Now in this thread users can choose what ever kind of movie they would like to do a review on. Similar to the Game Review forum. The layout is similar to the same one Dimebag tells everyone to use here.

Synopsis (Fandango)
A low-level pot dealer poses as a family man in order to pay back a debt to his supplier in this comedy starring Saturday Night Live alumni Jason Sudeikis. If you're a soccer mom in search of some reefer, David Burke (Sudeikis) is just the man to talk to. He certainly isn't the biggest dealer in town, but he's discreet, and aims to please. When David attempts to perform a good deed and gets robbed in the process, however, his supplier Brad (Ed Helms) is none too happy. Now, in order to pay Brad back before the hammer drops, David must retrieve a big drug shipment from Mexico and sneak back across the border undetected. It's a risky job for sure, but with the help of a few neighbors David might just pull it off. With sardonic stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston) assuming the role of housewife, teenage misfit Kenny (Will Poulter) posing as the awkward son, and rebellious Casey (Emma Roberts) filling in as his sister, David slips on some khakis, and starts heading south. Meanwhile, as David tries to convince himself that the border patrol wouldn't give a second glance at such a typical suburban family, the shipment -- and the stakes -- both prove greater than anticipated.
Story Line
After David Clark gets robbed out of high stash of cannabis and about $40,000 in drug money, his boss forces him to take a trip to Mexico to pick up a load of what he thinks is just a "smidge" of cannabis. The best way to make it past border portal is to hire a stripper and two kids that are usually around the building he lives in. Finally once they get going in the RV they were instructed to smuggle the drugs out of the country with, a hose breaks while going up a steep incline, forcing them to seek help from the Fitzgeralds, a socially awkward and very hyper family. Whilst getting towed to the local auto repair shop, Rose, the drug smugglers fake wife, accidentally opens the glove compartment to find a gun and a DEA badge. Now learning that they are receiving help to complete their drug smuggling mission by a DEA agent.
The next day when they are finally going to pick up their RV that is full of two metric tons of cannabis, they find Pablo Chacon, a drug kingpin there with his goons. They learn quickly that he was setup by his boss to steal Pablo Chacon's drugs. Pablo Chacon gives them a chance to say any last words before he kills them and Casey, David Clark's fake daughter, pleads with Pablo saying that they aren't even a real family and that Rose is just a stripper. Pablo asks Rose to prove she is a stripper and when she finally gets close enough to Pablo she blasts a hot steam vent into his face which lets the Millers get out virtually unharmed but Kenny is behind the wheel. Since Kenny couldn't gain control of the RV it crashed into a ditch where a poisonous spider crawls out from the fruit bowl the mother of one of Pablo's goons gave him and bits Kenny in his junk which ended up having a very severe allergic reaction. Kenny gets taken to the hospital while David gets fed up with Rose and Casey and leaves them at a carnival.
After just minutes of being on the road alone, David starts to miss his fake family and turns around to get them. Once he gets out of the RV to go and find his fake family and when he returns Pablo Chacon's goon is pointing a gun at their faces and out of no where Don Fitzgerald jumps out of his RV and wacks the good in the head with a coffee mug and arrests him. Pablo then comes up from behind Don with Don's daughter and a gun in his hand, David works up the courage to hit the gun out of Chacon's hand and when Rose went to pick up the gun, she accidentally shoots Pablo in the shoulder. Except when Pablo is trying to get back up Kenny punches him in the face to knock him out cold. Once they finally arrived back in Colorado, David went to deliver the drugs to Gurdlinger, which ends up saying that they missed their deadline and he wasn't going to pay him a penny for what he had to go through. Little to Gurdlinger's knowledge, David figured he wasn't going to get paid and had the DEA swarm his house after denying him pay. To end the movie the Miller family is put into witness protection while the Gurdlinger trial is to go on, leaving them all in one house as a happy family.

This is the funniest movie I have seen since Step Brothers. If you're looking for a good laugh, this would be the movie to watch. There is a lot of swearing, so I would be cautious as to how loud you're going to play the volume. Other than that, it is a fantastic movie and I plan on watching it again.

