Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
BartSamson I love Joe Dante, I'm in love with Alexandra Daddario, and I liked Anton Yelchin in pretty much everything he did... But... What the hell is this movie?A script that goes nowhere, not the glimmer of a surprise in the story progression, no character development to speak of. Lots of stuff hinted at, but nothing getting fleshed-out... What's worse is Dante's direction... It looked like a TV movie for crying out loud! The "Mickey Mousing" music got on my nerve in the first five minutes... Poor Dick Miller had to get off the crapper to do his usual cameo in this crapper of a movie...Joe! What the hell, man? I was hoping for something of the same caliber of "Drag me to Hell", but I guess your style was never as broad as Raimi's... Your strength has always been nostalgia driven, and here it got lost in this bad script...I'll go watch "Gremlins" and "Matinee" a couple of time to wash the after taste of this dud.
Eddie Cantillo Burying The Ex(2014) Starring: Anton Yelchin, Ashley Greene, Alexandra Daddario, Oliver Cooper, Dick Miller, Mark Alan, Ozioma Akagha, Gabrielle Christian, Archie Hahn, Erica Bowie, Tomoko Karina, Stephanie Koenig, Wyndoline Landry, Julia Marchese, London May, Katie Roberts, Mindy Robinson, Pandie Suicide, and Alexandra Vino Directed By: Joe Dante Review SOME RELATIONSHIPS JUST WON'T DIE. Hello Kiddies your pal The Crypt-Critic, we can all agree that it's hard to breakup with someone. Even I know that and I've never even had a girlfriend. So apparently the best thing to do especially if you find someone better is kill your ex. But make sure she stays dead. The Film is about Max who who finally has his girlfriend Evelyn move in with him.But when Evelyn turns out to be a controlling, manipulative nightmare, Max knows it's time to call it quits. There's just one problem: he's terrified of breaking up with her. Fate steps in when Evelyn is the victim of a fatal, freak accident, leaving Max single and ready to mingle. Just as Max is thinking about moving on with what could be his dream girl, Olivia – Evelyn has returned from the grave and is determined to get her boyfriend back...even if that means transforming him into one of the undead. The movie is a low budget horror comedy which means it's more for laughs than anything else. In that regard it succeeds I actually thought it was funny in some parts which made the film a lot more fun to watch without seeing zombies getting slaughtered. But that's the films lost point, there weren't that many funny scenes in the first half and not much zombie slaughtering so it's not that great. In achieving it's goal but if it's made to be funny well it's a little funny, you might enjoy it a lot more than I did. The acting is pretty good from our four main leads and the supporting cast weren't awful but they weren't that good either. Anton Yelchin, Oliver Cooper and Alexandra Daddario are the standouts they seemed they had the most fun when making the film. The direction is pretty good, Joe Dante put out a great opening sequence and cutaways. Burying The Ex is a mildly entertaining horror comedy, it has good acting with three great standouts the plot is genius for a horror comedy and while the effects and makeup are poor but the direction by Joe Dante bring it back to square goodness. Three brains out of five.
Chappy Watched It's hard to enjoy a film when everyone in it is so bloody annoying!I originally watched this for Anton Yelchin but he wasn't entertaining enough to hold my attention, especially when his character was part of what made movie crap for me.Max (Yelchin) needed to grow a pair and every predicament throughout the movie, it all happened because he wasn't honest.The character of Travis (Oliver Cooper), who happens to be the half brother of Max, was rude, inconsiderate and just a plain dickhead!It just seemed to me that they gave each character one-personality trait and turned it up by 1000.CHAPPY THINKS all copies of this film should be buried alongside the Ex!
utgard14 Wuss (Anton Yelchin) works up the courage to break up with his girlfriend (Ashley Greene) but, before he can go through with it, she's hit by a bus and killed. Just as he is about to start a new relationship with another hottie (Alexandra Daddario), the dead girlfriend returns as a zombie.I had a hard time liking Anton Yelchin's character. He's this wimpy hipster unmotivated guy that I doubt I could stand for five minutes in real life. Surprisingly, there's no mention of his smoking weed as there usually is with characters like this. You're slacking on your clichés, Joe Dante. He also doesn't contribute much in the humor department. That's left on Ashley Greene's shoulders. Oliver Cooper plays Yelchin's half-brother, which is itself supposed to be a joke of some kind. It's repeated throughout the movie despite never being funny. Some people have half-siblings. I don't get what's funny about that. Outside of that 'joke,' he's pretty much the Jonah Hill character. You know, the fat gross guy who is inexplicably attractive to women and whose material is something that was envelope-pushing decades ago but now seems trite. Consider yourself warned he is naked in this so don't eat while watching. As for Ashley Greene, she owns this thing. She delivers all of the movie's laughs and things just seem less interesting when she's off-screen. Sexy Alexandra Daddario is given little to work with but does fine.I'm glad to see Joe Dante is still around and hasn't completely lost it. I mean, this is nowhere near the stuff he made in his prime, but it's better than anything John Landis has made lately. It's got a lot of the expected Dante touches (perhaps too many), such as old horror movies constantly playing in the background, a moving truck with the name Romero on it, and an amusing guest appearance from Dick Miller. It almost feels like Dante is homaging himself at this point. Aside from these touches, there really is nothing about this that stands out from a thousand other directors with less status. The movie looks as though it could have been made for television, honestly. It's a watchable horror comedy, funny in parts and gross in others. Worth a look but don't expect much.
