Xmen... hmmm... Scareface maybe.... The rest seems lame.

i'd get the little mermaid by radjac33	Oct 3rd, 2006 05:11:28 AM
if it had the original pen!s cover like the OG poster.
carlitos way is better by zatoichi2	Oct 3rd, 2006 05:12:03 AM
rappers need to stop talking about how good scarface is cause right now I think it is one of the most over rated movies ever not saying that it's bad just it's not good as some people claim it is

I Spent My $ On Something Else Instead... by Karl Childers	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:02:35 AM
The fanboy in me wanted to buy XMen: The Last Stand today, but Circuit City has each Arrested Development season on sale for $17.99.
Still no seven samurai review then by The hoff	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:02:58 AM
I promise the last time I mention it. A shame I won't get to hear your opinion on the new transfer but I was always going to get it. As for this weeks releases I really should get hold of Casablanca and Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Nice to see the little mermaid getting a decent release as it does mark the moment when disney started to not suck anymore. A real shame they stopped doing 2d animation although an even bigger shame they stopped doing good animated movies. Thankyou for not smoking was as good as i'd hoped it would be definately have to get hold of it at some point. Ah yes X-men 3 what bodily fluids shall i compare you to this week, hmmm wonder what the deleted scenes are maybe WE GET TO SEE THE FUCKING PHOENIX!!!!, Maybe they'll include cyclops or the sentinels or anyone of a thousand things that would mean this movie doesn't suck. God so many ways that movie was a pile of steaming shit but if i start ranting i'll end up stretching this talkback like the enourmous turd this movie was. Lock stock - there's a movie that was screaming out for a directors cut uber edition... oh wait no it wasn't, a clearer example of pointless additions i can't think of. Good film just don't see the point of fiddling with it.
Dude, by rbatty024	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:05:52 AM
please switch this column to tuesdays. Nobody wants you to stop spending time with your family so they can hear about new DVDs one day earlier. Oh, and X3 would have been a great movie, if I was a lobotimized mongoloid.
Point Break is insanely entertaining... by barnaby jones	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:10:34 AM
as is X-Men 3.
almost correct barnaby jones by The hoff	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:11:52 AM
X-men 3 is entertaining if your insane.. and retarded and deaf, blind and have never seen any good films
just a thought... by repus3000	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:23:40 AM
For the most part, old Mori is a decent reviewer and certainly makes the most of each and every post...but one thing I've noticed and really wanted to just say... I really, really believe that subconsciously he feels that he's always 'right' and when he doesn't like something, it's other peoples' faults for liking it. I constantly feel like I'm being 'educated' about why everything I loved so much was really bad all along... it's actually kind of a turn-off, and really reveals a slim myopic view of how things 'ought to be'. All the best wishes, naturally...but I just wanted to say that. PLUS...I LOVED Falling Down. For me, it was absolutely great. "It's great for stompin' QUEEEEEEEEEERS!". Love it!
South Park: The Hits by RenoNevada2000	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:26:08 AM
Didn't I see an ad for this that mentioned it includes the original "Spirit of Christmas"?
Repus... by TheRealMoriarty	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:41:44 AM
... not at all. I'm just acknowledging that even though I don't like something, there are often huge followings for some things. I don't look down at anyone for enjoying anything. All I can ever write about is how I personally react. Please don't think I'm ever telling you what you have to think to be right. I kid sometimes, but it's only kidding.
So Mori by The hoff	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:49:29 AM
what happened to the review of seven samurai? you mentioned a few weeks ago you'd write an extended review and it has yet to show. Don't want to be a pest and appreciate you have a lot of stuff going on but was curious to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks
Damnit, I want a Three Stooges : All The Curly boxset!! by Horseflesh	Oct 3rd, 2006 06:52:16 AM

