Movies - General Discussion

I watched XMen yesterday. Hugh Jackman's cameo was the best part of the movie.

I thought the guy that played Magneto did a great job.

And although January Jones seems like a bitch, she looked great in it.

Saw Transformers Dark of the Moon last night. Good movie but didnt blow me away. It was cheesy at times but the action sequences were great. If you are on the fence about weather to see it or not, wait for the DVD

saw it as well. I agree, good movie, not Michael bay's best. But it could be the best as far as special effects and explosions I have ever seen!

So... How's the new Megan Fox?

I can't get into watching and Shia LeBoof movies.

Not as good as Megan Fox ... but Michael Bay did a good job with her role in the movie, which didn't make her bad acting noticeable.

I saw Transformers 3 for the 2nd time and liked it better.
Definitely one of my favorite action movies.

Went and saw "Bad Teacher." As it was funny. Despite some pretty nasty scenes. Cameron Diaz cast against type, actually was funny. A real teacher acting bad would be out looking at another job you know.

Saw "Horrible Bosses" today. Nothing too surprising here but I did find myself laughing very hard a few times. I'd recommend it for a good laugh.

Jennifer Aniston's character is nasty! Quote: "I fingered myself so hard last night, I broke a nail!"

She was on Inside the Actor's Studio last night. It was kind of a weird interview. She didn't really have a lot to say and gave short, clipped answers.

Three movies I've seen recently:

Just Go With It - dumb

Bad Teacher - mediocre

Winter's Bone - excellent. Totally deserving of its oscar nods.

I gotta say.....movie critics and sports writers are among those who overvalue their work and opinions in the large scheme of things.

These are "journalists" who write opinions pieces as though they are fact....and then really fail to get their facts straight and the work reflects subtle undertones of massive amounts of envy. His assessment of reynolds career reeks of envy (and maybe someone who's turned him down for an interview). I'm quite sure that RR doesn't give a shit if this guy thinks he's a star....and probably never gave him a thought when he was banging allanis morrisset, scarlet, Olivia Wilde....or when people magazine named him the sexiest man alive (I had to look those last two up for the purpose of this post.....I love moves but don't follow their lives)

While I tend to agree with the general notion of hollywood shoving some actors (actresses) down our throats......the idea behind "star" power is closely related to a person's ability to sell movie tickets, magazines, and generate public interest and aproval. They are all likable.

Then he chose his list of movie "stars"....and includes justin timberlake on it?

And BTW...I came here to say I just saw Insidious. (before I read JD's article and went on a rant)

If your a fan of scary movies I recommend it.....the director is a little heavy on the scary background music at times. But the movie definitely gets a 9-10 on the creepy factor.

Can't wait!

Who is the villain and who is doing the acting? Ledger stole the show in Dark Night. A lousy villain will put it in the drink.

Opps, just looked and I should have remembered, Anne Hathaway is Catwoman with Bane and Ras' al Guhl
