Official Movie Thread - Discuss movies here

I watched Paul Blart Mall Cop last night. It was kind of disappointing, IMO. It didn't have nearly the amount of laughs i expected.

 

Amazingly enough, I did the same. I'd agree, but I definitely found certain parts of it very funny. A little sparse though.

 

I liked it, mainly because it's the job I do (did do security at a mall for a while), but more for the humorous side to the job I do put on film.

This one and "Observe and Report" are two of our favs to come out recently about our job.

 

I'll have to check that one out then.

 

any boondock saints fans here check this link out:

Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day to be released this fall

The movie is finished, they are just waiting for the studio to decide on a release date. I can't wait!

 

The film began post-production 22 December 2008. Hope this one gets released soon!!

 

I haven't been in a movie theater in years, in my last visit to the UK in March my niece took me to see The Boat That Rocked, besides loving the movie which was great, to actually watch a movie where everybody kept thier mouth shut, what a pleasure, which is why I stopped going to theaters here in the States.

But man what a great movie, I couldn't wait to come home and tell my family and friends about it but was shocked it was not playing here nor did anybody even know about it, what a bummer, it had some great stars in it both American and British, I just hope we do get it on DVD.

 

I did manage to see My Bloody Valentine 3D. I thought I was back in the 50's with my paper glasses. Could have been a lot worse.It was entertaining. give it a 5 for uniqueness.

 

yeah looking forward to terminator salvation. Another summer flick I cant wait for is Rob Zombie's Halloween 2. The first one was awsome I love his movies!

 

I am waiting for Transformers 2, GI Joe, Gamer, Nightmare on Elm Street (which is currently filming in Chicago and parts of Cicero, IL, my home town), District 9, and H2.

 

yeah the new nightmare on elm street should be good. I saw the trailer for district 9 yesterday and that looks pretty good too. Isn't it directed by the same guy who did the Halo short films?

 

Actually the short Halo 3 commercials but just the same, rumor has it if District 9 is to be a success, then Halo could/might/would be green lit for sure with Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp at the helm

Lol to be fair, the original series was 20 years before I was born, and I'm guessing I'm older than she is. That said, I was aware of Star Trek TOS from an early age, it was much later that I discovered the latter series, TNG,DS9,Voyager,Enterprise existed.

 

My childhood was in the serial "Flash Gordon" B&W era at the picture show! $.25 to get in. LMAO

 

I remember watching those flash gordon serials as well as the tarzan ones on pbs late saturday night. I would stay up late just to catch them. They would show a block of them for an hour, then I would have to wait till the next week to see what happened next.

 

It was a great gimmick to get you back to the movies the next Saturday. And we went.

Saw an unexpected good movie. "Powder Blue" gave it an 8, should watch it with your significant other. Reminded me of "crash" with lots of pole dancing. LOL
