Damn! I was really looking forward to this movie! Had high hopes... and they came tumbling down.
Stupid misleading trailers....

Always good to see Jerrid! And also good to hear that this film was pretty much just what I expected it was going to be...I'll be spending my money elsewhere, methinks.

Hey brad love your reviews. Just wanted to recommend a new British Horror Film called Kill List.It was one of the best films of last year,I'd love to see you review it.All the best!
Reply to this
Well I think this is a movie I will avoid. lol
Reply to this
Right now it's rated 7% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Sounds about right.
Reply to this
Brad, hate to bring bad news to you but........
Channing Tatum's in the G.I. Joe sequel.
Reply to this
I figured =) It doesn't surprise me that they'd want to, more or less, keep him out of the trailer.
Reply to this
They kill him off though with in the 1st 10-30mins of the movie or they're suppose to!
Reply to this
Or kill him off a minute into the trailer rather.
Reply to this
As a fan of G.I.Joe (the cartoons, comics, and figures)it breaks my heart that the people behind the first movie did such a shitty job that the character of Duke, the second in command and field leader of the Joes, has to be relegated to side character statis. I love that we are getting the Rock as Roadblock and Bruce Willis as Joe Colton. Maybe they can save what should be an awesome franchise. I just hope we end up getting Beach Head and Spirit.
Reply to this
They aren't killing Channing Tatum off in this one, unfortunately. I did notice a distinct lack of Wayans funking up the screen though. That alone is worth the price of admission.
Reply to this
And at the very least it looks like the G.I. Joe organization is being broken up. That means no boring uniforms for the Joe characters like they had to wear in the first one. Why did Hasbro even allow that? A lack of individualism for the Joe characters makes for really boring action figures.
Reply to this
Brad you should look forward to Tintin. It's good. For once us Europeans got an american-produced movie before you guys, but im sure you'll like it.
Reply to this
I ain't 'fraid of no ghosts.
Reply to this
Brad's right, she was saying "connect the cuts."
Reply to this
The first movie was god-awful. We used to play with the figures hours at a time back in the days. I went nuts when I heard they were making a G.I. Joe (Action Force in Europe) movie and those first pictures of Snake Eyes were cool.
Then few weeks ago I saw they were making another one; "NO GOD PLEASE NO!"
But the trailer actually looks pretty good. Might be foolish to hope it will be good, but what can you do
Reply to this
I JUST came back from seeing this movie. A little too late to realize there was no ending! When it cut to black, my mother went, "THAT'S IT?" I guess I'll have to see the last act on their website or whatever. Is it odd I thought the priests would make a good gay sitcom together on the logo channel?
Reply to this
OH GOD. I forgot the dog. The only time I jumped was when the director turned up the volume on a dog barking. RATED R MATERIAL!!!
Reply to this
Oh the subject of the movie I had no expectations or interest in it from the get go, but I'm glad to hear ya'll's thoughts on it! Sounds like the kind of movie I'll watch on SyFy in a few months.
Chronicles looks pretty good to me! It doesn't come off as a "superhero" movie to me it comes off more like a psychic gone mad with power movie like the Anime classic AKIRA! Basically it looks and sounds a lot more like an AKIRA movie than that abortion they're trying to make with the Twilight chick! Basically a teenage boy gets Kenetic powers and goes on a rampage killing people and his friends most stop him and from that one scene in what looks like a hospital parking lot the government wants him as a weapon!
What the fuck is with the Underworld hate? Those movies use a lot more practical effects than CGI! The only time they use CGI in those movies are when it would looked like crap if doe with a guy in a suit. Like when the Werewolves climb up walls. The new one yes looks to have a giant 20ft tall CGI werewolf but how else would they pull that off and have it move!? And don't lump it in with freaking Twilight it at last has real vampires in it not sparkly fairies!
Reply to this
Real vampires doesn't automatically make a movie good. And just because something is tall doesn't mean it can't be done practically; plus regardless of whether or not they can make something with practical effects or not, it doesn't mean people can't make fun of it if it looks like a cartoon.
Reply to this
True it doesn't because I personally don't like the LaStat(or however it's spelled) films or series!
