I watch a ton of movies, and I like to let people know what I thought about them. So check out my reviews and if you have a suggestion for one feel free to drop me a line.
I’m not a huge fan of “found film” movies, but jesus, this movie hit the nail on the head. This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. What I really liked about this movie is that even though it is centered around a pretty hot button political topic, it explains the extremes of both sides of the argument. You are going to feel bad about the people being abducted, but you are also going to understand (to an extent) the reason why they are doing what they are doing. You won’t necessarily agree with the actions being taken, but its hard to argue their reasoning. Oh, this is a movie about militant patriots that abduct mexican boarder jumpers and torture them. Enjoy!
Two thumbs up. Loved it. It wasn’t an over the top gore fest, but there was sufficient fucked-up-ness. It was the perfect amount to balance with the emotions that the captives were dealing with. Watch it with people or alone, won’t matter, the blood will still splatter.
About 3/4ths of the way through this movie, my fiance turned to me ans said “is this movie supposed to be scary?” To which I really had no answer. I thought it was supposed to be a scary movie, it had everything a scary movie needed, but just didn’t manage to get scary, ever. The last 5 minutes had a few shots that were startling, but nothing that will leave you feeling scared more than a few seconds later. The film is more of a look at how someone’s imagination can overtake reality than a movie about ghosts, just keep that in mind when you are deciding whether or not to watch this.
I’d give it one thumb up and one down. It was pretty boring of a watch, but the story was pretty interesting. The twist at the end was okay, but I don’t know if it was worth the time it took to build up to it. If you liked House of the Devil you understand Ti West’s story telling a little more and maybe will appreciate this film for what it is.
I didn’t know Justin Timberlake was so into communism and bringing down capitalism… This movie is amazingly left wing if you actually pay attention to what is going on. The concept for the movie is pretty interesting, and as badly as I wanted to find plot flaws, they kept answering my questions and explaining how things were supposed to make sense.
I enjoyed this movie a good bit. Justin Timberlake holds his own in thie sci-fi “thriller” set in a future where cars just make the same sounds as leaf blowers and people have clocks genetically engineered into their arms that dictate the length of their lives. EVERYTHING else in this future is pretty much the same as today, except the obvious segregation of classes, but we have that now too, we just don’t have walls… yet.
Over all, I give it one thumb up and one sideways. I actually really enjoyed watching the movie. The story was pretty interesting and the premise was very original. The only thing that bothered me was realizing the communist aspect of it after watching it that kind of stuck with me. Watch it and share your opinions with me, maybe I’m fixated on something that isn’t there.
After watching this movie, I spent the whole day wondering “What the fuck was this movie missing?” Then when I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep it hit me… A FUCKING TWIST! Without giving away too much, they very vaguely hint at what could have been an amazing twist. Sadly the fact that they didn’t run with it the whole movie, I think I was picking up on something that was actually wasn’t there. Sad face.
The little troll people/fairies/gnomes/whatever were kind of interesting at the beginning of the movie, but as it progresses and you start seeing them more and more, they actually get less and less scary. They actually reminded me of Golum from Lord of the Rings.
One thumb up and one thumb sideways. The story isn’t that bad, and its fairly entertaining. You are going to yell at the screen when the little girl starts doing all the things you know she shouldn’t be doing but does anyways (or else there wouldn’t be a movie). Its a decent watch, but it lacks the twist I was hoping for.
Have you ever watched a movie, and thought… wow, that was extremely linear and I’m not sure if I liked it or didn’t? That is this movie to a T… or possibly C+. The trailer got me all excited for a comedy about inner city kids in London fighting an alien invasion. What I got was a movie that was a badly done Ali G parody with gorilla/wolf/bear aliens with neon blue mouths chasing kids around a tenement building that harbors a drug dealers weed house. All the jokes are centrally derived from either weed or calling someone a pussy for not punching the alien in the face.
In short, this movie is just bland. It lacks a certain spark or plot twist that could have made it great. I give it one thumb up and one thumb down. The aliens looked pretty cool, but that was about the best part of the movie. Give it a watch if you are bored.
Tomorrow, I’m going to watch all reader requests that are available on instant view. Now I can’t guarantee that I will get through each one, I will try, and I will write something for all of them. So feel free to throw in any last minute suggestions.
