Talladega Nights & The Descent

Depression · August 3rd, 2006, 09:17 PM

I can't believe how good The Descent is doing. Its shaping up to be one of the best reviewed horror flicks since The Ring. It currently stands at 90%, and not just over a first batch of about10 reviews, out of 40!

Talladega Nights is also doing pretty good. 73% for a comedy is pretty high. Currently has 30 reviews. I wouldn't be surprised if that drops to about 60-65%, which is still fairly high for a comedy.

I'm most likely going to see Talladega Nights tomorrow as our theater isn't getting The Descent on opening weekend.

Talladega Nights looks like the best comedy movie since Anchor Man

Hah. Usually "a bunch of people getting slaughtered in a cave" movies don't get very good ratings

I want to go see Talladega Nights, looks fun.

The Descent, eh.

I'm not interested in NASCAR(no less a spoof on it) in the least and as stupid as Talladega Nights looks, I can't help but be curious. The reviews are not looking too bad either.

Ricky Bobby looks hilarious.

and it can't hurt that it's got Will Farell, the king of dumb comedies.

I'm gonna watch them both, although I have to say I want to see Talladega Nights more because it looks so damn funny....of course.

The Descent looks creepy, bloody & dark so I wanna see it.

i thought Talladega Nights wasn't that funny, just dumb (except the part when strikes the knife in his leg, THAT was funny!)

Descent: I dunno. Reminds me of Saw. Hated that movie, too.

The Descent is being directed by Neil Marshall, who did a little movie called Dog Soldiers, which is a cult hit, and one of my favorites... There is nothing like a man going crazy throwing pots at a werewolf, AWESOME!

Yeah I'm probably going to see Talladega Nights and Clerks 2 tonight.

njjn · August 4th, 2006, 07:03 AM

The Descent looks really good unlike the piece of sh*t that was The Cave

I'll probably see Talledega to.

Talladega Nights looks funny and I'm hoping to see that soon.

I hadn't even heard of The Descent mentioned it to me this morning.
