What's worth seeing at the movies lately?

[LeftyMom]

I have two free passes, but since I skip commercials I have no idea what's playing right now that looks any good. My passes appear to be good for any of the local chains, but not for IMAX.

1. save them for Hellboy 2 The Golden Army, it comes out on July 11th.

[jobycom]

8. Why? Did you miss The Love Guru?

:rofl: No, okay, you're right, it doesn't look THAT bad!

[AlCzervik]

9. my local paper paper had a pretty funny review of that movie, it pretty much

told Mike Myers to just stop.

[jobycom]

11. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 15% right now. I didn't know a movie could rank that low.

Some of their quotes are hilarious, too. "With this sort of junk, Myers obviously is all out of love, and one day he'll be so lost without us." "An oh-my-God-level disaster that’ll make you wonder if Hollywood actually hates us." "At 88 minutes, The Love Guru would have benefited from a trim of roughly 80 minutes."

One of the more positive reviews: Mike Myers' new comedy, The Love Guru, is a disappointment, but it's not a disaster, and that's at least something.

32. The lowest rating I ever saw on Rotten Tomatoes

was for "One Missed Call," which actually managed to garner a 0% rating!

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/one_missed_call/

Partly intrigued by the idea of seeing a movie ranked sooo low, and feeling like seeing a horror movie anyway, I actually went to see it. It wasn't nearly as horrible as I would have thought a 0% rating would imply; I think the 0 was more the result of no critic willing to say it was more good than bad than that it was really *that* horribly awful. I'd probably give it a 2 on a 5-star scale, but I'm not exactly the pickiest moviegoer! haha

14. I think "HellBoy" will be the surprise hit of the summer.

It's the only "must see on the big screen" on my list.

[AlCzervik]

16. i hope so, my summer movie list is pretty short. I'm waiting for the reviews on

"Wanted", i'm hoping it will be good.

[PassingFair]

19. Have you seen this "viral video" for Tropic Thunder?

Funnier than any movie I've seen this year,
and it's only 5 minutes long....(if that).

[AlCzervik]

20. no, i'll look it up though.

[PassingFair]

21. Oh! Sorry, forgot the LINK!

[AlCzervik]

22. thanks, i'm watching a really long preview for it right now.

[Pale Blue Dot]

2. I liked "Iron Man", and disliked "Indiana Jones."

But I would save your pass for "Wall-E", opening on Friday.

[LeftyMom]

3. That might be a good idea, the kid would like it.

I DL'd Indy, and I want that two hours of my life back.

[Rhiannon12866]

36. That's the one that I want to see!

Glad to hear somebody else likes robots...:D

[ghostsofgiants]

4. I really dug The Strangers.

[last_texas_dem]

33. I liked that one, too

Slow-building and creepy, and more suspenseful than it was bloody. I really liked the atmosphere of it, too, and the fact that the old house looks way too much like one of my relative's houses in West Texas was an added bonus!

[Carnea]

5. If you can wait a few weeks Batman and Hellboy.

If your not bring the kid "Wanted" coming out next week also looks good.

[Fire Walk With Me]

6. Wait a week for WALL-E.

[lost-in-nj]

7. This actually looks

pretty cool!!!

saw the preview in the theatre...


lost

:hi:

[jobycom]

10. Well, I've seen Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda, and Narnia recently.

All surprisingly good, but Kung Fu Panda, which my nine year old forced me to see, was hillarious.

That's the extent of my life. If my kids can't see it, I'm not likely to see it. :)

[AlCzervik]

13. i'm taking my nieces to see Kungfu Panda next Friday, they're coming out for a visit and my daughter

who so owes me a movie after the "Zohan" doesn't want to see it so i told her she could stay home with Aunty Robin and me and the girls would go see it anyhow.

[flvegan]

12. The hawt chicks selling popcorn and candy in the lobby.

:P

[Carnea]

15. At my theater it's all eighty year old women... and there constantly slipping on the butter grease

breaking their hips... and then I have to wait 20 minutes to get my popcorn while the paramedics tend to them and miss the fucking previews.



:silly:

[LeftyMom]

17. I wasn't even into pimply high schoolers when I was in high school.

:eyes:

[terrya]

18. I liked "Sex and the City"

Very much. If you're into that.

[applegrove]

34. I liked it too.

[leftofthedial]

23. Kung Fu Panda was pretty funny.

[Flaxbee]

24. Depends on what you like -- I've seen nothing advertised

recently that I'd want to sit through, but sometimes investigating foreign movies can be interesting, if your passes cover that.

Check out www.rottentomatoes.com for recent releases - might find something there that interests you.

[FloridaJudy]

25. I really want to see "Mongol"

But then, I'm a sucker for Asian epics.

[MonkeyFunk]

28. So do I

it looks really good. My kinda flick.

[FloridaJudy]

30. Zhang Yimou fan?

Me too!

[mwooldri]

26. I've seen Kung Fu Panda and Get Smart.

Both were quite good but Kung Fu Panda was the better of the two movies.

Mark.

[MonkeyFunk]

27. very little, apparently

Iron Man was pretty decent, though.

[Old Hickory Fan]

29. Gonzo --- Life and Times of Hunter Thompson

supposed to be coming in limited release July 2 (I think).

[CreekDog]

31. heard good things about Ironman and the new Indiana Jones movie is fun

that's all I got for you now. Baby Momma --eh. :shrug:

[Rhiannon12866]

35. Check out IMDb, since they'll tell you what's playing now in your area...

I kind of want to see the one about the robots, but it's not playing yet. The panda movie looks good, too, but you probably have more sophisticated tastes than I do...:D

[Fox Mulder]

37. Save it for The X-Files movie that comes out in July.

:)
