Is it cool to post here???

Ok so youre making yourself a movie reviewer or at the very least a movie recommender...why pin this?

Ok so have you see any other Wes Anderson movies???I have and I actually bought 1 of them.The trailors never reflect how the movie really is.The jokes are so spread out you cant call his movies comedies.
They suck so badly.He thinks he makes funny movies and I had hoped the DVD I bought would be funny but I never once laughed out loud during it.The man makes horrible movies and gets away with it because it is "smart" comedy.Yeah right!They suck.

Meet the Fockers looks funny and I did like the first.
Fat Albert....um no.Seriously  

Darkness looks like it will be close to 13 Ghosts or some other unscarey movie.There are so many lame as attempts to make a horror film and none ever come close to scaring me.The last good horror movie had a bit of action but still was horror.It was Dawn of the Dead.Incredible movie.Also check out the trailor for Constantine.This movie look so awesome.I really cant wait for it to come out.

Woodsman...dont know nothing about it.
Phantom of the opera is not for me.

DVDs-
Napoleon Dynamite-I said it before I thought it looked very retarded.I could possibly rent it.

King Arthur-OMG SOOOOOO HORRIBLE.What a piece of shit movie.

De-Lovely-  

"The Simpsons": 5th Season-Simpsons sucked for the first 2 or 3 seasons.You cant argue with that.At this point the show was actually funny so Ill say this is a good pick.

Anacondas-If its was good as the first I probably wont watch this one either  :lol:

Yes it is cool to post here.

I have seen all of Wes Anderson movies. I think he takes a different aproach to making  films and he does a good job in doing so. I actually had a pass for this movie but i didn't get it in the mail till the day after the screening. I enjoy his movies i have The Royal Tenenbaums on dvd. It was worth buying.

I agree.

I agree. Constantine should be great.

ND - is by far the funniest movie I've seen this year, although shawn of the dead was funny too, but it is not really a comedy.

shawn of the dead - great movie. go buy it.

King Arthur - bah so disapointed.

The rest of the dvds are not worth me typing out how bad they are.

I bought TRT too.I never saw it in the theaters but the trailors and tv ads made me buy it.
I watched it and thought to myself wtf???I am not lying to you,I wanted to like this movie.I bought it didnt I?I dont like when I waste my money on crap and after watching it thats kinda how I felt.
It may be a good movie but its not funny and I know thats what he intended it to be.
The fake interview show was very strange and thats really how the movie was.I didnt laugh at that either.It was so...weird.

Looking at the previews for the life aquatic makes me want to see it but I know I will be as let down as I was with TRT and Rushmore.

The reason TRT is the cheapest criterion dvd ever is because no one wants to see it.Even after being out for years the dvd is still cheap as hell and thats now how it is for any other criterion collection release.

If you know about any other good movies coming out  please continue to post them.
