This year’s Hangover?
Now here’s a movie that doesn’t look like too much, but might just be a hidden gem. Hot Tub Time Machine comes off as just another The Hangover-type comedy, but who knows? This one might just raise the bar, but I doubt it.
The cast is good quality, but nothing too special. The story though, well it’s sort-of unique. I mean who else thought of having these friends get drunk in a hot tub and wake up in 1986? While the plot doesn’t look like it will go very deep, the basic idea of these adults that have become bored with their lives can be draw in crowds of audiences who feel the same way. Who wouldn’t love a little time travel adventure with their best friends?
Looks like a movie with not enough witty comedy and far too many one liners.
It’s time to re-imagine our favorite serial killer that haunts the dreams of naughty teenagers, scaring little girls with those four blades embedded in his hands.
Yes of course, the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street is going to be released in theaters April 30th. Surprisingly, this movie looks like it’s actually going to be badass. This is no Halloween or Friday the 13th remake. This remake looks not only like it’s going to stay pretty true to the original, but the special effects are going to be wild. Producer Michael Bay definitely has done a good job in the past, and this time I hope he goes all out with A Nightmare on Elm Street. He’s been the producer of some pretty damn good horror remakes: 2003’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and 2005’s The Amityville Horror.

Watch those trailers. I don’t know how strong this whole plot is going to be, and I would love to make fun of these Twilight-lookin’ kids, but this shit looks beautifully done. Just look at that chick fall out of that black cloud above her bed… I’m going, don’t let me fall asleep.
These Two…
Somehow in the back of my mind, I always knew these two would be making this exact movie.
Well not exactly, but you know…
What more is there to say? Just look at that movie poster. It’s Tina Fey and Steve Carell. As a couple in a comedy/adventure/romance..
This was bound to happen, these two have a similar sense of humor. How have they not done a movie like this yet?
I actually have faith in this one. I saw the previews and knew right away this was a match made in heaven.
They’ve got a movie here that is probably going to sell big, since its something a huge amount of people can relate to. This couple is living in suburban New Jersey in a house with two kids.
Now, they don’t want their marriage to get all stale and boring so they have a date night every week.
Too bad its not much good at rekindling the romance when its the same old dinner table talk at the same local tavern. They’re exhausted from their job and kids and these little dates don’t end with much romance at all.
So they really come to the realization when their friends (who are in the same situation) end up splitting up. So they both fear where they’re going: the same track to a state of bland indifference and eventual separation.
Ok now all they need is a little adventure. Let’s spice up this marriage and this movie.
So he takes her to Manhatten to the city’s hottest new restaurant. Too bad they don’t have reservation. Do you really think that will stop Steve Carell?
Hell no. They’re gonna end up slipping into the seats that some other couple didn’t show up for and faking who they are.
Woah, too bad this other couple they are faking to be are actually being hunted down by a pair of corrupt cops for having stolen property from some very dangerous people.
“Forced on the run before they’ve even finished their risotto, Phil and Claire soon realize that their play-date-for-parents has gone awry, as they embark on a wild and dangerous series of crazy adventures to save their lives — and their marriage.”
Alright maybe I would have chose a different plot for these two, but hey this should be funny. I mean of course the writers are going to get a little ridiculous with these shenanigans they go through during this night…
Well let’s see what happens, I’m sure the ending will be all warm-hearted and their marriage will be all peachy. I’m sure getting chased by some people on that night is going to heal whatever problems they may face in their marriage down the road. Hah…
Kevin Smith + Bruce Willis
Okay honestly I had no intention on seeing Cop Out. Tracy Morgan, Bruce Willis, stupid jokes, no thanks…
But Kevin Smith, you’re directing this? Oh wait okay, this is the first movie he’s directed that he hasn’t written. Okay, but I don’t know… What level are you stooping down to Kevin? I know you’re a lot more intelligent than just another comedy cop movie with Bruce Willis running around with a funny black guy. I hope you put a creative touch to this because the plot looks, well… lets just say a veteran NYPD cop gets his rare baseball card stolen by a memorabilia-obsessed gangster.
WOW
OK…
I wasn’t going to see this in the first place but maybe I’ll give a chance when it hits DVD. I’m a big fan of most of your movies Kevin, but I don’t know if I have much faith in just another Bad Boys, Rush Hour, dumb cop duo movie…
Crazies?
Yet another horror remake. It seems like nobody can come up with any original ideas nowadays. Why has culture come to a standstill with this endless reproduction of movies thought of decades ago? Over and over we are taken on these thrill rides with no solid story. I’ve seen too many of these bad horror movies from decades ago being brought back to life and ruined by trying to redo it. Leave them alone. They’re only good because they’re cheap and bad. You’re only going to make it worse by throwing a huge budget at it and trying to resell it. Any movie is possible to remake! But come on, you’re getting really lazy when you do all of them…

February 26th, 2010: Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh with insanity. Now complete anarchy reigns as one by one the townsfolk succumb to an unknown toxin and turn sadistically violent. Is The Crazies going to be crazy enough? I’ll make that decision, I’m just not sure if I want to pay money for it.
We’ll see how it does. So far opening weekend has seen a gross of $16.1 million for The Crazies. The other horror remake- Wolfman is still ahead at $57.4 million.
Scorsese is a genius
Shutter Island is going to be awesome. It’s hard for Scorsese to top his previous masterpieces, but this will definitely blow away any other movies in the box offices now. We have been bombarded with crappy movies for the past months..
Dear John, I hate you.
From Paris with Love, Travolta bald? no love.
Are The Book of Eli and Legion even different movies?
Thank you Scorsese for finally making yet another film worth watching. In a world where ideas have come down to The Rock picking magical characters from a hat, Shutter Island looks like something to keep me sane.
They’re looking for a murderess that’s hiding out on an island for the criminally insane in 1954. Cool. Let’s do it. Good luck Leo.
Sounds like a great Valentine’s Day movie for sure.
Scorsese, thank you for continuing to create remarkable films even though you are surrounded by a sea of lazy movies. Every movie you’ve made is original in it’s own way, unlike any you have done before. If The Departed were made by anyone else it would just be another Four Brothers.
Prove to us that you’ve still got the greatness. Enlighten me with some underlying message about our current social state. What’s the theme gonna be this time?
V-Day
How pissed would you be if you were an actor and didn’t get picked for this movie? Every actor who’s ever made a million dollars is in this one. I mean come on! Congratulations Hollywood, you’ve done it again. Easy money: you’ve made a movie called Valentine’s Day (real creative), chosen every actor imaginable to appeal to everyone you can, now hilarity will ensure as some love triangle unfolds. I don’t even need to watch a trailer to already know what this movie is about.
“A diverse group of Los Angelenos navigate their way through romance and heartbreak over the course of one Valentine’s Day.”
Yep, let’s take the style of Crash and turn it into a chaotic day of romance. Jackpot.
All we need are actors…
Jessica Alba
Kathy Bates
Jessica Biel
Bradley Cooper
Eric Dane
Patrick Dempsey
Hector Elizondo
Jamie Foxx
Jennifer Garner
Topher Grace
Anne Hathaway
Ashton Kutcher
Queen Latifah
Taylor Lautner
George Lopez
Shirley MacLaine
Emma Roberts
Julia Roberts
Taylor Swift
Oh shit, while were at it have Taylor Swift sing for the soundtrack. And now you have the single most regrettable purchase for thousands of boyfriends who are about to drop $30+ on the most unbearable 2 hours of their lives.
