signs was alright. not as good as unbreakable or sixth sense, but i'd say it was his last film that was watchable.

until now of course. because airbender will be awesome. 0_0

[GeminiShamrock]

I admit that I want to see "the Last Airbender" as well, but because of Shyamalan's past failures, I'm going into it with some reservations.

[TheMrDeadHead]

oh yea.

that's basically my stance on seeing all movies nowadays. expect the absolute worst, and then you'll be pleasantly surprised. i still very much enjoyed Jennifer's Body, if that's any indicator of how well that strategy works.

though it didn't work for Robin Hood. or Transformers 2. or Wolfman. or a bunch of other ones.

[lobster1999]

i think we will now fight with socks. forbidden socks.

[GeminiShamrock]

I didn't go into "Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time" expecting the worse. I figured I was gonna enjoy it, and I did. In fact, I like it a great deal. I mean it was as good as it could've been considering it was based on a video game, and movies based on video games, with the exception of the Tomb Raider movies, were somewhat deplorable.

But because this one's an M. Night Shyamalan film, I'm gonna go in with some major reservations, and rightly so.

In other news, "Knight and Day" looks like a commercial flop so far.

[TheMrDeadHead]

ugh prince of persia was another flop in my book. as were the tomb raider movies...

i'd say for good video-game based movies Silent HIll and maybe Resident Evils (for campier reasons) are about it.

then there's the so-bad-they're-good ones like Mortal Kombat, Super Mario Bros, and Street Fighter...

the best parts of PoP for me were making fun of it. and heckling people in the audience.

[GeminiShamrock]

Then on that day, we wouldn't have gotten along, especially since it was my birthday, May 28. (That's when the movie was released into theaters. That's also the day I went to see it.) Oh, well. Can't win 'em all.

And I agree with you on Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Super Mario Bros. was just campy, but it did have Dennis Hopper as Koopa, so that one isn't bad either.

[TheMrDeadHead]

haha John Leguizamo said him and Bob Hoskins were wasted throughout the filming of that entire movie, and that it was the biggest regrets of their careers.

i'm assuming Dennis Hopper was on something heavy during the shooting, too.
cause i mean.. it's dennis hopper... and he rules.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Leguizamo was telling the truth about the both of them.

And yeah, Hopper rules, even in death. By the way, he played a genocidal maniac-type gangster(?) in the first season of 24.

The AV Club is the entertainment section of The Onion. Their reviews are usually pretty spot-on. If they claim something is abysmal, it usually has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Self Righteous morons are usually the people who are movie critics and they are part of The Onion, so that doubles up the douche. But it was a stupid "me too" japanese looking show for a kid's network. I honestly can't see how this movie matters to anyone...

Actually, he has two: I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie and Your Movie **alf**ks.

[6_by_9]

Well, there you go.

[The-Big-Steamy-Thing]

Yeah, I went there.

[FieryDoom]

you came here?

[slyfoxx2]

That's a really personal question, don't you think?

[FieryDoom]

it is?

[The-Big-Steamy-Thing]

I take on all comers.

[Shadowstaarr]

I saw Jonah Hex as well, so I sort of feel compelled to see something that compares to it. But I am one of the few people who kind of enjoyed Jonah Hex because I felt it was cheesy enough to pass.

[slyfoxx2]

I'd think so.

I know what you mean. I felt that way out stuff like Cannibal: The Musical and Dragonball Evolution. There not good movies, but there fun in some ways.

The thing about Airbeender is that its completely devoid of any fun. Everything talks in a almost monotone like voice and you have no connection to the characters.

It's awful

[Explosivo_420]

I was gonna quick reply that "I wonder what they think about Cyrus"

then I looked at the article before typing, and saw ads for Cyrus everywhere. I guess they approve.

[6_by_9]

They gave it a C, I think.

[The-Big-Steamy-Thing]

Yeah, just because a movie's advertised on the site (or they interview one of the actors), that doesn't mean they're going to fall all over themselves praising it. They've got more credibility than that.

[TheMrDeadHead]

so i went last night to see the midnight show.
but it wasn't playing at midnight last night.
it was playing at midnight the night before.

i blame twilight.
