Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

World War Z ended up being much better than I thought it would. Don't expect the movie to be anything like the book (if you've read it). They've simply created a whole new story and slapped the title on it.

If you want to spend your money, take the wife out for a movie, whatever, go see This is the End. Thats a laugh a minute movie in my opinion.

I'm also curious in checking out The Bling Ring. Anyone see it yet?

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Has anyone seen Kick Ass? I heard good things about it but it was from my comic book friends so their opinions are being thrown out (especially after the new Superman).

What is Kick Ass comparable to?

IT is awesome; somewhere in here I have a review of it. IMO a must see. Part two comes out this summer.

Kick Ass is definitely a good movie, I'm looking forward to seeing the next installment.

Just saw This Is The End last week, I honestly enjoyed the shit out of that movie. If you're a Rogen fan it's definitely a must-see.

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.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

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. ( Jim Carrey’s Rant Against ‘Kick-Ass 2’ and 13 Other Stars Who Hate Their Own Films - The Daily Beast )

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.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

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
