As my wife put it, "What's the point? He can't bring her back. It's just one bad guy killing a bunch of other really bad guys."
I enjoyed it for the most part, but she does have a point.
yeah. it's all about vengeance, really. i suppose one could argue they didn't get that concept deep enough in the story.
I just watched Tinker Tailor Solider Spy last night. I'll give it an 8/10. It was slowly paced but it did keep my attention. A very quiet and complicated sort of James Bond-esque movie.
My GOD is this film bad. Roger Moore is at his absolute worst here, and he's lumbered with a script that makes him look downright incompetent (Stacy Sutton gets the drop on a secret agent?). The only person having any fun in Mr Walken, and he alone can't save this thing. It's just awful.

This is one of my favourite Roger Moore Bond movies. Moonraker, Spy Who Loved Me, Octopussy, they're all so samey, this one's a bit weird and off-beat and has some great action sequences. Theme tune rules as well.
I'd say the theme tune is the best thing about it, and I missed that, so I didn't see anything I'd call good!
I just posit that Roger Moore was a terrible Bond, given how he smugs his way through everything. For Your Eyes Only is the only one that really seemed to challenge him and got a half-decent performance out of him (the scene where he kicks the guy in the car off the cliff was uncharacteristically dark for Moore, and it was awesome as a result), and even then there's other things about the film that were problematic.
But I'm getting kinda off topic here. Let's wait for Ryan to make a James Bond thread and we'll discuss it there.
I caught the Star Trek Movie marathon on Sci Fi, so...
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (9/10)
Now I know why everyone likes this movie so much. Ricardo Montalbán was a great villain. His over-the-top attitude works because he was genetically engineered, genuinely believes that he is greater than human beings because of it, and he'll do anything to get his revenge on Kirk. I really liked the idea of the genesis device being both a source of life and a weapon. I also liked Kirk's son and his gradual acceptance of Kirk as his father after he saw how he responded to danger and then the loss that followed. And the scenes at the end were really touching. They actually brought tears to my eyes.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (8/10)
I don't know why people don't like this movie. The return of Spock was handled well. I also thought the Klingons were the perfect enemies to want the Genesis device's destructive powers for their own. Christopher Lloyd was excellent as a villain too. You really felt for Kirk when he kicked him in the face and sent him into the lava after what he did to Kirk's son.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (9/10)
Still my favorite of the original cast Trek movies. I love time travel stories, and this one was handled well. I liked the idea that other species might want to talk to other intelligent life on Earth than humans, and that the life-forms they were looking for were wiped out by human hunters in the past. The fish-out-of-water story of Kirk's crew in 1986 were great, and I loved how they used the fact that they had a Klingon ship instead of the Enterprise to great effect with the cloaking device.
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (6/10)
I can see why people don't like this one. It was OK, but it had the potential to be much better. I get why they had the shore leave scenes with Kirk, McCoy, and Spock, letting them bond and trying to get Spock to show his human side after he became unwilling to express that side after his Katra was returned to him in The Search for Spock. But it was drawn out. It would have been much more effective if they only had half of those scenes, and if the movie stopped after Spock played Row, Row, Row, Your Boat rather than having them sing it again at the closing. The stuff about finding God was definitely interesting, but his reveal was a bit long. They really didn't need all that blasting. One shot at Kirk would have been enough. It's not a bad movie. There is good hiding under it. However, there's too much filler in the theatrical cut for my taste. I might search for a fan edit to watch it again without the un-needed stuff and then re-evaluate.
Star Trek VIII: First Contact (9/10)
My favorite film of the Next Generation crew. Like I said above, I love time travel stories, and this one is done just as well as The Voyage Home, albeit with a menacing villain rather than with humor. The Borg are definitely one of the best, if not the best, villain ever seen in Star Trek, so it's fitting that they'd be used in a movie. And they were used well. There were new facets introduced of the Borg, that I know a lot of fans didn't like, such as the Borg Queen, but I thought they worked well. It never bothered me to think that the Borg Queen might have been there all along (after all, the Borg are referred to as part of a hive mind, so a queen would make sense), or that Picard might have forgotten her after he was disconnected from the hive mind (it would make sense that they'd have some safety precautions put in place in the unlikely event that someone escaped the collective, and since the queen had never made herself known it would make sense she'd want the memories of her could be erased after disconnection). The Borg wanting to time travel makes sense too, as they'd surely assimilated a species capable of time travel, and after scanning Picard's memories would know about the tactics of him and his crew. They know that the Enterprise will always do the risky thing to save their species, so it would make sense they'd try to eliminate them from the equation.
I recorded Star Trek VI, but haven't watched it yet. I remember liking it a lot, but I haven't seen it in years, so my opinion might have changed.
When it comes to Star Trek III, most people agree that of all the 'bad' Star Trek films, it's the best.
And when I think of Alex Cross, Tom Cruise is not who comes to mind. I am VERY nervous about this.
Woah, I was thinking of something entirely different there. Sorry!
That'd be pretty ridiculous if they recast Morgan Freeman as Tom Cruise. I probably wouldn't feel so hurt if that was the case. I would just be in a state of silent bewilderment. Plus, it would be easier to just write the movie off. As it stands now, I feel obliged to actually watch it as Kiss The Girls and Along Came A Spider are guilty pleasures of mine. I still know I'm going to hate the movie as I don't like the actors and the trailer looked uninteresting.. Bah.
Sweet Christmas, this film was awful. NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS. It's one of the most boring things I've ever had to sit through. The plot feels like it takes place over a week and a half, the characters are uniformly unlikeable, you could replace the actors with cardboard cutouts and you'd get better performances, the action scenes are ineptly shot, there's no tension whatsoever and it's just an absolute chore to get through. Lord knows how it got to be so popular. Even the Rifftrax barely manages to make it tolerable. An absolute blight upon humanity and everyone who claims to like it should be punched in the face.

