Escape to the Movies: Buried

[Markness]

Tommorow when the war began movie was kinda so-so imo. Still it could have been much worse.

 

[LightspeedJack]

Bob I think me and you are about the only ones in the world happy that Snyder is directing Superman. Zack Snyder is kind of becoming the new M Knight Shamalan.

 

[Gunnyboy]

This movie sucked. Too many contrivances, with one of the WORST SCORES in a very long time


Why is Bob doing a movie that came out weeks ago?

It's also hands down my favorite vampire movie of all time. I've heard mostly good things about the remake, and will probably see it over the weekend, but I want to hear Bob's take.

Let Me In is great and better than the original.

Bob. It's time to have an intervention. I don't know if you are a lecherous creep or just playing on TV but it's getting really annoying either way. It's literally interfering with your job. Your job is comment on Buried not get side tracked and start showing pictures of attractive actresses.

1 Attractive movie actresses are not rare.

2 If we wanted to see publicly released stills we would use Google.

3 Women watch this too, or at least would watch it if they weren't discouraged by the blatant fan service and objectification.

4 Using someone's copyrighted photos to boost your view count is pretty low.

I know this video isn't the worst example but it's the straw that broke the camel's back. Have some dignity. You're a 28 year old balding man. Publicly Drooling of pretty women makes you look pathetic. Please stick to your movie reviews and analysis not superficial judgments of women.

I can understand this point of view...and somewhat support it. The Escapist has a female audience, and this audience isn't a small percent, having to listen to a twenty eight year old man drooling over half-naked actresses in suggestive posses isn't exactly the best experience for a woman.

signed up on the forums to register my annoyance that as a homo, saying "Scarlett Johannson, Yeahhhh" is increasingly beginning to irritate.

I watch your reviews for insight into how movies work, a-la RedLetterMedia/MrPlinkett. This comicbookguy wink wink nudge nudgery is not becoming of you, Bobski.

You could become an equal opportunities lech and Yeahhh. Jacob from twilight a few times

Nice work as always, but I have one mild disagreement about the Wonder Woman rumor.

1. I think superheroes are better suited to TV than movies. Think about it: comic books come out typically once per month. Done right (which they often aren't, I admit), that sort of serialized story telling should translate way better to the weekly format of TV than to the movie format of one two-hour story released every two to four years. When Smallville's good, it's actually pretty fun. It's just that they tried to blend Superman with the teen angst of Dawson's Creek, so when it's bad it's excruciating. Which shouldn't be a problem with better show runners. Bringing me to...

2. If you're pessimistic about anything written by David E. Kelley, you need to watch Boston Legal. A few closing arguments by James Spader as Alan Shore and you'll forget Ally McBeal ever existed. I know I did.

I'm Aussie, and I say, go see Tomorrow when the war began, just so you can see how beautiful the Australian rural life can be. Plus, it being Australian, I am sort of proud of it

 

[eels05]

Ok Bob.
I'd give 'Tomorrow when the War Bagan" a big 'meh'.
It just feels like a made for TV effort to me.
My girlfried dragged me to it as she's religiously read every book in the series.
I'd say think think Red Dawn but with aussies.It was ok but fairly forgetable.

 

[fgdfgdgd]

As an Aussie, i'll sign off on Tomorrow When the War Began, it's not fantastic, but it's still pretty good, definetally worth the ticket purchase.

 

[Vrex360]

Speaking as an Australian Fan MovieBob.... YES, Tomorrow when the War Began is a fantastic movie that is definitely worth a look, it's more of a drama then it is an action movie but regardless, it's good. Especially given its low budget, if you get a chance please review it.
... Mate.

Anyway, great review, the movie sounds interesting and I am eagerly awaiting a chance to go see it.

 

[Electrogecko]

Wow...sounds pretty fricken intense.

 

[Julianking93]

Goddamn, I'm so mad at my town for advertising the fuck out of this.....yet they never bothered to show it at any fucking theatre.

Ugh. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVD.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Hmm... this sounds interesting.

Also, it should be further proof that HOLLYWOOD DOESN'T NEED EXPLOSIONS TO MAKE AN EXCITING MOVIE!

Well he showed a shirtless Ryan Reynolds. You should all just take a breather. Does it honestly bother you that much?

 

[reaperman22]

I'm an aussie and yep tomorrow when the war began is actually a pretty good movie, considering the book is basically a rip off of red dawn they did a pretty good job of making the movie different and in my opinion better

 

[RTR]

At first Bob had me going when I thought he was going to say the movie sucks. Thankfully that wasn't the case.
I want to see this movie SO BAD but it doesn't come to Mexico 'till early 2011.

 

[lacktheknack]

Apparently, there was a promo where they would BURY YOU ALIVE IN A COFFIN WITH AN LCD SCREEN and play "Buried". FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

...Where do you live? It came out last week in Canada...

 

[The Journey]

Poor Wonder Woman.

And Smallville was alright...until it just went batshit.

What, you mean thirty seconds into the first episode? So you liked the Intro then. Interesting.

Buried

This week MovieBob goes underground and watches Buried.

Watch Video

Yeah Bob, Tommorow When the War began has a terrible case of being the first book in a series so it's really slow, fairly uninteresting and has the most dissappointing climax ever. The characters are vaguely interesting and they made some bad choices with certain minor characters. But it's enjoyable.

SNIP

*cough* wolf creek *cough* and if that's not your cup of tea, Pitch Black was filmed in australia with a huge line up of minor aussie actors (including somin from Play School!) which would constitue as contributing to the Aussie Film Industry.

*SNIP*

Dark City is also a great Australian movie from when we once made decent films. Though that might of been made in New Zealand rather than Australia... but hey whats the difference

 

[Wiiiiiiilliam]

Good News everyone has me excited
