Last Movie Watched

This absolutely deserves all the hype it gets as a bad movie, but in spite of it ripping off countless other films and being overstuffed and overdone in almost every way, I not only didn't hate it but found it strangely satisfying and actually likeable.

Actually The John Carter stories are over 100 years old and the 'ripping off' you perceived is really reversed. Star Wars/Avatar countless others openly claim these stories as 'influential'.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!!! Released in America as Point Blank this French thriller has it all in spades. One of the best crime/suspense/thriller flicks I've seen in recent memory. It grabs you and doesn't let go until the credits roll, and was so absorbing that the 90 or so minutes felt more like 40. I won't bother explaining the plot, but rather say that if you haven't seen it already I highly recommend hitting it on Netflix streaming this weekend--and grab the popcorn for this one.

Just watched it today, pretty damn good flick. Thanks for the recommendation.

I've yet to see a movie with Melissa George that I didn't like. Amityville Horror is no exception. Yea it's not original and you won't be confusing it with any award-winning movies but it was entertaining nonetheless.

There are two reasons to watch this movie, and both are the proud property of Megumi Kagurazaka (←PG-13, but NSFW). OK a third reason: it's highly entertaining. Funny, tense, extremely unsettling, the characters and acting are all well done, and while not comically gory it is pretty f***ing sick when they do go there. For those who like this genre it's well worth a try on Netflix streaming if you haven't already seen it.

Because, you know....it's the off season.

You must spread some karma around before giving it to Megumi again.

very true. as for the movie, I enjoyed it. I don't see the reason for so much hate given to it.

I went to see Rock of Ages. Yes, it is extremely cheesy but I enjoyed it. Some of the songs done better than others. I will say though that I wish they wouldn't have mixed in some songs that weren't exactly around that time frame and on Sunset Blvd at the time.
