Merged: The Movies Thread

The wife and I are going out tomorrow night to see the last exorcism!!!! I cant wait!!!!

Watched Kick Ass and went in with low expectations. I expected a half rate comedy and got a raunchy action flick. I was pleasantly suprised.

My wife hated Kick-Ass, I thought it was cool. Wasn't the greatest thing I've ever seen but that little girl kept me interested.

Saw The Expendables. I was so pumped after the movie I punched a hole through a fire hydrant.

Did anyone see The Last Exorcism? I'm thinking about seeing it.. Eli Roth does do pretty good movies... But it's PG-13.. Total turn off...

I have heard mixed reviews about it.

Funny you should say PG-13 makes it bad, I think it is the opposite in horror films simply because the film makers actually have to come up with a plot where most R rated horror is just gore porn.

I agree with the PG-13 thing. Take Max Payne for example, I had high hopes for it and it totally blew.

I saw The Other Guys last night and I was pretty damn surprised. I didn't think I was going to like it that much but I found it pretty damn funny. It was so over the top that it just had me cracking up throughout. Maybe not worth the price of a ticket, but definitely worth seeing it once it comes out on DVD.

Totally agreed, my horror-fan buddy. If you can pull off a psychologically terrifying movie without the torture-porn, more power to ya.

OTOH, I kinda want to peep the rated R Piranha 3D... at first I thought it just looked cheesy, but when I found out it was directed by the French guy who helmed High Tension. This dude knows horror.

I'm a gorehound. Anything that's just ridiculously graphic albeit still with a storyline, I'm there... Just not alone.

As for PG-13 psychological thrillers, I did like The Haunting in Connecticut from a few years back. Thought that was surprisingly good.