This movie actually had a surprising lack of boobs, but not of laughs. I’m pretty sure I almost peed a little during a few scenes. Who would have thought that a movie about a group of friends taking the whole summer to plan an orgy together would be so funny. I was half expecting this to beAmerican Piestraight to DVD style with raunchy dick jokes and tons of boobs flying around with very little plot or emotion, but was pleasantly surprised that it was the exact opposite.
Spoiler alert, you are going to see an elderly man’s flaccid wang. Don’t think that there is going to be no sex, because there is. I’m giving this two thumbs up. It is a really incredibly funny movie and you won’t feel awkward watching it, even thought there is a kiss scene that yes… you will most likely put your hands over your face because of how dog damn awkward it gets. Rent this flick and get your laugh on.
“If wanting a lot of money is gay, then, yeah, I’m Elton John.”
That quote pretty much sums up the movie… a lot of immature jokes strung together into a fairly funny movie with a pretty predictable plot line. Don’t get me wrong, you will laugh a lot, but really, don’t expect to much from this movie. I’m also starting to think that Danny McBride might only know how to be Kenny Powers…Aziz and Nick Swardson are fucking hilarious in this movie, so you do have that to look forward to.
I’ll give it one thumb up and one sideways. It was a decent watch, but it might as well have been a made for TV movie on Comedy Central. There isn’t really any re-watch value to it, but you will have a few laughs before its over.
“I love these high school girls. I keep getting older, they stay the same age.”
It is kind of cheating reviewing a movie about teenagers set in the 70’s for my 420 movie reviews, but fuck it, I’ll take the slow pitch. The entire movie is about partying after the last day of school in 1976, and the lengths that kids would go to to drink a few beers and smoke a little weed. Guess what, Ben Affleck is in it! Long story short, this is a coming of age tale where next year’s seniors hunt down and paddle next year’s freshman and paddle their asses with home made paddles. Fun for the whole family!
Two thumbs up, its a fucking classic. Please explain yourself if you didn’t like this movie.
“This one’s called the brown bomber… because when you smoke it, it makes you shit your pants!”
This movie is a classic. A stoner video game tester in his late 30’s is so pathetic that he has to move in with his grandmother and her strange roommates? Count me in. I stood up in the theater and clapped when the line “balls deep” was said. This movie will have you rolling on the floor laughing. Also, keep your eyes pealed for a young Jonah Hill suckin’ on some titties for a solid 24 hours (in the movie).
“What does high score mean? Did I break it?” Two thumbs up. I could watch this movie on repeat and never get tired of it.
Who would have ever thought that if you fertilize your pot plants with the ashes of your dead homies, then smoke that weed, that you would be able to communicate with their ghosts? My question is how high was someone when they came up with that plot line? ITS FUCKING GENIUS! Then someone took it a step further and said, who can we get to be in this? Oh, lets get two rappers that are really hot right now! Brilliant!
This movie is beyond great. If you have any doubts, please watch it, and if you still think it was awful, you might be right, but you also may be a bit of an elitist prick who doesn’t get weed, dick, poop, and fart jokes. Again, this is a comedy about two stoners who smoked their dead homie to cheat on the SATs and got into Harvard. If that doesn’t sound like something you are interested in, don’t watch it.
Two thumbs up. Also the GZA has a small roll in the movie as a character named “Get Money”!
“You ever look at the back of a twenty dollar bill man?” “Yeah, all the time” “But have you ever looked at the back of a twenty dollar bill… ON WEED!?”
“You ever sucked dick for weed? I’ve sucked dick for coke. Weed isn’t an addiction.”
Do I really have to say more? This movie is filled with stoner jokes that are a kin to poop, dick and fart jokes. If you enjoy brainless humor, this movie is for you. If you are a fan of sophisticated, well thought out plot lines and intelligent dialog… maybe you should look else where for your viewing pleasure.
Two thumbs up. “Weed is a gateway drug.” “Mostly a gateway to junk food.”
(note: I haven’t watched this movie in a few years, so give me a break if I didn’t get the quotes exactly right.)
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you were high all day every day? If it would affect your health or brain function? Check out this documentary by comedian Doug Benson.
Doug (known pot smoker) brings us the parody of Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me by smoking a ton of weed and also dropping some knowledge on you at the same time. You are going to learn quite a bit more than just what munchies are the tastiest when you get baked.
From someone who doesn’t smoke, I still give this flick two thumbs up. There are a lot of really funny jokes and situations that happen, and you are actually going to learn about the medical marijuana deal in California as well as legal grow farms in Canada.
