And yes... there is something that all these movies have in common. Can you guess what I am referring to?
-
What?... no one even has a guess? :devil: :devil: :devil:
-
Someone die in them
I know it's a lame attempt :-[
-
There is not a musical in the mix! :tease:
-
No theme... its a trick question :tease:
-
Someone die in them
I know it's a lame attempt :-[
Nope... no one dies in 13 Going on 30. Didn't have to go past the first one there! :devil:
-
There is not a musical in the mix! :tease:
While that may be true... there is enough music in Corpse Bride to make me a biit ill! :p But nope... not it! :devil:
-
No theme... its a trick question :tease:
Ohhh! Nice guess... and is something I would do! But not this time! :devil:
-
Well, I don't see "Miss Congeniality" in the list so I guess a Sandra Bullock movie is out? :laugh: Maybe...Movies With A Lot OF BlooD In Them? :P
-
Nope... I count a good 20 or so with no blood at all... including several Romantic Comedies! :devil:
Today is Wednesday... if no one can get it beforehand I will announce the theme some time tomorrow.
-
What? no more guesses today? You mean to tell me that you people are THAT easy to stump? :tease:
-
Film you haven't reviewed yet? :p
-
Thanks for the idea for the next time I want to do this... but there is a LOAD of movies in that list I already reviewed! :devil:
Hey... Dead and Deader is in that list... and that is one of the last ones I reviewed! :devil:
-
You mean to tell me that you people are THAT easy to stump? :tease:
It's hard :yellowcard:
Maybe if you remove some of them it would help us :whistle:
I can't see anything except that all the movies are actors in them and it can't be that ridiculous kind of answer :laugh:
-
Is it the label? There's a lot of what was Touchstone in there, which links with Disney, so then there's also a link to Miramax?
-

I can't see anything except that all the movies are actors in them and it can't be that ridiculous kind of answer :laugh:
I purposely put a lot because I thought it would help you all. Would a smaller number of such a diverse group of movies really help? If so just look at one side. Or just look at the first 10 titles.
-
Is it the label? There's a lot of what was Touchstone in there, which links with Disney, so then there's also a link to Miramax?
Very good guess... but no... that is not it.
-
All the movies were made in the United States?
-
I would have to look at the list again to be sure... but even if you are right... that is not the theme! :devil:
-
:stars: wow dad, you really can pick 'em!!!!
maybe they're all movies you wanna watch with your daughter when she comes home this weekend? :whistle:
no? ok, umm :hmmmm: ........ movies that you had to order and weren't sent to you or given as a gift? movies that you gave the same rating to before? movies that are labeled ok for people 14 and up?
ok, that's all I got, so since you're revealing tomorrow, if none is right then I :surrender:
-
These are all the DVDs who you moved the MC to the correct field.
-
I have no clue...unless the theme is just that they are all movies you own. :hysterical:
After working 10 + hours a day for the last few days, my brain is frazzled, so I can't think of anything else.
-
One last guess before you reveal it tomorrow...
All the titles are in english :yu:
So what did I win :whistle:
-
At first I thought, when Pete announced the game, how difficult can it be? He'll watch a bunch of vampire or zobie films and that'l be the theme. Wow, was I wrong.
Pete, seems you've been terribly creative here, finding a "theme" that manages to have 13 Going on 30, Army of Darkness and Dawn of the Dead on the same list.
Is it all movies you have seen before, but not more than once...?
-
All guesses are wrong! :devil:
I will be doing the big reveal here shortly.
-
OK... here we go... The big reveal...
I guess none of you looked at ANY of the actors in the movies. Because...

See... told you they all had a common theme! :devil: :devil: :devil: :tease: :tease: :tease:
So I stumped you all... what did I win? :tease:
As I said... this is a small selection I could possibly watch. So I will be watching from the above list as well as some that are not even on the list.
But if there is any in the list that you would like to see me review... please feel free to make requests... and I will do my best (no promises) to get to them at some point this weekend.
-
Wow I'm impressed. I must admit I spent a long time looking at that list but I would never have guessed to look at all the actors and their previous roles.

