Terminator Salvation (2009)
Huge Disappointment
I went and saw this movie last night at the Drive-in and i have to be honest, it was a huge disappointment.
I thought it could of been done way better, in fact on my way i home i thought to myself, did the director watch the other 3 terminator movies before he made this one? Whoever wrote this script, did he watch the other 3 movies before he wrote this disaster? I did like the landscape of the cities, but other than that i thought the story line was terrible, i thought the acting was terrible, the fight scenes with the terminators and humans were pathetic.
The huge terminators were the only thing that was vastly unique, oh and the motorcycles were cool, but other than that i wasn't impressed.
And how does one guy just walk into Skynet? I mean cmon, if it was that easy, the war should of been over along time ago.
John Connor was supposed to be the leader of the resistance, yet he was taking orders from command??? Seems to be he should of been the one in charge of all the other resistance groups instead of just a leader of one resistance group.
I guess maybe i just expected a lot more, maybe i had in my own mind what it would of been like.
This is a typical Hollywood sequel that ignores the art of a classic film and rushes out sequels to capitalize financially on the original films popularity.
Could of been done a lot better in my opinion
The Hangover (2009)
Funny
I went and watched this movie last night at the drive in along with the new terminator movie, i went to basically see terminator and this was playing along side of TS. I liked this movie more than i did Terminator.
When it first started i thought it was going to be a stupid comedy, but i found myself laughing at quite a few different scenes.
The only thing i didn't like was the Pedophile jokes, and the director should be ashamed for trying to find humor in adults having sex with minors.
Other than that, it was a fun film, i give it 5 stars out of 10
Monster's Ball (2001)
Couldn't wait for it to end
What a boring movie, I can not believe i sat thru the whole thing without falling to sleep. Billy Bob Thorton has got to be the worst actor in Hollywood.
I thought the beginning was slow and stunk, i thought the middle was slow and stunk and i know the ending was slow and stunk.
If any of you out there is thinking of buying this movie out of the Walmart 5 dollar bin like I did, I strongly suggest that you save your five bucks, you will be glad you did.
Halle Berry is Hot, and seeing her partially naked is the only thing that is preventing me from killing myself for wasting 5 bucks on this terrible and i mean terrible movie.
I gave this movie a 1 because there wasn't the option of giving it a ZERO!!!!
Fargo (1996)
Decent Flick
Ya, I watched this movie the other night and i have read a lot of the comments that have been posted so far, and I neither think this is a great movie, nor did I hate it.
A lot of unanswered questions in this movie tho which i did not like, for instance, why did Jerry need all that money for?? Did he have a gambling problem??? A drug addiction?? Or was it because he was such a bad salesman that he lost a whole lot of money selling his father in laws cars?? Also what happened to all that ransom money??? Did anyone ever recover it??? Or should i travel up to Minnesota to look for it since this is based on a true story??? Some things i did like tho, was how everyone said Ya, at first i thought what a bunch of hicks, but soon it began to amuse me. I enjoyed how the characters talked to each other as neighbors do to one another, that made this movie seem more like the real world than some of the fake dialog i witness in other movies.
All in all, i give this movie a 5 or 6, not a piece of art like some claim, but not a piece of trash like others have suggested.
Its an OK movie!!!
Death Race (2008)
I loved it
I remember watching Death Race 2000 as a kid and thinking that it was the coolest movie ever made, and then after i became an adult and added it to my DVD collection and watched it again, i realized what a stupid movie it was, but that is what made it funny.
Then this movie came out, and i thought it looked ridiculous but something told me to watch it just because i was a fan of the original one.
And i must say i enjoyed this movie, yes its unbelievable, and is predictable, but the special effects were pretty good, and the acting was pretty good as well.
Anyone who likes futuristic action flicks will enjoy this movie, just don't take it to seriously and expect a masterpiece, but if you enjoyed the old B movies of yesterday, then you will enjoy this
The Dark Knight (2008)
Long, boring and stupid
I couldn't wait for this movie to end, it was one of the most boring Batman movies i ever watched, the only part i enjoyed was the scenes with The Joker in them, i thought the actor who played him did a good job, but the story line was boring and predictable. And this movie was way to long, the scenes were either to long or to short and left a lot of questions to be answered.
If you're a Batman fan, i would pass on this flop, you will be disappointed like i was.
I don't know about the rest of you people out there, but i think these directors who make these Batman films should read the comics and watch the old Batman shows before they make a movie.
In my opinion, i haven't seen one decent Batman movie yet, the only one that was entertaining to me was the one with Jim carrey as the riddler, the rest of them have all been lousy in my opinion
Soylent Green (1973)
Decent flick
I watched this movie last night, never heard of before, and although i think it could of been done better, i stilled enjoyed the idea of it.
The year is 2022 and the world is over populated, food is scarce, especially for the poor, a jar of strawberries will run you 150 bucks.
Hot water? You better be rich is you want hot water, let alone a bar of soap.
What i enjoyed most about this movie, is the the concept of "furniture", that made me laugh I would like to see this movie redone, with a large budget, it was obvious that the budget used for this movie was small, prolly cuz Heston got paid to much But overall, id give this movie a 6, if you like futuristic sci fi movies with a different twist to it, then you will enjoy this i do believe
Mulholland Dr. (2001)
Stupid Movie
Yes i know the first part was a dream, but this movie makes absolutely no sense, i found it to be completely stupid.
Only good thing i can say about this flick, is that it had a nice lesbian scene, and i did like the movie audition scene. other than that, couldn't stand the movie, to many questions left unanswered, questions that i didn't care to find the answers for.
If you like movies that make you think, then you may like this one, tho i think the director made it so there are any number of possible answers to the questions you will ask yourself if you make it thru this movie without falling to sleep
The Outsiders (1983)
Great book made into a LOUSY film
I like so many of you out there read this book back when i was 12 or 13 years old, got it from the school library and absolutely loved this book. And then news came out that this book was going to be made into a movie, and i was really excited to see it. It had some great stars in it, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, C Thomas Howe, Emillio Estevez and Matt Dillion
This movie, i don't know how else to say it, SUCKED!!!! The acting was terrible, especially Diane Lane who played Cherry Valance, she was by far the worst actor in this movie.
I cant see how anyone who read and liked the book could even begin to like this movie, it was obviously put together in a hurry, the actors, all of them didn't have a clue on how to portray these characters, i blame the director and the actors, poor job all the way around in my opinion.
The Church was supposed to be on top of a huge hill, and there was no mention as to why Johnny and Ponyboy went into the church to save the kids in the first place, they just went in to save the kids in the movie, but the book says they went in because they felt responsible because they were the ones who were smoking in there.
If you enjoyed the book, i recommend watching this movie just so you will appreciate the book even more.
Terrible Terrible adaption of one of my favorite books growing up, SE Hinton you should be ashamed to allow this piece of crap to be put on the big screen
