Wanted

Re:Top 5 Completely Over the To ...

"[quote user="indieabby88"] [quote user="leeroy711"] Timur Bekmambetov. directed Night Watch, Day Watch and the new Angelina Jolie movie, Wanted. All of which would have to be described as "over the top" [/quote] My goodness, yes. I haven't yet seen "Wanted," but from the clips, it looks like it's gonna be insane. That shot they show in the trailer where the guy busts through a mirrored skyscraper window...classic Bekmambetov. I didn't know at first that he was directing that movie, but once I did, it made so much sense. As long as we're on the subject of "over-the-top," why don't we put "Teeth" on the list? I just watched it. Offensive, ridiculous and comes complete with b-movie production quality. Pretty much the most disgusting movie a person could make. [/quote] Teeth is a good one! Glad you thought of it because I sure forgot. While I generally have a few problems with the film I thought the concept and how far it went was brilliant. I will bring A L'Interieur to the table.

"I have to say that this is a really bad, bad movie BUT I enjoyed it. It was hilarious, unintentionally I'm guessing. Everything from the dialogue to Mark Walhberg's tortured perfomance had me laughing. There are quite a few quotable lines from this movie: "She's going to the town of Princeton" = hilarious! Poor Zooey Deschanel is just drowning in this movie, as well. I have never seen such bad acting from her and it was slightly depressing. The deaths are kind of cool, considering the rest of the story is so silly people killing themselves is the main thing you have to look forward to. I kept wondering: What will he think of next?! It's pretty creative. I'm not going to get into it but there is a scene with two lions that is just ridiculous. It's cool and gratuitous (which is fun) but it's so awkwardly presented (seemingly tacked on only to assure an R rating) that I just had to laugh. People running away from the wind does not inspire dread but confused glances and giggles. Almost ... " [More]

"I purposely left it broad so any kind of film could be included. So, over the top violence, over the top sex, over the top dialogue, over the top acting...whatever the person deems it, it is so. [quote user="pippin06"] How are we defining "completely over the top nuts?" Maybe I haven't seen enough movies that qualify, but the first poster has some varied movies on the list, and I'm a little confused. [/quote] " [More]

Re:The Happening - Yay or Nay?
By laylor in HORROR MOVIES 101
"I saw it today and it's one of the funniest movies I've seen in awhile. The acting and reactions of the characters are just so silly that you have to laugh. I think it had the potential to be creepy but unfortunately it was executed very badly. A good bad film, though. [quote user="divinemsjunebug"] I haven't seen it yet so please NO SPOILERS if you've seen it... From the Trailer it looks REALLY interesting and very creepy. Has anyone seen a pre-viewing of it and is it worth seeing at the Theater or is it a DVD rental... Just from the scenes of people falling or stepping off the buiding and the man who lays down in front of the mower and the creepy looking skeleton face woman who looked into the window, very cool images, just gave me the creeps BIG TIME. But it's like we have known time after time sometimes the Trailer is better than the movie... [/quote] " [More]

By laylor in HORROR MOVIES 101
"Ever since I saw Arachnophobia as a kid I have not been able to deal with bugs of any sort, especially spiders. That movie had me sleeping in my parent's bedroom for many nights. To this day I get completely scared silly when a big bug scurries around me. I watched the movie a couple of years ago and while I was able to laugh a lot of it off I still shuddered when large amounts of spiders come on screen. I think I am the only person who gets creeped out by 8 Legged Freaks and I squirmed through some of the scenes (giant flies, yargh!) in the recent The Mist. That last story in Creepshow? Forget about it! " [More]

"I can't rate this movie because I do not know if I even liked it. I spent the majority of this film feeling sick to my stomach and cringing. The performances were superb especially by Sam Spruell, who eerily reminded me of Gangster No.1's Paul Bettany throughout the film and Georgia Groome, thirteen years old at the time this was filmed (which helped make me feel even grosser). There are so many elements in this film that I liked: The story, the performances, the gritty backdrop but I did not like the characters. To enjoy a movie I have to want to spend time with the people on screen and I could not for the life of me even pretend I wanted to know these people. They're decision making process, moral compasses completely overwhelmed me. So that does not a bad film make but over twenty-four hours later I still do not know what to make of it. " [More]

Ghost Rider: A bit of Alright

"I had an assignment to do for my Western Cinema class which was to pick a film that immediately did not seem like a Western but has elements of it at it's core. Rather than do the obvious and pick Serenity I picked another obvious film: Ghost Rider. The first time I watched it, I thought it was ridiculous. I thought that Wes Bentley was extremely miscast and not at all threatening, I thought Donal Logue's character was random and not given enough to do and I didn't like Eva Mendez very much either. After multiple viewings (for the essay) I softened a bit and while I still think those things, there are positive parts of the movie as well. Peter Fonda doing a pretty okay impression of his father, the action is pretty good (although it does take quite awhile to get to any real hint of a threat), Sam Elliot is awesome as always and I actually liked Cage's performance. I had my doubts about him at first because he's usually so hammy and distracting he sinks the picture right along with ... " [More]
