What DVD's are we Watching? - Page 75

Watched Shutter Island last night. It was good, but the "twist" was predictable. It was odd though--on the one hand, they had several scenes with some very nice special effects, obviously quality CG. On the other, there were just as many really painfully green-screened backgrounds, basically any time they drove in a car or rode on a boat. I don't know why they could afford one but not the other. Anyway, it was enjoyable, but I have no need to see it again, which is what you're supposed to feel with a good psychological thriller.

Shutter was blown way out of proportion. A waste of talent.

I watched Micheal Clayton late last night.

The ending was the best part.

Just watched Johnny Dangerously again last night. It wasn't as funny as I remembered. I think it's one of those movies that is quoted a lot because the quotes are funny.

I was surprised that the move was only 93 minutes, it seemed to go on for hours. Very slow pacing.

I know a guy who quoted that movie once. Once.

Just saw "2010: Moby Dick". If you like hilariously bad flix, ya gotta see this moobie.

"Exam", now I really liked this flick.

skysidhe · 12-27-2010, 10:17 AM

I watched, Wall street:Money Never Sleeps.

It was original enough. There were a couple of parts where the acting was glaringly bad but I still liked it.

My favorite part was the soundtrack. Maybe that raised the whole film up a few notches.
What is annoying is the soundtrack being sold doesn't include all of the songs from the movie.

Johnny Dangerously is one of my favorite watch again movies.

I've seen The Polar Express and Despicable Me recently.

Love the minions.

We tried to watch The Big Chill. What a pile of pants! Sooooo Slow. Was it really the classic they reckon? Or is that just round here because it features U of M grads?

The recent outdoor hockey game in the Big house ws named after this movie. Why? we wonder....

Maybe it was the soundtrack that won people over...?

How to Kill Your Neighbors Dog- most excellent

The Big Chill was very much a product of the self-absorbed 80s, targeting people who had focused on themselves so much that life had passed them by. It always surprised me that they never bothered to reflect on the possibility that the dude killed himself because he realized he had such a lame-ass bunch of friends.

I think you nailed that!

OMG, I just saw these posts on The Big Chill.

SRSLY! I remember my ex (10 years my senior) thought it was wonderful. I'm like "omg what a bunch of nimrods...and yeah RIGHT we're such good friends I'm going to let you fuck my husband." (cue to bemused loving soooo sacrificing face of Glenn Close.) UGH.

And typically, I like ensemble acting and movies like that. I suppose someone younger than me would probably laugh their ass off at St Elmo's Fire (of course, I rewatched that a few months ago and it was pretty silly in retrospect.)

I liked the SNL spoof where Glenn Close is downstairs and her husband and whoever he was trying to impregnate bounced the bedsprings for, like, HOURS. Wish I could find a clip.
