I heard this was freaking awesome. Movie of the year kind of praise.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Sounds great. Too bad it isn't playing in a lot of places but I see it is at the Az Mills Harkins.

How a movie like "Tammy" is playing everywhere and this isn't is beyond me?!

 

[Covert Rain]

I really really want to see this. I just have been so swamped at work and at home.

Honey booboo

Duck Dynasty

Real housewives

I think its not beyond you, you are just hiding from reality. I always look back to idiocracy, the movie ass. That is "Tammy" of this generation. People say shes funny, I just see a big girl who cusses, farts and acts like an idiot.

I see what you are saying, but she is just doing what many dudes have done before her. To me anyway.

Somewhat - shes like a crass, disgusting version of chris farley. Its funnier when you do like Farley and dont act crass and disgusting.

She was excellent and on a Farley level in Bridesmaids and in a smaller role, this is 40.

A movie I didn't like. Circle of life.

 

[MadCardDisease]

WOW! Wow! Wow!

Violent!

Brutal!

BRILLIANT!


I'm not a big fan of overly violent films. This one was borderline for me. However as much violence as there was it never got to the point of in your face over the top gore. It was also necessary for the desired affect IMO.

This movie won't be for everyone. However I loved it. Also has a pretty solid cast for such a low budget movie. I think many of you will enjoy it.

Wait so they can invent a "perpetual motion engine" but they can't stop global warming?

Actually they stopped global warming by spraying a chemical in the air which worked too well and in turn froze the earth.

 

[Gee!]

I don't know about this.. Something just don't sound right about this movie.. I've been pretty underwhelmed by this years movies anyways, and the past few years for that matter.. How many damn comic book movies are gonna be made? And then this... A train that never stops.. Ya ok, whatever..

Awesome

 

[cardfaninfl]

I believe this will be the most polarizing movie of the Summer; some will call it brilliant, while others will think it wildly overrated. I get this movie wanted to make a statement about class distinction, the distribution of resources, and the justifications used to excuse behavior toward others. I just believe it could have been done with more subtlety. At one point the acting, story-line, action and dialogue just goes so far over-the-top it jolted me out of the 'suspension of disbelief'. I spent the rest of the movie thinking, "Yep. I'm watching another silly comic book... er, graphic novel movie."

 

[Chaplin]

I liked it a lot. Maybe not "brilliant", but certainly enjoyable and quite a ride, literally and figuratively.

+1

 

[Covert Rain]

Crap...I really really want to see this. I have not had a chance yet.

 

[Stout]

This movie *was* brilliant to me. Yes, it's a dark, fantastic, over-the-top movie, but it all comes together perfectly, IMO. I giggle at times, did the 'oh crap' at times, tipped my cap at some of the misdirection, and just enjoyed the heck out of it.

"Blood", oh HELL yeah

 

[desertdawg]

It's on pay per view on COX right now, but at $6.99 I'm not sure if I want to ride the train. I reckon my wife is here so that's only 3.50 a seat...and she just brought me home a sixer... I don't know man.

 

[Covert Rain]

Finally watched it. This was pretty dang good. It had sort of a "The Prisoner" vibe to it for those familiar with the old BBC show. Definitely had some "graphic novel" moments as well. It was pretty different from what has been out there and had many good actors. Definitely worth seeing IMO. Will be adding to my collection when it hits Blu Ray.
