| The Judge Ignore | Definitely worth it, great action and great tribute to both the older movies and the original tv show but I can't say why. Lips are sealed. 12:53 05-21-2013 | |
 | Dredlox™ Ignore | Thanks for the review mike. That may swing me into seeing star trek. 09:57 05-21-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| The Judge (Review) Ignore | Star Trek- Into Darkness 4.5 stars Excellent. It would be so easy to give spoilers from this movie so I am not going to go into detail. Very well worth watching with some real surprises. The cast is outstanding. (+5 tp) | |
| dope5tar (Review) Ignore | The Cabin in the Woods 4.5 stars Brilliant. Clever and visually impressive with a healthy dose of black humor. Good stuff (+5 tp) | |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | yeah, it's totally forced, and it's gotten worse each movie. Like he says "why can't you wear the sports bra for me?" and she laughs and you get the feeling there is like 0 attraction there. 23:15 05-08-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| Phil78 Ignore | wow that totally explained for me what i dont like about that relationship. never put my finger on it. they do not work for me either. 16:57 05-08-2013 | |
| The Judge Ignore | I've noticed that also Neal, Downey and Paltrow just do not make a good couple at all. Doesn't feel like they belong together or something and they look uncomfortable all the time. It translates to Tony and Pepper on the screen, obviously. 08:41 05-08-2013 | |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | oh yeah? cool. I wanted to see that, nk. Thanks dude! 00:02 05-08-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| dope5tar (Review) Ignore | The Muppets (2011) 4.5 stars Awesome, awesome, awesome movie. So clever it hurts. MANIACAL LAUGH, MANIACAL LAUGH (+5 tp) | |
| Phil78 (Review) Ignore | Iron Man 3 3 stars first one was better. this was much better than the second one. review? yeah thats my review i wasnt impressed by anything in it. wasnt thinking "THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME" at any given moment. but it was entertaining. (0 tp) | |
| Dredlox (Review) Ignore | Iron Man 3 3.5 stars Enjoyable and a nice step up from Iron Man 2. Decent story, good acting, cool bad guy. My favorite thing was how Stark had to step outside the suit and be a hero. Least favorite is the ongoing complete lack of chemistry between him and Gwenneth Paltrow. Good watch, moments very good, but nothing much to remember (+2 tp) | |
| Patrick M. S Ignore | I want to talk about Ben Kingsley to bad but I don't want to spoil that at all. Yeah, the tech stuff was so nuts this time that they,re REALLY asking us to make a jump in terms of suspension of disbelief. For that prototype suit, am I to believe that all of the pieces have propulsion AND navigation ability? A little over the top in the 2nd half, unfortunately. Still really entertaining but just not a solid as the first one. 10:58 05-07-2013 | |
| The Judge (Review) Ignore | Iron Man 3 4 stars 4 stars says it best, I really liked it but it's not destined for greatness. Good review Pat and precisely what I was thinking. Good fun but kind of over the top. My son loved it, Dawn and I liked it well enough. A little too high tech for me also, it was kind of hard to suspend disbelief but it was still fun to watch. Ben Kingsley was hilarious. I recommend it for theater watching, for sure. (+5 tp) | |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | Saw it today too. 4 or 3 1/2. Fun movie. 21:17 05-05-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| Patrick M. S (Review) Ignore | Iron Man 3 4 stars Although not living up to the greatness of the 1st Iron Man, I'm glad that it was better than the last disappointing entry of this franchise. I was thoroughly entertained enough to think that this movie does its job very well. Lots of great laughs and some fun tongue-in-cheek winks to other Marvel movies (including the upcoming Thor2 during a quick moment between Cheadle and Sadler). One of the weirdest things about this trilogy (is it a trilogy or is there going to be more?) is that the weakest entry of the three actually has the strongest villian (Mickey Rourke), and this one, like Skyfall, has a rather disappointing villain. Kingsley is a blast in his role though. The little scenes with the kid were good fun and bring me back to Cloak and Dagger days where children were often paired with action heroes to make them more human (happened frequently in Arnold Swartznegger movies back in the day). I liked all those sequences. The movie loses a point or two with me at the end when it's just a little too much and over the top (just like the last Iron Man entry). I remember some were concerned that The Avengers was going to make the next Iron Man movie seem a little empty. That may well be and would explain why they sort of go nuts with the action sequences towards the end of the movie. I think it's a fair critism and problem for all these movies now, to try and feel more epic than they actually are. Still, I'm glad that it was released prior to Star Trek and especially Superman since I expect both of those to be ever better. Recommended as a good opening blockbuster for this summer. (+5 tp) | |
