Coffy69 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Does anyone else think this year has been one of the best years for films in a long time? IMO, it's been the worst since at least 2002. I have high hopes for The Social Network, The Black Swan, Somewhere, etc redeeming it somewhat, but it's been pretty horrible.I'm looking forward to The Black Swan, but something tells me that The Social Network could potentially bomb. The trailer looks great, but I have the feeling they crammed all the best bits into it....Bomb in the sense of not making $...almost certainly, people are stupid. But the post-Toronto critical buzz was raptuours, and Fincher's been pretty steady with his one masterpiece, one interesting failure model since Se7en and The Curious Case of Benjaminzzzzzzzz was most certainly not a masterpiece so everything's very much on track. Plus Aaron Sorkin screenplay! No doubts here.It can't do worse than Pluto Nash or The Secret Life of Dentists.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuddMckagan Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Tropic ThunderMeh.More like 10/10Yeah, I don't get the meh.... It's damn near flawless, for what it is.It was alright, but nothing spectacular. Robert Downey Jr. played an awesome part though, so it gains points for that.

GivenToFly Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The fake trailers at the start alone are better than most full length comedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoon87 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) I had to watch "The Book of Eli" last night. Meh.. Gary Oldman was good, Denzel Washington not so much, the story was as soon as you got that it was all about the Bible, but it looked fantastic on BluRay. A from me for having Tom Waits in it.

LightningBolt Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I'd like to ask you all a pretty big favor. I go over my sister's apartment every Saturday and we (my sister, younger brother, and brother-in-law) usually wind up watching a movie. Burn Notice is over until November and we're almost finished Season 2 of Breaking Bad, so we're going to be watching movies every weekend until Burn Notice starts back up (and probably even then, too, since it's only an hour long). What movies would you guys recommend? Just assume we haven't seen anything while making your lists. They should be semi-appropriate (no nudity is the biggest thing, swearing's fine, just preferrably not huge amounts at once, but it's fine). Anything that pops to mind that's pretty appropriate would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to help us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious you mean. I never laugh at movies, but when I went to see Hangover I couldn't stop laughing. It's different at the movies though, all jokes seem funnier. Or maybe that's just me.
