Quoting:
The only film i've really seen this Summer is Bruce Almighty:  I don't really go to the cinema much.

It was alright but 1) it tip-toed around the whole subject so's not to offend Christians (and other theists i imagine) and 2) it didn't really cover any new ground and it ended with a feel-good, moral-of-the-story ending :-/

And as with all Jim Carrey's films the emphasis, comedy-wise, seemed to be mostly on him making silly faces.

And who cast Jennifer Anniston (sp?) as Jim Carrey's wife (or partner, cos they weren't married, were they.)?  Just not believeable; i hope someone got sacked for that ;)

  Bruce Almighty was only one of three movies I've seen in as many years, and I agree with your review.

I really want to see "Terminator 3" soon.  If its anything like its previous installments, I'm sure it will be excellent.

Go check it out as soon as possible, before it leaves the theatres!!!

They could have probably picked a better actor to play John Connor. Aside from that, it's very good, IMO. Oh, and the Terminatrix is awesome! :D 8)

I don't no if anyone saw "Gigli" (I doubt it), but by what I hear from the critics, looks like an early candidate for the Worst Picture Razzie. I didn't see it, but the previews were atrocious. The late Hepburn and Tracy don't need to fear that Lopez and Affleck will surpass them.

I think From Justin to Kelly has already won that award

Depends on whether enough of the judges saw "From Justin To Kelly". ;)

hehe, thats a good point. ;D

But regarding "Gigli", I'm not surprised it flopped.  Considering the premise and plot and characters involved, I think it was destined to flop way before production even started.


I think this years "Worst Picture Razzi" will be a tie for "From Justin to Kelly", and "Gigli" :D :P

I know they should both tie.

J-Lo is way overrated and I hate the way she talks. Like I told a friend earlier, her voice and the way she talks drives fingernails through the blackboard of my subconscious.

Ben Affleck ain't "all that" either.

I don't think they make a good couple, IMO. I also don't think they have any chemistry on screen.

Kelly must have been on drugs to think she could "make a movie". She also had bad taste and poor judgment to use that overrated wannabe Justin.

A simple home video of waste management personel, stopping by on garbage day, simply picking-up trash cans and emptying them into a dump truck has more depth and soul that any of the aforementioned duds.

Agree. Especially "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over".
That was awfully cheesy and can't believe that Sly Stallone would participate on such a wreck. Well, must be the money.
The same for Harrison Ford ("Hollywood Homicide") and Sally Field ("Legally Blonde II: Red, White,and Blonde).

you know, I have problems with this movie....I saw on Sunday, and while my friends thought it was the best movie of the summer, I was slightly disenchanted by it.....first off, it just didnt feel like an American Pie movie..something was missing...the original American pie was made to show what teenagers are really like, and not some PG-13 version of them...it was to show them in all their hornyness and vulgarness.  AP2 did an alright job in trying to copy that, but failed at certain parts (yet it hit the nail on the head in others)..AP3/AW didnt do it well at all....it went more for shock humor on some levels, and the PG-13 humor on others.....plus, when the main focal point is a wedding, how on earth can you truly show a teenagers/early 20 year olds hornyness?  Its impossible....Even Stiffler couldnt put that forth well, considering the fact that he was the main focus of the movie.......
second off: The first movie was amde so that Jim was not exactly the main chracter....People were suppose to relate to Jim, but more were suppose to relate to Kevin, the guy stuck on third base....in the first movie, everyone was pretty much equal, though Jim came more to the forefront....Stiffler and Finch kinda stayed in the background, and Kevin and Oz were given semi-equal screen time.....in the second movie, Jim was made the main character by far...Oz's role was depleated quite a bit and Finch became slightly more important, thought mostly on Kevin level....Kevin was given his own plot line more or less, but it still took a back seat....Stiffler stole the show, he was given a bigger role, and performed well in it....now, the third one just messed up everything...though the movie was based on Jims wedding, it was Stiffler who was the star...this was Stifflers movie, everything revolved around him...Kevin was reduced to nothingness, he was barely in the script had barely any lines, and really only contributed to one funny scene (in which he didnt even speak...he was tied to a chair and gaged lol)....Oz's character was reduced to so little importance that he wasnt even in the movie...Finch played a semi important role, but I feel that he was more important in the past two movies (though he did contribute to an important running joke or two)....Jim, the person whom the movie was based on was flat in his character...or let me rephrase that, he was flat after the first 20 minutes...he starts off well, but then the script kinda loses interest in him....I dont blame them.....now I didnt even touch the girls (boy, that sounds weird)....the girls were always all secondary characters, which sounds weird, since the males actions were based around the womens.....in the first movie, Nadia, Michelle, Jessica, etc were all just slightly more than non important characters..yeah, they did stuff that was important, but they were not really developed or anything...the only characters that were given development were Mena Suvaris (spelling?)Character (and even that was limited) and Vicky....int he second movie Vicky was very much so developed, and Jessica was kinda too, but not really..Michelle was given slightly different characteristics, and therefore developed more...Nadia was not developed (characterwise) at all, but honestly, who really cared? lol....we were just glad she was in the movie.... int he third one, I can only say that Michelle was delevoped (and very well might I add)..the reason why, because non of the others were in it!  Shannon Elizabeth, Tara Reed, Mena Suvari and the attrice who played jessica (I cant remember her name) were all absent from this film.....

