The Simpsons Movie (2007)

Updated Jul 30, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Somehow I didn't mind paying $10 to see an extra long episode of The Simpsons at the movie theater and I hardly even watch the show on TV. The Simpsons Movie was good, lighthearted fun from beginning to end and at no point did I find myself getting bored.

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Updated Jun 18, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

If you're a super hero movie addict (I'm not) you'll probably have to see Spider-Man 3. If you liked the first two Spider-Man movies (I almost did) you'll enjoy this one too. Spider-Man 3 has some fascinating new special effects with sand and the action sequences are dizzying, but the flat characters and yawn/frown worthy plot left me shaking my head.

300

Updated Apr 9, 2007

3 people recommended this item

Description

If you didn't like "Sin City" you probably won't like "300". If you did like "Sin City", you might like "300". This movie is definitely worth watching just for the special effects and visual presentation of the landscape, but you have to be willing to accept over-the-top dialog for what it is.

Red Planet (2000)

Updated Mar 27, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I have to nominate Red Planet for the biggest bad movie ever. I wouldn't normally recommend a bad movie, but in this case the badness is so stunningly immense, I highly recommend you watch it just to experience the disaster that is this movie. I saw this movie in the theater and was minute after minute overwhelmed by how it continued its terribleness for an hour and a half.

Some movies are bad because they are done by bad actors and have no budget. Red Planet managed to hire some biggish actors, obviously had a budget for special effects and publicity, but managed to completely fail in the following categories: plot, story, dialog, acting, science, realism, continuity, believability, and any sort of enjoyability.

This movie is such a great example of how a big production can go wrong, I bought the DVD.

The Fifth Element

Description

I think this is probably a bad movie, but I can't look away when it's on. The only thing I really hate is that annoying character (you'll figure out who I mean quickly enough). For some reason whenever I see the title of this movie I mutter "mul-ti-pass".

Babel (2006)

Updated Jan 29, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Are they really coming out with better movies lately or are my standards just slipping? Babel drew me in completely, not letting go until the final scene. It did an excellent job of not letting me feel lost, and at the same time kept me wondering how events were related and sitting on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next. Like several of the movies I have loved recently, Babel portrays realistic human experience without a standard Hollywood plot line. Another one of the best movies of the year and we are only at the end of January.

The Children of Men should compete with The Departed for best film of 2006. Incredibly well directed, shot, produced, acted, and on and on. Very human, very real.

The Good Shepherd (2006)

Updated Jan 8, 2007

3 people recommended this item

Description

First Syriana and now The Good Shepherd. I feel there is a trend in well-made movies that are trying to make me feel historically uneducated. Though I probably missed half of what was really going on in this movie, I can still recommend it as one where you will enjoy how each scene is put together (even if I had a lot of trouble putting the scenes together into a storyline). Another movie I'll have to watch again. It's a plot, I tell you.

28 Days Later (2003)

Updated Feb 12, 2007

1st to recommend

6 people recommended this item

Description

I do not tend to think of myself as a fan of the horror movie genre, much less of the zombie subgenre. However, I really enjoyed 28 Days Later. It's probably because I am very much a fan of the "last humans alive at the end of the world" features and this film did an excellent job of portraying one of these scenarios.

The Constant Gardener (2005)

Updated Oct 24, 2006

4 people recommended this item

Description

It took me forever to get around to watching this movie simply because of the title. I thought for sure it was some slow moving British romance. Turns out it is slow moving at times, it does have British folk in it, and there is some romance, but none of these really describe the film. I managed to ignore the "corporations are evil" preaching and enjoyed it just for the action and suspense. Sure, I saw a more shallow movie than most because of this, but I'm a bit tired of preaching and am looking for shallow movies. Also, it was filmed on location and there are some great visuals if you like seeing different parts of our planet.

This movie is long, but I enjoyed every minute of it and didn't want it to end. Though I usually have a hard time following complex people plots, this movie kept me right there. I don't think I've enjoyed a movie this much since The Matrix (which it's nothing like, of course).

Saving Private Ryan (1999)

Updated Oct 12, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Tip: If it's a work/school night, don't start watching Saving Private Ryan after midnight even if you think you'll just watch a little and then go to bed. It won't happen. The action, special effects, and drama will keep you glued to the movie for the full three hours. I know it's hard to imagine Tom Hanks as a leader of troops in a war, but it turns out he is just the right actor for this character and he does an incredible job. The World War II battle scenes are second only to Band of Brothers.

The World's Fastest Indian (2005)

Updated Sep 18, 2006

2 people recommended this item

Description

At this point, you already know that you have to watch anything that Anthony Hopkins is in. I don't know how he can play so many different characters in so many different movies so well while not really changing the character from movie to movie, but it works for me.

This movie is a meandering, mostly heartwarming tale based on the real-life adventures of a New Zealand tinkerer. I hadn't read any of the history behind the story so it was fairly suspenseful.

I love movies that are different and this one is not like anything I'd seen before. The music was fantastic (bought the CD). I'd put this on my favorite movies list, but it probably isn't quite "unusual" enough given how many people watched and liked it. (via johnpolinsky)

I have no clue what this movie was about. It was well made, had good acting, good effects, and all that, but it really seemed like it was supposed to have a point and I totally missed it. You might want to get a little background and context before you watch it. (via johnpolinsky)
