Movies - General Discussion

Management was quirky. She was forgettable, but the male lead (Steve Zahn) was pretty funny.

You're right about the parts she picks. Although Derailed had a twist on that.

Derailed threw me off too.

I just rented Mr. Brooks and thought it was pretty good.

All that stuff I said about Transformers 2? Double it, and then some for G.I. Joe. Woof, what a disaster.

I almost walked out on GI Joe

Coming from jaadam, that's incredibly damning. :-)

So Lifetime had a Jennifer Aniston movie marathon yesterday. It was perfect background noise while continuing to unpack. Her movies are enjoyable for the most part, though. And I saw a couple I had never heard of ("Derailed" and "Management"). Derailed was surprising.

Me and my wife saw Derailed and we walked out during the rape scene.

I don't care what the masses say, I am anti rape. I think it's bad.

So you never saw the twist in the movie, then. It sheds a different light on the rape scene.

That was a very different movie for Aniston, I thought.

I wasn't aware the masses were pro-rape.

Yep.

We found out later watching it on cable. But still, it was kinda grotesque the first time through. It might have been a good movie, but that scene made me feel dirty.

Both GI JOE and the latest STAR TREK abberation were barely able to keep me watching until the end.

CG can only interest me so much.

Really Gonz? I thought Star Trek was really good. I thought they did a great job with the storyline and the cast was superb.

I thought Star Trek was good as well, very well casted. GI Joe on the other hand, well I went in not expecting much reading the posts here, and it was just meh, not something I would go back and see again.

I guess I should have prefaced that I am not and have never been a STAR TREK fan (TV or movie). The trailers looked inviting enough this time around only to find that the whole concept still doesn't work for me.

Like I said, CG can only care my interest so far.

I never liked any JAMES BOND movies until the last 2 where the camera work (in HD) and action seemed worthy of a look see. I enjoyed the past two movies.

I figured I might be able to do the same with the STAR TREK franchise but noooooooooooooo.

To each his own.

Is the Bruce Willis film Surrogates worth a look? The trailer doesn't grab me.