Story Line
A freak hurricane hits Los Angeles causing man-eating sharks to be scooped up in water spouts and flooding the city with shark-infested seawater. Surfer and bar-owner Fin (Ziering) sets out with his friends Baz (Jaason Simmons) and Nova (Scerbo) to rescue his estranged wife April (Reid) and teenage daughter Claudia (Aubrey Peeples). He succeeds but April's boyfriend is eaten by the sharks. The group meets up with Matt (Chuck Hittinger), the adult son of Fin and April, who is in flying school. They decide to try to stop the threat of the incoming "sharknadoes" by tossing bombs into them from a helicopter.
As Nova prepares to throw one of the bombs, she falls out of the helicopter and directly into a shark's mouth. Matt is heartbroken. Baz is also lost in the storm. After Matt lands on the ground, a flying shark plummets toward the remaining members of the group. Fin jumps into its mouth with a chainsaw and cuts his way out. He emerges carrying an unconscious but miraculously unharmed Nova. Matt is reunited with Nova and Fin gets back together with April.

I think there's no need to request a movie forum. This thread is very well structured, and provides a very simple and clean way for other users to scroll through the different reviews about the movie. I support this Idea 100% percent, and really hope that it becomes a sticky.
Good luck & Thanks for the thread.

Story Line
The movie starts with Pat Solitano standing in a room talking about a woman named Nikki. In the next scene, Pat is released from a mental hospital in Philadelphia and moves back home with his parents. He spends his days working out and reading Nikki's high school syllabus. Nikki is Pat's ex-wife who used to teach at a local Philadelphia high school with Pat. She put out a restraining order against him and left him while he was in the mental hospital, though Pat believes that she still loves him and they will be together once he gets in better shape and fixes his personality.
Pat was put in the mental hospital because he caught Nikki cheating on him with a history teacher from his school whom he proceeded to beat half to death. Pat was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and depression.
A few days after he is out of the hospital, Pat is introduced, by his friend Ronnie, to a woman named Tiffany at a dinner party. She also suffers from depression and becomes somewhat of a slut after her husband is hit by a car and killed. The two then become friends and have each other to find stability in their somewhat unstable worlds. Pat, with the delusion that he will be reunited with Nikki, gives Tiffany a letter to deliver to Nikki, on account that she has a restraining order against him, and in return, he will compete in a dance competition with Tiffany.
Along the way the two fall in love with each other and in the end the wind up together.

Going into this movie, I assumed it would be another sappy, stupid romantic comedy. I'm not much a rom-com guy anyways and figured I would hate it. To this day it remains one of my favorite movies of all time. The two odd characters are played brilliantly by both Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. They make these two depressed, bipolar characters seem real and almost undeniable perfect for each other. Plus, who doesn't love Jennifer Lawrence. I would recommend this to everyone and it's certainly not a bad movie for date night ;)

