[Closed] Recent Viewing Part II

THE HANGOVER

A bunch of idiots who're bored with their lives and bitch (or non-existent) girlfriends go to Las Vegas for a friend's bachelor party and end up getting high on a particularly heavy and completely dangerous drug that was sold to them supposedly as ecstasy, thus smashing up the hotel's room (among everything else in Vegas), a completely messy last-night wedding with a stripper, a missing tooth, a missing friend and some other various comedic situations without really remembering what really happened. Was fun, gave a few laughs but can't understand what's the big fuss about this movie.....every american teenager's secret lil dream i guess?

Debney, save us all! That first clip is so much better. Fuck this MV crap from now on.

The clips that Erik put together really do show how much film music has gone down the toilet recently. That scene is immediately more exciting with some banging Silvestri tunes.

Yup

-Erik-

It works, but it's not the best.

Just finished watching about an hour ago "Van Wlder (3): Freshmen Year", since I enjoyed the first film.

Came in with low expectations. I have to say ... this is actually one of the better sequel films I have ever seen, in fact -- it's a prequel.

The story? The plot? Nothing remarkable, nothing deep or involving, but still fun enough. The first half of the film had some legitimately good laughs. Couple parts of the film went overboard, and I felt the second half of the film was not as good as the first half, but still okay to watch -- especially for free on TV.
The acting was pretty standard (were we expecting award winning?) and one character ws a terrible stereotype who seemed to serve no purpose what-so-ever.

Nathan Wang's score was servicable and sparce (a number of songs used). A little mickey mousing at times, but I definitively got the feeling he's capable of more. If there were ever a "Sgt. Bilko 2" and Silvestri was not available, I'd pick Wang.

Well, yeah. You knew and you still stepped on the shit mate RGW's score is very generically boring too.

One of the most irritating things with being a curmudgeonly film music fan is that a lot of the time, even the most hideous musical creations "work", in that they don't make the film any worse. Iron Man is such an example. It could and should have had so much more, though.

Passenger 57

I had great weekend. I like this action flick, very cool and one of the best 90's action film. Wesley snipes was good.

Peter Pan

This is one of my favorite fantasy films. Only one thing, i couldn't understand that even in this modern world, why these filmmakers could not come up with some realistic visual effects in movies? In Peter Pan, most of the them looks plastics and sets, nothing looks real. However, with good casting and excellent score saved the movie. I was quite delighted with brilliant score by James Newton Howard.

Independence Day

Will Smith steals the show all way. I wonder what if Will smith wasn't in this film, i believe it would have been awful. However, the movie was typical Roland Emmerich movie but i admire visual effects and sound effects. I like score very much.

Jurassic Park.

This is absolutely masterpiece by Steven Spielberg. John Williams score is another gem in the movie. In fact, i don't have to tell anything about this movie. Classic!

Shanghai Knights

This is great action comedy flick. Jackie Chan - Owen Wilson combination works again very well. Score was really good.

Oh! i have forgotten, there was nudity in movies like JP and ID4, in JP, all dinosaurs were naked, no costumes for them. and in ID4, scientists stripped aliens naked. So, how can you say there was no nudity involved in those five movies?

Do you write your own material, or do you have a team hard at work for you? I'm very curious.

Of course, i write my own material. But one thing i don't understand that are you seriously asking this question or just deliberately making attempt to make fun of me? Frankly speaking, you don't need a team to deliver timing jokes.

I was brought up like that. Many times my friends told me that i should try to enter cinema because they believe i could be best comedian in movies. You know sometimes, i will land in trouble because of too much sense of humor that i possess, for e.g take MT members, most of them still not able to understand my fun nature. That's quite pitiable stage. Hmmm.... only time will reveal my true nature to MT members.

RV: The Soloist

An OK film. It's nice to get a film every once in a while that is so focused on music. And it's also cool to know that it's a true story.
