Ok- boring week here . but i was perusing the channels the other night and i saw -

1. "a trip to bountiful" was on ...The Trip to Bountiful is a 1985 film starring Geraldine Page, John Heard, Carlin Glynn, Richard Bradford and Rebecca De Mornay.

it had 4 stars ... ok ... i watched it ... damn . went no where . and i watched almost the whole frickiin movie ... did i miss something !!! ??

Kept hoping that Rebecca De Mornay would show some body shots ...




2. ok . dont laugh . last night i was flippin channels and i watched Tomcats (2001) with jerry o'connell ... i just saw yahoo people reviews gave it a B- ---- ugh this was unwatchable also ... http://movies.yahoo.com/m...36434/info

kept thinking shannon elizabeth would at least show some boobage ...in defence of TV listings i think TOMCATS only had 1 star ...

DREAMGIRLS.

Fight Club

Crash (2005)

Both movies insulted my intelligence.

A History of Violence. I saw the movie mostly because of thegood reviews--which I normally don't do. I thought it was terrible.

Being John Malkovitz

Planet of the Apes

Transformers

Terminator

On Golden Pond.....and 95% of the Oscar nominated movies from the past 25 years.

that fucking Jack Nicholson/Helen Hunt disaster... I think they both won Oscars for it

You didn't like As Good As It Gets???? I loved Jack in that joint.

I love that movie. Plus the dog is in it was so cute that I fell in love with the breed and got two Brussels Griffon.

Lost IN Translation--huge letdown, okay, but nothing to write home about
Crash--actually very good movie, but TOTALLY false Hollywood bullshit
Million Dollar Baby--I could barely finish this one
Braveheart--sorry I just don't do Mel Gibson
Blade Runner--just watched this again and it was very dated, confusing, and fairly badly acted

I couldn't stand that thing! Plus I have an overall problem w/ Helen Hunt's face But I thought Jack was coasting, bored me to tears

Children of Men

Seven

I really hate them both.

CalhounSq said:

I cain't stand Helen Hunt so I'm totally witcha on that one.

Master and Commander
Cinderella Man

Donnie Darko ..I thought it was crap

Ocean said:

I'm not a fan of Donnie Darko either, but mainly because it seemed like an amateur, unoriginal attempt at scifi, but most people hadn't seen movies or read stories that predated it and did it much better, so it's worshiped by a younger crowd for being startlingly original and crazy.

I like all these.
Malkovich is only worth viewing a couple of times but
Transformers and Terminator (I've seen this like 20 times . . . . )
Planet of the Apes with Mark Wahlberg was ok, not as good as the Charlton Heston movies.

... I really can't understand why so many people rave about it (well people on here)

Graycap23 said:

On Golden Pond is a very good movie.

The first time I saw it, I thought it went nowhere. A second viewing and a third and it is a good movie.

Genesia said:

Yeah I didn't like this. Just a bunch of mean men all around.

Shawnt25 said:

I actually bought that flick because everyone told me it was so good. I watched it once and gave it to my sister.

Graycap23 said:

My mother made me watch that once. It's two hours of old people yelling, and neither as deep or touching as it's made out to be.

Fuck critically acclaimed shit.

"My private Idaho" and "Bad lieutenant".....critics loved them but they are in my personal top 10 of worst movies I have ever seen.

Grand Canyon

Justaphase said:

I like 'Bad Lieutenant.'

Justaphase said:

I have vague memories of watching My Private Idaho on TV when I was 12 or so, but I've never felt compelled to rent it to see what happens properly. I take it my instinct was correct?

Monsters Ball.


Smooches;)

I liked that. I liked the complexity.

ufoclub said:

I liked Donnie Darko.....and I'm old!


I would't call it scifi either.....
