Watched Transmorphers last night. Downloaded it from netflix to my Xbox360. I was certainly expecting a B-Movie, this was just shameful. The story, aline robots take over the world driving humans underground.

A group of human rebels comes to the surface to take the fight to the nearly indestructable robots.

If this move came out in 1970, the CG would have been terrible. There was a lot of 8-9 (hotness scale)Chicks in the movie, and a lesbian couple to boot. Nobody in the movie was older than 40 and there were no kids. The acting appeared to be the first foray into a real movie from the pits of porno for many of these girls. There was a girl fight.

The "invincible robots get tooled by about 10 humans who while they are shooting the robots with some plasma pulse rifles and pistols, are constantly engaged in conversation about day to day affairs. Also they say “copy” or “copy that” about 1000 times when someone talks to someone else.

The robots that fly, conveniently land and stand still while the humans shoot them. The humans kill about 100 of these robots including one giant one who basically does nothing more than stand up and then get killed. Somehow the killing of these 100 robots free the entire world from all robots.

I mean these thigs took over the world, yet killing this specific 100 of them causes the clouds to part and a blue sky to emerge for the first time in the last 100 years.

Also, it’s not like they did a (months later) thing, not it was immediately after the big robot fell, they are all still standing out in the open battlefield, the clouds part and then dissapear, and everyone is just standing there smiling like idiots. Also there is a contrail from an airplane dominating most of the sky. So apparently, as soon as this robot was killed, they had airplanes up and traveling around the sky.

In the end I couldn’t possibly rate the movie as the worst movie of all time. I did laugh uncontrollably, but like the nerd in highschool, I wasn’t laughing with him, I was laughing at him.

You know, I’ve been debating renting Transmorphers for a while and after reading your review, I’m still unsure. :)[/quote]

It’s one of many hack jobs from The Asylum.

Other titles include “Death Racers” and “The Day The Earth Stopped”.

I still have not seen Gone Baby Gone, which I hear is really good.

Have any of you watched Infernal Affairs? The first one, as there are three but they are unrelated supposedly. Hong Kong cinema…cop and robber flick. Well done.

I am worried about Gran Torino not being anything ‘new’…

While sitting here trying to give a good expectation of what ones experience would be while watching I have it pinpointed. It is exactly like getting tickled mercifully. It’s annoying and uncomfortable, you are yelling stop the whole time but all the while you laugh uncontrollably. This movie is like tickle torture four your brain.

hahaha…the titles of those movies alone just make me laugh. I was walking the new release wall a few weeks ago and saw “The Day The Earth Stopped” and almost fell down from laughing so hard.

That trailer looked amazing though. C. Thomas Howell AND Judd Nelson?! How did they manage to line up that kind of star power? I better put that at the top of my queue quick!

I watched Hook today on AMC today. It doesnt matter how old I get I will never get tiered of watching that movie.

I mean what a great cast. Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Bob Hoskins and Maggie Smith.

But its really Hoffman and Hoskins that make the movie, they are funy has hell together

Smee: I’ve just had an apostrophe.
Captain Hook: I think you mean an epiphany.
Smee: [gestures his fingers to his head] Lightning has just struck my brain.
Captain Hook: Well, that must hurt.

Captain Hook: No stopping me this time, Smee. This is it. Don’t make a move Smee, not a step. My finger’s on the trigger. Don’t try to stop me, Smee.
Smee: Oh, not again.
Captain Hook: This is it. Don’t try to stop me this time, Smee. Don’t try to stop me this time, Smee. Don’t you dare try to stop me this time, Smee, try to stop me. Smee, you’d better get up off your ass. Get over here, Smee!
Smee: I’m coming. I’m coming.
Captain Hook: Stop me! This is not a joke! I’m committing suicide!
[Smee makes the gun go off which aims at the toy ship in the pool model]
Captain Hook: Don’t ever frighten me like that again.
Smee: I’m sorry.
Captain Hook: What are you? Some kind of a sadist?

Classic, that shit makes me laugh every time.

1126

watched Pan’s Labyrinth last night.
I’d only watched it once before, still a great film, even if it is a spanish-subtitle.
Guillermo Del Toro is the Man.

No offense, but that is the worst movie ever. Sounds like I was watching part of it on AMC same time you were.

I saw this in the theater.

  1. Robin Williams is horrible in this movie. It takes like an hour for him to do anything but act like the grown up Peter Pan…so you basically have Robin Williams, one of the funniest guys around, not being funny intentionally for half the movie. Then when he does start acting like Peter Pan he’s still not funny and he looks extremely gay flying.

