Escape to the Movies: No Strings Attached

[EchetusXe]

heh, Evolution was probably one of the first (non-kids) movies I saw.

 

[jumjalalabash]

Anyone else get a total sense of deju vu when Bob was explaining the general idea of the movie...

Yeah, the entire video I was thinking, this sounds a lot like "Zack and Miri make a porno". Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it's one of the few romantic comedies I like.

I remember now. The movie is the exact same plot as that "Love & other drugs" movie Bob did 2 months back. Good to see the movie industry still struggles to make new ideas.

I don't care if it's any good. Hearing those same three quotes in EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMN COMMERCIAL BREAK for the past 2 weeks has made me hate it.

 

[WaderiAAA]

I never knew I was supposed to hate Ashton. I rarely like his work, but I don't think he's all that hateable either.

 

[pilf]

after reading that bit about the verynice looking xmen costumes i went straight to youtube and blasted the old cartoon theme now i'm happy, thank you Bob.

 

[mrhateful]

Why is everyone hating on Glen Beck to me that guy seemes awesome, as he is one of the few speakers of libertarian values.

Also i understand you don't like freedom aka being a socialist, but do you have to keep shoving it in our faces??

1. Gotta love the roles Natalie Portman, just for being at least slightly unpredictable when it comes to what roles she takes... also for being insanely pretty.

2. Is it just me or is there more R-rated romantic comedies coming out now than before? Maybe I'm just starting to pay attention..

3. Evolution FTW, it's pretty to look at and stupid in a non-insulting way. Perfect for when you want to watch a movie without having to focus too much.

4. X-Men looking like X-Men is all fine, but it doesn't really distract from the fact that it's the wrong X-Men

Has anyone ever seen any of those Japanese movies where they actually show some of the sex scenes? Wouldn't be just great if American movies started doing that? It would be the first time my wife and I went the the theater and I wanted to see a movie like this too.

Evoloution being a good film?

It shamelessly Xeroxs Ghostbusters but with aliens.

And best Rom-Com still has to go to Shaun of the Dead in my book.

I would watch the hell out of "Ultraman vs. the King's Speech."

Or maybe, "The King's Speech to Ultraman?"

The only part of that movie that doesn't write itself is the title.

ok i really want to see that

 

[somonels]

I was actually expecting The King's Speech.

 

[GunboatDiplomat]

When I first started sleeping with girls I remmeber my aprents laughing and telling me "Every generation think they invented sex"

FWB has been around a lot longer than 10 years Bob. It wasn't new and edgy then although I'm sure it seemed that way...

Edit: Otherwsie really good review as usual

 

[PunkRex]

Evolution, under appreciated, damn right. I LOVE THAT FILM!!!

Play that funky music white boy!!!

 

[Arawn.Chernobog]

Good review, I might pick this up on rental later on...

I just can't side with the typical conclusion of "Status Quo was right and we're idiots for trying to challenge it" (especially when the alleged Status Quo is a LIE, as it is in the case of "FWBs") so I'm not too comfortable checking this in the theatres in exchange for other, probably better, movies (or just re-watching the AMAZING Black Swan)

 

[Gralian]

Evolution wasn't necessarily under-appreciated, i actually remember there being a cartoon series based on that film many years ago.

These kinds of films make me wretch. But it's nice to see someone try to be subjective about it - god knows i never could be - though one does have to wonder if Moviebob only gave it the thumbs up for Portman's appearance, considering he has a soft spot for the sexy ladies...

 

[darth gditch]

So basically, hate the genre, liked the movie? That's fair.

Still won't see it myself, I just don't go for that kind of thing. Doesn't entertain me as much.

 

[leviadragon99]

It does still piss me off though that the "moral values" are so damm conservative in this one, and mainstream media as a whole for that matter..

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

I know it's only a during credits scene I'm commenting on, but that was a pretty bad-ass-looking Captain America

 

[shufflemonkey16]

Sounds like a not-as-good version of 500 Days of Summer.
