I haven't seen Pineapple Express yet.. but Harold and Kumar go to White Castle is one of my favorite comedies ever! No way is Pineapple Express way better.

[SuperMcGee]

That's what a bunch of people told me, but when I saw it I just did not care for it. At all. But whatever makes you laugh, I guess.

[Bosanac01]

I'll probly see it tonight, hopefully you dont need to get h^^h to find it funny.

I saw it last night and I was completely baked...



the opening scene might be the funniest scene I've seen in a movie, while stoned of course. If I weren't,then it probably wouldn't have been that great.

Also, after seeing the movie, I feel that you do have to be high in order to find it funny. It was good don't get me wrong, but it would have been less satisfying sober.

[smittyjs]

I just watch the 25th hour a few days ago, and edward norton gave a great performance in the movie, great movie IMO

[smittyjs]

Also seen step brothers a few days ago, and it had to be the stupiest movie i have seen in awhile, at best i would give it a 6 out of 10.

[themaninblack]

Saw Pineapple Express earlier and it was pretty darn funny. I was sober and still really enjoyed it. James Franco is great in this movie.

[familyguy555]

Anyone else notice how in the mummy trailer it says #1 movie in the world.

lol

I think it helps to at least know what being high is like to find it really funny.

If you don't, then the movie isn't that funny I guess.

[smittyjs]

Pineapple Express was damn funny, and i wasn't stoned

[d34ng3l021]

Pineapple Express was really funny, and I was stoned.

[awfullyquiet]

i get the feeling to appreciate pineapple express you have to have the attention span of someone baked.

Someone must have deleted every copy of TDK.

But they all do it. Tyler Perry's House of Payne is apparently the #1 sitcom of all time.

Recently I have watched in theatres Step Brothers and Pineapple Express and for free Son of Rambow and You Don't Mess with the Zohan.

I will start with a mini review of Zohan. It is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. 1/10

Son of Rambow had was horrendous for the first 30 minutes but became pretty enjoyable after that. It is a very different movie than what I thought it would be. 6/10

Going into Express I had very high expectations and I could not help but feel a little let down when I left. Sure I laughed quite a bit but I was expecting it to be the second funniest movie of the year after Zack and Miri Make a Porno and IMO it was simple a slightly above average comedy. There were some excellent performances and some very funny parts but I just don't think it lived up to its potential. Maybe it was the audience of almost all 15 year olds that I watched it with that made the movie worse, I don't know. 6.5/10

As for Step Brothers I went into it expecting very little and I was very pleasantly surprised. I laughed consistently throughout the whole movie. Is it a cinema classic? Hell no. That said I thought it was damn funny. 7.5/10

[Hines]

Zohan was the gayest movie I have ever seen. Luckily I got a discount on that, because it would have been 10 bucks wasted.

Oh and the first Harold and Kumar is funnier then the second one.

[KCJ58]

I liked both Step Brothers & Pineapple Express equally they were both great comedies in there own right now I have to watch Tropic Thunder, that movie looks good too

[RoyHall#1]

Yeah, can't wait for Tropic Thunder.

For those fans of Quentin Tarantino and have heard about his upcoming project Inglorious Bastards here is the script. Apparently it's in pre-production and Brad Pitt has been rumored to be one of the main characters. I didn't read the whole thing but I am super excited to see what Tarantino can do with a WW2 film. He apparently has been writing it for a decade.

Yes. I heard/read about this somewhere and I'm pretty excited to see it.

Pineapple Express was amazing. I don't think you have to be high for it to be more comical, you have just had to have smoked at some point of your life. They really nailed the little things that happen when you and your friends are baked. It will take the movie to another level if you can catch onto this things. Also best line

"Whats down there, a Rancor?"

[49ersfan_87]

I recently saw The Dark Knight and The Mummy 3..

-The Dark Knight is great. I think it's a little overrated, but it was still very good. I loved the action, thought it was incredible. I wish The Joker and Two-Face had a little more screen time, but whatever. I still have the urge to watch it again though. Easily the best of 2008, maybe the best movie of the whole decade.

-The Mummy 3 is trash. It's so damn boring. I started day-dreaming about The Dark Knight halfway through it. It tries too hard but to be funny and it had only one funny line (i believe it was jonathan saying die mummies die..just the way he said it). The action sucked, the drama sucked, the acting sucked, the comedy sucked, the special effects sucked..dont watch this movie. I never walk out on movies and i would have demanded a refund 20 minutes in if i wasnt with a whole group of friends.

Even though I was baked, some of the parts felt dry and prolonged. I felt as if it could have had so much potential. Even though I found it to be downright hilarious, I think there was alot lost in some of the stupid conversations that were had.

[Turtlepower]

New Punisher: War Zone trailer. Warning, there is some intense violence in this trailer.

So, when I watched the first trailer I thought the movie was going to be lame. Now, it looks ****ing amazing.

Don't know if anyone really cares but Bernie Mac is dead.
