Hell yeah... I think this is in South Africa.

I just watched The Hangover and, while pretty funny, I am struggling to find why it is labeled as hilarious and why people are/were raving about it.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I just watched "Knowing" on DVD it actually was pretty good. Definitly a good rental.

I watched it "on Demand" last week. That movie threw a sick twist on science and the bible. I loved it.

My wife bought me Watchmen on Blue Ray last Friday. There is nothing quite as entertaing as mindless sex and violence playing from a blue ray disk onto a 52" Aquos. I may never watch another DVD in my life. Watchmen itself wasn't all that great of a movie but it had its moments.

^ Loved Watchemen read it also. the need to make a movie about Roushard (sp) and his life that dude is just plain bad ass.

I agree... I think I'm the only one out of my friends/co-workers who felt the same way. I guess I'm not a huge fan of contrived situational comedy- I prefer dialogue (and witty humor when it's raunchy).

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I thought the Hangover was an absolute scream. My face hurt when I left the theater from laughing/smiling for two straight hours. If you don't have an uptight approach to the film and just go into it realizing it's going to be a raunchy off the cuff type of comedy, you'll love it.

Haven't seen Watchmen or Knowing yet. I think District 9 is going to be a really good one.

I LOVED The Hangover. I also think that there was a lot more subtle humor (mostly provided by Zack Galifiankis) that might have been a little buried by some of the raunchy stuff.

I really agree with that last sentence, which is exactly why I think it will be even funnier the second time around. I may see it again tomorrow.

I don't know, I have mixed feelings about that one. It looks good from the previews and at the same time looks like it could disappoint. I think I am going to wait for it on disk or something.

On another note I am going to see GI Joe this weekend. So far the reviews from the premier in the UK have been great. I will have to turn off my military bullshit meter to watch it and enjoy it for what it is (Fantasy). Seeing how I enjoyed the cartoon as a kid it shouldn't be that hard.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

let me know about that, angry. the more i see the previews, the better it looks

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I still have not been to the movies in about 10 years. My time is coming with the little one now 2 1/2 she is getting close to the age. I actually enjoy childrens movies and enjoy watching the chidrens reactions to what is going on. Adults hide the emotions some while kids just let them fly as they are getting into a movie.
