Man, that's difficult as some cheese ripens with time. But for funsies I'd say:

Emo-Man 3: Super Cocky Dancing Tobey had to have made you either hate the movie or burst out loud with wtf laughter. Also it brought attention to the fact that "That 70's Show" cast would have made for a way better Spider-Man movie.

Batman and Ninja Dry Cleaner: Batman blacklight hockey? Sure, why not? Who doesn't love a gang of derelicts who paints their faces with highlighters, because, ya never know when that might come in handy.

Tits in Leather: You got what you paid for; tits in leather.

Green Lantern: We've gone over this enough.

The only part of Catwoman I've seen is when Halle Berry's on the phone and she hops on to her couch 'like a cat'.

It was a funny scene.

I was going to put this in the TV thread, but this whole series was aired as a movie on Syfy and really works better when seen in its entirety in one sitting

This was really good. It had the same feel as the TV series with the directing and cinematography, and the music was very similar as well. The movie fits quite neatly into the show's mythology as a prequel. I haven't seen Caprica yet so I don't know if they are any references to it in the movie, but it's easy to follow for fans of the BSG show. The performances were all pretty good and I liked the story and the dialog too. The best part of this movie though

THE FRAKKING SPACE BATTLES!

The BSG tv series never focused heavily on action, but when it did it was quite an event, and the battles in this movie are every bit as impressive. Adama was quite the badass pilot I have to say. He was Starbuck before there was a Starbuck

Just finished Cabin in the Woods

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

If you're a horror fan, or a Buffy/Angel fan, it's a must see. I can't say anything else without spoiling the movie

For those of you who have seen it
This whole movie felt like it could have fit right into Joss Whedon's Buffy/Angel universe, which made me love it more. That whole facility felt like something Wolfram and Hart could have cooked up, and there is always talk on both of those shows of "the old ones." Angel in particular is the show where this sort of thing would have been a perfect fit, given how much darker it's always been than Buffy.

Cabin in the Woods gives me a taste of what Joss could do with a Buffy/Angel type show on a channel like Showtime or HBO.

I LOVED the ending! That's so very Joss. The world's going to hell. Now what? Joss isn't a guy who likes his stories to go for the easy way out. Personally, if I had to make the choice between murdering people and the world ending, sorry guys. I'd be bringing on the apocalypse. The gods are free. Let's deal with it and find a way to kill them.

Absolutely, there's so much I love about this movie.
The scenes after she lets the nightmares out, HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME!!! I watched those scenes again right after the movie ended

I love that casual, funny conversation at the end too. The world is about to end...good time for a smoke.

Sigourney Weaver! Awesome!

Was that a Trent Reznor song during the credits? It was pretty awesome

The little Japanese kids stopping the ghost, that was so funny. There were a ton of funny bits really

"Let's stick together guys"

releases gas

"Let's split up"

:lol:

"Fucking zombie hand!"

"Good job zombie hand"

:lol:

The eye rollingly cliche heroic moments with the jock dude right before he hilariously smashes into the wall :lol:

1. That should be in her epitaph. Really. "Sigourney Weaver: She was awesome." No other words are necessary.

2. Every time there's a scene where someone jumping some sort of obstacle in a movie, be it via motorbike, car, or what have you, I always hear the line "Flyyyyyyyyyy me to the Moon!" I'm not sure why that is, but I do. Of course in this instance my inner monologue only got so far as "Flyyyyyyyyyy me to the-" before he crashed and the moment was ruined. Then it's like, oh well, so much for that :lol:

Finally saw Amazing Spider Man last night. So it's better than 1 and 3 but not as good as 2. I thought the recovering of the origin story at least did enough new stuff to make it interesting.

Like has been said, he wasn't much of a peter parker. He came off as a guy who could have gotten the girl but pretended to be a guy who couldn't get the girl because it's cool to not be popular.

Connors was underdeveloped. His plan joined a long line of comic book movie villain plots that make no sense (batman, batman returns, spiderman 1). They did a much better job of establishing the green goblin turning evil and I think they tried too hard to be different when they needed to worry about making a good movie.

The editing was all over the place.

I still enjoyed the overall atmosphere and action. If marvel had rights to this property we know exactly what we would have gotten since all their films have the exact same tone. It was nice to get something slightly more serious without being as bleak as Nolan's batman.

Unlike Death Race 2 where the fight scenes and the races made up for the crappy acting, Death Race 3 had nothing going for it at all. Bad showing by Danny Trejo and Ving Rhames. The only redeeming fact of the movie was that it had the same actors as Death Race 2, but thats only goes so far.

Death Race 2000 - My wife had never seen it, and it had been since the early 90s since I watched it, so we enjoyed it Saturday night. It is a great way to end the week, with plenty of vehicular manslaughter and pissed off Slyvestor Stallone. Its hooky, its silly, its over the top, it has more nudity than I remember, but it is still a fun "turn off your brain and enjoy."
Agree on both. The Death Race remake thingy with Statham was good, although in no way related to the original besides the Frankenstein character... ah, great stuff.
