THE WHOLE NINE YARDS

This movie is a waste of time, but a fun waste of time. You've got Matthew Perry playing as Chandler Bing, Bruce Willis playing as sitcom appearance Bruce Willis, Micheal Clarke Duncan playing as a big Teddy Bear, and Natasha Henstridge as eye candy. It's a silly film where silly people do silly things, but the film doesn't come off as dumb, more as harmless.

I remember the first time I watched TWNY, I fell head over heels in love with Amanda Peet. Must admit that I still find her very attractive and wish I saw more of her these days.

If you have an hour and a half to waste and enjoy lighthearted comedies, check this out. At the very least you get to see Peet topless.

I agree with this.
Watched it years ago and may never see it again, but it was worth that first watch.

I put it in the same category as Galaxy Quest*. Nothing spectacular, nothing horrible, but entertaining enough to warrant a watch on a lazy afternoon. It doesn't require a lot of attention, and the characters act with in the realm of logic and common sense (for their character).


*Never found myself attracted to Sigourney Weaver, but hot tamales is she something to ogle in Galaxy Quest.

I'd never seen COMMANDO until just now.

It was pretty much exactly the movie I expected it to be going in. Yup. Awesome.

Had fun. I had a big stupid grin on my face for the majority of the movie.

The second time I've seen this, but the first was YEARS ago.

Still one of my fave films of all time.

Found out there's a 3D rerelease, but...

:cry: Anchor Bay's apparently not bringing it over stateside.

:evil: Also, the motherfuckin Hunger Games!!!!! Because an American verison of BR would be compared to The Hunger Games, they've put the project on ice. Apparently, they wanna wait until people forget about the wacky-named archery chick and Elizabeth Banks as a geisha crackwhore on her way to a Party Monster theme party.

The Blue Max

I have zero idea how true to life this flick was, but for a WWI film you can't be too choosy. The moral of the film is that man's ambitions could literally crash him. :wink:

Ha. I didn't realize this comic series was a rip-off until you posted this.

I want to get excited about THE GREAT GATSBY, but I can't. Baz Luhrmann's films give me a headache, and from the trailers, it looks like more of the same from him. With his movies I always feel like yelling "Could you PLEASE slow the fudge down for a minute so I can enjoy the movie?".

Won't be seeing Gatsby.

generic title, but surprisingly creepy and well made movie.
