Movie Thread

Thanks, I'll look into it. I expected Zombieland to be much worse than it actually was.

I watched KICK ASS just because of what I read here. That movie is funny as hell.

So I watched Hot Tub Time Machine last weekend, and She's Out of My League a few days before. I thought both were pretty good, but laughed a lot harder at the 'funny parts' in She's Out of My League. I found Hot Tub Time Machine to be more endearing than anything, even though I don't really remember most of the 80's.

Zombieland was freakin' hilarious! Even my wife was laughing at Woody's lines. He had some great quotes.

I want to see The Crazies still, since I'm a huge Romero fan, which makes me a little hesitant though...

Agreed. Bill Murray's part in the movie was hillarious too!

I watched The Square last night. It is a Kiwi film. It was a good movie, but the effect of what I like to call Catastrophic Drama was greatly reduced after having already seen movies like House of Sand and Fog, Requiem For a Dream, Amores Perros, etc. If you need constant action to keep you focused, this is not the movie for you.


Discussion if you've seen it:

It is basically a movie where adults continuously make one terrible decision after another, further digging themselves into a hole that eventually becomes an inescapable abyss. It has guns, betrayal, car chases, etc, but little to no action.
I think I was irritated at how there is almost never any hope for anyone in the film to rectify, or even get away from the consequences.

End.

I've been seeing the trailer for it on a lot of movies we've rented recently, so I added it to the queue. One of the guys in the trailer looks like Sam Worthington (the Avatar dude) but apparently it's not. Oh, and in case you weren't aware, Kiwis are from New Zealand.