| HuntaWarya Ignore | Dredlox wrote: "Hunter with the movie review. Stunned" **Huh? Why would you be stunned? I've watched more movies than anyone really needs to (and I don't just mean more movies than they'd need to watch by my age, I mean more movies than they'd need to watch in their entire lifetimes) and I wouldn't even try to count how many different movies I've shared my thoughts about, right here on this Buzz Board. 21:58 04-29-2013 | |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | I had read the story years before I even know about the show. I saw it on facebook from ex decktecher Adam Beauchamp 12:39 04-28-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| Patrick M. S Ignore | I honestly don't even want to think about it. I haven't swam in a lake in years and the last time I did, you better believe I was looking to oil slicks. Did you read the short story? It's way gorier. The film doesn't really show you the guy that gets pulled between the planks but the short story describes it inch by inch, as his pelvic bone shatters and splinters, etc. I want to throw up. 11:44 04-28-2013 | |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | Sarah couldn't even watch it, it was so creepy and scary. 11:33 04-28-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| Patrick M. S Ignore | The Raft in Creepshow 2 gave me nightmares for an entire summer. I'm actually reading a book now on Stephen King and it's talking about what a disaster the first Creepshow was (only reviewed well from the critics that actually read horror comics growing up). But yeah The Raft is as good as a short story as it is a short film. Scary stuff. 09:02 04-28-2013 | |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | Lt C, Creepshow is like that. While those are generally pretty atrocious, I owe Adam Beauchamp big time, because the visual telling of King's The Raft in Creepshow 2 is one of the best I have ever seen of his works. Watch just that segment. 18:25 04-27-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | i've seen a couple Hammer movies, not bad. 18:23 04-27-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| Lt. Cabbage Ignore | I like the anthology ones best, where they are a collection of short stories bound together. The ones I know I've seen are: Dr. Terror's House of Horrors Tales from the Crypt From Beyond the Grave Asylum (called House of Crazies in the US) There are others. They're films that don't use quiet-loud "Boo!" scares. Some of the Vincent Price films feel quite similar. 17:25 04-27-2013 | |
| Phil78 Ignore | Dracula: Prince of Darkness The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires what are the others? 16:41 04-27-2013 | |
| Phil78 Ignore | what are the titles to these movies? 16:39 04-27-2013 | |
| Guero Ignore | Have you guys seen any of the Hammer or Amicus anthology films? Oh yes. I still remember seeing Peter Cushing as Van Helsing and Christopher Lee as Dracula when I was 7 or something on late night television. Scared the bejesus out of me. 15:22 04-27-2013 | |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | Army of Darkness has no horror, it's just a weird fantasy/comedy. 13:40 04-27-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| Lt. Cabbage Ignore | I'll have to give Army of Darkness a try with the girlfriend. We both like horror films. Just not ones that combine taking themselves too seriously with being rubbish. Have you guys seen any of the Hammer or Amicus anthology films? Stuff like Dr. Terror's House of Horrors with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. They're good late night viewing. 13:32 04-27-2013 | |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | Hunter with the movie review. Stunned 10:27 04-27-2013 My lord, it's just an eye. The gods saw fit to grace me with a spare |
| Dredlox™ Ignore | Come to think of it evil dead 1 and 2 were on the bad side. Evil dead 2 though has the seen where Ash chops off his arm and it runs around giving him the finger and that was very funny Evil dead has the scene were the girl is raped by the tree and that was pretty much disgusting 10:27 04-27-2013 My lord, it's just an eye.
