Well, we've all seen them: absolutely terrible movies. So I can have some fun, I've decided to take up a jod here as a movie critic and insult bad movies while promoting good ones. I'll attempt to do this weekly, and might hire others to help while I'm gone. Let's start with Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween:
Rating: ** out of *****
Crap. Complete crap. They butchered an excellent movie.
There were far too many unneeded killing scenes, over three times that of the original movie. Alot of them were overlengthed, too, which made them even worse.
The actors and characters were just terrible. Laurie's character was terrible when compared to the original movie's Laurie. Her voice sucked, her lines were terrible, and they made her too dorky.
Then there was how they overlengthed the ending. The ending in the original movie was brilliant, though this one concentrated too much on violence and angle-age (which also sucked). It was also really hard to follow at certain points. Not too mention Laurie's screaming at the end.
Probably the only good thing about the movie is how they extended Michael's backround. An abusice step-farther, a sex-obssessed sister, a mother with no clue on how to improve her family, and the constant bullying at school were unique and somewhat cool, but overall the entire movie sucked.
Well, that's it this week. If any of you have suggestions for me to do (whether good or bad), please PM them to me, and I'll try my best to watch it as soon as I can so I can criticize it. Bye.
I agree, I haven't seen the movie yet, but it looks like complete crap, I watched the original halloween, I didn't really like cause the graphics and acting pretty much sucked as well, but the new one does look ok with the graphics, other than that, sucky....
The original one was one of the best horror films ever. What made it good was instead of concentrating on murder and violence, Carpenter used the low budgets to his advantage and made it suspenseful and thrilling. The fact that they rarely ever showed blood only further proves that point.
yeah, those parts were good, but I myself liked H2O better...
Such is the curse with many remakes....
yepp, remakes are never better than the original... unless...

For movie remakes...I don't really know about that, since I can't think of any movie remake that I like at the top of my head.
For VIDEO GAME remakes, on the other hand...well, you'd be wrong. ;)
Yep. They spent far too much time with scenes where Michael kills someone.
i assume then that you arent from america, americans enjoy killing scenes, it's what we watch movies for!
I don't know what you're talking about. Some(far from all) watch movies for good plot, and interesting characters rather than unecessary killing or sex jokes.
And perhaps an even smaller number of people can enjoy both sophisticated and unsophisticated films.
lol @ false dichotomy
I'll be doing Hostel 2 on Saturday. Just a heads up.
*checks to see what board he's posting in; sees it's the Chatboard*
No.
How about moving away from the domain of crappy-as-hell horror movies and examining movies that actually have substance?
Or are you incapable of doing that? :-\
Ooo! Ooo! I know! I know! Review Austrian romantic comedies!
I just chose that because I had also seen it along with Rob Zombie's Halloween. And I've only done one so far and mentioned which I'm doing next, you can't judge everything I'm going to do with just two movies. ;)

Yes.
Guess I can't argue with Commodore. *shrugs*
I prefer the Bourne movies. They're very good.
I intend to read the books sometime this year.
Sorry I didn't do it yesterday. :'(
Movie: Hostel 2
Rating: ***** out of *****
.....Awesome. Very much so. Surprisingly good considering how terrible horror movies are today. It's brilliant. Definetly not for younger watchers (that means you, Pein! :P ). Every little scene and character were great. There isn't a better horror movie out this year. Watch it! >:(
Sorry this is kinda short, but with good movies, you rarely have much to say.
I have no confirmed choice for next week, so please give me a suggestion within the next 3 days. If I haven't watched any of them, I'll just choose a movie from my own collection.
Bye! :D
Isn't it HOSTILE? Just wondering..
no it's hostel
let's try not to review crappy horror movies?
A hostel is sort of like a hotel for groups; and it's where the film takes place at. So yes, it is Hostel.
In the series, rich people from countries outside of the one with the hotel auction to kill those who stay. It's very bloody.

And also very retarded. I can't believe you actually liked it.
Whocares, you just pulled an
epic Whocares.
Don't you have a pic for epic Whocares? Or do you not want to risk overusing it?
It's my pic.
Well, there's that. Also I'd rather save it for situations where someone exceeds around 50 Megaurkels.
Whatever. Somebody make a suggestion or I do Mannequin, that really terrible 1980s movie. ::)

Do Bourne Ultimatum.
Or an Austrian romantic comedy.

*slaps Whocares again*
Austrian! NOT Australian! There is a BIG difference!
I suggest you review the Legend of Link... One (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7573426796770713155) Two (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8113238663847801210) Three (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7966235459721003522) Bonus (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7532616152204191764)
Have you seen "Saw?" I'd like to hear your opinion on that.

that's why i said i guess i'll try out the new pic, now you deserve the even newer pic!
(http://a489.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/83/l_7704f69fea3dfb3fb1752ed271c85250.jpg)
I hardly think I deserve that Rabies. And I'm starting to get sick of our constant treating of JDog and Whocares like our punching bags here.
And you yourself are saying how you hate watching them being treated like this. Yet here you are using pictures to make fun of them. Sounds pretty hypocritical of you.
As creator of the "epic Whocares" meme, I could retire it if you really think it's a problem.
...And by "retire," I of course mean "stop using." ;)
I would appreciate it. There's been a slew of them lately.
I'll stop the Jdog thing then too.
You two aren't the ones I'm particularly angry with right now. Rabies, to my knowledge has voiced sympathy for JDog and Whocares to other members. The fact that he still uses those pictures despite that is why I'm angry with him.
Well, I think mostly it was in good fun. I believe that Whocares was actually in the conversation where Commodore created the pic, I'm not sure though...

you see... in my conversations with members i've talked about on this subject, my exact words were always: "it's ok to poke fun now and then, but it isn't ok when you do it en masse" and this has been the first time in awhile i made any jokes about them
I would hardly call what we're doing to them right now, a little poke. This might have been one of the few times you did it, but it all just goes together in the mass of other insults and pics.
By your logic, despite the mass of insults they're getting right now, it's ok for you to do it because you don't do it often. Then, also by your logic, it would be ok for every other member of the site to do it because they don't do it often.
Yes, forget I'm here, listening to you. ::)
I really could care less about what he's doing (I for one think it's funny for my case; haven't seen him make fun of Jdog actually). I, in fact, actually liked the "epic Whocares". You can use it all you want (refering to all of you).
Hooray, Zoidberg is right! Jdog's going by Nausea now, if you haven't seen him around.
...Huh?
Anyway, I actually support the use of Epic Whocares. I, for one, think it's funny, and take no offense to it at all.
Well, now that we have that settled, how about reviewing a movie? This is what this thread is about, right? Or was I lied to again! (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l267/Hi-n0_Selj1n/Emoticons/mad.gif)
As said, it would be easier if people were to actually give me suggestions. So far I have recieved a grand total of zero.
I suggested Austrian romantic comedies. How many times do I have to say it? Austrian romantic comedies!
This time I have a feeling it's Austrian Romantic Comedies.
...........................
Nyaaaa!
At least you didn't say Australian this time. (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l267/Hi-n0_Selj1n/Emoticons/tongue.gif)
Now I have that Australian feeling back. 8)

Wouldn't it be a little hard for Whocares to understand Austrian?
Also, Whocares, you should give Transformers a go.
Austrians speak German, most of the time... besides, there's always subs.
What Fisk said. Also, films and shows from other countries can always be translated into English and have English voice-acting (though it'll probably make the movie suck). Otherwise, Americans wouldn't be watching shows like Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist.
Or as LittleKuriboh pointed out. They dub stuff from America, and fill everything in with British voices.