Point Break is great... by abominate	Oct 3rd, 2006 07:26:12 AM

Why does the lineup of "great" 90's Disney films... by Osmosis Jones	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:03:11 AM
...always end at Lion King? Pocahontas and (especially) The Hunchback Of Notre Dame are both grossly underrated. Hercules is terrific fun. Mulan and Tarzan have some crappy songs, but are generally quite entertaining. It wasn't until Dinosaur and Atlantis that Disney's animation division started to crap out creatively. And as for Mermaid, the film is noteworthy for another reason...it features the first of the SUPER-SEXY modern-day Disney babes, Ariel. There's a good reason why there was a penis hidden on the first VHS cover, you know. ;o)
I really hate the cover for X-3 by Lou Stools	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:03:52 AM
It looks choppy and not well thought out...just like the movie itself.
back to Mori by repus3000	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:10:13 AM
Well Mori...I really want to be as respectful as possible...because you DO unloads lots of quality content here, and you're certainly among the more talented writers here.... but I really have to agree with what I originally wrote. If you just stated your opinion and left it at that...that's one thing. But time after time you go out of your way to attack and disembowel something 'popular' that you didn't like... but you do it by trying to prove how bad it was. Your mini-description of Falling Down is a perfect example of that... how it failed, how it didn't get it's own message right, etc. It's obvious you didn't care for it, and that's perfectly FINE. But you do seem to go out of your way to attack the popular notions at times. You've attacked movies like Crash and Million Dollar Baby like this... pointing out your perceived flaws while pointing to 'superior' examples... not an attack buddy...I think a lot of internet critics do this... but it's not classy, and takes the joy out of the entire experience. Don't buckle down or change cuz I or anyone else thinks this way... but there's an ocean of difference between being critical and a trifle pompous. You don't have to approach every nitpick as though you're either retaliating or defending against an attack... it takes away some of the movie magic. To be fair, this is why I love old Roger Ebert...the guy loves tits.
Agreed... The X Men 3 cover is terrible. by stlfilmwire	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:13:04 AM
That is just REALLY bad. It is almost like some executive with a little photoshop experience decided to save some money and design the artwork himself. Really bad cover.
Lou Stools by ManosTHOF	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:16:42 AM
The beauty of covers these days is that you can find better ones online to download and print everywhere. Some covers, like Serenity, demand this.
Reviews by Sith Witch	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:34:40 AM
Moriarty, do you only review DVD's that are mass-released each Tuesday, or will you also take a look at ones that have distribution, but which aren't readily-available aside from Amazon? http://tinyurl.com/qfkrn
Body Double is arguably the essential De Palma film. by Nate Champion	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:42:00 AM
He's made "better" films -- Blow Out, Carrie, Untouchables, Carlito's Way -- but nothing else he's made so perfectly synthesizes his Hitchcock fetish with a completely up-yours sense of humor. Moriarty is right, the film is more of a comedy than anything else. Apparently it's too much for the ape cage to grasp... in which case, feel free to waste your time with that X-Men malarkey.
"Fuck FALLING DOWN." by Meglos	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:42:58 AM
No. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. I really really really want that Bogie Volume 2 set. And maybe the South Park one. "Wait...so I'm the bad guy here?"
Yup, X-3 needs a new cover... by Lou Stools	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:58:16 AM
I think it's the happy blue sky and fluffy white clouds that's off-putting. If Bob Ross weren't in the ground I'd swear he designed it.
"Including Shemp films and Joe Besser films"... by Garbageman33	Oct 3rd, 2006 08:59:36 AM
Yeah, Mori, that's what we want. Joe Besser shorts. You sir, are obviously not a Stooge fan.
The long lost Departed review by Garbageman33	Oct 3rd, 2006 09:15:08 AM
Weren't you promising that last week? See, that's my problem with this site (as much as one can have a problem with something free that one doesn't have to look at). But hey, last I checked the name of the site was Ain't It Cool News. What, exactly, is cool about a review of a film that comes out in three days and has been reviewed by people all over the Internet? And it's not like you guys don't have the opportunities for scoops. You get invited to film sets and get early previews of films. But then what do you do? You sit on them. You take two weeks to write a few simple paragraphs. And by the time you're done, we don't even care anymore. Because we've already read about the film ad nauseum. All I'm saying is, if I had access to all the early screenings you guys do, I'd do a hell of a lot better job of including my readers.
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels by godzillasushi	Oct 3rd, 2006 09:21:51 AM
Is that movie any good?
Godzillasushi... by Garbageman33	Oct 3rd, 2006 09:30:05 AM
It's a great movie. And it was one of the first to use those seemingly unrelated stories that eventually end up connecting. So, in some ways, we have LSATSB to "thank" for Crash.
Joe Besser... by Lou Stools	Oct 3rd, 2006 09:35:03 AM
The gay Stooge who didn't like to be hit. Pussy!
Why I liked Little Mermaid by Spaz_Monkey	Oct 3rd, 2006 09:41:51 AM
Simple - It would be my unhealthy obsession with red headed cartoon cuties. Ariel was adorable (loved whoever the voice artist is)..... And don't get me started on Kim Possible!
Lock Stock: Overrated. by brycemonkey	Oct 3rd, 2006 09:53:57 AM
The highlight is the poker scene. Then it goes downhill from there. The direction is OK but the acting is terrible. Snatch is Guy Ritchies only decent effort. And he is married to a hag.
Mori, I've come to emjoy and trust your dvd by Borgnine JR	Oct 3rd, 2006 09:54:34 AM
reviews and I think I'm gonna pick up "I was a Teenage movie Maker." I never would have heard of it if it weren't for you.Thanks. Now why don't you write a Big Screen Thundaar the Barbarian movie?
Matt & Trey need to... by biggles2_22	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:03:07 AM
do a spoof on the Muslim religion. Even though it's a "religion of peace", it would really take some brass cajones to take it on! And, Moriarty, how many times do I have to hear about your aversion to organized religion? I guess as often as I read your posts. Keep up the good work. God bless you.
Godzilla sushi by Boba Fat	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:06:53 AM
Lock Stock is derivative cock made by some posh brain donor who wants to be a working class hard man. It's also responsible for launching Vinnie Jones acting career. If it still seems tempting why not see the remake "Snatch"?
Guy Ritchie is ridiculously overrated by Lovecraftfan	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:08:56 AM
If you want to see Britsh crime films with substance see the original Get Carter, The Long Good Friday, and Neil Jordan's Mona Lisa.

