Splice














Alex says:
SPLICE!!! was spicy!
tony says:
i really did not enjoy this film at first
tony says:
but after reading some of the reviews and thinking about it.. i think it's not that bad
Alex says:
that actress who portrayed Dren is not getting anything else
Alex says:
ppl are gonna be freaked seeing her
tony says:
dren is creepy
Alex says:
its a great film
Alex says:
and not a monster/horror film that its made out to be
tony says:
enlighten us al
tony says:
this is certainly your field
Alex says:
its a cautionary tale on the dangers of working with your spouse!
Alex says:
dats right!
Alex says:
has nothing to do with messing around with science!
tony says:
woah that explanation came out of left field
Alex says:
bitch be crazy!
tony says:
watch what u say, heathen!
Alex says:
yeah I said it
tony says:
i can never fully dislike a film
tony says:
and she was awesome
tony says:
she held the movie together
tony says:
she was brilliant
tony says:
even at being a biatch
tony says:
brody was the crazy one
tony says:
and gross
Alex says:
fine, its a film about parenting and family, and science and biotech
tony says:
thank you
Alex says:
Brody is the man, ummm predators coming out!
tony says:
he is most certainly not the man
tony says:
look there is a lot i can say about this film
tony says:
but it all comes down to the fact that it had sarah polley in it
tony says:
thats it
tony says:
its great
tony says:
done
Alex says:
if there is a film that I'd have to recommend this year so far, then its this one
Alex says:
don't watch it thinking its a horror film or monster flick
tony says:
im surprised u liked it this much
tony says:
didnt it seem kinda rediculous and unreal at times?
Alex says:
and its written in a risque way that only Canadian cinema can
tony says:
that's not a critism.. polley is in it
Alex says:
I can see it from the laughing audience's point of view, but those ppl were all expecting the Fly or Species
tony says:
thats true
tony says:
8/10 for me
tony says:
polley
tony says:
done
Alex says:
8.5/10 for me

Prince of Persia















tony says:
so before we start this review.. let me ask you a question.. if you had the sands of time dagger.. would you have used it so that no one else had to suffer and remember the awful film that is prince of persia?
Alex says:
I would've watched the film, used it and watched another film, cuz only the holder of the dagger is aware of whats happened
Alex says:
infact I might use the dagger all the time for everything
tony says:
oh of course
tony says:
but knowing that you just watched what was a peice of crap.. would you have used the dagger to save me and the audience?
Alex says:
no
tony says:
you bastard
Alex says:
I'd rewind and make all the calls
tony says:
actually i'd probably do that too
tony says:
without giving anything away
tony says:
this film has one of the worst endings i have ever seen
Alex says:
but apparently, the game follows the course of the movie, the prince rewinds time all the way back, just like the film
Alex says:
for a movie they should've worked around that ending
Alex says:
its the same ending as waking up from a dream
tony says:
there also wasnt enough jumping
Alex says:
needed more jumping indeed
Alex says:
spiderman like jumping
tony says:
he jumped in the movie as much as i'd jump in the intro of the video game
tony says:
just wasnt enough
tony says:
and the princess was so annoying
tony says:
it was the accent
Alex says:
no she wasn't!
Alex says:
and you like the accent
tony says:
her accent didnt annoy u?
Alex says:
no you love the accent
tony says:
did not!
tony says:
the only thing i liked about this film was the zulu knife thrower
tony says:
that guy was badass
Alex says:
I'm gonna rewatch the movie with everyone elses voice removed and just listen to Gemma talk
tony says:
sigh
tony says:
you would too
Alex says:
I want PoP 2 and 3
tony says:
how could there be?
tony says:
what would be the conflict?!
tony says:
this movie is stupid enough as is
Alex says:
ummmm more assassins, more mystical evil genies and his own evil self from abusing the dagger
tony says:
oh i guess thats true
tony says:
but no more ben kingsley
Alex says:
Mark Strong for PoP 2's bad guy
Alex says:
but this film was an allusion to drug use
tony says:
are you telling me this film was a social commentary on drug abuse?
Alex says:
no, but there were enough of social commentaries that I did not appreciate in this film, the whole war and weapons of mass destructions
tony says:
you read too much into things
tony says:
it was a disney film for pete sakes
Alex says:
Disney is deep
tony says:
this was basically a film to probably introduce a new ride in their park
Alex says:
what? bungie jumping?
tony says:
something like that
Alex says:
would you ostrich race?
tony says:
YES!
tony says:
would u?
tony says:
that sheet looked fun
Alex says:
no, they seem frail
tony says:
i'll frail you!
Alex says:
I enjoyed the persian ninjas also
tony says:
i missed the training part
tony says:
but they seemed epic
tony says:
ok im gonna give this film a 6/10 ending just kills it for me
Alex says:
7/10, standard hollywood summer fare, one of the better vidya game to movies in a long time and if there is a sequel, its gonna be epic,

Robin Hood














tony says:
i only liked this movie slightly more than the ghetto cartoon rocket robin hood
it was THAT BAD
Alex says:
that speaks volumnes..... against the cartoon! I liked Robin Hood.
tony says:
me too..... when it was kevin costner
Alex says:
it was like watching Robin Hood Begins or something. and, please, men in tights was superior
tony says:
oh true true but it just seemed to want to be a different robin hood so badly.. that it failed! they changed everything thats great about robin hood
Alex says:
it was the beginning of the legend
tony says:
the man shot 4 arrows max. he could shoot more!
Alex says:
when Robin Hood 2 comes out, it'll have everything you'd want, the merry men, the evil Sheriff and more arrow shooting
tony says:
there is NOT gonna be a sequel
Alex says:
remember that last arrow in the film? it was a prelude of things to come
tony says:
i hope to god there isnt! so he just all of a sudden became a good archer ? thats rediculous
Alex says:
NO! didn't you watch the film?! he was already full specced marksmanship
tony says:
i couldnt tell! the dude shot 4 arrows which could be all luck
Alex says:
you just wanted Legolas action
tony says:
another thumbs up performance from mark strong though.. wouldnt u say? and william hurt too
they played well off each other
Alex says:
Hes the new evil go to guy 2010
tony says:
agreed and king john was good too
Alex says:
ummm no! Max von sydow! the immortal
tony says:
what? i didnt even know that was him as the blind guy? holy hell i may have just liked the movie a lil more now
Alex says:
he has a movie career that spans like 50 years
Alex says:
and cate!
tony says:
he's truly epic!! thoughts on the merry men?
Alex says:
needed more of the merrymen and little jon
tony says:
hahaha
tony says:
the cast was excellent minus russel crowe... but i just didnt like the story
Alex says:
OH DONT LIKE TUCK!
Alex says:
cuz FRAIRTRUCK ruined the character for me
tony says:
yeah i agree tuck was scumbag looking
Alex says:
I kept thinking theres gonna be that one scene wheres hes standing behind a pillar
tony says:
dont bring ftruck into this.. the man is a legend.. horseshit!
Alex says:
I HEALED!
tony says:
hahaahaha ok so i guess im gonna give this a 6.5/10 forgettable but somewhat entertaining
Alex says:
nope, better for me, 7.5/10 it was a Robin Hood film done in the style of an origin movie
tony says:
i hate origin movies! so that might be the problem