Where's a good example of a movie in-which there's is some sort of creature that large movie at a high rate of speed that isn't claymation either! Because I can see threw old Godzilla and King Kong style movie effects more than CGI! It's a fantacy movie that's got a gothic symbolization to it. It all looks like a cartoon! But I like cartoons! I liked RotPotA and the lead in it was a completely CGI Chimp and I still bought into it! I'd probably not have liked it as much if they stuck a dude in an ape suit and had him play monkey on screen. The Congo movie caught all sorts of hell for that and that had some of the best animatronics artist working on it! It all looks fake. But, my main point was I actually like the story in Underworld it is Vampires and Werewolves at war with each other where you actually get them killing each other they have an excuse for their fighting it isn't some semi-retarded emo girl in "love" with duel and pasty and a reject of Jersey Shore. The only complaint I got with Underworld franchise is it started out with the dude was mint to be the lead but since the main actress is now married to and was much more well received by the audience she's been made the lead character a-la Mila Jovanovic in Resident Evil, but at least not completely to that level. She wasn't in or even the main focus of the 3rd movie. Also, the main reason I don't like it being lumped in with Twilight is Twilight is a Romance movie for teenage girls that happens to have "Vampires" and "Werewolves" in them. Underworld is an action movie about Vampires and Werewolves that happens to have as a sub-subplot a small romance that if cut would change the overall story!
Reply to this
You're completely missing the point about why guys like Brad and such criticize CGI. It isn't always because one looks real and the other looks fake (though a lot of times, that is the case). It's also because, a lot of times, there is no weight to CGI. Regardless if a claymation or a "man in suit" effect looks real or not, it is a physical object on screen, it has weight to it, and the actors have something to act against. With a lot of CGI, it looks like nothing more than a cartoon and you can tell right away that it isn't a physical object with some kind of presence on screen.
Reply to this
I give up I'm not arguing this anymore! I personally don't care if something is CGI unless they could've done in real life like the whole CGI nipples debate in a movie I'd never watch to begin with! It just most be the fact I like Fantacy and Scifi movies the most the ones that use the crap the most because they're mint not to be with in the realms of reality! If they were I would like them!
My only point here was he condemned a movie from a scene featuring a giant CGI werewolf from the trailer.
Reply to this
I thought he condemned the movie for being another "shameful sequel" for a terrible franchise. This time with a hokey looking 20 ft. tall CGI werewolf.
Reply to this
What the fuck do you gotta add to this conversation!? I wasn't talking to you!
Reply to this
Dude. People are free to join in any conversation here. Don't be a dick. =)
Reply to this
Sorry but he was pissing me off!
Reply to this
I'm just trying to figure out where you get the idea that the giant werewolf was moving at, "a high rate of speed" from the half second of a clip they show of it.
Oh, and as an Underworld defender (and obvious fan) shouldn't you be calling them Lycans?
Reply to this
"Real Vampires"...
You just lost any ounce of credibility you had with that term. Twilight may be awful tripe, but it's interpretations of Vampires are just as valid as the classic Bram Stoker's version. The mythological vampires and the Hollywood vampires have all sorts of different variations, often depending on where the myths arose. Not every myth about vampires made them unable to stand the sun. Some only went as far as saying they were weaker during the day. Hell, even the Bram Stoker's Dracula movie from a few years back had Dracula able to walk around in daylight... he just was weaker then.
Reply to this
And you lost all creditably when you defended Twilight to me!
I know all the vampire lore already yes Vampire could walk in daylight but were physically weakend to the point they could just drop dead and turn back into a normal human corpse! They also had OCD with counting and untying knots, they couldn't cross running water, and they didn't just turn into bats they could change into any animal they wanted pretty much! I know this crap! What I mean by REAL VAMPIRES are realistic and classic realistic vampire a-la Blade movies! No magic BS! Also nowhere in any lore beside the Twilight movies and book have I heard of vampires that sparkled or where made of stone on the inside! But true neither was there any that burst into flame! I read Bram Stoker's book too! It was a million times better that that movie! Another thing about the old vampires they don't actually feel human emotions anymore they are basically glorified zombies!
Reply to this
Bwah? Where did I defend Twilight?
You mean the part where I called it awful tripe? Cause that's a strange definition for defending something. I recognize it's awful. Though I will admit the last film before Breaking Dawn at least had a decent fight scene.
And are you really really arguing "realistic" vampires? Seriously? After defending a CGI 20 ft. Werewolf in the latest crappy Underworld film. Anyone who's celebrating Underworld has no right looking down their nose at Twilight or it's fans. Especially considering the first Underworld was a poor Romeo and Juliet ripoff.
And again, there have been numerous interpretations of Vampires all throught history. From the very first myths, to Bram Stoker, to the varous movie interpretations. Doing something new with the rules isn't a bad thing. It's just how it's done.
Reply to this
"You just lost any ounce of credibility you had with that term. Twilight may be awful tripe, but it's interpretations of Vampires are just as valid as the classic Bram Stoker's version," That is what I mint! You basically said it's vampires are "as valid as the classic Bram Stoker's version,"
fuck it this argument is going nowhere and fast I don't care anymore!
Everone else gets to rip on Twilight but me ok I'll except it! bring it on! I'm the most retarded fuck on here! Thank you!

