I'm sure she'd be glad to know about it. I'll let her know.

I really want to go see the movie now. I think it's time for a date night, baby!

Hot Tub Time Machine 6/10

What's with the fad of gross out humor? Is that what comedy is now? I guess I'm getting old. lol

Due Date 8.5/10. Really hilarious. My favorite quote was "Dad, you were like a father to me" - hahahahaha!

Megamind 2/10. Walked out after 30 minutes. meh.

Paranormal Activity 2 - 4/10

Forced to see it last night by the wife who loves scary movies. There were literally only two scenes in the movie that even approached scary. The climactic scenes were a huge letdown. What a waste of time.

Did you hate the first one as well?

It couldn't have been all that bad. You watched a whopping 30 minutes and still gave it a 2. Who knows what you might have given it had you actually bothered to watch the whole thing. lol



SAW 3D - 10/10

Great way to end the series. I loved the movie. Awesome.

I gave it a 2 because Tina Fey is one of my favorite actress. It was for her and her alone.

It was a let down after watching Due Date.

No, I thought it was much better. But that may be just a bias due to expectations. In other words, the first was good for what it was -- i.e., a low profile, low budget production. It had good use of suspense and anticipation, which the second one lacked. The second one was just boring.

Fixed.

Monsters - 7/10

Totally not what I thought it would be. It's basically a love story -- but a good one, though the ending felt lazy. They basically just gave up on telling the rest of the story.

I agree except for the part of it being a good love story. It was an okay love story, but not that great. It was very predictable and obvious. I'd give it a 6/10.

Due Date - 8/10. Pretty funny. Not as good as the Hangover. Zack G. is main thing to see this movie for. Jamie Foxx's cameo was kind of a waste.

I also saw Girl with the Dragon Tatoo (probably a 7/10) and noticed a funny bit of lazy film making. During one of the flashbacks with the journalist as a kid it pans down and shows his feet and he's wearing shoes with Velcro and the main character from 'Cars' on the side. This is supposed to be in 1966.

I think it was pretty far from predictable and obvious -- inasmuch as a love story can be, at least. For one, I thought it was odd they didn't even touch physically pretty much the entire movie until the last few minutes. I thought the female lead did a great job keeping distant. The emotional attraction was subtle and the interaction was very real (the night before and morning of entering the infected zone was near perfect in terms writing and acting).

Edit: I just realized who I was responding to and feel stupid for even typing up the response.

subtle? It was obvious in the first 10 minutes where it was going. I figured that out long before I realized that was what the entire movie was going to be about. The whole thing with the ring and her fiance made it way too obvious.

Now the characters themselves were somewhat subtle with each other (well not really the guy, he was pretty obvious), but the movie wasn't.

Congrats on figuring out very early on that in a movie where the only two characters are a man and a woman, said characters would wind up in a romantic relationship.

Nothing gets by you. You're the guy that yells out that something bad is about to happen when the music gets dark and ominous, aren't you?

Now the characters themselves were somewhat subtle with each other

Uhh...yeah, that was my point.

(well not really the guy, he was pretty obvious), but the movie wasn't.

No, the guy was realistic. He got drunk and tried to hit on her in a half joking/half serious manner seeing if she would bite -- and when she didn't, he went and hooked up with some random. Like I said, realistic. But that's what made their RELATIONSHIP subtle. It wasn't just "boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, and go through disaster while falling in love." The relationship was nuanced and realistic -- even if it was oh so obvious that the only two main characters, of opposite sex, would have a relationship.

Yeah, I knew at that point the movie was just about them and they'd be the only real characters in the movie.

What you call "realistic" I call cliche and predictable (and going by your favorite site there are a lot of critics who agree with me). There was nothing uncommon about that aspect of the movie.

I took my nephews to see Megamind today, albeit i slept thru the first half hour at least by the time I woke up it at my interest. I'd give it 6/10

lol, Theo and Childsplay need to start a movie-review podcast or something. I'd watch.

Due Date: 4/10

Wow, this movie was a HUGE letdown. I hate going to movies and the funniest parts are in the previews. I love Zach Galifinakis and Robert Downey Jr, but this movie was not NEAR as funny as I though it'd be. They actually tried to make it sad in some parts. Admittedly, I laughed a few times, but overall this movie was not that funny. Bummer. Good thing I went at noon and only paid $4.

so would i.

But would you pay for it?

I don't know, I figure 6 episodes in before you both tried to strangle each other. Good things can't last.