Who’s gonna judge you? Everyone knows the movie practically turned vampires and werewolves into latent bisexuals. Aside from that, the movies just SUCK.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (8/10)
I don't know why people don't like this movie. The return of Spock was handled well. I also thought the Klingons were the perfect enemies to want the Genesis device's destructive powers for their own. Christopher Lloyd was excellent as a villain too. You really felt for Kirk when he kicked him in the face and sent him into the lava after what he did to Kirk's son.
Search for Spock was cheap, but, yes, NO ONE can ever beat Christopher Lloyd at being the villain. And I really don't care if it's Star Trek, Roger Rabbit or Dennis the Menace. I love the actor and STILL he scares the shit out of me whatever the franchise.
Hope I'm not stepping on any preferences, but the whole Nimoy-wants-out-forever oh Nimoy-wants-in-again thing really shows. This is not a "we want to tell a story" approach to a movie. It's a "we have to find a reason for Spock to return" approach.
...not that this specific bar of cheap wasn't even significantly lowered with Star Trek X. :eek:
Star Trek XI, you mean. (there are 6 TOS and 4 TNG movies before the reboot)
I didn't think it was cheap in either movie to have Spock return. To me, 2, 3 and 4 really do feel like the "Star Trek Trilogy" as they are one long story. The only thing about XI is that a supernova and a "black hole" are rather weak on the creative side. For one, there has to be something more believable than an ultra mega supernova, and second, Trek has long since used the word "singularity."
Also, Spock, McCoy and Scotty all appeared in TNG without being cheap. It's an homage, not cheapness.
After all, what I found a bit cheap in Star Trek III was PERFECTLY mirrored in X in the treatment of yet another character/actor who "wanted out" just like Nimoy and STILL left himself the back door open in a most unsatisfying way. Blech.
I'm absolutely OK with XI ("le reboot"), caught it twice at the theater, and am presently considering the Blu Ray purchase.
Also, Spock, McCoy and Scotty all appeared in TNG without being cheap. It's an homage, not cheapness.
McCoy's cameo in the first episode felt a bit off to me. The others were there to tell a story, and they told it well. McCoy was there to... what, link the two shows together? It just didn't feel all that needed.

Oh... well, yes. Writing Data back in--after he specifically said in TNG:Time's Arrow that he liked knowing he won't outlive his friends--is lame and I disapprove. Data has had an ongoing quest for finding his own humanity, and the ultimate human sacrifice is to lay down your life for others.
Not to mention that, in TNG:Measure of a Man, Data also says that in backing up his memories they would be "Reduced to the mere facts of the events. The substance--the flavor of the moment could be lost." This also given the fact that B4's consruction is far inferior to Data, it makes no sense for Data to return to his old self completely.
Two things about all this, though. First, Gene Roddenberry said that only the shows and the movies are official canon, so bringing Data back in a comic book doesn't count. Second, given that Data's supposed return has no direct effect on the shows or movies, Brent Spiner himself has played no part in it.
Now, if what you're referring to is the end of Nemesis where Data's memories are resurfacing, I feel obligated to point you again to what Data said in Measure of a Man, which makes B4 more of a hope for the future that Soong's work is not lost rather than a way for Data to come back.
Again, B4 is not Data--not officially anyway. Data himself said there is an ineffable quality to memory that a simple data transfer would lack. That and Data transferred his memories in order to give B4 a proper chance at life. Data wasn't attempting to reproduce his own personality like Dr. Ira Graves did.