"What I mean by REAL VAMPIRES are realistic and classic realistic vampire a-la Blade movies!"
The "classic vampire" is a solo predator often outcast from society - not someone who parties with a whole bunch of other vampires in a penthouse loft and does hits of blood off prostitutes like lines of coke off the ass of a... well, off of a prostitute.
For someone spouting off about untying knots and crossing running water, you sure don't know much about the definition of a "classic" vampire.
Reply to this
Bingo. That's why I thought his going after Brad for not falling on his knees for Underworld was so funny. Regardless, nobody should be using the term "realistic vampires" and be taken seriously.
Reply to this
I think the last movie I went to that had a great audience reaction to it like what you guys had, was Punisher: War Zone. Non stop laughter in that theater.
Reply to this
I *never* trust horror-flicks with those commercials with the night-vision shots of test audiences in the theater, screaming and freaking the fuck out. I can't think of one that's ever been that good.
Reply to this
As a catholic scholar I gotta say this movie was horrible complete garbage made by people who know nothing of the exorcism ritual how police work in Rome is done how common sense works and how the hierarchy of the vatican works this movie is complete garbage I'd rather watch "The Last Exorcism" than this 0 stars
Reply to this
Paranormal State: The Movie?
I think CGI looks fake. To my eyes, that shit looks like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Beowulf might as well have been some Dreamworks cartoon. I also dislike Underworld, but for mostly unrelated reasons.
And directing people to a website for the thrilling conclusion, that's a pretty strange thing to inflict on a paying movie audience. Surprise, the whole movie was just a tie-in to some website.

I like these multiperson reviews of current movies. ^_^
Reply to this
I cannot watch this it is too long for me to fit into my busy busy schedule, also Jerrid using an Italian accent for the German pope has left me so offended I cannot bear to use my computer again. For shame Mr. Jones!!! Keep up the excellent work Brad, glad to see this was a steaming turd of a flick and fuck the whiners.
Reply to this
One person in the movie I went to say boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Reply to this
Hey Brad
I know how you feel when it comes to mockumentaries, especially ones about exorcisms. Although handycam moveis like cloverfield aren't quite the same, I was curious what your opinion on REC and REC2 was, given that by the second one they really expanded on the whole Excorcism aspect of it. Also the effects for the most part seemed conventional, The suit used for the dripping hag in the dark looked like something out of silent hill. I personally really enjoyed the two of them, but it'd be awesome to hear what u think on the two. Anyways have a good one dude!

Beast, BooRat, you two need to take it outside! We're not gonna have you two ruining the shag carpet by spilling each other's blood in here!
This is a website of taste and sophistication! That's why the word, "Snob" is in the title, goddamnit!

I am deeply Sorry! I was trying to be civil til I was told I had no creditably.
I've been trolled more than twice this week and am a bit edgy!

This allready seems like a bad movie in the start. But in the company of friends it could be fun I think.
Reply to this
Damn, I've been looking forward to this movie for SUCH a long time...
I'm still gonna see it, but looking around the 'net, it's not looking good.
Reply to this
Brad coul you please please shorten your reviews when you have other people with you about a time for let's say 20-30 minutes max. ? That would be cool. Nice Review by the way! (except for the lenght)
Reply to this
Shorten his reviews when he has more people in them to add to the review? Not sure how that works. I'm fine with the length. In fact, I'm often left wanting more when Brad & Friends (no relation to Barney & Friends) are finished with their reviews. And they clearly had a lot they wanted to say about this film. And can you blame them? I'm just shocked how much money the damn thing is making. But like was mentioned in the review, nothing was really opening against it.
Reply to this
No, I'm not going to do that. These are unscripted discussion videos, they'll go on as long as we're talking, sorry =)
Reply to this
Yeah, the trailer looked great. The movie? Kinda boring. And I saw it with, like, 2 other strangers in the theater. Shitty way to start the year.
If I want to watch an exorcisim movie, I'll stick with REAL exorcisim movies, like The Exorcist, thank you.

