Tater Totts Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just finished watching the first season of Breaking Bad. Does anyone watch this? I'm impressed. I absolutely loved it. Totally agree with you, it's amazing. Took me a while to get used to Hal from Malcolm in the Middle in such a different role but I absolutely loved every second of all three seasons.I'm watching it too and love it. Halfway through season 2 but I agree with you Dazed, took me a while to get used to Bryan Cranston playing such a different role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really impatient when it comes to waiting for the next episode so when I've got three full seasons ready to watch I'm like a kid in a sweetshop.Same as, finished watching first 6 Seasons of House about two weeks ago and decided to give Breaking Bad a chance as I had heard good things and now I cant stop watching.

iluvduff Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I watched the remake of I Spit On Your Grave... Decent movie with epic kills imo.. Loved that one scene that involved a bathtub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sleeping Like An Angel Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Enjoy mm. Let me know what you think of itOpinions on "The Road to Perdition"? Worth a watch?Is that the one with Tom Hanks and Jude Law? if it is watch it now, its really good.Thats the one thanks I'm going to give it a go. Could anyone recommend me a good creepy film?

From reviews to friends all i heard was Black Swan was a great movie. It was okay, but i thought that movies like the The Kings Speech, The Fighter, and True Grit blew it out the water. I even saw Black Swan a second time to see if i missed anything, i didn't.And i compare it to The Expendables because it was totally what most girls i know would want in a movie... The ballet/dance stuff, the mother daughter drama, all the cat fight stuff, the pressure of a young lady getting older in a competitive field like dancing, the all-star cast of portman/kunis/and cameo of winona rider, the stressed out craziness Portman was going through, etc... To me those are the makings of a movie which most chicks i know would love to see in a movie, where as in The Expendables, the explosions, action scenes, all star action hero cast is what every self respecting dude wants to see.

I remember Dolph Lundgren shot a guy with a gun that not only blew him in half, but sent his torso and digital blood across the other side of the room. That's when I realized you needed a lobotomy and a serious cache of verisimilitude to view this movie.On the flip side of the coin, I have no interest in Black Swan. Read enough Magical Realist novels in college to satisfy my taste for that genre. & the more people praise Black Swan, the more I just want it to go away so I can ignore it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.The Expendables was just a great big movie where dudes were like "lets blow shit up!" Im not saying it was an amazing movie by any stretch of the imagination, just awesome mindless entertainment. The type of movie you go with your friends to see, and kill a bunch of beers. I question anybody who saw The Expendables expecting some type of serious cinema. Edited January 27, 2011 by ohmygod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 It was like a homage to every other action movie. I enjoyed it but was a little disappointed by the cameos of Arnie and Bruce, like I was expecting them all to be fully involved. It was real a Sly, Statham, Jet Li movie. Where were you? Getting my ass kicked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I wasn't expecting it to be serious. Speed isn't a movie I take seriously, but I can forget about that because it's engaging and entertaining in a way an action movie should be.The Expendables bordered on farce; like it was consciously trying to be an action movie and make fun of one at the same time. Jason Statham getting a text from his girlfriend in the middle of a firefight? Silly to the point of insulting ones intelligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I was expecting Expendables to be this big unreconstrcuted action movie with every action hero ever bring his A game. But it was more of a self-reflective action- comedy. In fact the A Team remake was better. But still I'll watch Expendables on dvd and probably see it about 5 more times on tv.

I think the sequel will be rad.I think the idea is that it's a B-movie serial type thing. It could almost be a tv series like the A-team. It's the most cliched action movie story line ever. Flying into a dictatorship to save the day. But he basically did it for that chick. I knew as soon as Mickey rode into the garage on a Harley they were doing a spoof. Like Cop Out really, which supposedly everyone hated but was Smith's highest grossing movie. I think these movies are made for the dvd market. Predators was another one, doesn't make up to past glories but was entertaining enough. Expendables, A-Team, Predators - that wasn't a bad week. at least I left the house.

wasted Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Oh, it's just the GREATEST MONOLOGUE EVER!!! It's Mickey Rourke's monologue.Oh yeah, that was pretty deep. I thought his character was the only one with depth. Like I said I'll re-watch it. It's a bit overloaded with stuff but it's never boring. I can see the Mickey character coming into it more in Ex2. He's kind of sitting it out but I can see him coming off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
