SEC=UGA Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Pearl Harbor. Awful, horrible movie. It was amazingly historically inaccurate. That, and the actors suck. If I want to watch a movie about Pearl Harbor it will be Tora! Tora! Tora! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to watch a movie about Pearl Harbor it will be Tora! Tora! Tora! I remember trying to sit through that train wreck... Streamed In the Name of the Father last night. That was good if your into Day-Lewis and Irishmen saying fook a lot. My Left Foot is worth a watch also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Pearl Harbor. Awful, horrible movie. It was amazingly historically inaccurate. That, and the actors suck. If I want to watch a movie about Pearl Harbor it will be Tora! Tora! Tora! Anything by Bay/Bruckheimer is usually going to be a bloated POS with canned dialogue and over-the-top special effects. Those summer blockbusters are the McDonald's of moviemaking, and are successful for the same unfortunate reasons McDonald's is successful.

Seahawks21 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 No Strings Attached As far as chick-flicks go, this one was surprisingly really funny, if you don't mind Ashton Kutcher. A bit of good ol' fashioned sophomoric humor. Plot is average, but it kept me entertained. The wife really enjoyed it except for a bit of stuff that she thought was a lil' too racy.

Seahawks21 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Change-Up I had some buddies that liked this a lot more than I did, but I like Ryan Reynolds, so it had moments. A few really funny moments. Tired plot, but executed fairly well. Could have been funnier, but I could think of worse ways to spend an evening.

millerx Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Ides of March -- Great cast, very good performances and a story that keeps you guessing all the way through. Good exploration of the backstabbing and maneuvering that happens in a political campaign. Gosling is a good young actor, wasn't sure if he could carry a whole movie but he does, while Clooney, Giamatti and Seymour-Hoffman are great as usual. This isn't a candidate for movie of the year and doesn't aspire to be, it's just a good entertaining flick. I thought the same thing about Gosling until I saw the movie " Fracture " where he is the lead and more than holds his own against Anthony Hopkins (who is the other main star). BTW, I also highly recommend this movie... Excellent psychological thriller pitting two cunning minds against each other in a murder case.

BeeR Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 The Incredibles - For some reason I managed to endure watching a movie on TV with all the #$@ ads flitting across the bottom of the screen seemingly non-stop. I guess because I saw this movie years ago and felt it was worth another watch. Just a fun, very well done movie IMO, the way animated movies should be. Straightforward classic comic book style fun that didn't lean on extra-fancy graphics or cheap/silly over the top Hollywood BS. One you have no worries at all about any kid of any age watching.

tazinib1 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Just watched RED with Bruce Willis. I'm not a hugh Bruce Willis fans but its one of his better action flicks. One of the better comic book adaptation movies I've seen in awhile. There are some terrific close ups that they tore right out of the comic book. Great movie.

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Good movie, but you need to have read the book to get sme of the compressed sequences. Enjoyed the book more. I've seen people rate it in the top 10 movies of the year. Not sure I would go that far...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would LOVE to get on a gig like that. 3-4 months of Tier 3 pay = roughly $40-$50k for me alone. In time.....for now, I'm stuck on Lifetime Original pieces of garbage.

Redfish Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) I saw "Warrior" on PPV last night. The MMA sequences were well done and the character development was great. Very entertaining movie with three great actors (Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte). Highly recommended. Saw "Melancholia" with my film student daughter last week. I guess my IQ isn't high enough to appreciate this arthouse stuff. Lars Von Trier is a freak. Edited December 29, 2011 by Redfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 What dreams may come - the movie isn't anything great really but some very cool visual effects. Not so much high tech (might have been at the time) as they are creative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
