This isn't going to turn into an internet fight. There's been no personal attacks, and there's not going to be any. It's just two people having respectful disagreements.

I can't believe it, I just reviewed Burt Wonderstone. Of course I watched The Sopranos and he was great in that as well.

Bad news, everyone. The Sopranos James Gandolfini passed away. This really shocked me; I saw Burt Wonderstone, and he looked perfectly fine in that.

RIP Gandolfini.]]> Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:27:18 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55038#55038 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55037#55037 Author: moviecritic1994

Internet fights are beyond me, I don't partake in them at all. (well... except if it's with a Twi-Hard) ]]> Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:20:23 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55037#55037 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55036#55036 Author: oiram

I have to say, I think Sandra Bullock is a massively overrated actress. The only films of hers that I like are Speed and, to an extent, Demolition Man. The films of hers I hate the most are Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close, Speed 2, All About Steve, Crash, Hope Floats, and that awful remake of The Vanishing.]]> Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:19:45 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55035#55035 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55034#55034 Author: moviecritic1994

I mostly like actors and actresses that can play more than one type of role. Like Sandra Bullock can play practically any role. Even in "All About Steve", she did the best she could with a character that was very one dimensional. If you would like to compare and contrast her roles. First watch "The Proposal" where she plays a bitchy woman running a Publishing company. Then watch her Oscar winning work in "The Blind Side" where she plays a completely different woman who is strong and compassionate in an inspiring way. ]]> Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:46:07 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55034#55034 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55033#55033 Author: Vits

There you go, Moviecritic. You and Grounder can review the SCREAM saga (or wait until the TV show comes out) and/or Brad Pitt movies you hate.

Originally posted by moviecritic1994 The thing with World War Z is that I felt like this concept of Zombies taking over or destroying the world has been done to death. Not Just in films but TV Shows and books as well.

You're right. If zombie fiction is still successful today is because of parodies (SHAUN OF THE DEAD; JUAN OF THE DEAD) and new perspectives (THE WALKING DEAD; WARM BODIES).

Originally posted by moviecritic1994 On the matter of Brad Pitt, I don't think he's a bad actor. I just think he's a little...type cast. He always plays the lead guy who pretty much should be called "Prince Charming 2.0". I don't hate him, but he can be annoying at times.

Well, he is a movie star prototype. Just like George Clooney and Tom Cruise, studios want them to play a specific heroic character. Same with women. What really matters is that an actor knows when to do that and when to challenge himself.

Originally posted by SchumacherH8ter I haven't seen Happy Feet Two, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't play a Prince Charming type in that.

He and Matt Damon played annoying shrimps. Some people think they were a gay couple. I don't know about that.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is more like the "Okay" Burt Wonderstone. To start with, the Critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes is pretty dead on. Yeah the film can be funny, but at other times it's rather predictable and you know what's going to happen about 40 minutes in. I had high hopes for this film, but I wasn't impressed. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either.

Let's start with the story. The Concept for this film is actually solid and does hold a good message. Burt and his friend Anton are celebrity magicians that perform in Vegas. After 10 years of performing the same show, Burt has become rather full of himself and obsessed with Fame. But a new Magician shows up and starts to upstage both Burt and Anton. When he's close to losing everything, including his career and best friend, Burt must find the passion and wonder that made him want to be a real magician. The overall message is this film is rather simple but effective and real. Don't lose passion on the thing you love and want to be. So, I thought the story and message of the film was pretty good.

As for the characters... that's where the film loses me. The title character played by Steve Carell seemed a little too full of himself and vain. Like even when his character started to grow from his mistakes I still had issues with him because of how he was acting throughout half of the movie. I guess the issues I had with the character are the same issues I had with Sandra Bullock's character in "All About Steve".. I had no idea if I was supposed to root for Burt Wonderstone or not.

The supporting characters were overall okay. Steve Buscemi and Olivia Wilde were okay in their roles but nothing special. Jim Carrey was fantastic in his role as Steve Gray. His character is mainly making fun of modern Magicians of today. I saw a lot of Criss Angel in Steve Gray mostly. But the one liners and wild antics he does is so funny and enjoyable. Any time he was on screen I just was grinning and any time he opened his mouth to say something I started laughing. I was highly impressed with Jim Carrey and he made this film very enjoyable.

Now I won't give away the ending for you. However, I must say the last 25 minutes or so of this film are not really wonderful either. The "romance" (if you can even call that) between Burt and Jane (Wilde) seems to be really forced and not really believable. To me, the Screen Writer probably threw in the romance between the two characters at the last minute. Also, the ending in itself is way too predictable that it seems a little too easy. There are no real or big obstacles for our Protagonists. Well there is one, but it's forgotten surprisingly quickly. So to close this, I will say this film was "okay". But it's definitely flawed in really big ways. Should you see it? Sure, if you want to. But I'll just say this film is one I wouldn't watch again. ]]> Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:36:35 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5501&PID=55032#55032 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6066&PID=55031#55031 Author: SchumacherH8ter

Really? Of Pitt's last ten movies (excluding World War Z because it hasn't been released in America yet) the only one where he played "Prince Charming 2.0" was Moneyball (maybe). Granted, I haven't seen Happy Feet Two, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't play a Prince Charming type in that.
