Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

lol wtf. No way you actually saw this and posted this review. It’s a satire. This is like saying don’t watch Dr. Strangelove because it’s pro war!

Legally Blonde

Watched this last night because my wife and I are going to the musical on Wednesday (we weren’t specifically interested in this musical, but we got it as part of a five-pack).

It’s got a few good scenes, but it’s simply not a good movie. It’s just dumb, and not the funny/smart kind of dumb like in Romy and Michelle or Clueless. Basically the same joke of dumb girl does dumb thing, dumb girl overcomes dumb thing, repeat like 10 more times.

I’ll probably still enjoy the musical, but I’ll probably skip Legally Blonde 2.

all cult classics, along with legally blonde. you just gotta watch it as a satire on ivy law schools

Totally.

I was disappointed with this, felt like a long setup that didn’t really pay off.

This movie is A++ low budget horror. Barbara Crampton was involved so you know that’s a good sign right there. Also, Ti West is in it, whom you will know as the up and coming director of amazing movies like X and Pearl.

If you mean the 1971 movie, I saw this just a few months ago and recommended it here. Way more intense than I was expecting, A+ home invasion thriller. If you mean the 2006 movie starring WWE wrestler Kane, that looks very promising.

Think Occulus kinda fits this bill as well and is a big recommend.

Who is Ti West in Youre Next? I just watched it yesterday

It’s for kids, made by the people who made Minions a gigantic franchise.

It’s going to be awful and make a billion dollars.
The Sonic movies were super successful.

Thought the trailer looked better than any non Pixar kids movie.

He gets arrowed early in the movie according to Wikipedia.

Yes, and his earlier movie The Sacrament was what convinced me to watch X.

The Sacrament is a great double feature with The Endless.

I effed this up. I meant to say See For Me. It’s on Shudder (or Hulu).

I can’t wait. It looks amazing.

Were you not a fan of the Super Mario Bros Super Show?

My favorite episode was the one where they traveled to the future and remade Iron Man with Mario.

Saw this last night. I like a movie that does what it says on the tin, basic haunted house but it’s underwater is what ya get here. I at least had fun with the spooky underwater cinematography as they’re exploring the house, which was way more competent than I was expecting.

The same!!! I thought it would just be a fun premise, but it also had quite clever scenes.

No one watch Poker Face. That was the worst movie I’ve watched in years.

First I was like nooooooo!

but then I realized it was this

not this

There have been and as far as I know will only ever be three good poker movies.

  1. The Cincinnati Kid
  2. Rounders
  3. Molly’s Game

Everything else is unwatchable.