Good Disney, and Attacking Scientology by Captain Mal	Oct 3rd, 2006 10:57:46 AM
"Pocohontas" was utterly worthless, but "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is probably the best animated feature that Disney's ever produced. It's gorgeous, it's dark, the songs are haunting and the voice acting is impeccable. I personally think the most underrated Disney feature is "The Emperor's New Groove," which is generally considered a lesser effort, but it had me in stitches, and it holds up well to repeat viewings. / / / Mori, I agree that it's uncool for people to wantonly attack Scientology (or any religion), but it's only fair, really. Christianity is routinely mocked as a matter of course on television, in films, and in music. So far only Matt and Trey seem willing to give Islam the same treatment.
Thank You For Puking by PwnedByStallone	Oct 3rd, 2006 11:04:54 AM
I'm sorry but am I the only one that thought Thank You For Smoking sucked? I mean it would have succeeded as a dark satire and condemnation of the tobacco industry and Washington lobbyists but in the end it does the exact opposite. It seems to glorify the two in my opinion. Even making the guy come out a hero. I found it offensive. The one positive was the way they successfully took a jab at Hollywood. Rob Lowe's prententious pseudo-spiritual Asian bullshit artist/movie producer was hysterical. But other than that the movie failed in my opinion.
"Take some shooting lessons asshole." by PwnedByStallone	Oct 3rd, 2006 11:22:22 AM
Falling Down was great! Respectfully disagree Moriarty. "How's your burger, Maam?" (Reeeetttcccchhh) "I don't think she likes the special sauce, Rick."
Ah, Disney's The Little Mermaid... by themikejonas	Oct 3rd, 2006 11:43:02 AM
...where the moral of the story is: Go ahead and disobey your dad and get involved with evil witches to get what you want, cuz, you know, it'll all work out in the end.
AK-47: Falling Down fails... by brycemonkey	Oct 3rd, 2006 11:57:37 AM
It starts strongly but starts fading strong by the middle and the less said about the end, the better. Interestingly, Thank You for Smoking also fades at the end. However, TYFS had done enough by that point to be a success. How you think TYFS has a bad message but Falling Downs racism/stalker/abusive husband is OK is beyond me... Just my opinion.
How come I've always had a crush on The Little Mermaid? by Orionsangels	Oct 3rd, 2006 12:00:30 PM
I'm not attracted to any cartoon characters. Except her. I remember seeing it in theaters in 89 and I started to blush whenever she smiled. It's so strange. She's not even real.
Ah Point Break = Keanu's worst acting performance ever! by Orionsangels	Oct 3rd, 2006 12:03:38 PM
and believe you me he's done some bad acting. He's so bad delivering lines in Point Break that it almost makes his role in Dracula seem Oscar Worthy.
Didn't care for the story of the Little Mermaid? by AARONIUS	Oct 3rd, 2006 12:05:25 PM
I can tell you why Moriarty. Because it was written specifically for someone besides you. Case in point, my little girl (she's 5). Ariel is my daughter's absolute favorite of all of the Disney princesses, and the story is basically about finding true love and that's what most little girls are into. In the story she finds and marries a handsome prince right? What more does a little girl need to know? If you want a Matrix style plotline I suggest you watch something geared more for adults.
I agree with Moriarty on Falling Down. by Bubba Gillman	Oct 3rd, 2006 12:07:39 PM
It doesn't have the courage of its convictions. It starts out with a portrayal of a seemingly every-man who exhibits this (admittedly unsavory)attitude towards just about every ethnic group, but then backs down by telling us he has a history of mental illness, exacerbated by his firing. It would have been much more challenging (and would have required much more sophisticated film making) if it were about a "regular" guy (sans mental illness) who develops these feelings. Oh, and X3, while not the complete turd some have made it out to be, is not even in the same league as the great SR.
Thank you again , Mori by JAGUART	Oct 3rd, 2006 12:13:07 PM
I really look forward to your DVD release column.
great job as always, Mori... by zombieslayer	Oct 3rd, 2006 12:30:28 PM

