Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

i watched the first hour of "searching for a friend" . .. it was not kick ass or funny as shit.

kinda depressing really.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Is Kick Ass worth buying in the $7.88 bin at Wal Mart? (Sounds like it) and Can I get a movie comparison like "If you like _______, then you'll like Kick Ass"

And Yes This is the End (Which I've been hyping for a while now) is about as funny as a movie gets. Its similar IMO in terms of laughs as Superbad, 40 year old Virgin and the Hangover 1.

If I found Kick Ass in the cheap bin at my local Walmart, I would definitely buy it. I'm not sure what other movie to compare it to, another action-comedy most likely, but don't expect a parody like (insert whatever lame parody movie has come out recently), I would say it's more similar to The Other Guys in that the comedy stands up as much as the action (aka not in the adult related humor category). It's good but it's not R related humor if you know what I mean. I also concur on This Is The End, it's the best comedy to come out this year imo.

Well, I saw Kick Ass finally.

Good movie. It held my attention throughout. I liked how it was relatable for the most part (then there was quiet a few over the top scenes). I'm gonna have to check out the new Kick Ass moving coming out which Jim Carrey stares in but is protesting.

I'd give it a 7.5/10. Good recommendation guys.

I liked WWZ. Only complaint i had was that the ending seemed a bit rushed.

Saw White House Down Saturday and Monsters University today.

White House Down wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Decent leave your brain at home and not think too much of the glaring issues that the movie gives you. Matinee or Redbox/Netflix it.

Monsters University is a very solid prequel to Monsters Inc. The family and I enjoyed it every much. Several nods to Monsters Inc in it. Fun for the whole family.

Yeah you got to give Pixar credit, they know how to make good films for all families to enjoy.

Saw Side Effects over the weekend. It was not bad, not great. Jude Law was good. Worth a watch

Very cool doc. I liked how the editing used the drug game's hierarchy to tell the story.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

I'm watching Swingers right now with a young Vince Vaugh and Jon Favreu. Its going pretty slow for me.

Side note, can't wait for the new Oldboy movie (yet spike lee hasn't dropped the new trailer and its coming out in october)

also Elysium with Matt Damon and Jodie Foster looks like The Matrix/Halo/and 5 other movies I can't think of put together into one potentially good looking film.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Swingers is an all time classic.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread
 

Took the family to see The Heat tonight. Funny movie. Similar in laughs to Bridesmaids and 21 Jump Street.

I'm still trying to figure out if Melissa McCarthy is funny because she's funny or funny cause shes fat. I wonder if she was skinny, if I still found her funny.
