Nuk's 2010 (and beyond) Movie Tracking Thread.

[Nukleopatra]

This is just my own personal movie tracking thread, so I can keep track of all the shit I plan on watching this summer, and beyond. It won't contain any fancy dell/palooza reviews (those are great, by the way,) just movie descriptions, a couple thoughts and a rating. I would just continue posting in the ''last movie you watched'' thread, but I don't feel like searching through all of those pages just to find out what I've seen recently. Feel free to throw out some suggestions, shitty or otherwise - I'll watch anything. In extreme cases, though, I may pull a Roger Ebert and pretend I actually finished watching the movie, and move on to bashing it.

The Descent 2 - 2009.

''Distraught, confused, and half-wild with fear, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where she encountered unspeakable terrors. Unable to plausibly explain to the authorities what happened - or why she's covered in her friends' blood - Sarah is forced back to the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing companions.''

If you've seen ''The Descent,'' you aren't going to get anything new here. This time around you really won't find yourself caring one way or the other about what happens to the characters. During the original, I found myself thinking ''run, bitch, run....'' In this one, it was more like ''fall down, bitch, fall down.'' It certainly could have been worse, though..

1.5 out of 4.

Lover's Lane - 1999.

''A man who killed 13 years before goes out on the loose to kill his victims' children.''

Finished up my double header with one of Anna Faris' earlier films. She annoys me to no end, so I thought I'd check it out. I had a fairly good idea what I was in for, and it didn't disappoint.

I plan on watching it for a second time, before throwing it up here.. I'll try to do that with every movie. It'll be on here, though. Tonight, I'll probably go with ''Evil Bong'' and ''500 Days of Summer.'' I won't get much done this weekend, movie wise, since I have plans - but during the week, I'm going to try to check out at least one movie per day. New and old, because my collection is starting to gather dust.

Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009)

''In New York City, an estranged couple who witness a murder are relocated to small-town Wyoming as part of a witness-protection program. ''

I was browsing a movie site and saw a link to this one, and thought I'd give it a shot, since all I'm doing is posting at VSN, anyway. I've been a long time hater of Hugh Grant, and if you told me he was even capable of doing a decent movie, I would have laughed at you - and then ''About a Boy'' came along, which was so good, that I was able to set aside my hatred for Grant, giving him the benfit of the doubt. Unfortunately, ''About a Boy'' was a one time deal it seems, because he hasn't done anything even decent since. ''Did You Hear About The Morgans'' just put him back on my shit list.

dude.

dude.

I know. I know. ''1'' is way too high, but every time I see Grant's face ''About a Boy'' comes to mind, causing me to overrate every single thing he does now.

SJP is a bitch, can I get an amen???

 

[Palooza]

SJP is an ugly woman.

Amen.

Nuk, do you have a reliable web site you go to in order to stream movies? If so, can I get the link to it?

I sent you about five or six of my favorites.

The last link is the place I find all the cheesy horror shit that I can't find in rental places, so if that stuff isn't your thing, skip that one altogether.

PM please. I have a few sites, but they usually only have mainstream stuff, and streaming is my only option.

Why is every movie you watch always so shitty...



edit-Im not sure that makes any sense, why do you have such shitty taste in movies? I mean what could possess a person to even want to watch most these movies, maybe thats the secret to your powers...

From Paris With Love (2010.)

''In Paris, a young employee in the office of the US Ambassador hooks up with an American spy looking to stop a terrorist attack in the city.''

I don't about the rest of you guys, but as soon as ''Taken'' had ended, the first thing that popped into my head was - ''How much better would this be if Travolta was in it?'' Well, now we know. It wasn't really all that much better.

The Crazies (2010.)

I've been looking forward to ''The Crazies'' for a while now, so I decided to go check it out. We usually get one good horror film per year, but I'm hoping this isn't it, because it ended up being a major disappointment. Ran about 95 minutes, felt like a good 120 minutes - and just wanted it to end. Surprisingly it has gotten fair reviews from citics, though. I tend to enjoy movies more in the privacy of my own home, so I'll be checking this one out again in the distant future.

I started watching the Crazies and couldn't get into it. Might give it a second chance on DVD.