I Fucked The Little Mermaid by Rebeck	Oct 3rd, 2006 12:44:23 PM
It's true. I had a fling with the girl they used as the live-action model for Ariel. I can't watch that movie without getting wood. Is that wrong? ...I'm sorry, I had to tell someone.
Oh... by Rebeck	Oct 3rd, 2006 12:48:27 PM
Besides that, it's also the best movie Disney ever made IMO.
X3 is PURE SHIT by NightArrows	Oct 3rd, 2006 12:50:22 PM
Anyone, and I mean anyone, who enjoyed this watered down piece of cinematic pap smear should be kicked in the face and shoved down a garbage chute. Stupidest fucking scene in a film, next to the Bronto stampede in Kong, is the "Movin' the Golden Gate Bridge" scene. Gee, let's blow ALL our budget on a dumb fucking pointless scene instead of actually making Jean DO SOMETHING. This movie was the biggest cinematic McDonalds Cheeseburger ever. Delivered to the lickspittle masses who wouldn't know quality if it kissed them on the mouth and sat on their face. OH and let's not forget the massive fight between Colossus and Juggernaut...OH WAIT, there WASN'T ONE. Let's have Juggernaut fight Kitty fucking Pride instead! YEAH! You know what, there's too many atrocities with this fucking pile of shit to go into anymore, I hope Ratner gets hit with the same case of Herpes Simplex C that is headed towards Bay for fucking Transformers in the ass. Shove this DVD release right up the collective asses of all those fucktards that loved it.
brycemonkey by PwnedByStallone	Oct 3rd, 2006 01:05:55 PM
I have to disagree with you and other about Falling Down. I found it to be an effective indictment of American society in general. gang violence, fast food chains, banks that don't give out loans to those who actually need them, rich assholes taking up the best land for fucking golf courses, kids who can operate bazookas, etc. It's a case study in white male paranoia that shows not only how a man's distorted view and desperation leads him to violence, but also condemns the society that created him in the first place.
DerLanghaarige by Rebeck	Oct 3rd, 2006 01:26:09 PM
LOL, it's true. Her initials are SS and you can find her in the end credits. Unfortunately I'm in the film business and so far that's my best claim to fame! Oh well, I'll take it. That and I broke up a fight between Rosie O'Donnell and Mike Chiklis in college, ha ha. (I think Ro woulda' won) But honestly, the animators did an amazing job capturing her face, her every expression, absolutely perfectly - the resemblance is uncanny. And of course, I'm biased, but I do think she is the sexiest cutest Disney heroine they've ever had. Plus, the music is great, the romance really effective, and you can just feel the studio getting its animation mojo back again. I always felt "Beauty & The Beast" got the (delayed) attention that TLM should have gotten. "The Lion King" is the only other Disney film that rivals it, for me.
AK-47: Yes, that's the movie it wanted to be. by brycemonkey	Oct 3rd, 2006 01:37:07 PM
But what it actually delivers falls well short of that. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
Bitch, Bitch, Bitch by in n out	Oct 3rd, 2006 01:40:12 PM
I like this column, simply because it collects all new releases in one place, so I know what I can buy if I feel like it that week. That being said, it is seriously getting insufferable; all Moriarty does in his opening para is complain about how busy it is and how tough it is to put this thing out. Why do AICN'ers constantly need to remind how difficult this job is for them. It's ridiculous. And then, at the end of the column he ALWAYS gives a run down of shit HE'S WORKING ON. Dude - just put it on the site. Especially since half the time it never gets done (Apocolypse Now extended review, Seven Samurai, Playtime...the list goes on). Just do it, and quit bitching.
Rebeck: Shouldn't you also like Beauty and the Beast? by brycemonkey	Oct 3rd, 2006 01:42:10 PM