My Thoughts:
This is the first time I watched this movie since I first bought it back in 2003. It is of course a spoof on teen romantic comedies. It is a fun movie... there was a couple scenes I could have done without... but over-all it is worth checking out.
This particular movie had 3 people that I recognized from TV Series. First one being Mia Krishner who I know from 2 shows. An old Saturday Morning kid series Dracula: The Series where she played Sophie, the young girl the brothers meet and helps them attempt to defeat Dracula. Then there is Eric Christian Olsen who played Jensen in the second season of Tru Calling. And finally we got Joanne Garcia, she played Cheyenne in Reba... here she plays the cheerleader with Turrets. Which was a fun gag in a few scenes through-out the movie.

:p Not Another Teen Movie also has the guy from Freaks and Geeks (Samm Levine)

Thanks... never seen that series.

I'm calling foul on your reveal! Mainly because it crossed my mind, but I dismissed it... :bag:
Well done for finding them, but blimey, some are thin! You're including cameos! :redcard: :tease:
-
For the most part I only had DVD profiler to go by... and they don't identify Cameos. Basically went to TV Series... clicked the names of the main stars and went from there. :P

Well, I guess I was wrong though I never posted my own guess which would've been...

The aftershock hits Northern California, reaching 8.4, splitting the earth and swallowing a train as it cruises along the landscape. The chance of an aftershock being greater than the quake is virtually unprecedented. Dr. Samantha Hill (Kim Delaney), an expert on hidden fault lines, and the President of the United States (Beau Bridges) must race against time to save the lives of millions.
Highlighted by state-of-the-art special effects, it's Armageddon 700 kilometers below the earth's surface as the fear factor is raised to terrifying proportions. 10.5 is an epic spectacle of human drama and ultimate disaster.

My Thoughts:
This is actually a TV Miniseries.. but I often watch these as movies during my weekend (or in this case slightly more then a weekend) marathons. I picked this one for a few different TV stars that I recognized. First there is John Schnider who played in the TV Shows The Dukes of Hazzard (Bo Duke) and Smallville (Johnathon Kent). Then there is Kaley Cuoco who I know from the series Charmed (Billie) and The Big Bang Theory (Penny). And then finally David Cubitt who I know from Medium (Det. Lee Scanlon).
This is one I have watched a few times since I bought it. The first time I didn't even know who Kaley Cuoco was. I know of many people that didn't care for this movie because of it not being realistic. Like for example the earthquake following the train track down till it swallowed the train it was chasing. And I do understand and agree it is not very realistic. But I always seen movies and TV Series as not having to be realistic... just entertaining. In my eyes... it is not realistic here in the real world. But it is in the fantasy world I am watching. And because of this attitude I was able to enjoy this one quite a bit.

Well you know...technically I was right since you own them all. ;) And so was Jimmy since the titles are in English.

Title: The Fog: Widescreen Unrated Version
Year: 2005
Director: Rupert Wainwright
Rating: NR
Length: 103 Min.
Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.35:1
Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1, French: Dolby Digital: 5.1, Commentary: Dolby Digital: Dolby Surround
Subtitles: English, French
Stars:
Tom Welling
Maggie Grace
Selma Blair
DeRay Davis
Kenneth Welsh
Plot:
From producer John Carpenter comes the all-new retelling of his terror classic, THE FOG. Tom Welling (TV's "Smallville"), Maggie Grace (TV's "Lost") and Selma Blair (Hellboy) star in this sense-shattering tale of demonic retribution, directed by Rupert Wainwright (Stigmata) with screenplay by Cooper Layne.
Trapped within an eerie mist, the residents of Antonio Bay have become the unwitting victims of a horrifying vengeance. One hundred years ago, a ship carrying lepers was purposely lured onto the rocky coastline and sunk, drowning all aboard. Now they're back, long-dead mariners who've waited a century for their revenge. Seeking out the decedents of those responsible for their deaths, they lurk enshrouded within a supernatural fog of terror. Beware, any and all who stand in their way.

My Thoughts:
I chose the remake of The Fog for this marathon because of Tom Welling who is Clark Kent on Smallville and for Lost's Maggie Grace. This is one remake that kinda disappointed me. It is nowhere near as good as the original. And it seemed so strange to see Tom Welling in a part other then Clark Kent. Speaking of Tom Welling... he just didn't pull this role off. He seemed so stiff... so wooden in the role. They really didn't pull off the characters that well... as most of them I just couldn't get myself to care about. I thought the effects of the fog rolling in at the beginning of the movie could have been done better as well. But with that said there was some good parts... some pretty cool kill scenes and such... especially towards the end of the movie. While it is not a movie I can see watching often. There will be times I can see watching it. For different themed marathons and such.

My Thoughts:
This one I picked because Emily Deschanel is in it... who plays Dr. Brennen on Bones. We also get to see Lucy Lawless who is Xena: The Warrior Princess... though hers wasn't that big of a role... just see her in flashback scenes here and there throughout the story. She plays the main character's mother. I did enjoy the movie. But it could have been better. It was a little on the weird side so you need to pay attention to what you are watching or you could easily get confused.

My Thoughts:
As with most TV Movies this has it's share of familiar faces from TV Series. In this one we have Pamela Sue Martin (The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries), Barbara Billingsley (Leave it to Beaver), Woody Harrelson (Cheers), Jeff Conway (Taxi), Nigel Bennett (Forever Knight) and James B. Sikking (Doogie Howser, M.D.). This is one of my favorite TV movies in my entire collection. I have now watched it 6 times in the last 4 years since I bought it. I found the story to be interesting. It is not as scary as I would like... but there is a few eerie scenes. Unfortunately the DVD itself leaves a lot to be desired. No extras what so ever... not even any trailers. The Audio and video quality is fine but nothing to get excited about. But I guess that is to be expected from a low budget DVD release.

OK Jimmy... I am leaving it up to you again! There is 2 other reviews from me for Bay Cove... But this one is much more detailed. So you can either add it to the list, change one of the links or change a link and delete the other. Your choice! :thumbup:

My Thoughts:
Watching this one today for Jennifer Garner of Alias fame and Kathy Baker who played Jill Brock (the mother) in Picket Fences. This is a fun movie. Like in the movie Big we have a character that makes a wish to be grown up. Jennifer Garner does a great job playing a teen girl trapped in a grown woman's body. some of the expressions on her face... especially in the beginning where she don't know what is going on... is completely hilarious.

My Thoughts:
I am watching this one for Kaley Cuoco who I know from the series Charmed (Billie) and The Big Bang Theory (Penny). I originally bought this movie (about 2 yrs. ago) because of her being in it. That and because I always like the story of Sleepy Hollow. Nick Carter played a real jerk in the movie... and he did a better then I expected job. Not a great actor... but not terrible either. I think Kaley Cuoco did a fine job as well. I have mixed feelings about the pumpkin head on the Headless Horseman... it was some pretty cool graphics for sure... but there just seemed to be something slightly off about it. The movie itself is no more then a fun... leave your brain at the door.. popcorn movie. One that I really like a lot. Probably a little more then I should. This is now the 3rd time I watched this movie since I bought it.

My Thoughts:
As you can see from the Overview... This movie has 3 TV Stars to make this movie relevant for this marathon. It has William Katt, George Wendt & Richard Moll. This is a fun Comedy-Horror movie. It is not perfect... but it is definitely entertaining. I really enjoyed George Wendt as the neighbor. Worth checking out for some non-sense fun.

My Thoughts:
I watched this movie for Jennifer Aniston (Friends) and Catherine Bell (JAG). I have already watched this one several times so I am surprised there wasn't a review up for it here yet. The first thing I noticed was that the DVD had trailers before the menu. Which is no big deal... but you couldn't bypass them by hitting the Menu button or then Next button. Best you could do is fast forward through them. The movie itself I really enjoyed. Definitely has some hilarious parts in it. And I think Morgan Freeman as God was great.

Subtitles: English, French, Spanish
Stars:
Johnny Depp as Victor Van Dort (Voice)

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride carries on in the dark, romantic tradition of his classic Edward Scissorhands and Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Set in a 19th-century European village, this stop-motion animated feature follows the story of Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), a young man whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter), while his real bride Victoria (voiced by Emily Watson) waits bereft in the land of the living. Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colorful than his strict upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world - or the next - that can keep him away from his one true love. It's a tale of optimism, romance and a very lively afterlife, told in classic Burton style.

My Thoughts:
I am watching this one in this marathon for 2 reasons. First it stars Johnny Depp who starred in the TV Series 21 Jump Street back in the '80s. And also because Brittany wanted to watch a movie with me. And I let her decide what she wanted to watch. And this was her pick. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride is a fun animated movie that is good for the entire family any time... but especially around Halloween. This is the first taste of Tim Burton's animation I ever had as I still never seen Tim Buton's Nightmare Before Christmas... but think I may have to see about adding it to my collection as well. I will say that there is a little too much music in this movie for my taste. But it is bearable. I still enjoyed it... I would have just enjoyed it more without the songs in it.