Officially...yes he is. Star Trek Online's continuity states that Data's memory engrams finally took over B4 and Data even assisted in upgrading the positronic relays so he wouldn't be inferior.
Frankly, I enjoyed Nemesis. Not my favorite, but hardly as bad as 5.
What. The. FUCK!!!! This abysmal, offensive piece of shit made me want to gouge my own eyeballs out. It fuckin' sucks, it suckin' fucks, it fuckin' blows, it's a piece of shit, and I wish my eyes had never been laid upon it. The Stooges would be turning over in their graves if they saw this movie, and, I mean, what the fuck were they thinking? They actually believed it was a good idea?! I have lost all of my faith in humanity just because of Bobby and Peter Farrelly. And really, Jersey Shore? JERSEY FUCKING SHORE!? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT FUCKING MIND PUTS JERSEY SHORE IN A FUCKING THREE STOOGES MOVIE!!!!???? *huff, huff, huff*
This movie is like a love letter to gamers of all kinds. The plot is very basic at first, but it quickly evolves into a pretty heartfelt story. Well, as heartfelt as you can get out of video game characters, anyway. Which is still pretty much.
The voice cast is phenomenal. Even though it's an all-star cast for the most part, the actors do a very good job voicing their respective characters and providing the majority of the humor for the film.
The animation is incredibly good, being able to create a feeling of reality at some points but also being able to capture the some-what choppy style of 8-Bit animation when necessary.
As for the soundtrack, not a lot really stood out, but it served its purpose. It fit the setting right and it didn't take away from the scenery or action of the movie.
The humor, as stated prior is tailored towards gamers of all kinds, from fans of the 8-Bit retro era to fans of more action-packed/story-based games, to even fans of more casual games (mostly kart-racing games, but still).
Final Verdict: If you go see this movie, you are going to enjoy it. It's easily the best video game movie ever made. (It's not based on anything in particular, but still.)
10/10
PS: If I really had to nitpick, I'd say that the puns in the "Sugar Rush" sections of the movie can get a bit tiring. I know that it's supposed to be the whole point, but still, lame puns are lame puns.

I am really excited for Wreck It Ralph....But then Disney decided that instead of giving it to us soon after the US got it (Maybe a week or 2) they decided to release it in the UK in February 2013! :mad:
A really magical film by the genius that is Terry Gilliam!
I love tall tale stories (I liked Big Fish as well) this one has a twist of Python (can't help that with Eric Idle in the movie! XD) but also a little bit of a dark edge and excellent humour.
Brazil is probably Gilliam's best work but this film has a lot of charm to it as well so I'd rank it second out of his movies.
But what I'm going to rate is the one-shot that came with it, The Consultant. Which I give a 10/10. It was only about five minutes, but it was five minutes of Coulson and Sitwell and it was pure brilliance. Also, made the ending of Incredible Hulk make SO much more sense and actually become extremely funny.
Went to the Kennedy School theater and finally watched Paranorman. Rather lovely movie not afraid to be who it wants to be. The movie is very well structured; all the scenes had a purpose and I never felt like I was lost or bored. The music was also very well done. I guess the only thing I can think of that could have been better was the development of secondary characters. However, that's very slight and the movie flows well regardless. If you haven't seen it already, it's definitely worth watching.
I saw the first two Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I liked the concept, but sometimes I just got confused...
Nightmare on Elm Street- 7/10. It...was okay. Sometimes I got confused as to whether if the situations were switching between nightmares and reality. Characters were not likable, except for Freddy.
Nightmare on Elm Street 2- 8.5/10. This one was quite better. I liked the characters, and it wasn't quite as confusing as the first.
Of course, after watching both endings, I just sat there thinking "What just happened?"
Technically this was the first Harry Potter movie last week. 6/10. The kid's performances really bring it down (and I know it's not really their fault, but even so, ouch) but otherwise it wasn't that bad.
Comments
Good sets, nice visuals, nice action, weak story.
As my wife put it, "What's the point? He can't bring her back. It's just one bad guy killing a bunch of other really bad guys."
I enjoyed it for the most part, but she does have a point.
...just don't ask what the stories to the other Crow films are. You'll regret it.
yeah. it's all about vengeance, really. i suppose one could argue they didn't get that concept deep enough in the story.
I just watched Tinker Tailor Solider Spy last night. I'll give it an 8/10. It was slowly paced but it did keep my attention. A very quiet and complicated sort of James Bond-esque movie.

I pooped in my pantaloons watching a quirky blonde and a Bill Murray impersonator get killed to DEATH by ghosts.
I give it a 0/10 because it scared me.

Damn good movie. Day-Lewis really pulled it off.