Mori, are the commentaries on the South Park dvd... by Shermdawg	Oct 3rd, 2006 02:17:05 PM
full-fledged? Or are they the mini ones like on the season sets? Matt and Trey always say that we fans probably wouldn't want to listen to them for a full episode. They're wrong.

Body Double is a double dip as well by Gwai Lo	Oct 3rd, 2006 03:47:34 PM
Is it worth it to get the new one? What are the new features? I love that movie, maybe my favorite by De Palma
Many answers to many questions... by DanielKurland	Oct 3rd, 2006 04:12:09 PM
The Body Double special edition has four feaurettes on it, that basically are the typical featurettes you'd find, not to say that they're not good. Comedy Central's site says that the DVD DOES have the Spirit of Christmas short, and the new commentaries are in fact mini-commentaries. I'm pretty against "Best Of" discs, but this South Park one is fantastic, to include AWESOME-O, Casa Bonita, and Scott Tenorman Must Die in the same set is wonderful. The "Vol. 1" is a little discouraging through, as these ARE the best episodes. "Vol. 2", "Vol. 3", etc. will just be more and more inferior.

disney was on the cutting edge with little mermaid. what a great social commentary they had with the priest getting a boner during the wedding scene. although it might have been more striking if it was a male and the male was 10 years old. but still. kudos to walt disney's frozen head. hes still got it!

THE LITTLE MERMAID IS A MASTERPIECE!!! by TopHat	Oct 3rd, 2006 11:56:41 PM
How DARE you. HOW-DARE-YOU. ALL of the somgs are fantastic. ALL-OF-THEM. Compare any one of those songs to ANYTHING that's played in any animated film today. The animation in the film is great as well. God damn you, Moriarty. God-damn-you. You probably like THE BLACK CAULDON. Oooooooooh! Its DARK!!! You better show your child THE LITTLE MERMAID, Moriarty. If you don't, you're a ...a ...RACIST. That's right. A RACIST. Is that the kind of father you want to be? Shame on you.
Ummm... by TheRealMoriarty	Oct 4th, 2006 02:27:48 AM
... my little boy sat through a chunk of LITTLE MERMAID the other day with me and his grandmother, but he's not really much for films yet. And I'm not of the opinion that my son has to like what I do. I'll make things available for him, and what he likes, he likes. If he one day decided that his favorite film was Tarsem's THE CELL, I'd smile and encourage him to articulate why he enjoys it, but I'd never tell him he's wrong for liking it. He'll get his USRDA of Disney, I'm sure.

