'Rediculous' Customer & Critic Reviews

[knives]

Allan Brooks is my favorite Einstein kid.

Not exactly a review but this guy isn't impressed with the recent UK steelbook announcements:

Why are we getting all these old films that hardly anyone has heard of being released in steelbooks, it sucks!

Cant we even get proper oldies like the godfather, sat night fever, gone with wind etc, films that are acutal classics, like the scareface steelbook!

[oh yeah]

nit-picking Paris, Texas...

Little things about the movie annoy me as well. For example, how does Kinski get into the hotel room. A Texas hotel room door closes and locks automatically. Stanton isn't there, he's in the parking lot below. Hunter doesn't answer the door. For Kinski to enter, Stanton could only have left the door ajar, with an object like a shoe. With Stanton in the parking lot, this leaves the room ripe for robbery or child kidnapping. The scene is cinematic but unlikely.

Amazon UK customer makes a statement about new Rolling Thunder bd/dvd:"clearly it's been transferred straight from video to DVD/Bluray and in my opinion it really should have undergone some "digital cleaning". I wonder if he even bothered to watch past the opening credits sequence(which is in fact,for some reason, in Vhs quality.After that things improve considerably.)before rushing to computer to type this drivel.To my eyes the transfer looked very good(without digital manipulation)especially for a modestly budgeted seventies film.

Oh I know.

Can we please, please not have a discussion about that

[Zot!]

This review is from Amazon: 3 Days of the Condor (Blu-ray)

it was a terribly poor reproduction, especially in the beginning. we stopped straining in the middle. very dissatisfied.

I know ESL stuff is considered a cheap shot, but I can't stop smiling.

From the IMDb user reviews of The Wages of Fear:

Two trucks full of explosives have to be transported. Four fierce men try do the job for the money.

This film is highly overrated. None of the actor stick to its character . If you wanna watch this film and you haven't seen it please don't read any further. Here's what I have to say. M. Jo gives away the pistol to his opponent in a brawl and looks heroic but gets scared on his way to deliver the stuff. Why is the brawl scene required? It is suggested that he kills another man so that he can go for the job (he was not selected) but that is not confirmed until the end. You sit for 2.5 hrs to see a truck finally reaching its destination. There are no twists and turns in the film. The only twists director could imagine were a wooden bridge and a big rock. How imaginative. There is a build up of an hour before the film really starts, I thought that one hour was about characterization but thats not true either. Its a waste of two hrs .

Acting wise its OK. I have a problem with the depth of characters so no point in discussing that. I am giving 4 points for oil leak scene and actors who did that scene. A very boring and senseless film. 4/10.

Four fierce men try do the job for the money.

So hard for it, honey

[Matt]

Not precisely a review, but so rediculous. To be fair, I guess one does have a spy in it.

[Brian C]

This makes me wonder if there aren't soon to be a whole bunch of very disappointed Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy customers out there.

My all-time favourite Amazon recommendation:



I actually forwarded that one to Christopher Nupen, director of the Ashkenazy documentary, and he replied saying that he liked to think that Justin Bieber fans were also being pointed in his direction.

[Matt]

That's beautiful.

[gcgiles1dollarbin]

That's fantastic! I think I just tore my thoracic diaphragm. Last night, Stephen Colbert, refuting Ann Patchett's assertion that we need smart bookstore employees to recommend other books, said, "Amazon already has that: 'People who bought this book also bought a socket wrench set.'"

The creators of Literally Unbelievable graciously took it upon themselves to do our job for us.

Thank you so much for those two links. Fantastic.

***** out of five. ;-p

1.0 out of 5 stars
Wait for the fantastic Special Edition due in June!, February 27, 2012

This review is from: Hugo (Three-disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

Spread over three Blu-ray discs, the Special Edition performs real movie magic by showing where Scorcese stole the idea for every scene in Hugo! Every time Richard Griffiths gets bitten on the shin by a yappy little dog, the Special Edition replays the original Richard Griffiths bitten on the shin by a yappy little dog scene from Harry Potter. One entire Blu-ray disc contains the stolen bits from most of Giuseppe Tornatore's work. After all, if you're going to pretend to love the cinema, why not grab your love from the best? There's even a special feature on "How we make little kid's eyes look like saucers with bits we stole from The Lord of The Rings movies."

If you prefer hard-snorting Hollywood gossip over cinema/enema, there's a roaring interview with Emil Lager, the guitarist, about how "Scores" promised him all the nose candy he could snort in his two day shoot plus he got to keep the antique guitar he played in the film. "He really jobbed me on the guitar," laughs Emil. "Turned out to just be an old beat-up Harmony and they CGI'd in the nice one. But that's OK. I left it there after taking a dump in it and putting a little note on the fretboard, `Please send to Robbie.'"

Also not a review but so rediculous: IMDb lists.

Yep, those 501 people are all filmmakers
Piranha and Piranha II: a list of two movies
really old stuff! (two films, both with Rick Moranis and people changing size)
A list of all ten movies I've seen in my life

There are over a quarter of a million of these things.

[Murdoch]

People get bored, I saw one that was just a list of movies a guy searched for in the past couple of days.

[stroszeck]

Thought this was sort of funny. It's a Yelp review of the ArcLight Cinema in Hollywood:

The Arclight is quite the theater isn't it? Reserved seating, modern set up, huge theaters with huge screens, along with huge prices on pretty much everything. Granted, it's rad not to have to worry about getting a seat and all that, but the price of a ticket here is pretty high. And then you gotta pay for parking as well on the way out, even with a validation. I will give them this though, they do play some good movies that you wouldn't find at a lot of other theaters and do take the time to do some events with Q&A which is always fun. I saw Hesher here with the Q&A and it was pretty rad, except for the part where the girl stood up and told the director how she really related to the movie because she too had lost a loved one. Then she asked her sister to stand up and they both almost started crying. I guess this would be the point when a Q&A goes bad, yeap, that was it. Other than that though it was super awesome. I would def attend another Q&A because the people asking the questions were really interesting and I found what they had to say really interesting, and in no way did I start to laugh at any of the questions or make calls on those people, not at one point. The crying girls didn't make me feel awkward at all either.

So yeah the archlight is awesome, but way overpriced.

So, two stupid humans and one stupid muppet doing stupid things.
This movie is boring even for my 8 years-old nephew.
I mean, who's the target of this movie? Old people who saw the original Muppet's Show 30 years ago or young people who prefer non-puppetish movies?
I liked the Muppet's Show when I was a kid.. but.. Disney turned the Muppets franchise into a musical-stupidity-musical-stupidity endless cycle.

[Brian C]

Not sure what's so rediculous about that one. I found myself wondering who the movie's target audience is supposed to be as well - it's an unabashed nostalgia trip marketed as the next big family movie franchise. It's surprisingly good-natured for what it is, but still.

And, at least at the show I saw it at (opening weekend, midday Saturday), most of the kids in attendance did seem to be bored. It might have helped if the movie was actually about the Muppets instead of the human characters.

[domino harvey]

Haven't seen the film but I appreciated gems like "non-puppetish movies" (quite a large genre!) and "musical-stupidity-musical-stupidity"

[Brian C]

Yeah, I liked "non-puppetish" too, but it's actually an insightful point in its way, because the movie really can't decide whether it wants to be a Muppet movie for the Gen X set or a (non-puppetish) Jason Segal family comedy. So it splits the difference.

You should see it though - if nothing else, it's got Amy Adams having a "me party".
