Favorite and worst...

[Drighton]

I have one favorite movie that I can watch repeatedly and not get tired  of seeing: Hackers (1995), Staring Johnny Lee Miller (recently in Aeon Flux), Angelina Jolie, Marc Anthony (the singer, small role), Jesse Bradford (from the swim stalker movie), Matthew Lillard (Scooby doobie doo!), and much more. I find it more of a comedy than a serious movie, especially now-a-days when a 28.8 bps modem is considered old school.


I hate: Napolean Dynamite

My friend bugged me about it forever, telling me it was SO funny. I have a pretty good sense when it comes to movies, and it was telling me to steer clear of this one. One day with nothing to do (I just wanted to chill) he puts it in. For the next 30 mins to an hour it was dead silent. Probably halfway through, he noticed I hadn't made a peep nor chuckle and asks if I want to turn it off and did so before I could answer.

My review: Not funny.

Whats the big deal? Everyone raved over this movie like it was zaney and witty comedy. Some might accuse me of not getting the humor. I got the humor, it just wasn't funny. Even thinking back on the movie - the tatertots in the pocket, the picture he drew of that chick, the wild grandma, the time machine, etc - not even a pity laugh. I definately has nothing to do with the target audience, because my best friend, with whom I share many similarities, likes the movie (not in the sense that he would watch it over and over and belly laugh).



BUT, I wouldn't expect everyone to get why I think Hackers is such a great movie.

Mr Bean sucked too.

Just, just try to explain to me how... how, you're still alive? Because you really should be beaten senseless by a Rowan Atkinson/Eric Idle double team.

A history of violence!??!! How about this...*Violently attacks Charaman* My god boy..that moive..was so boring..the sex scene was crazy..it was as if he was attempting to rape her XD I think it might have been boring because the soundtrack wasn't all that great..in fact, I don't even remember if there was one..oO

I actually liked Van Helsing, mainly cause Hughie was in it, and he's hawt..<.<;; >.>;;

Anyone seen four brothers? That movie was friggin awsome, loved it. I must get the dvd <.<

HAHAHA, I guess you're talking about the stairs scene? I mainly chose it based on the merit of the last 15 minutes. William Hurt was amazing.

[Midnight9795]

Yeah, that was the only amusing part, oh and then there was the guy who played 'John's?' brother..he was funnie until he died. That was about it tho..

[charaman]

It had a mood about it. I can't really capture it.


"HOW DID YOU **** THAT UP??!"

[Midnight9795]

 Because any documentary by Michael Moore is good to me. And this one he was better than ever.

If you actually went to Columbine and lived in Littleton, youd realize how full of crap Michael Moore is. That movie was just another "blame someone so I can get money" thing for him.

I totally forgot to mention how awesome just about any Miyazaki movie is.

[Smokey_locs2006]

Monty Python isn't funny it's just random...

Movies That should be shot:

So many.... The first and the remake of War of the Worlds.. It suucked So badly and I'll just end with this movie.. Mystery Science Theater,
oh oh and how could I forget Monty Python movies.... GARBAAGE!!!.
Mr Bean sucked too.

Don't Be A Menace. Great movie. Wayne Bros for ever!

EDIT:

MP and Mr. Bean are good. You should die.

Oh, and Charaman. The Excorcist? Scary? How can ANYONE find that movie scary? The Blair Witch Project is scary begin evening and will almost kill you if you watch it (first time) at night in or near the woods. The Exorcist is not even 1/100th as scary at night. It's more comedy.

[Midnight9795]

The blair witch project was corny as hell..None wants to look up some girl's nose  :p  I love LOVE how the gintch (sp?) stole christmas, with Jim Carrey and Bruse almighty XD Also, I love the pest..funnie movie and hitch was great too.

Agree, blair witch was boring and corny. When I say i liked the Exorcist, I don;t mean because it was scary. I like it because it was a well made film that wasn't just about making you jump.