Point Break is the finest action film of the nineties! by brycemonkey	Oct 4th, 2006 02:51:57 PM
Erm, apart from Die Hard. Oh, and about 10 other movies. Sorry Thunderballs, you are so far away from correct that it looks like you might be correct, but only because you have been lapped. 5 times.
X3: It could have been worse (spoilers) by Jack Burton	Oct 4th, 2006 02:52:08 PM
Just saw it last night. Compared to the 2nd it was an utter failure and it is the worst of the trilogy. I agree the Golden Gate bridge move is a big and pointless waste of budget. I liked how they started in daylight and when Magneto and crew arrive it is now dark. Of course bridge or no bridge, it's a long walk across the Bay. It is not a good movie but compared to what I was expecting it came out ok. Ratner is a completely average director though. He has no style at all. The scene at Jean's house should have been massive and instead I found myself wondering why the hell he chose camera angles that made everything look fake (the levitating house). There were way too many plots and not enough time given to any of them. The dialogue was REALLY bad. The only actor that came out relatively unscathed was Ian McKellen and that's just because it's Ian McKellen. Patrick Stewart looked adrift, Wolverine was reduced to Roger Moore era Bond quips, and Jean Grey/Phoenix was give nothing to do until the last 5 minutes. Famke Jansen had what, 10 lines of dialogue maybe? I also don't know how the death/removal of that many characters could feel so unimportant and unmoving but Ratner pulled it off. Is he doing the Wolverine movie too? If so, woo hoo, can't wait. oh yeah, and Hunchback is a great movie. 2nd only to Lion King for the Disney renaissance movies.
POINT BREAK - THE SEQUEL by cwaller	Oct 5th, 2006 05:19:03 AM
i know Mori couldn't care less (i've tried to tip him off), but "point break 2" goes into production next year. CAN'T WAIT! long overdue. it'll put that shameless ripoff, "fast...furious", to shame.
X-Men 3 breaks another record by ejcarter9	Oct 5th, 2006 07:22:18 PM
2.6 million dvds sold so far this week (and this is only Thursday). I know that won't change any of your hatin' minds, but I at least get to say it again... 2.6 million dvds sold so far this week... and it's only Thursday.

X-Men: The Last Stand (Director's Cut) by ClubMixxer31	Oct 9th, 2006 10:03:50 PM
I am more than likely in the minority BUT was checking out the deleted scenes (like Dark Phoenix & the fight outand I loved them. I wonder if there any plans to release a director's cut considering how successful the movie and the DVD release have been so far. If not, THERE SHOULD BE!
Falling X-Men Doubles by shellfishh	Oct 14th, 2006 06:21:09 PM
"Falling Down" was a piece of crap when it came out and hasn't aged well. Wish fullfilment for militia members without any self-awareness. "Body Double" is typical DePalma, flawed but interesting. "X-Men 3".....well, I do agree with Harry's complaint's about the movie. But considering what it was, a mass-market movie not catering to the comic fans...it wasn't horrible. That's the best I can say about it. So I would have to give Mori a 3 for 3 on those.
Just looked it up on the net..... by shellfishh	Oct 14th, 2006 06:26:48 PM
...wasn't aware who directed "Falling Down". Joel F**king Schumacher. Anything else need to be said?
A movie not often mentioned.... by shellfishh	Oct 14th, 2006 06:33:41 PM
Thinking about "Falling Down" and having recently seen "Crash" reminds me of a movie that still haunts me from twenty years ago, Kasdan's "Grand Canyon". Only "Crash" had the audience feel that "oh crap, something BAD is going to happen any second" sensation for virtually the entire movie.
