Burn After Reading

 

Funny as hell, Brad made the movie rock.

Death Race and War.

 

Both were very entertaining.

[emsley]

How awesome is death race?

That bit were he kicks his co pilot in to a steel gurder? lol

[Agozer]

War is awesome because it has both Jason Statham and Jet Li.

 

Jet Li puts the martial arts in the backburner and uses guns most of the time. Lovely.

one crazy summer and the first 30 minutes of King of Kong.

I'll finish Kong some time this week.

one crazy summer is a classic teen comedy from the 80's with john cusak and demi moore.

King of kong is a documentary about some dudes fighting over the high score on DK.

King of Kong made me so angry. I absolutely hated Billy Mitchell and his nerd gang. They were the uber nerds that I thought existed only in fiction.

The Spirit

 

At times it was awesome, at times it was retarded, overall it was a mixture of love, hate, what the heck, and they could have executed that better...

6/10

It's worth a look. I know others liked it much more then I did...

 

I was unsure as to what to think of this movie. It started out great, went to awful, up and down, all around, back to crap, hit average, and ended with a meh.

 

Overall this movie is a total disappointment. I guess Miller felt like he could do whatever he wanted with The Spirit mytho's/characters and no one was really going to care because not many people outside of hardcore comic book fans really know who The Spirit is.

 

Watch this movie without any expectations and you just might like it.

The Day the Earth Stood Still and Yes Man.

 

The sci-fi remake is awesome and Keanu is perfect for that blank expressionless-faced alien in a human shell. The "cliffhanger" ending just let me down a bit. 9/10.

 

I dunno, but I see a resemblance now between Jim Carrey and Willem Dafoe. His movie does provide a good laugh. 7/10.

"The Spirit"

 

Felt like a lot of the "comic" book artistic essence required the sacrifice of a freaking plot to give this movie anything.

 

Seriously, this movie started in Cuba and took you to New York in under two minutes.

I updated my Spirit post located a few posts above...

 

Anyways...

Daredevil Director's Cut

 

Ok I saw this movie a long while ago and hated every second of it. Me being bored as hell last night and being the HUGE DD fan that I am I decided to watch this movie again, and I must say my views on it have changed immensely...

first of all it was almost an entirely new experience watching the R rated directors cut. So much was added in and many scenes were extended. It was just a much MUCH better movie this time around. Don;t get me wrong this movie had far to many flaws that IMO are inexcusable as far as I am concerned being the die hard DD fan that I am. Some of these complaints are...

 

*Spoilers below*

DD being WAAAAY to vicous (allowing a criminal to die and throwing Bullseye out a high as heck in the sky window)

Bullseye being Irish and not being in costume

Kingpin being black

Change of origin (they also left out DD's indepth martial arts/Ninja training he had before becoming DD)

*End of Spoilers*

 

Many comic book movies miss the mark and tend to do the exact same thing, I am trying to learn to accept it and lower my expectations when watching a movie based on a comic. It's just REALLY hard in this case because DD is such an icon and one of my all time favorite characters.

 

This is really not a bad movie at all. IF you are not to familiar with DD and his mytho's then you will enjoy this movie even more then I did.

 

I highly recommend it! It's worth a watch!

8/10

 

EDIT: They also got DD's costume right. Unlike the retarded Batman costumes with the lame looking plastic muscles and body armor.

seriously, I just finished watching it. Billy Mitchell is a real douchbag.
