Kinda. It is less absurd than those two for sure, since Paul is such an awesome character.

Saw "Battle: Los Angeles."
It was worth the $5 I paid to see it and the 2 hours it took to watch.
And that's pretty much all there is to say about it.

Re: Drabble Reviews Blog
It was $14 when I saw it - at a matinée. I cannot speak as casually about my experience. Twas lackluster, every military movie cliche together at on time, me ams disappointed. Wheelbarrow gun hands space invader was my favorite character, the rest of them can shove off.Mr. Tweedy wrote:Saw "Battle: Los Angeles."

The aliens live in our sewers and eat our poop. On that I was clear.

Yah, it was pretty godawful. It's not like I'm NOT going to go see an alien invasion movie and it's ones like this that make me wish I didn't live by this code.
And I realize that Michelle Rodriguez has a contract with Hollywood to be in every one of these movies for eternity, but does she always have to be a helicopter pilot too now? Gah.
Best line from Rodriguez--
"I got that naasty stuff all over my face!"

O, wait, wasn't there just a drabblenews post about a guy in GB with the poop fetish? Sounds like this movie would be porn to him.

Re: Drabble Reviews Blog
It depends on how much one paid, I suppose. For $5, I thought it was decent entertainment. If I had paid $14, though, that would have been pretty disappointing.

Anyone see SuckerPunch? I'm hearing brand new levels of pain. I want a breakdown.

Re: Drabble Reviews Blog
SuckerPunch is a movie scientifically engineered to help adolescent boys masturbate. That's what I got from the trailer, anyway.
The producers of such movies generally say things like "Blah blah blah female empowerment." (Because there's nothing more empowering than killing zombies while wearing a stripper getup.)

Re: Drabble Reviews Blog
Evaluation beyond the first blush reaction to the trailer that is. I'm hearing it is far, far crappier than just some piece of high budget, puberty pulverizing softcore. I'm hearing Matrix 2 level whiplash inducing action breaks, all that brutal sit and chat, with hyper convoluted 'idiot's philosophy.' Crapitude that may rival Last Airbender.
I wanted it first-scecond-hand. Rotten Tomatoes hasn't tantilized me enough. My god, I'm considering buying a ticket just to take in the stink. It's The Happening all over again.

Any pubescent boys that need help masturbating are probably beyond help. I'm surprised I'm not blind after my adolescence, honestly.Mr. Tweedy wrote:SuckerPunch is a movie scientifically engineered to help adolescent boys masturbate.

But you didn't think so at the time, did you? There is money there.
I predict we will see a Sucker Punch/Duke Nukem Forever combo pack at Christmas time. Moms will buy it.

Ninja Assassin - 23/100
I mean, who could go wrong with a title like that, right? Well, uh...
The storyline- not bad. Storytelling- pretty good, actually.
The action sequences- ok.
The fake blood- OH MY GOD! What the HELL were they thinking? Every scratch cause a quart of too-bright-red juice to come splashing out. The movie must've gone through several thousand gallons of the stuff!
One final nitpick. The CGI weapons crossed the uncanny valley worse than Neo in the Matrix 2.

I remember when I saw Kill Bill #1 thinking that the fight scenes and over the top blood-spewing were straight out of Shogun Assassin. Of course, Kill Bill #2 proved I was right in catching the reference.

Fantastic Mr. Fox - 89/100
This is a very artistic movie. All stop motion. Very enjoyable.
These fellas swung for the fence with a quirky, unique style and they managed to connect. Voiced by George Clooney, Bill Murray and others, I really wasn't sure if I was going to like it. But it won me over, and I heartily recommend it.
Incredible deadpan delivery. Every sentence in this movie is read in the flattest monotone possible. And it really works. Animation is very old-school, and it works so much better than CGI.
May be based on a kid's book, but makes it into a intellectual and philosophical treatise on middle-age.

Re: Drabble Reviews Blog
Good question. Hard to answer. With a style this unique, you're not relying on many of the tropes that make movies, movies. Therefore it's easier to miss with occasional things. That disquiet may make the score go down or up, depending on who you are.normsherman wrote:I've been wanting to see this and your review really makes it appeal to me. why the decided deduction of 11 points?
