Searz's review thread

[quote=Toshabi][quote=OTGBionicArm]Alright, what do you think of The Big Lebowskie, Searz? Cult classic that everyone loves these days, but it got terrible reviews when it premiered. The fact that it spawned a religion of sorts is kinda cool.[/quote] Searz was gonna write something bad about it, but is unable to now since he died. Cause of death: He fucked with the Jesus.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]^Oh, don't worry, I'm still able to :D [quote=OTGBionicArm]Alright, what do you think of The Big Lebowskie, Searz?

Unique and kind of interesting, but it just doesn't do much. The characters can't carry a lacking story on their backs alone. [quote=The_Nameless_Bard]You do realize that Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness were mostly intended to be comedy, right?[/quote] I've seen Army of Darkness. It was just bad, plain and simple. Campy, cheesy and stupid, and that's not always a winning combination. [quote=Re4XN]If I had to name a decent enough horror movie I'd go for Saw (the first one, the sequels kinda lost the original touch). With that low of a budget, making a film like that was amazing. Anyway, what do you think about Requiem For A Dream? I watched the movie yesterday and I am certainly not going to watch it again... not because it was bad, but because it was kind of intense...[/quote] Oh yeah, I have vague memories of Saw being pretty good. Been years tho. I have not seen Requiem For A Dream. I will be watching it soon though.[/quote]

[quote=HiFromBuddha]Saw 1 was pretty good imo because it didn't sell itself out to only being gore focused like all the sequels. Saw 1 was trying to be reserved, whereas most of its sequels were just going straight for the gore to stay relevant and have people attracted to the series.[/quote]

I agree it was bad, but that was sort of the point.[/quote]

Don't get me wrong, I still loved them,but the thing that kept me going was the story, it really gives you something to think about...[/quote]

[quote=IPodPulse]What are your thoughts on Edge of Tomorrow (live, die, repeat)[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]I don't know the movie but it sounds rather edgy :^) More on topic, can I ask the hard-hitting questions? What's the best movie you've ever watched? What's the movie of this year anyone should at least know about?[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=IPodPulse]What are your thoughts on Edge of Tomorrow (live, die, repeat)[/quote] I've posted about that in the Manga thread. A comparison of the manga called All You Need is Kill, which was based on the same novel(by the same name) as Edge of Tomorrow. All You Need is Kill is really mediocre. Lots of issues with the storyline. The Edge of Tomorrow luckily only adapts the concept though, the story itself is entirely different. And it delivers on every failing part of the original, fantastic movie. I'll do a proper review of it, just gimme some time to pair it up with a few Tom Cruise movies. [quote=Latest Legend]More on topic, can I ask the hard-hitting questions? What's the best movie you've ever watched? What's the movie of this year anyone should at least know about?[/quote] Ooooh, hard to say. Edge of Tomorrow is actually a contender for that title, but I think the title goes to Nightcrawler. AMAZING movie. It just blew me away. Best movie of the year will be the upcoming review after the Cruise special :) I'm gonna watch A.I. so that I have a relevant movie to pair the review with. Which might hint as to which movie it is ;)[/quote]
