with this cast. Everyone was amazing. The storyline was very creative. The introduction of all the main crew members was great. The effects were CRAZY. Overall, I just loved it.
Watched Slumdog Millionaire finally and boy was it great, i really enjoyed the movie. It was a very emotional story right up until the end. very satisfying watch.
Saw Star Trek, great movie, play homage to the original series and i like the subtle little out for relating it to the timeline for the Trekverse. I would recommend Star Trek for a few watches
Ditto on Transformers 2.... awesome movie, loved it... it was just a bit long I suppose but fortunately it didn't have any 'down' or 'slow' moments in it. :xyxthumbs:

Lets go for the hat trick cause i like Transformers 2 also, my only complaint too much comedy relief. some of the jokes were in bad taste and a little lame but the action was wonderful
I'll second that one! Seems like on some parts they were trying a little bit too hard.... And those two "twin" autobots..... I was having Jar Jar Binks flashbacks, instantly disliked them