The "Smurfs" sequel comes out in august 2013, is Jake going to see it?
Reply to this
I hope you know, now that you've made this suggestion, that Jake will be finding and killing you. It's going to be like his rendition of "Taken".
Reply to this
I loved the first G.I.JOE (I have no opinion on Chaning Tatum or whatever it's spelled). I'm not looking forward to the new one. Removing almost all the characters, including IMPORTANT members of COBRA pisses me off. I'll still see it as a fan of G.I.JOE, and because evem if it's a shitty G.I.JOE movie, it could still be a decent action movie.
Reply to this
"I COULD BE WRONG, but I SWEAR TO GOD it was connect the cuts!" Funny juxtaposition there, Brad lol. I am surprised how many people I know on facebook saw the movie though, been seeing nothing but statuses about how disappointing it was. Now, if this were an actual documentary where they actually got access to the Vatican, that'd be something.
Reply to this
I know, that made me laugh too =) Basically I said "I could be wrong" just to ease Jerrid's spirits a little bit, even though I knew 110% she said "connect the cuts."
Reply to this
I didn't get the whole shit with that until my mom told me it was a reference to Connecticut which is the state she lived in...? But it was still lame.
Reply to this
Yeah Brad, you are right. The mom was saying "connect the cuts". I remember from one of Spoony's videos awhile back, he mentions the trailer and states that's what the mother is saying. Plus I heard it very clearly. You're lucky to have the audience laughing at the end. My audience, although was very few (seriously our theater was near empty) laughed during the entire movie, then when it was over, everyone was silent and quietly filed out of the theater.
Reply to this
The movie did 16.8 million... ON FRIDAY.
And here's another thing:
apparently the movie cost a million dollars. ONE million dollars. With this and the Paranormal Activity movies Paramount is making 30+ million opening weekends with moviet that cost way less than 10 million dollars. These cheap horror movies are making money back in the first midnight screenings! I'd be little more exited if these movies were truly awesome and the lack of budget was compensated with some truly spectacular and imaginitive writing and such, but no, instead we're propably gonna get a dozen more of these "here's a low seven figures for you, sir, now go buy a cheap home camera and shoot me a PG-13 horror movie" types.
Why don't you give me a million, I already got a camera. Here's my pitch:
it's like Paranormal Activity and all these handheld documentary horror movies meets... ALIEN! Yeah, lots of lights outside of the window and the alien would imitate people Bodysnatchers/ The Thing style, so there's no need for costly FX. SOLD! Coming to a theater near you in three months!
Reply to this
shit you got a camera, you cant possibly do any worse with a 10$ budget. the whole paranormal activity thing is kinda weak. it worked in the original one okay but the 2 and 3rd blew and all the knock offs sucked. so you might as well make a crash grab film and get rich.
Reply to this
Sounds like we have another "The Room" but with a higher budget.
Reply to this
Underworld causes me problems.
It's a terrible franchise. But then again it's Kate Beckensale looking all saucy in a black rubber, which being a bit of a perv, I do like .

What's wrong with Chronicle?
Reply to this
Hilarious review, I really hated this film, but I had a blast watching this, I screamed out"The hell when I saw it, I think everyone had my reaction since the theater seemed pretty quiet, anyways great review, would've love to have heard Jake talk about this crap though(I know it's cruel to want him to watch bad movies, but it's not my fault he's so hilarious when he talks about bad movies
Reply to this
I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking "Aren't we done with these yet? How many fake documentary movies do we need about exorcisms?" Glad this proved to be as pointless as I suspected
Reply to this
With the money this thing took in opening weekend, I wonder how long before a sequel is in the works?
Reply to this
Soon I'm sure considering this had a budget of 1 million, one site even joked that Tim Tebow should be a priest for the obvious soon to be confirmed sequel, which if that foes happen I'll be sold on watching it.
Reply to this
She was CLEARLY saying "Connecticut". It makes so much more sense once you know that information.
Reply to this
Gotta love Jerrid! Great video, guys!
Reply to this
I have to agree with the comments about the audience. I saw this movie just last night and when the screen appeared with "They were never found, yadda yadda The End", there was a long period of silence. I started slow clapping and within the first three seconds of people realizing what it was, everyone flew into laughter and commenting about how redonkulous it was.
People say "You win some, you lose some." In this case, I just lost 21$ to a shitty movie.
Reply to this
Still wanna see this.
Reply to this
To be quite honest, this review has got me interested in seeing this film. After I told a friend a bit about this review and the film, he's even interested in seeing it. We're into these (apparently) unintentionally comedic films, like "The Room". Coincidentally, the day I watched this review, one of my broadcasting and film college teachers was talking about issues with getting access for shooting documentaries.
