Re: What was the last movie you watched?

What a disc. It's a kids movie.

But writing a letter in was a little extreme. I mean, I've watched the news before and seen some shocking reporting and thought to myself, "Gosh, I've got to let them know this sucks," but I always forget about it after 2 seconds of the next segment.

Re: What was the last movie you watched?

Don't bother, a lot of people have tried that kind of thing before...

Anyways...

The Book of Eli

Not bad, but gets a bit hokey towards the end (I didn't really buy the "twist"), and the concept of the movie itself is a bit lame.

The Hurt Locker
It was okay. I didn't love it, but it was pretty good.

Re: What was the last movie you watched?

I kind of feel like people give Armond White a lot of flak for a certain number of popular or critical favorites that he hates, but don't notice the times when he agrees with the majority opinion. Some of his choices are really dubious, but I feel like I can see where he's coming from.

Re: What was the last movie you watched?

Scream

I don't know if this is a horror film or a horror parody.
But I love it on itself and is a great edition to every horrorfans movie collection.
btw: why reference to your own old movie all the time Craven ? mini/what

4/5

To young to die!

One of the worst drama's I've ever seen, all the acting was HORRIBLE (although Brad Pitt was ok).
I didn't give one s**t about the lead character.
You just end up laughing at her misfortune.
They really GOT to me more on a "humorous leavel than a "care" level

1/5

One Million years B.C.

It was ok I guess, the stop motion effects by Ray Harryhausen were a geek-fest to me. The acting overall was ok and Raquel had nice !@#s showing.

I give it a 3,5/5

It's not that I have a problem with Armond liking or disliking certain films, it's the actual nature of his reviews. With him, there is absolutely no middle ground, either he loves a movie or hates it. Plus, his actual film analysis tends to be completely asinine.

A few choice quotes:

Armond on Jonah Hex wrote:

True art is watching hot-chick Megan Fox (as Lilah the hooker) fearlessly staring at the most grotesque side of Jonah’s face as if coming to grips with her own exploitation. Beautiful and brilliant.

Armond on The Wrestler wrote:

As a middle-aged, small-time wrestler living in a New Jersey trailer, Rourke’s Randy “Ram Jam” Robinson tells his estranged daughter, “Now I’m an old, broken-down piece of meat, and I’m alone and I deserve to be alone. I just don’t want you to hate me.” Jason Statham voiced more eloquent regret in Death Race; Ram Jam just wants pity.

Armond on Next Day Air wrote:

Filmgoers who think outside the artmovie box will discover that the artful and enjoyable Next Day Air offers an episode of 21st-century black American life that August Wilson never got to.

Armond on Transformers 2 wrote:

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is more proof [Bay] has a great eye for scale and a gift for visceral amazement.

Armond on Clash of the Titans wrote:

Leterrier certainly shows a better sense of meaningful, economic narrative than the mess that Peter Jackson made of the interminable, incoherent Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Armond on From Paris With Love wrote:

Reece’s movement from politesse to self-interest disproves the old maxim “the personal is political.” Since 9/11, the new reality is that geopolitics is violence. Reece and Wax bond over chess and guns, strategy and violence—a more informed quintessence of war than The Hurt Locker.

(I should note, he gave a positive review to The Hurt Locker)

Armond on Transporter 3 wrote:

Forget the Oscar bait, Transporter 3 is the only movie you need to see this season.

Armond on Ballast wrote:

Ballast (another Frozen River, wallowing in the miseries of the underclass) is designed to provoke bourgeois moviegoers’ pity.

Armond on Death Race wrote:

Through B-movie audacity, Statham and Anderson heighten Death Race into a skull-crusher and a mind-bender. But you’ll need a keen movie sense to recognize their underappreciated talents.

Re: What was the last movie you watched?

Yesterday I watched 5 Movies:

Evil Dead
For a low-budget, that horror film was great.

Christine
Pretty good film, I thought the book was a bit better, but still,
John Carpenter never fails.

The Hills Have Eyes
That film failed to make sense to me in the beggining, but as it
went on I finally realized everything that was going on. It was good,
but 'Last House on the Left' was better.

Strangers on a Train
I LOVED IT. mini/smile

Toy Story 3
Amazing movie! mini/bigsmile

Re: What was the last movie you watched?

I watched the first half of Braindead/Dead Alive on YouTube but was kicked out of the school library before I could watch the rest.
Probably not the best place to watch it.

Re: What was the last movie you watched?

The Man Who Knew Too Much
Very good Hitchcock film! mini/smile

The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly
I LOVED IT.

Nah, had earphones. Although I doubt people would have minded hearing "I kick arse for he LORD!" while they're trying to study.
But dammit I need to see this film soon. My internet at home is so slow it would literally take a day to load it on YouTube.

Re: What was the last movie you watched?

Hey guys, sorry if this is slightly off-topic but sorry for being such a dumbass. Hehehe... mini/confused

I just watched the old Karate Kid.  I have no complaints at all.

Re: What was the last movie you watched?

Shrek

This movie should have sucked. But...it....just......doesn't. Donkey could have been annoying, but for some reason is hilarious. It could and should have been terrible, but its just GENIUS

The second is better though mini/tongue The third was OK but not nearly as good, and the fourth looks terrible.
