What was the last movie you've seen?

[sabrage]

I've seen enough movies to know what interests me. Madea does not.

[indecks]

I love how South Park is dead on with certain things.

Don't judge movies you haven't watched.

Fine to say "I'm concerned" or "I'm expecting more" from trailers, but c'mon.

Fair enough. You have one movie to win me over, what'llitbe?

Ted last weekend which was a hilarious comedy and Amazing Spiderman this weekend!!

[sabrage]

An absolute visual masterpiece, but I'd like to throttle the man responsible for the audio mix. I don't see why it's so hard to understand that making such a cacophonous soundtrack 10 times louder than the dialogue makes the movie damn near impossible to watch. I had to turn the subtitles on because I couldn't understand what anyone was saying without deafening myself 5 minutes later when someone screamed or Goblin started banging again.

It was never truly scary, but that's neither here nor there.

Hm. *looks through TPS dvd collection*.

Family Reunion isn't as good as the stage play. Still a lot of fun but not my first choice.

Diary of a Mad Black Woman is great, but it also feels like the head writers of Lifetime and BET got together to make a film.

Hmm.


I suggest MADEA'S BIG HAPPY FAMILY. It is a bit sappy, a bit corny, but you will laugh your ass off. The plot is a little thin, story is a tad predictable, but you'll laugh your ass off (see, I'm even tough on movies I adore).

The acting is solid though, and when the jokes work, they work. And don't let the trailer fool you, it's not all slap stick humor and one liners.

Oh, and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ain't bad.

It's very much SPIDER-MAN...again! It also feels like a two hour commercial for THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN in some ways, as they build up for a sequel. Parker's parents were kind of wasted, but we'll see them again.

The good: The acting. The score. The feel. The action. Everything that a Spider-Man movie should have in the first place, right? So fans of Spider-Man will enjoy this. The first two acts are better than Raimi's, by strides.

The bad: The same thing with most Spidey movies, the silly villain that Parker always looked up to. The Lizard's powers come and go like Mr.Hyde, which is consistent with the comic (sometimes) but he does the goofy talk to himself thing like the Goblin did.

The climax (most of the third act in fact) isn't good, the writing is incredibly convenient to tie everything and everyone together, there is a tag at the end of the movie that is shoehorned in, but it is still an enjoyable movie.

Sounds pretty consistent with everything else I've been hearing.

It's on Watch Instantly. Let me know when you're watching this, Stark, because I'm ready to rake it over a bed of coals. Also, "Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family".

[AppleQueso]

Look at it this way guys, next time Luke criticizes something you like, you can retort with "Well you like Tyler Perry movies, so yeah."

It's an improvement with similar flaws.

But still, it is an improvement.

And Sabrage, I think "Tyler Perry" is implied with anything remotely associated with Tyler Perry.

Get your coals ready BYROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOeheheheheheheheheheheheN.
