That Show Sucks » Friday Night Movie Night

Friday Night Movie Night, April 2

MovieCritic — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 14:33:53 +0000

The weekend has finally came around and I’m sure you’re ready for it. Here is where we post our recommendations for anyone and everyone interested in watching a movie, on any medium. We hope you enjoy and take our advice.

Going to the Theater:

If you want to get out and actually spend money in our current economy, here are the top two movies that everyone should enjoy if you haven’t seen them already.

First Choice: How to Train Your Dragon (3d)

Close Second: Percy Jackson and the really long title

I removed Alice in Wonderland from the list this week, because I honestly wasn’t that impressed with the movie. If you haven’t had time to go see How to Train Your Dragon make sure to do that this week or as soon as possible. The show has incredible graphics and the storyline is unique enough to keep you entertained.

Redbox:

If you’re too lazy and don’t feel like going to the theater, then here are our two suggestions for you to pick up at your local unnamed movie-disposal box that may or may not be the color red.

First Choice: Where the Wild Things Are

Close Second: Fast and the Furious

Where the Wild Things Are is based on a children’s novel that pretty much everyone in the country has read at some point or another in their life. The book was amazing and the movie lives up to that standard. I have seen all the Fast and the Furious movies and found this fourth installment to be one of the best ones. Most of us are trying to forget about number 3 and consider the trilogy complete with number 4.

Netflix:

If you can’t even make it to a local rental place or redbox, but have streaming Netflix at home via computer or xbox, then here are a couple of winners for your night.

First Choice: Shawshank Redemption

Close Second: War Games

Shawshank Redemption is actually the best movie ever made and has held the number 1 spot on my personal list for quite some time. The acting is incredible, the storyline captivating, and the ending is surprising. War Games is older and pretty outdated for a kid-hacker movie, but I actually really enjoyed watching this movie. It was interesting to see what they portrayed as a possible end of the world situation and how it could be avoided.

Enjoy your weekend and don’t do anything stupid, like alphabetizing your movie collection by director.

Let us know in the comments section if you plan on or did watch any of these films. Also, any ideas for weekend movie/tv activities are welcome as well.

Friday Night Movie Night, March 26th

MovieCritic — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:57:46 +0000

Going to the Theater:

If you want to get out and actually spend money in our current economy, here are the top two movies that everyone should enjoy if you haven’t seen them already.

First Choice: How to Train Your Dragon (3d)

Close Second: Alice in Wonderland

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I have already seen How to Train Your Dragon at an early screening and the movie rocks. This movie is fit for kids and adults without being boring. You really feel the viking culture that the creators portray. Alice in Wonderland wasn’t my favorite movie, but it was worth seeing, especially if you like Johnny Depp.

Redbox:

If you’re too lazy and don’t feel like going to the theater, then here are our two suggestions for you to pick up at your local unnamed movie-disposal box that may or may not be the color red.

First Choice: Twilight

Close Second: Julie & Julia

So I have to explain the first choice before you think I’m crazy. I think that everyone should go and make fun of the movie Twilight this weekend, because I’m betting you have some random free Redbox code lying around or can look one up online. Why not take this opportunity to make fun of Twilight with your friends and not have to pay to do it? That is why Twilight has received my number one spot for this weekend. Oh and if you actually like the movie, well, that’s nice… Julie & Julia can get slow at parts, but if you want to feel hungry by the end of the movie, this one is for you.

Netflix:

If you can’t even make it to a local rental place or redbox, but have streaming Netflix at home via computer or xbox, then here are a couple of winners for your night.

First Choice: Angels and Demons

Close Second: Signs

I actually found out that Angels and Demons was on streaming Netflix a couple nights ago and have already watched it again. It’s a great show based on the hit Dan Brown book and is ten times better than Da Vinci Code. Signs is a not-so-scary horror’ish’ film about crop circles and is one of my favorite M Night Shyamalan movies.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget that you’re closer Monday every single minute…

Friday Night Movie Night, March 19, 2010

MovieCritic — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:09:01 +0000

Going to the Theater:

If you want to get out and actually spend money in our current economy, here are the top two movies that everyone should enjoy if you haven’t seen them already (click title to see trailer).

First Choice: Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Close Second: Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Diary of a Wimpy Kid looks like it could be a decent movie, or at least it has the potential to do so. I saw the preview and think, if done right, this movie could bring back all those terrible memories of middle school. Oh and I still think that Percy Jackson and the really long title is a great movie, but don’t take my word for it…

Redbox:

If you’re too lazy and don’t feel like going to the theater, then here are our two suggestions for you to pick up at your local unnamed movie-disposal box that may or may not be the color red.

First Choice: Precious

Close Second: The Hurt Locker

Precious looks like a great movie to make you feel terrible about life, but was recommended by our friends over at the Academy, so it must have some redeeming value. The same goes for Hurt Locker, except for the whole story line thing.

Netflix:

If you can’t even make it to a local rental place or redbox, but have streaming Netflix at home via computer or xbox, then here are a couple of winners for your night.

First Choice: The Rock

Close Second: Vertigo

The Rock is an older, but awesomer, action film, that I have enjoyed watching over and over throughout the years. This Nicholas Cage movie actually has a plot and doesn’t involve him acting soooo much like Nicolas Cage. Vertigo is an oldy but a goody and is worth the two hours.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget that you’re closer Monday every single minute…

Friday Night Movie Night Feb. 25, 2010

MovieCritic — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:25:25 +0000

Okay, well I’m a little disappointed in the lack of good movies coming out in the theaters lately. It seems like all the good shows get lumped together and then everything that sucks fills in all the gaps. There is some hope in Netflix and Redbox movies, but honestly, avoid the theaters and save your money.

Going to the Theater:

If you want to get out and actually spend money in our current economy, here are the top two movies that everyone should enjoy if you haven’t seen them already (click title to see trailer).

First Choice: Sherlock Holmes

Close Second: Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Avatar is off the list only because you should have seen it already. Sherlock Holmes is arguably one of the better Robert Downey Jr. Movies. Percy Jackson and the really long title is a great show for kids and adults alike.

Redbox:

If you’re too lazy and don’t feel like going to the theater, then here are our two suggestions for you to pick up at your local unnamed movie-disposal box that may or may not be the color red.

First Choice: Anchorman

Close Second: Terminator Salvation

Anchorman can get a little crude at parts, but it’s a very funny movie. I find myself quoting several lines from the movie pretty regularly. Terminator is a great show for any kind of an action buff. The movie gives guys what they want in a movie without making it unbearable for women to watch too.

Netflix:

If you can’t even make it to a local rental place or redbox, but have streaming Netflix at home via computer or xbox, then here are a couple of winners for your night.

First Choice: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Close Second: Air Force One

I have one word for Eternal Sunshine and the Spotless Mind: Trippy. Trippy, but good. Air Force One is a classic and anyone and everyone who likes Harrison Ford and any of his movies will love this one.

Have a great weekend and don’t do anything stupid, like watch the Never Ending Story upside down while eating Skittles.

Friday Night Movie Night, Febuary 4, 2010

MovieCritic — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:32:39 +0000

Tomorrow is the day you have been looking forward to since Monday morning. Make sure that you spend your weekend wisely and don’t watch any crappy movies (like Surrogates …). ThatShowSucks is here to help you understand what is worth your time and your money this upcoming weekend.

Going to the Theater:

If you want to get out and actually spend money in our current economy here are the top two movies that everyone should see sooner or later (click title to see trailer).

First Choice: Avatar

Close Second: When in Rome

I know that Avatar has been on the list for the past three weeks, but come on, it’s Avatar. When in Rome took third place in the box office results last week and is a pretty funny show.

Redbox:

If you are too lazy and don’t feel like going to the theater then here are our two suggestions for you to pick up at your local unnamed movie-disposal box that may or may not be the color red.

First Choice: Zoolander

Close Second: Julie and Julia

Zoolander is one of my personal favorites as far as comedy goes. I got roped into watching the Julie and Julia film and actually liked it, but I’m warning you, you will finish the movie hungry.

Netflix:

If you can’t even make it to a local rental place or redbox, but have streaming Netflix at home via computer or xbox, then here are a couple of winners for your night.

First Choice: Best in Show

Close Second: The Count of Monte Cristo

Best in show is a witty mockumentary about a dog show. If you ever had respect for people who take their dogs to these dog shows that will disapear by the end of this film. The Count of Monte Cristo is hands down one of the best action movies to come out in the past 10 years.

Enjoy the weekend and try to forget the fact that once you get home from work Friday that you only have 40 hours of being awake before you’re back in the office again.

Friday Night Movie Night, January 29

MovieCritic — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:33:22 +0000

So it’s almost the weekend and you might be wondering how you’re going to wind down and relax this weekend. Thatshowsucks.com is here to help you make some movie watching decisions to help your weekend be as enjoyable as possible. We have three categories of movie watchers (going to the theater group, redbox, and netflix) to make sure that no matter where you are you’ll have some great shows to watch.

Going to the Theater:

If you want to get out and actually spend money in our current economy here are the top two movies that everyone should see sooner or later (click title to see trailer).

First Choice: Avatar

Close Second: Blind Side

Both of these Movies are incredible and if you’ve already seen them, well, go see them again.

Redbox:

If you are too lazy and don’t feel like going to the theater then here are our two suggestions for you to pick up at your local unnamed movie-disposal box that may or may not be the color red.

First Choice: Michael Jackson’s This Is It

Close Second: Angels & Demons

The Michael Jackson movie should be an interesting one if you haven’t taken the time to see it. Angels & Demons is a great show, which is easily ten times better than Da Vinci Code.

Netflix:

If you can’t even make it to a local rental place or redbox, but have streaming Netflix at home via computer or xbox, then here are a couple of winners for your night.

First Choice: Traitor

Close Second: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (original version)

I personally got a little freaked out with Jonny Depp version of Willy Wonka, but the original is a good show. Traitor was a really interesting movie that makes you think a little bit, but be warned, it can be slow at some times.

Well we hope that you have a great weekend and that we’ve helped you decide what movies will make this weekend slightly less boring than usual.
