Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Gentlemen Broncos - a little sad this didn't have a wider release in theaters (at least in indie theaters) because I think it would have found a small niche. I thought it was pretty good, more worth watching than a lot of other crap out there - 6.5/10
How on earth did they get Sam Rockwell to play that part?!
And of course Jemaine rocked

Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus : 1/10 And I like goofy movies. But this thing makes Mansquito look like Citizen Kane.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Burton's Alice - I would rate it as an 8/10 solely for how beautiful the PQ was on Blu; really well done, second only to Avatar as far as I'm concerned. The film is oddly paced and kinda disjointed but I really lost myself in the visuals. The audio isn't quite perfect, it seemed uneven in a few parts, but it was a great experience.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - 7.5/10
I finally came to the realization that this film isn't so much a sequel as it is a reboot of the entire series (consciously or unconsciously due to the bad taste TOD left in Spielberg's mouth.) The emasculated, Beta-male, gay-painter-disguise wearing, used-and-abused-by-women Indy for most of the movie most certainly was not the same man who just two/three years prior (going by movie chronology) faced down an entire thuggee cult and Belloq and the Nazis and had a "take her or leave her" approach to beautiful celebrity women he encountered. The prologue with River Phoenix just further cements the fact that with TLC they just cleared the palette and started from scratch.
TLC isn't a throwback to adventure serials of decades past, it has more in common with wacky 80's action comedies like Top Secret or Jewel of the Nile than even other Indy movies themselves. Tom Hanks or Val Kilmer could have easily played the lead in TLC, as its almost certainly a parody of itself for most of the film, and you wouldn't even notice. Heck it might have even been a better movie because it would have been easier to "get" the jokes.
I'd be more upset over it being such a poor representation of the Indy we knew from Raiders and TOD (he's every bit as emasculated in TLC as Vader became in the PT or Han was in the SW:SE) if it wasn't such a DARN GOOD father/son adventure comedy. Its a reboot, and a lesser version of the character on top of that, but it has a real heart, some fantastic action sequences, and is genuinely funny! Even umpteen times watching the movie I still chuckle when Henry drops the lighter on the rug, shoots up the tail of their biplane, and says "You call this archaeology?" As a cartoony adventure with even cartoonier villains, its a riot.
It does do harm to the character of Indy if you take all the films as one continuous story, but it doesn't need to. Each Indy film, with the possible exception of KOTCS, introduces the character as if its the first chapter in the story and closes out the movie with him getting the girl/getting married/riding off into the sunset. Very easy to compartmentalize the chapters and mix and max the genres to accentuate the aspects of Indy that you, the viewer, like most.
TLC is lesser, dismissable, even at times uninspired--but its still a fun, appreciated, and even "worthy" chapter in this beloved film franchise. Just make sure you're in the right mood beforehand.

Southland Tales 8/10 - A great off the wall flick. It was a VVTF at first but then just turned out to be a great watch. The creators had to have been smoking something to come up with that one.

My 3.5 year old daughter watches the animated Alice at least once a week, and really loves it. Do you think Burton's movie would have kiddie appeal or no?

Hot Shots, 1+2 - 9/10, i love Hot Shots, these along with some of Mel Brookes spoofs just show how pathetic todays spoof genre really is. Hot Shots and such take welll known films and base a new story set in a familier universe, We knew Hot Shots was parodying Top Gun without the facts and scenes being recreated almost shot for shot for the sake of a lame joke such seen in things like 'Superhero, Disaster, Date movie' Charlie Sheen has great comedic timing and its cool to see him riff along with future 'two and a half men' alumni.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
LOL. You know Mike, whenever I see a movie that I don't like and want to give it a bad rating, I always remind myself of the terrible flicks on SyFy and use those as the bench mark for 0 and 1. Is this the one where the shark bites the airplane out of the sky? This weekend I watched Mega Piranha and just laughed for its duration.

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Watched.
Yep, that would be it. Sadly, that's one of a very few times we see the shark in action. They skimped on the effects in a major way, and yet the flick is 2 hours (with commercials) long! Way too many scenes of Debbie Gibson standing on the beach looking out at the ocean.
Yea, the shark and octopus scenes had to be cheesy due to cost, but I don't have a problem with that. Cheesy effects is why I love a flick like this, and they opted out of that, giving us instead way too much dialog spoken by really bad actors.
It's also one of those examples where the director and or editor got their hands on a new idea (for them) and beat it into the ground. Here it's the use of changing the film speed and using light flashes to transition scenes. It serves no purpose, and they do it over, and over, and over...
But perhaps the worst is the use of on screen text to tell us where we are. When we haven't changed locations in the last three scenes. And they are using the same exterior shot every time to start the scene. YES, I GET IT! I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE!

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time: 7.5/10 Just came back from seeing this. It's a fun summer-blockbuster, but nothing more than that. The squabling between Dastan and Tamina was great and humorous, the action was awesome too

My 9, 8 and 4 year-olds loved it; but my daughter (the oldest) admitted "this is weird, it isn't anything like the cartoon."