third off: yes, that was all second off lol, AP3 didnt provide many great moments like the first one, or even the second one did....if you ask someone, im sure they can quote a 50 lines from AP1, and a memorable scene....you might get it to a lesser extent with AP2, but with three I doubt you can do it at all....yeah, there were a few things...Stifflers "im gonna rock with my coc.."--yeah, lets not go there...or Finche and Stifflers "youre a motherf___er", "yes I am".....but other than that, there are not many lines...sceen wise there are a few....the opening sequence is classic, the scene with the dogs works too......the gay bar scene with Stiffler is probably gonna be the most remembered scene if not the failed bachler party scene....there were a few running jokes that worked too, like the Stiffler/Finch switch of personality and the Finch is a mother____, but not many.....Characterwise, Sean Williams scott as stiffler was used to his fullist, and carried the movie, and Finch was used well as well....Eugene Levy is always reliable and did what he did best, put Jim (and Michelle) in uncomforatble situations discussing adult themes....Jennifer Coolidge is never used well as Stifflers mom, and Fred Willard was definitly miscast as Michelles dad...he didnt provide any finny jokes in his charater.....now, I read reviews i which it said that Tim Allen was suppose to be in the movie as Stifflers dad (which seems like perfect casting)...now, I watched the movie, and I have yet to see one scene with him in it......did they cut Tim Allen?

Well, anyway, I just ranted on why I dont think this was the best of he AP trilligy, or of the summer or anything...it wasnt a bad movie, it definitly was better than others, but it was missing something..I dont know....something just made it not seem like AP.....sorry, for going on like this....what did you guys think?

Sly needs the money....he hasnt been in a good movie since Oscar......

Harrison Ford is just trying to get a more youthful audience, and Sally Field probably thought it was a good role (I dont know, i actully didnt see Legally Blonde 2)..well, or the other two, but whatever

...actually, not since Rocky 4.





And regarding "American Wedding", I haven't seen it, and don't plan to.  Well maybe on video.  I thought "American Pie I II" were both good, but I think its been strethched too far with this new one.

I think sometimes the movie studios push the franchise way too far to streatch out every last dime they can from a movie, and majority of the time it ends up being a flop.

and miss out on Rambo 4?  ;D

Quoting:
Just saw American Wedding.  I gotta say I disagree with parts of your analysis.  Yes, several members of the original cast did not make it to the sequel.  You might see this as a bad thing; I saw it as getting rid of the least necessary and least interesting characters.  Chris Klein and Mena Suvari have moved on beyond needing the American Pie series, and the American Pie series has no need for them either.  Tara Reid, Shannon Elizabeth, Natasha Lyonne... no real need for them either.  Granted, this makes the third movie a fundamentally different one from the first, but I don't see that as a problem.  So Stifler is pretty much the main character.  Good.  He's also the best character.

I thought it was better than the second movie.
End Quote

The only thing I don't get is how they keep getting new directors for each sequel. I mean, the Weitz brothers did a decent job on the first one, but the second and third ones had directors I haven't ever heard of...

and thats the problem....I guess I went into the theater with the expecation that the third installment was going to be like the first two,,,its not really a bad thing, its just not American Pie in my eyes, but then again, thats probably why thy didnt call it American Pie 3....its American Wedding because its not suppose to be just a third American Pie, its a more mature variation of it....


well, this is just great....I just disproved my own analysis...perfect
