Movies

[SHAG]

Hi,

Since I have been on sick leave (workmans' comp case foot injury at work), my girlfriend and I have been renting alot of flicks.

Lately, we have been renting a few good flicks such as Family Man. However, what is up with the junk that Hollywood has been releasing? Saving Silverman had to be the worst movie I have seen since renting some Playboy soft porn flick (I hate to say it but I was actually quite pissed at the movie with a chick taking her top off every other minute.) Saving Silverman had a few funny parts but the lead actress got pretty annoying. The three friends were the same way. A person who I liked his work,R. Lee Ememory, i lost some respect from with the "kissing" scene at the end. (Ememory was a real USMC DI in the late 60's. His lines in FMJ was extremely true to life according to an intereview he did a few years back.)

Anyway, Saving Silverman made the Ladies Man look really good. I don t know but it seems like comedy is not comedy anymore. There have been a few funny ones made. Most are just some crap thrown together. Scary Movie 2 I thought was one of the better ones in awhile. My girlfriend disagree to being equal or better to the first one.

Just venting,
Alan

Try 'American Pie 2', 'The Fast and The Furious', and 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'(When it opens) all excellent.

Where is he going to go about renting those movies again? I always rent old comedys from a few years back, the are wayyy better. I get them free to since I am that ultra deluxe gold card member at blockbuster

If anyone remembers the Clerks trilogy, it was always "Stoner Jay and Silent Bob". I guess Hollywood couldn't have that in a big mainstream movie. Damn political correctness.

Don't go see "The Fast and the Furious", as it is an insult to American cars!!!

A good movie to rent would be Friday, Army of Darkness is good too.

Apocalypse Now is a pretty crazy war movie. Not sure, but I think its based on a true story. very good

[Army]

Apoc-Now is out in directors cut now. 45 more minutes on an already 3 hour movie, that's a fourth bag of micro-popcorn! (I love the smell of popcorn at the movies, it smells like.....oscar nominee)

hmmmm...Star Wars trilogy (gold series), Braveheart(I dinnit get all drrressed up fer nothin'), all the Star Trek movies in sequence, Hamburger Hill (it don't mean nothin' man, it don't mean nothin'), Heavy Metal 1&2(ya gotta love the music!), Deep Impact (so you can see, me! +Tia Leone is HOT) Rambo trilogy (in sequence), and as many Abbott and Costello flicks that you can find!

[Load SM5]

Anything by the Coen Bros. Escpecially Raising Arizona and Fargo.
My wife and I also rented Proof of Life a few days ago and it was actually pretty good, despite the crappy reviews it got.

Agreed. I refuse to watch a movie that calls CIVICS racecars. I don't care how much you mod a civic, a 'stang or 'vette will beat it down any day.

if u like war movies get Das Boot or Stalingrad, they're both in german but they're good. they might not have them at the video store though
