About two years ago I rented "Get Down On It." That's the one where the two girls compete to see who'll marry first. Now, Hollywood Video lets you rent movies for five days, but they had that sucker back within 24 hours. I don't know why I expected any depth from characters named Kinky and Ta-Ta!

This "cinematic train wreck" was cited in another post called Mystery Ghetto Theater 3000 (http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11459). Indeed!

Video Rentals:

Leaving Las Vegas-I had to watch this for a substance abuse class so I didn't have much of a choice. But what made it so bad was that I rented it from the public library and for non-educational videos and DVD's you had to pay a dollar and after I watched that movie, I wanted my dollar back and went as far as to ask the librarian for a refund!!

In The Theater:

The Blair Witch Project-WTF was that???? :confused:
Baby Boy-Pimp Slaps for ALL involved!!!!

When I saw the preview for that movie I was like, WTF! I think I was more freaked out by the talking bears than interested.:eek:

I actually liked the Talented Mr. Ripley. But I am glad to know that I was not the only one that did not get the point of the Blair Witch Project!:confused:

[ladeia]

:mad: I Got the Hook Up!!!
Master P and Ezel (the crackhead off Friday)

I rented this movie off the advice of my ex. He was like, "man it was funny, you're going to like it." I immediately took it back to Hollywood video and got my $3.98 back.

How could I have forgotten:

AUSTIN POWERS -- mofo still owes me 99 cents :mad:

[exquizit]

That movie SUCKS!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

[Bamboozled]

Thanks for posting that Exquizit. My dilemma Friday night was to see either Phone Booth or Head of State and since I heard such awful things about Phone Booth, I opted for Head of State. So, in case you haven't seen it yet, Do Not Waste Your Money on Head of State. It was horrible. I already told y'all that Chris Rock is not funny to me (in movies that is), but I expected Bernie Mack to pick up his slack. How come all Bernie's funny parts were shown on the commercial? HC the story line sucked? HC Chris Tucker's movie on the same subject will be 10xs better??? HC I'm so mad I wasted my money on this movie? Hc maybe I'm just getting too damn old?

[librasoul22]

Dang y'all. I was supposed to go see Phone Booth later tonight. Maybe I will catch Anger Managment instead...

[prospectiverushee]

So I went ahead and rented Trois this weekend.:o OMG!!! That movie was cheesy. Was there even a plot?:confused: And how did Terrence/Eric turn out to be the crazy one? That was just silly.

Clockstoppers is also so bad that I could get thur the whole move. I got it at Walmart, and I'm thinking about selling it

[NUPE4LIFE]

IF ANYONE HAS SEEN MULHOLLAND DRIVE, COULD YOU PLEASE PM ME AND EXPLAIN THAT WHOLE FREAKING MOVIE TO ME!

Say it ain't so! I LOVED Brown Sugar! I thought Shallow Hal was alright, but then again I didn't pay for it either. :p

CT4, you know I have your back! The Coalition can come for both of us.

"Monster's Ball" was POINTLESS!! :mad:

"Love Come Down" was a mile-high pile of HOT GARBAGE!! :mad: :mad:

LOL, my brother said it should have been called Love and Hip Hop.

[exquizit]

The brat dragged me to see this...................

Although she was treating, this was one that would have been better off a rent one get one free movie......

[enlightenment06]

THEY. That movie was sooooo wack!!! Don't even rent it, it's just that bad.

[CrimsonTide4]

THE MATRIX .. . . keep in mind saw this one too at the 50 cents show. . . it dragged for me. . .I spent more time paying attention to my snuck in movie treats than the movie after a while. . .

:eek: I loved this movie. Your the first person I've heard say they didn't enjoy it. Maybe the Matrix Reloaded will change your mind.:) Give it another chance.

Umm no. I will stick to going to see something else like Daddy's Day Care.

[NUPE4LIFE]

DADDY'S DAY CARE? Please tell me that sarcasm is at work here. Two words, PLUTO NASH!

I just read that someone didn't like The Matrix. How is that possible? Are you not into sci-fi or action? Maybe that genre just isn't your cup of tea. But The Matrix is definitely a HOT movie. I think you should watch it again. :)

Yes, you read that I did not care for the MATRIX. You also read that if Ideal wants to see the sequel, I will be in another theater watching something else. No there is no need to WATCH IT AGAIN or any of its sequels.

HC I cannot say that I did not like one movie and folks be up in arms with it but someone don't like ___________ and folks roll with it?

:confused: :rolleyes:

Nope, no sarcasm @ all. Did not see Pluto Nash @ all. I run hot and cold on Eddie Murphy, but I think this one will be an enjoyable flick. It's my $$ + my time = See what I want to see.

CT4, you are not alone. I, ClassyLady, did not enjoy The Matrix. I wasted two hours of my life that I will never get back on that nonsense. If I had seen it in the theaters, I would have been livid.

You ain't have to quote my dude!! :p lol

Frat, I don't really get into sci-fi flicks, if you want to know the truth. But I really fell in love with The Matrix. I love everything about it!!

I noticed that there are a few movies on this thread that I thoroughly enjoyed. It reminds me of an Inroads workshop we went to in Pre-Collegiate. This dude was talkin' about how "everyone has preferences." I wish y'all coulda been there, it was really funny. That was 12 years ago (dang) and we STILL use that in conversation.

Everyone has preferences...

Oh, and N4L, I'll PM you about Mulholland Drive. Liked that one, too! Although towards the end, I was like WTF??? We had to get on the internet to get the explanation.

THE FIVE HEARTBEATS = BLACK CLASSIC

The Matrix = SMIRK

I AT LEAST SAAAAAAAAW The Matrix/

[beauty_6049]

Undercover Brotherwas a bad movie! People actually were leaving the movie 30 minutes after it began.

[Paradise359]

1) They
2)Darkness Falls (They part II)
3)Vanilla Sky
4)Memento

And a host of others that would take ALL day to list lol

[lovelyivy84]

I'm with all of you on Vanilla Sky. You're better off renting the original film that it was based on - Abre Los Ojos. THAT was a good movie!

Stealing Harvard was just poor. Tom Green was funny for two seconds then he just got on my nerves. And the premise does NOT work. This girl has got financial aid coming but they still need 33,000? So they gave her 300 bucks for books? Harvard? THey have about the biggest federal grant ever! I give them credit on the fin aid tip- I have heard no complaints from Harvard headz about their money situation. Oh well.

The Ring. THe movie was scary for all of fifteen minutes that I ahd to sit through two long boring hors to get through. IT was like Sixth Sense Redux. Speaking of which....

Sixth Sense - wasn't scared. wasn't that interested either.

Blair Witch. THis movie could only have been interesting if you thought it was real or something. Otherwise it was just tedious.

See IMO movies that are really BAD can be njoyable simply because they're amusingly awful. I can deal with that. Movies that are just long and boring though.... I can't take.

Oh and in closing, I am on the Matrix train! I can't WAIT to see Jada kick arse in the sequel!

Waiting to Exhale (12/23/95) Those wimmens can keep on waiting
