apuszczalowski Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) After seeing the previews for the 3 Stooges movie, I think it looks like an embarrassment. Like the Farally bros not only spit, but then turned around and dropped a few deuces on all the real Stooges graves (even Schemp and Joes). I wouldn't expect this movie to be anything better then the Brady Bunch movies that were made.......(Characters from a different time trying to adjust to Todays society with all the "jokes" based around that) Edited April 10, 2012 by apuszczalowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOBILLS78 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Against all odds, I actually liked "American Reunion." Same old stuff, but no matter how stale it is, it still brings a smile to my face. Also appreciated the fact that it came full circle in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Fong Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 If you haven't seen Cabin in the Woods, go see it. One of my favorite horror movies of all time. A very original movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBills Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It absolutely is. Don't let yourself be spoiled. Do yourself a favor and get out and see that movie. At the risk of sounding like a complete kitty, is it super gory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 At the risk of sounding like a complete kitty, is it super gory? Yes. But it's got so much more going for it. Don't just dismiss it as another dumb slasher movie. Because that's not what it is at all. I don't want to say too much in order to convince you, but don't just take my word for it, as Ajzep points out it's getting insanely good reviews for a horror movie. There are gory parts, but you don't ever feel that they're unnecessary or unwelcome. It might not be for everyone, but it's aims of my favorite horror movies and one of the most original in that genre that I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You've sure got me sold on it, Fong'er...I can't wait! The horror genre tends to frustrate the hell out of me. It's easy to make a great TRAILER for a horror flick, but much harder to make a film worth a damn. I'm dying (no pun intended) to see a horror film that doesn't insult my intelligence or go for nothing but cheap thrills. I'm hopeful this may be the movie I've been waiting for.

Sounds like you'll have a good time. I think the most important thing about Cabin in the Woods is that it's an actual movie, not just some actors milling about for an hour and a half saying things. It reminds me of what it's like to go to a movie and not have 75-100% of the plot figured out before you've seen the movie.

Too many times I just felt ripped off instead of entertained. The horror genre has a rich heritage in terms of the movie experience, but it seems over the last twenty years or so it's been cheapened to the point of absurdity. From time to time there were films that caught my interest since they seemed to actually involve some sort of character development and didn't rely just on cheap thrills. I would love to see a horror "renaissance", so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Okay. I'll admit it. I saw the preview for The Three Stooges, and I'm looking forward to seeing it. The preview may be the best part of the movie, but I don't care. The three guys NAILED the impersonations. Went and saw the stooges today...loved it! Highly recommend it..first 10 minutes kinda suck..but gets way better from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SelmonSmith6378 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Our whole High School saw "The 3 Stooges" yesterday...Almost everyone hated it, but I thought it was good. It wasn;t amazing, but it wasn't horrible either. Over half of the jokes worked and there were 3 or 4 that were really hilarious. Only problem was that too many of the jokes seemed old and unoriginal. So...If I were you, wait for it on DVD. Still a nice movie though Grade: B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
