The Movie Review and Discussion Thread

[Nicolidakies]

Watched ''Badlands'' last night.It's a story like Bonnie and Clyde,Natural Born Killers with Martin Sheen and Sissy Spaceck.I remember seeing it the first time and liking it but this time around it did little to nothing for me.I even skipped the last half hour because I lost intrest,which rarely occures.The main thing that bothered me was the passive attitude both characters maintained throughout the movie.I assume this was for a reason and kinda shocking to people cause Sheen goes on a killing spree without ever getting excited.Spaceck also remains unrealisticly calm after every ''bloody'' scene which could be a message from the director how distorted their minds are but none the less it kinda bothered me..This review probably does not make the slightest sense but that's how I fel about it..

I watched Quantum Of Solace again last night on blu-ray with my nephew.
This is the third time I've seen it and while it's not as great as Casino Royale--I appreciate the movie more each time I see it.
Daniel Craig is absolutely the best Bond since Sean Connery! I love his badass interpetation of 007--

Paid in Full - Very underrated urban film based on a true story of a dry cleaner worker turning into one of the biggest drug dealers in Harlem! 3.5/5 Got Em!!

Love Happens
I heard mixed things about this film, but I thought it was ok. Just another Rom-Com. Not bad or anything just entertaining. 3/5

17 Again
I was so surprised. This movie was pretty funny and i enjoyed the whole thing. Never thought i would say that about a Zac Effron film. 4/5

Last two days:

Ocean's 13 - 4/5

Pretty good movie, not quite as good as the original though. Definitely better than Ocean's 12.
I always love the Pitt/Clooney scenes in these movies.



All three Bourne films.

Didn't care for them, ok at best for the first two, bad for the 3rd.

Identity - 2.5/5
Supremacy - 2.5/5
Ultimatum - 2/5


The editing of the majority of the actions scenes where terrible, felt like Michael Bay on speed.

[A Tortured Duckling]

Taken (Unrated) - 5/5

Definitely better, and a lot more entertaining than when i saw it in the theater. It's quite amazing what a huge difference a mere 3 minutes makes.

An extremely overrated film IMO. Same with Bonnie and Clyde.

Triangle 4.5/10

A pretty bad movie. The acting, story, and premise. I don't know how this movie is rated an 81% on rotten. I found it very very cheap and boring. It has a premise very similar to Timecrimes, but Timecrimes is 1000X better.

HOLY CRAP!!! LOL! I just watched all three of these the last 3 days also...just finishing the third movie about 20 minutes ago! I couldn't DISAGREE with you more!!! I LOVE all three of these movies. I think they have a great story, great action scenes, and are wonderfully paced.
I say...

Identity - 5/5
Supremacy - 5/5
Ultimatum - 5/5

Danika - Starring Marisa Tomei, what a very strange film. Im not sure if I got it?

[Show spoiler] What I gathered is she had the car accident right after she caught her husband cheating and all the kids died and she lived but with the kids gone and the husband cheated and left, she became helpless and became a bum! The earlier parts of the film was just her imaging her life went on with her kids and husband and everything was ok.

If anyone has a take or can help let me know! I would rate it 2.5/5 Got Em!!
