Two Line (more or less) Movie Reviews!
Oct. 16th, 2012 01:04 pmPlease excuse the fact that most of these movies are for kids. I have no choice, although, I did see tons films like these BEFORE I ever gave birth. ;)
Here comes the Boom I would hit Kevin James SO GODDAMNED HARD that this review might be a bit skewed. This movie is super typical of many of his movies. Underachiever but good guy manages to pull his weight and become a really great guy and get the girl. NO suprises, but DUDE I TOTALLY FUCKIN' LOVED IT ANYWAY! *flails* And watching him get the shit beat out of him did nothing to quell my wicked thigh sweats.
Dark Shadows Tim Burton. Why? Why do you make quirky movies that SEEM like they will be good, but they rarely (or never) are? Would you like to know why? BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Just because someone is quirky doesn't mean they don't need to grow.
Diary of a Wimpy kid (dog days?) Okay, this film sucked, but actually sucked a bit less than the first two. (which sucked in ways that even the internet cannot fathom) The main kid is really kind of .. trolly looking? And that bothered me. (yeah, it's not his fault, but i can still be distracted by his ... odd little troll body). His older brother, although barely legal is pretty damn sexy. Over all, these movies are time I will NEVER get back.
ParaNorman Meh. Not horrible, but really didn't do anything for me or my kids. They do have a very non stereotypical gay guy which was nice, but not nice enough to save the film.
Hotel Transelvania Better than ParaNorman, but not much. No surprises and too much emphasis on Oh look at the cool monsters we created!. At least there was character development.
Hunger Games Whut? Really? This was what all the hype was about? I don't get it. It was a perfectly okay film, but I thought it would be OMG AMAZING and it was omg okay. I will have to assume that the books are WAY better.
Taken (the first one, not part two that's out right now.) When hubby started playing it, I was at the computer, and had to roll my eyes at how one dimensional the characters were. Bitchy ex-wife, vacant teenage daughter, etc. But once the action began WOW! I'm not sure that the dialogue got much better, but the movie was really, really gripping. Totally did not expect to like it.
Any movie reccs out there?
