Cube: - 6/10

The original Saw. Concept's so interesting that the awful awful acting doesn't totally destroy the film. I first saw this when I was like 14 and thought it was amazing. There's weak dialogue and poor acting, but it still is enjoyable, has a great concept and great visuals. Prolly worth a watch if it seems up your alley

Holy crap, it's been years since I've seen Cube. It's probably one of my favorite underrated good horror flicks (it's sad I need to qualify my comments about horror films with the phrase 'good'). Well, that and Phantasm.

Origami · 11/17/2010, 02:59 pm

Cube a 6/10?!

No way!

JedExodus · 11/17/2010, 04:32 pm

Cube's good, but dat acting, it was just atrocious in parts. I still liked it and everything, but it's no masterpiece. Maybe a 7/6.5 would be more fitting, but sure it's done now

Plus I was laughing a bit at the mentally disabled guy, maybe that says something awful about me, but he was making really funny noises!!

Shallow Hal 10/10 I absolutley love this film! I think this is Jack Black's best. It hits all sorts of emotions (which isn't too hard to do to me - I'm very sentimental) such as humour and sadness, as well as a bit of shock. It's such a sweet rom com. I love how Jack Black isn't afraid to take the mick out of himself in this film as well.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World.

I didn't know about it before going to watch it, just that it had some video game references. Boy was I in for a surprise with the movie.

Totally loved the movie. Especially the characters and special effects. Everything was just so FUN about that movie. Now I'm going to read the comic books when I get the chance.

Imma give it a righteous 9/10.

Good job Michael Cera, you redeemed yourself to me.

Silver Hawk 8.5/10 Dear God, I love this movie. It's got a silly plot and is goofy as hell, but you can tell everyone had a blast working on it and it doesn't try to take itself seriously. The whole movie has this vibe of "Yes, we know this is a goofy Kung Fu film. Yes, we know the plot is silly, but that's the fun, so just enjoy the ride".

It helps that Michelle Yeoh is the star of the whole thing and she always looks like she's having a blast in whatever movie she's shooting. Combine that with fantastic fight choreography, good cinematography and you get the reasons why I love Silver Hawk. It's not as good as Zebraman, but damn, it's pretty close.

taumel · 11/19/2010, 02:26 pm

Inland Empire, i'm unsure how to rate it, in some aspects the film was brilliant, in others it felt too long winded. Maybe an overall 8/10 is fair. Great performance by Laura Dern.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - 9.5/10

Loved it! My favorite Harry Potter movie.There was one scene that keeps it from being a 10/10, and that was when Harry and Hermoine danced. Seriously, what?

ShaggE · 11/19/2010, 02:54 pm

The Human Centipede
6/10

Interesting shock premise, but not all that shocking. I honestly don't get the big deal. The obvious "digestion" issue was pretty nasty, but they glossed over it enough that it wasn't bothersome. Bizarre premise, standard mad scientist plot, just interesting enough that it wasn't a complete waste of time.

I think J-horror has desensitized me to this sort of film.

Weeblerjake · 11/19/2010, 06:29 pm

Literally just saw HP7. It was great. Agreeing with Dr. RG, what was with that dance scene? Even so, I can't wait for Part 2.

I thought it was pretty cute. Harry just wanted to cheer Hermione up.

Honestly, I feel like I'm really unqualified to rate Harry Potter movies, because even at their worst, I still find them pretty entertaining. Harry Potter was a huuuge part of my childhood, so even though it has its flaws, I pretty much love it all unconditionally. LOOOOVED the Deathly Hollows sequence with the three brothers! I'd really like to know who animated that!

However, I haven't read the book since it first came out, so perhaps my memory is a bit foggy. Can anyone tell me if the part where Ron sees an illusion of Harry and Hermione making out in the nude actually happened in the book? I don't remember it, but boy did that make me laugh when it happened.

tredlow · 11/20/2010, 02:27 am

Yeah, just watched Hairy Putter End Her Deafly Hollows Port Won. It was okay. I'ma give it a 7/10.

I don't know why I don't enjoy the HP movies as much as I should... The acting's pretty solid, the special effects are creative, the story's passable.

In the book? Not sure. In fan-fictions? Hundreds of times, mostly with Snape in the middle.

But it felt out of place. So, so, so out of place.

Weeblerjake · 11/20/2010, 10:28 am

Yeah, the mood suddenly switches to

"Waaaah, Ron ran away"

to

"Let's dance, Hermione!"

....What?

I couldn't care less about anything Harry Potter. The only HP in my life is Lovecraft. Am I an awful person?

Secret Fawful · 11/20/2010, 03:26 pm

The only Harry Potter films I really liked were the first three, for their mystery and atmosphere. Especially the second with the serpent and Tom Riddle. I thought the plot twist with his name was quite good. I also preferred the trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione as children against overwhelming terrifying odds when magic is used for evil, instead of pubertous young adults. I'm kind of overdue to rewatch those first three films, but as they got more and more numerous, I lost all interest to continue the story any further.

PecanBlue · 11/20/2010, 03:49 pm

I kind of lost interest in the actual books themselves because they turned into too much of a dramafest and fanservice and less of "Harry Potter's adventures at a SCHOOL OF WIZARDS FOR GOD'S SAKE" so in turn I lost interest in the movies. The last book is also my least favorite book. So, I'll most likely wait for the DVD to judge.
