Weekend Movie Review

1. I like Methos.
2. I like the premise of Highlander.
3. Actually I've never seen any Highlander movie other than the first one and I've only seen about 60% of the Highlander TV episodes. But that (and 5 minutes at the IMDB) is more than enough to write #75.
4. Call me demented, but I really like to see peoples' heads get chopped off. Admit it - you like it too. In fact, everyone does. It's just human nature.
5. I watched Survivor all summer and never really liked it.
6. Half the appeal of Highlander, Star Trek, or Britney Spears comes from looking down on pop culture.

Bitter rant for the day - courtesy of the Highlander franchise:

Hi, I'm Duncan Macleod. I am an ultra-sexy alpha male with absolutely no character flaws AT ALL. Or at least that's what I want everyone to think. I had them rewrite the script to "Highlander: Endgame" ten times in order to uphold my monumental vanity. In this movie I get to kill all the bad guys, fuck all the chicks, and then chop off Connor Macleod's head at the end. (Sorry, but like *duh* you all know that's how this movie will end.)

Hi, I'm Connor Macleod. No one can understand how the fuck I ever got cast in the first Highlander movie. I can't act, am legally blind in both eyes (cataracts) and laugh like a Goddamn retard (i.e. "heh, heh, heh" with a 2 second pause between each "heh"). To top it off, my attempt at a Scottish accent is about as convincing as a Catholic priest's oath of celebacy. All I will say is that I had to bob nob like a madman for 3 months to get that role.

I liked the cell,

Jennifer Lopez looks great and can act toO.
And I like her voice.

But otherwise, it is just another psycho killer movie.

anyone seen Hollowman , its only just come out over here (.au)
is it any good?

Art of war was really cool,and in the previews I saw that there will be another highlander flik with the original highlander and the guy from the tv series,this should ROK!

I could have done without the intestine pulling scene. I mean, hey, i play violent video games, but theres something about the insides of some wrapped around a stick thats being cranked so they are pulled slowly out of the body that disturbs me.

Of course, if Jack isthe same guy on goatse.cx, he might like that type of thing.

I think you were too kind. This movie = sucks. The effects were pretty cool, but I'm over forgiving crappy movies for cool effects. Episode 1 anyone?

Im going to throw up, or eat pizza

Gimme a break guys. The Cell was a pile. At least 10 people walked out 40 mins into it and I would have as well if I wasn't responsible for driving the rest of the gang home. After the flick I found out if I said "Let's get outta here" they would have all gladly left. Don't waste your money guys.

The Art of War was a pretty neato movie... :)

it tried to keep you guessing, but if you know action movies, you know exactly who the main character will end up fighting at the end...

FrO

Jack's review is right on.

The movie's a retread of lots of other films (and of just about every psycho killer idea ever dreamt up by Chris Carter). But you don't care terribly much because visually, it's roaringly good. And speaking of roaring: the sfx for this film have advanced my schedule for a hearing aid.

Vince Vaughn is underused, as Jack says, but so, in the most important way, is Jennifer Lopez. As a performer, Lopez has exactly two moods: mommy, and sex thang. We get plenty of the first, which is more than enough. But of the latter, we get -- what? Her in underwear digging around a refrigerator? Come on, she's no actress, she's the Raquel Welch of her generation: so get widda booty! I'm not paying for another flick she's in unless it's BOOTYLICIOUS!

Wow...
I actually agree with Jack for once.

That's pretty much exactly how I felt about the movie... the effects were cool, the story was lame, and the acting was decent...

I just rented Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai last night.

God damn that movie was cool.

Martial Law was a good show but the Fuckers a CBS got rid of it!!!!!! CBS pulled a Fox

My main complaint is that the movie was fucking sick

I personally thought this movie was excellent. It was a bit typical in character development and the like, but they way they portrayed the mind was superb. The little things that were fucked up were the best.
most definatly a dvd for my library.

The director of this film has actually done numerous music videos, and a bunch of european comercials

Is this movie really that sick? I'm not into sick movies so maybe I'll skip it. For instance I'm a big fan of Nicolas Cage, but I couldn't bring myself to watch 8mm knowing what it was about.

people, i went into the theater to see that movie SHIT-FACED DRUNK

i'll tell you now, that is a totally whacky experience

when the horse got cut up into little slices, i was like "WHOA, WHAT THE FUCK, IS THIS HAPPENING OR IS IT IN MY HEAD?"

LOPEZ ONLY HAD ONE GOOD ASS SHOT... that was the only reason i went to see it in the first place. it was a pretty shitty movie.

b00la

I've never even heard of this movie before.

Underused Vince Vaughn? I always figured Maarten to be the closet homosexual. Geez more like greatly underused Jennifer Lopez's ass, nude.

beta 7 is out.

He did not even get first on the topic he made..sad.

Anyways, I saw the Cell.. I did not care for it much.. and definitely not as scary as people claim it to be.. like "I lost sleep over this movie", because I slept more last night after I saw it than I have all week.

"The Joy Luck Club" still makes me cry like a lil pussy boy... (if I'm alone) *sniff*

i saw "bring it on" last night...... some what entertaining, lots of chicks though

Go back to your tacos Jack. More Vince Vaughn would mean less Jennifer Lopez, and that is definately a bad thing.

First!

hah

Nice try jack :P
