Jamie_B Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 [quote name='Go Skins' timestamp='1339449428' post='1134914'] I didn't see this, but from what I hear, it is confusing. Is that accurate? Sandler wanted to release something raunchy and he got it with this movie. The 18-24 year old men will love it for that reason alone. I felt Rock of Ages told a good story, but I haven't seen the play so I can't compare the two. [/quote] I wasnt confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartledoo Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Saw a commercial for a movie coming out named "Ted"...the sound was down on the tv (because I was waiting in line at Penn Station) but it looked hilarious.

Enon Bengal Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 [quote name='gatorclaws' timestamp='1339437636' post='1134876'] That's My Boy certainly is better than anything Sandler has released in years, but that's not saying a whole lot. I found many parts funny, but wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone. Everyone I went with was at least satisfied with it. Good spots with Rex Ryan. Haven't seen Rock of Ages, but it looks decent but probably not my cup of tea. Is the entire thing pretty much a musical or are there just big song/dance numbers [/quote] Did you see Grown Ups? That was non-stop laughter from beginning to end. Just Go With It was funny but not quite in the same league. Jack and Jill was better than JGWI but not as funny as GU, at least that's how our household felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 IMO The Dark Knight was aptly characterized as a mob movie that happens to have a masked hero. Similarly, I think The Dark Knight Rises is aptly being characterized as a war movie that happens to have a masked hero.

Go Skins Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I saw "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" last night....audience laughed at things that I don't think were meant to be laughed at and then clapped at the end. Some pretty good action scenes, but the 3-D is a conversion job and doesn't add much to the overall movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I took the glasses off a few times and there were 2-D portions. Maybe it was for a few seconds, I didn't want to want to attempt to watch all of it without glasses because I could tell in the first few minutes it would take too much out of the movie. Besides, if I wanted to pay 2-D price, I would have. I knew it wasn't filmed in IMAX, so I wasn't paying that. It was $10 yesterday at Potomac Mills for the 10:05 AM showing.
