EVIL its a italy or germany horror movie something like 28 days later. its subtitled but one of the better zombie flicks

the BRed 2007 was a good show (about attack dogs)
 
The last movie I saw that surprised me by being good was Rocky Balboa. Pretty much everything I've seen since then (Spiderman 3, Rise of Taj, Pan's Labyrinth) DID suck. :whistle2:(
 
I went to Spiderman 3 expecting it to suck but knowing nothing of the plot. I didn't like it as much as the second one but it was still far from sucking.
 
Last movie I saw was MirrorMask. Hot damn was that a great movie. I wasn't sure what to expect going in, considering it got comparisons to Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, which I haven't seen in gods knows how long. But it was written by Neil Gaiman, so I was willing to give it a chance. And wow was it amazing. I'd definitely recommend people check it out.

Pan's Labyrinth didn't suck at all...

But the last movie that I saw that suprised me was Blood Diamond. I saw the commercials when it was in theaters and damn did it seem like a generic movie with a generic plot. However, when I saw it, I was suprised to hell. A great movie.

And I just saw Dr. Strangelove for the first time... but I didn't expect that to suck and it was amazing.
 
last movie i saw was spiderman 3 and it sucked bigtime. but a week or so before that i hit up a double feature at a local drive-in and they were playing the tmnt cgi movie and the 300. and to this day im surprised that tmnt was a pretty cool flick id like to own and the 300 was garbage. it started ok enough but damn it if wasnt cheesy to the nth degree. there slike maybe 20 to 25 minutes worth of stuff to watch in the film the rest is a bunch of guys hamming it up for the camera. i cant believe that movie moved people.
 
The last movie I saw that I thought would suck but didn't was (not the actual last movie I saw though) Next. It's not going to be on the top of my list for best movies of the year, but it was better than all the sequels so far this summer.
 
[quote name='senorwoohoo']Watched Trainspotting for the first time.

Pretty good.[/quote]

I watched that last night and thought it was horrible. Also watched Harsh Times thats wasn't that good either. Last great movie I watched was Fight club for the hundreth time.
 
I know this one is out of left field, but I'd say The Fountain. I like Darren Aronofsky alot (liked Pi, but Requim for a Dream is a favorite movie of mine).. and I actually enjoyed it. It had a little bit of a Kubrick-y feel to it IMO, and the story is a little more complicated than you think. Granted it's no Requim, but certainly better than I thought it'd be.

I'm halfway through an old kung fu movie called the "Crippled Avengers" right now. Basically.. five handicapped kung fu warriors try to overthrow evil and whatnot.. but it's funny to me (one's retarded, another has no arms, one is deaf and mute, etc).

The Fountain, my favorite movie of 2006 by far.

Eight Legged Freaks was actually damn good, along the lines of Slither.
 
[quote name='karmapolice']28 Weeks Later... was amazing. I cant wait for 28 Months Later. It was by far the best movie ive seen in the last year.[/QUOTE]
heck yes that was good.
 
[quote name='I AM WILLIAM H. MACY']Evan Almighty
7.5/10

Decent enough, sort of poorly directed and scripted at times but entertaining, nicely paced and had some laughs. Recommended[/quote]

I was going to pass on this film, but may consider it a rental now. I do like Steve Carrell.
 
But I was impressed with Ghost Rider and Spiderman 3 was worth the money. At least they tried to follow the comcis with the origin of venom.

Now Pirates 3 that was a waste of about 3 hrs and $9, Also I'm not going to see Evan Almighty. And Next was a terrible movie.

Yeah Steve Carell has quite a bit of funny improv, I'd definitely say it's worth a rental if you like him, but probably not worth a theatrical view unless you really love him, are a devout Christian, or see it free (which is what I did)
 
Huzzah for low-price UMDs. I watched Resident Evil and RE: Apocalypse for the first time. Overall, very well done, with good action, a thick story (for a horror film), good visuals, good characters, and, most importantly, something that remains pretty close to the video game's storyline/setting but also comes off as solid movies on their own.

A little heavy on the use of the deus ex machina, but this ain't Sense and Sensibility, it's a horror movie.

The only point of that movie was for action. Who was moved by 300 anyways, the only bad part
was when they all get swarmed and killed. That and he was so close to taking Xerxes' head off. But then you rejoice as the entire Spartan Army was about to kill them for taking down their comrades.
No one I know was moved.

Children of Men. Great movie all the way through. Little disapointed by the ending.

Open Water would be another one. Liked it all the way thrugh, but the ending sucked hard. If it's based off a true story
and both those who experienced it die
how the fuck do they know what actually happened?

Leone's Duck, You Sucker!

And, yes; Resident Evil is one of the worst films I have ever seen, in addition to being one of the biggest missed opportunities ( in terms of intellectual property ) ever to be shat all over the silver screen.

Never bothered with the sequel.

What kind of movie theater shows a kid's movie and an adults' movie in a double feature?
