Sun, 13 Jul 2008 @ 22:26 || Movies || MoviesWe watch a ton of movies. So it's probably about time I started doing very bad reviews. For now we'll rate via the treasure measure, as it's kinda pirate related, and who doesn't like pirates? I'm not sure if 5 or 10 treasures is the top now.. lets say 5 and I'll adjust it depending on how good Batman is in a few weeks.Today, Shane and I watched 3 movies, 1 in the theaters and 2 on DVD. We caught the 11:15 showing of Hancock. A superhero movie with the fresh prince.

Shane:
While I enjoyed it and didn't see the twist coming at all. Shane said it was enjoyable but forgettable. The first of the two movies we watched on DVD was the Covenant. This was supposta be a witch movie set in Ipswitch, where one of my grandfathers grew up, which is close to Salem and Gloucester, MA, both places I've lived.
CovenantShawn:
Shane:
This movie sucked. The acting was bad, I couldn't tell the characters apart. the story didn't exist and it's unclear if it there was a director. If you are going to have a warlock fight sceene, give the warlocks better powers than throwing bubbles at each other. It was kinda neat to see a few shots of places I recognized, but otherwise this was hard to sit thru. The second movie was Hollywood Knights, an teenage 80's flick that was recommended via the Netfix suggestion mechanism, which I am no longer listening to.
Hollywood KnightsShawn:
Shane:
I'm giving it two treasures, for the cars and the music. Shane hated it and I'm not sure he'd even give it one treasure. If I need a fix for a 80's teen movie, I'm going to stick with Porky's. On Saturday we finished up the last DVD of 24 season 5. 24 season 5Shawn:
Shane:
While not the best season we've seen so far, we both enjoyed it. I specially liked hating the president... worst president ever! Shane also pointed out that Jack always says "Do what you have to" to whoever is about to get in trouble for helping Jack out. Might be the start of a drinking game in that. We also watched Knocked up. A comedy with some guy that looked familiar and a hot blond. While a lot of it took place at the E! studios, Joel McHale never made an appearance. Knocked upShawn:
Shane:
If Joel or better yet Tommy or Mankini were in this, it would have gotten 5 treasures or maybe even more! Over all a good funny movie. link to story || 3 comments || Add a comment |
