It really is a shitty weekend. I think it's a weekend I can catch up on older releases, (New York, New York ; Casablance ; Citizen Kane ; etc.)

[A.J. Hakari]

Nothing new I haven't seen, so that saves me a trip to the store. Peter Bogdanovich's TARGETS is being released on DVD Tuesday, though, and I have that at the top of my rental queue.

Actually, he posted this one five minutes before Mike posted the other one. :)

Still, the other is getting more hits so it'll probably stay open...

[flowrchild]

I will be renting Will & Grace- Season 1. I love this show, it cracks me up, and I didn't start watching it until syndication.

[Sad man]

Sorry movies but Mike's thread has more posts, so I guess this one will be closed...

Anyway, this week sucks...I'm only interested in WILL & GRACE.

[sharkstank]

renting head of state, lizzie mcguire

maybe buying the wwe brock lesnar dvd(if i could find a extras list)

i saw 1,000 corpses,hunted, and cradle 2 the grave in theatres.

Cradle 2 the Grave 3/10 Very Bad, Very Stupid, Bad Action
I know on action films like this the plot,dialogue,and acting don't need to make sense or be great or thought provoking,but I just felt insulted by this talky,unexciting action film. Tony Fait (DMX) is a jewel thief with a heart of gold. When Fait and his crew (Anthony Anderson,Gabrielle Union,Drag-On) rob a diamond exchange, they take 50 black diamonds. The diamonds cause them to become involved in a ploy to sell the diamonds, which are capable of world destruction. They are tracked down by Taiwanese agent Su (Jet Li) who is trying to retrieve the diamonds and keep them from nemesis and old friend Ling and his group of thugs (including Kelly Hu) who want to sell the diamonds to the highest evil bidder. What follows is a convoluted,horrible, and utter boring attempt to thrill an audience. The action scenes are bland and don't deliver, the story is completely non sensical, and there are many instances where you will scratch your head and ask,”what the hell”?For instance,Fait taking four steps up a wall and flipping over a rottweiler, Fait riding an ATV from rooftop to rooftop,a cage trampoline,lasers stripping a diamond of protons to cause the levels of destruction,a lavish prison cell,a hilariously bad bidding sequence,a McGyver like 8 year old girl,and the requisite 50 guys stand around Jet Li and attack one by one to promptly be dealt with. Also,the dialogue is exceptionally bad and laughable. Every time something or somebody needs to be found,a character spouts who or where,then when asked why,says “i know”.The end is a mess as it tries to juggle several different situations and has several cuts and trickery. The only bright spots were Anderson and Tom Arnold as the comic reliefs,the tank shooting sequence,Union's strip scene,and the soundtrack. Overall a talky,ridiculous,and long waste of time which fails to deliver the action as promised on this sort of premise.

The Hunted 6/10 Good Chase Movie, No Substance
An exceptional cat and mouse movie that is interesting,has endearing,albeit familiar,performances and no story or depth. LT Bonham (Jones)has been training soldiers to survive and kill his entire career. When four hunters are found mutilated in the wilderness,and the main suspect Aaron Hallum (Del Toro)is linked to Bonham,he is summoned to catch him. What follows is a lot of grass sniffing,quick getaways,and retelling of just about every other chase movie (it even ends up near a waterfall).Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro are good in there teacher and student gone mad roles and offer up entertaining and realistic battle scenes. The movie goes in a cycle of Del Toro gets caught or found,but he manages to escape and out run the FBI and Jones. This is a two character piece,and it works well like that. Connie Nielsen is here,but she is not given nearly enough to do (although she looked damn cute).We see hints of each characters dimensions,but they are not explored any further than vague one liners. Del Toro has no background other than being a killing machine (seems to have family issues,loneliness,resentful,and what was up with the lady and her daughter?) and Jones is also a shallow character that could have been more interesting (also seemed lonely,bitter,desensitized).The knife fights and chases work and that's where the movie is supposed to succeed. Just don't look for any depth or amazing character studies in this quasi action hide and seek.

House of 1,000 Corpses 3/10 Ninety Minute Mess, Becomes Tediously Stupid
After three years, several distribution changes, and many go rounds through the MPAA, Rob Zombie's homage to horror movies has finally been released. What results is a mess of a movie, which has zero character development, no flow to the story, and absolutely no scares. The story is quite simple: four friends are traveling to one of their parent's homes, stopping along the way to many odd roadside attractions. Eventually they encounter Captain Spaulding's House of Monsters and Madmen (which also has gasoline and fried chicken). There they learn about the local legend of Doctor Satan. After leaving, they encounter a hitchhiker (Sheri Moon) who leads them to her home after some car trouble. The house turns out to be home to a family of serial killers and the house itself is a labyrinth of monsters and tortured souls. This is where the gore,scares, and mayhem should begin. I sat there for 90 minutes waiting for that, but it never came. This could have been made by a bunch of teenagers who know how to do a few cool tricks with a camera. There is no hero here, just about every scene makes absolutely no sense, and after a certain point the movie becomes tedious to sit through. The only redeeming qualities about the movie were Sheri Moon and Sid Haim's eccentric Captain Spaulding. They are both a hoot, but are only used sparingly. I know this was probably butchered by the MPAA, so maybe I'll give it another chance on DVD. But as it stands, Zombie's love letter to old school horror films is not in the upper echelon of the genre.

Dang it, we were posting at the same time. I feel bad that this had to happen. I'm sorry Movies35 :(. I'm sorry mine got more hits and this one might get closed :(. All of that hard work will go down the drain now. DAMN! This sucks... There's really not much that can be done about it, people post things at the same time all of the time, but I still feel bad. Mine should have gotten closed :(, damn me...

[Annie Hall]

Definitely going to check out the SNL stuff...I love those Best Of... shows.

Maybe Will & Grace...probably not...

Don't feel bad Mike! We were making them at the same time, and it happens all the time like you said. It's alright if mine gets closed. It only took my about 10-15 minutes to do it, so it's not a biggie. :)

[movies35]

Since the other thread got closed...

BUMP!

[Hannibal21]

I might check out The Hunted or Cradle 2 the Grave just to see how bad (or how good :confused: ) they really are....the rest I'm boycotting.

[Haddonfield]

"House of a Thousand Corpses" will be a new staple in my house.

[Clarkey07]

I'll probably check out Cradle 2 the Grave, Head of State, and House of 1000 Corprses. I didn't really like The Hunted (5/10) enough to watch it again.

[dxhc99]

Rent: House of 1000 Corpses - Hope it won't suck
The Hunted - Looks entertaining

Buy: Futurama Vol. 2 - Funnier than the simpsons, it kicks ass. Fox sux for cancelling it.

Avoid: Head of State - Don't waste your time on this garbage.
