Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
BLACK FRIDAY (2004)
Finally Chris Tucker and Ice Cube team up again in one of the best Friday sequels (which isn't saying much). The plot is matzo thin, but it's what you would expect; Craig and Smokey temporarily leave the ghetto and swap meets for the all white American Mall to try to get the best deal on a flat screen tv as an early Christmas gift for themselves.
Most of the jokes involve crass cracks on white suburbia, mainly concentrating on their shopping habits, style of dress, the name of the stores they frequent, and of course how no white person in a mall has ever seen a couple of black guys. However, there is a pretty funny scene involving Cube and Tucker trying to get soul food in the food court, only to lead them both to the food court restroom after eating "white people mall food".
Of course, plenty of weed is smoked in the pursuit of the elusive flat screen that seems to be sold out at every store which leads to the introduction of our two baddies, a pair of clumsy mall cops. One, a heavy set African American Woman named "Dee" (who rides a weighted down segway) and her polar opposite, a skinny white boy from the south who is hell bent on mall justice whose name is "Bo". Sound familiar? There hasn't been a decent mall cop since Lafours.
In short, BLACK FRIDAY is better than THE FRIDAY AFTER NEXT, but misses the charm that made the original likeable. I wouldn't add it to our queue if I were you.

Indie Game The Movie
Kind of a depressing movie. Seems like they edited it together to show the most stressful situations when the poor bastards were on the verge of mental break downs. Was not expecting so much "I'll kill myself if I'm not successful" stuff when I started it up. Movie is a real downer.
Will be finishing it up tonight stopped right at the moment when FEZ kept crashing at PAX was stressing me the hell out just watching it.

Better than The Starving Games, but still very meh.
Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
I saw that movie, I am not sure if they are over doing it or not but now I realise more than ever how difficult it is to make a game/app. I should know better because building a simple website might start getting you few white hairs.Fragems wrote:Indie Game The Movie

One thing it made me realise is that there are real people behind the apps. When you download apps/games, you just see the game not the people behind it and personally do not care. Like when you pirate something and do not feel guilt, but in truth some one spent a lot of hard time trying to make it.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
Still great.
So maybe April O'Neil wasn't stunning, but she sure had some nice stems.
X-Men Days of Future Past now has my attention:
At least it looks interesting. May or may not catch an advanced screening, but the trailer makes it appear that it will have an intriguing story, and not just stuff blowing up.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
@ Luke- did you also find the TMNT bluray bundle (all 3 movies) at walmart for $9.99 
? Also Day of the Future past looks like it is the quintessential boom or bust movie. It has all the halmarks of a great superhero movie, star power and some interesting cinematography (in the trailers), but then Hollywood rears it's ugly head and shows characters like Blink (from age of apocalypse) being super out of place in this storyline. So I am a bit scared about it being epicfail.
I watched Grand Budapest Hotel this weekend, and I found it to be pretty enjoyable. With the impressive cast and near universal critical praise, I had some lofty expectations going in... While the movie didn't wow me to that extent, it did it's job with some great acting and storytelling. There were some pacing issues here and there, but again, just nitpicking. I would recommend anyone going to see it, and I would watch it again in a few years time for sure.

Come on now, there's no way I'm the only one that picks up on Luke's completely fake (albeit pretty funny) movie review here.

No, but I certainly would love (at least the first two) those movies on blu-ray. I also have the first 6 seasons of the original cartoon. Hilarious tongue in cheek stuff.
X-men days of too many words for a title could certainly be terrible, but the trailer looks promising. That said, never judge a book by its cover, never judge a movie by its trailer.