  2. That latino kid that plays the head of the Lost Boys was horrible. The only good part of the movie was when he died and had one of the greatest ‘dumb’ lines ever:

Dying Latino Lost Boy: Know what I wish?
Robin Williams :What?
Dying Latino Lost Boy: I wish (arrrgh) I wish I would’ve had a dad like you.

  1. Julia Roberts was horrible as Tinkerbell. Not only did she suck at playing Tinkerbell, the movie was too cheap to put her in any scenes with anyone else because then they would have had to pay for special effects to make her look fairy size. The majority of her screen time is her sitting around with her big horse face doing that Pretty Woman Whore Getting Her Hand Snapped by the Jewelry Box Laugh.

  2. The kid that played Robin William’s son was really un-cute. He looked like he was cold and had a runny nose throughout the movie.

  3. Dustin Hoffman’s accent comes and goes throughout the film.

  4. The fat black kid that played the fat black lost boy could have ruined the film on his own when he says, ‘you’re playing with us’ during the painful to watch food fight scene.

These are just 6 quick reasons I hate this movie. I rememeber being really excited when I heard they were making this movie and then almost walking out on it when I went to see it.

I did see it later at a 99 cent movie theater and bumped into this chubby girl with big tits that smelled like bread I hadn’t seen in a few years and having sex with her that night and the next few nights, but that’s the only good that come out of Hook in my opinion.

Best.Review.Ever.

1129

Slumdog Millionaire. Totally overated, but still a watchable movie. The lead actress is stunning.

Let the right one in. Swedish vampire drama. An interesting twist on the genre and well worth a watch.

ok this would have been funnier if he had said “I wish I wasn’t dying” lol.

Yeah, that would’ve been funny in a good way.

Serialy?

I thought I’d get a ‘Dude, you’re obviously out of touch with Peter Pan specifically and pop culture in general.’

Looks like my movie reviewer star is on the rise.

1133

Memorable Quotes actually has a page for Hook. I forgot Peter’s son’s reply to the latino lost boy dying:

Rufio: [after getting stabbed by Captain Hook] Do you know what I wish?

Peter Pan: What?

Rufio: I wish I had a dad… like you.

Jack: [tearfully] Oh, Dad, I’m sorry.

This was a particularly embarrassing moment also:

Rufio: [while fighting Hook] Lookie Lookie, I’ve got Hookie.

This was even worse:

Rufio: [falls to his knees holding his sword up in his hands] You are the Pan
[Peter takes the sword from him, draws a line in the sand between him and Rufio and all the lost boys run over to stand behind him. Rufio stands up, Peter bows to him and he returns the bow]

Not trying to pick on the guy that said he liked this movie…I can see how someone would (not really), but I didn’t like it.

Who wants to talk about Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood movie that came out around the same time and sucked realy bad too?

1134

atrocity.

I was going to give you shit about about calling the kid that played Rufio a Latino, when he’s Filipino, but I decided not to. :stuck_out_tongue:

Terrible movie. I loved how Costner would lose his ‘accent’ throughout the movie, but I still liked Alan Rickman in it. He had all the best lines.

Sheriff of Nottingham: [to a wench] You. My room. 10:30 tonight.
Sheriff of Nottingham: [to another wench] You. 10:45… And bring a friend.

[the Sheriff has said he’ll cut out Robin Hood’s heart with a spoon]
Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it’s DULL, you twit. It’ll hurt more.

Sheriff of Nottingham: [after he stabs Sir Guy of Gisborn] At least I didn’t use a spoon.

I could be remembering it incorrectly, but I don’t think Costner even bothered with trying to do an accent. It would’ve been okay, but everyone else in the movie kept gaining and losing their accents.

And don’t forget that horrible Bryan Adams song. That movie ruined my image of Costner, Christian Slater AND Bryan Adams. 3 of my heroes/role models up until then.

I’m gonna stop now as I feel like I’m hijacking as this is not the dumb ass movies I once saw thread.

1138

Taken: Think “Commando”, but with less guns, more car chases, and much better acting. Simple, straight forward plot. Basically a training documentary for dads who’s daughters travel abroad.

1139

I am watching “Appaloosa” with Ed Harris, Viggo Mortenson, and Renee Zellwigger(however you spell that name). I had read the book and liked it, but the movie isn’t so great. And Renee is so freaking ugly in the movie. She must hate this movie.

The book was much better

7 Pounds- Will Smith delivers again, yet in a roll which is not suited for him. Don’t get me wrong, he has a huge range as far as acting goes, but his role is not like one you would expect. I won’t spoil it for anyone, but I would consider this a rental or worth waiting til its on cable.
