Almighty Rod Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I thought Black Sheep was a perfect example of a film trying way too hard. It also wasn't sure whether it wanted to be a legit horror with cheesy elements (see almost every 80s horror film ever made) or a comedy that parodies horror (see Shaun of the Dead).
insert_name_here Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I watched "The Hangover" yesterday and i fucking loved it, definitly one of the best comedies of the year IMO. That and "Role Models" which was also brilliant.

It also wasn't sure whether it wanted to be a legit horror with cheesy elements (see almost every 80s horror film ever made) or a comedy that parodies horror (see Shaun of the Dead). I don't think it matters. Surely you don't need to pigeon hole a movie into a particular genre to enjoy it? I see where your coming from as I remember watching black sheep and thinking similar things. Just see it how you want to see it. I personally thought it was a great film, it was essentially a horror comedy, a genre which is becoming more and more filled out in recent years with stuff like the cottage, which I also quite enjoyed, even if it did have Jenifer Elleson in it.

I personally thought it was a great film, it was essentially a horror comedy, a genre which is becoming more and more filled out in recent years with stuff like the cottage, which I also quite enjoyed, even if it did have Jenifer Elleson in it. It mattered more because it actually worked as being a legit horror with cheesy elements. When it tried to be a full on comedy I stopped enjoying it and it was also really jarring to have it jumping between the two throughout. Also, to be honest, it was quite boring anyway.
Paid Members FLips Posted June 12, 2009 Paid Members Posted June 12, 2009 I think it falls inbetween the two categories. Some parts reminded me of stuff like Shaun of the Dead, but some of it was so horribly cheesy that it was funny. I'm not sure if it does fit into one or the other or if it's even trying to but it entertained me at least.
Fallout Boy Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I watched X-Men 2 earlier, here's my review: Rebecca Romijn's arse is magnificent.
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted June 12, 2009 Paid Members Posted June 12, 2009 I enjoyed Black Sheep. It's got a similar style of humour as Bad Taste, in that it's ridiculous in where it goes, but it's played straight. Must be an Australasian thing. I see it this way. It cost

Harvey Dent Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I went to see The Hangover today, in short, it was hilarious. There was good chemistry between the main 3 actors and it was generally pretty funny without going down the teen sex comedy route.
Steveo2007 Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Watched Bronson and really enjoyed it. Tom Hardy is a really good actor and took the part of Bronson and made it his own. Very comical in parts with the unpredictable character of Bronson and just thought the entire look and feel of the film was quite bizarre but genuinely enjoyable.
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted June 14, 2009 Paid Members Posted June 14, 2009 Anybody watched that "Looking for Eric" film? Looks quite good.
Steveo2007 Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I'm not usually into football themed films, but must say I agree that it looks like it could be very good. Love the "I am not a man, I am Cantona" line.
Ez Money Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I have Bronson here ready to watch. Tried to watch Anchorman the other day after buying as my mate at work keeps on going on about it. Turned it off after 15 mins, I will endevour to watch it all EZ
CaptainCharisma Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 The Hangover is immensely funny. Literally not a dull moment throughout.