Happy hits the ball over 400 yards and breaks a window of a house. Then the men ask him do it again for $20. He does it and hits a man in the head. Then they offer him double or nothing and he does and this time hits woman in the head and she falls off a roof. That is when he notices his ability to drive a golf ball. Happy then brings his grandma to the nursing home where she will live.
The next day Happy goes to the driving range to hustle people and earn some money. He outdrives everyone there. A former club pro with a fake hand, Chubbs Peterson (Carl Weathers) introduces himself near the batting cages and tells him to enter the Waterbury Open. Happy refuses but Chubbs tells him he can make money. Happy thinks of grandma so he decides to enter the Waterbury Open.
The day of the Waterbury Open, Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) is introduced to everyone there. He is the top pro golfer and the money leader. The winner of the Waterbury Open gets to join the Pro Tour. Happy Gilmore wins the Waterbury Open. Chubbs offers Happy six months of training to get better at putting but he refuses. Happy needs the money within a certain amount of time and can't afford to miss the oppurtunity to win money on the tour. Happy meets Virginia (Julie Bowen) who is a journalist for the tour. Happy Gilmore attends a tour party and is told by Shooter to meet him at the 9th green at nine. Happy goes and the sprinklers go off so now he wants to beat up Shooter. Happy goes to visit grandma at the nursing home and she pretends to like it there even though she hates it. The orderly (Ben Stiller) threatens her and says if she tells Happy that they abuse people then she will be killed.
The AT&T Open is the first event of the tour and Happy Gilmore doesn't do very well. Happy Gilmore and Virginia go on a date to ice skate and she kisses Happy. Later in the tour Happy is paired with Bob Barker in a tournament. Bob Barker is mad at Happy for doing bad in the tournament because a man is annoying Happy. Happy gets in a fistfight with Bob and loses. Chubbs takes Happy to a miniature golf course to play a game. Happy does good so Chubbs gives him a putter that looks like a hockey stick as a gift. Happy tells Chubbs that he has a gift for him and opens up a wooden box. The box contains the alligator that bit of Chubbs hand. Chubbs is so frightened, he accidentally falls out of the window and dies.
Shooter McGavin buys the house at the auction and says he will piss on the ashes after he burns it down. Happy is threatened so he must now win the tour. The final event of the year is the Tour Championship which can get Happy enough money to get his grandma' house back. Shooter is intimidated by Happy so he hires people to distract Happy Gilmore during the championship. The match is close the whole way. A crazy fan, ordered by Shooter, runs Happy over with a car, but Happy is still okay. After the crazy man, ran over Happy, he drives into a tower which falls onto the green blocking Happy's chance for a birdie to win the tour. The judges say that he must play it as it is. Happy remembers the amazing putt he made at the miniature golf course and it is similar here. Happy hits the ball of the car and it goes through pipes and amazingly lands in the hole. Happy wins the tour championship and gets the gold jacket. Shooter steals the jacket and runs away with it but Mr. Larsen catches him and beats him up.
Happy, Virginia, Grandma and the homeless man who was Happy's caddy all go back to grandma's house.
Happy Gilmore has hockey tryouts and doesn't make the team so he gets in a fist fight with the coach of the team. When Happy gets home, his girlfriend leaves him because she says he is a loser. The next morning Happy goes to his Grandma's house because the IRS is going to take her home and everything in it. Happy is angry so he throws the IRS agent (Robert Smigel) through the front door. He is told to get the house back, they need to come up with $270,000. Happy wants to watch the hockey game at his grandma's house so he goes outside to tell the moving guys to get back to work. The 2 guys try out golf clubs and then challenge Happy to see if he can outdrive one of them. If he does then they will get back to work. Happy hits the ball over 400 yards and breaks a window of a house. Then the men ask him do it again for $20. He does it and hits a man in the head.

Synopsis
Desperate to help her ailing brother, a young woman unknowingly agrees to compete in a deadly game of "Would You Rather," hosted by a sadistic aristocrat.
Story Line
Iris, the main character, has a brother that is sick with some kind of bone cancer. Iris is looking after her brother and will do anything for him. Anyhow, she got a call from the doctor saying that she needs to come in, as he has something very important to tell her. When she arrives at the doctors office, she is introduced to Shepard. He is a very wealthy man who offers to help iris out with funding for her brothers cancer, but there was a catch. He had invited her to a dinner party with all of the other participants for the money prize, and they will play a game to see who the winner of the money funding is. She agrees to go to the dinner party, not knowing what she has gotten herself into.
She arrives at the party at a very nice house, and everything seems okay. She meets all of the other contestants, and they all seem very nice. They are invited into the dining room, where they are served with a meal. After they are finished the meal, Shepard says "Is everybody ready to play the game?" "If you do not want to play, now is your last chance to leave." Nobody left. "Great, looks like we have a full house" he says. He then goes on to explain the game.
The game that they play is Would you Rather. He says that we play it a bit differently though. Everything that you are asked, you must complete one or the other.
In the first round, strong electric tazers are placed on the head of the two people (Who switch after every turn) One of the people with the tazer on is asked the question. "Would you rather Zap yourself, or the person next to you?" They must choose between one. This goes around the whole table.
Each round increases in intensity and Dangerousness. About half way through, one person tries to leave and is shot by the guard. This is when they realize that nobody but the winner is getting out alive.
The game goes on for a while, and the intensity of the would you rather questions increases drasticly.
In the end, Iris wins the game by shooting the other opponent, and is given a lot of money to help her brother. She gets home to realize that while she was gone, her brother had committed suicide, so all of the stuff that she had just done was for nothing.

In late 2013, Randy Couture confirmed that, although The Expendables 3 had not yet been released, there were already plans for a fourth installment.

Synopsis
In THE EXPENDABLES 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables most personal battle yet.

I have literally just sat down and watched this movie and finished it just 30 minutes or so ago. This is the best of the three in series and this movie makes you feel as if the team is getting old, but is still very capable of kicking some butt. Now, before everyone freaks out about the movie not even being out yet, I got to see the movie from a DVD Rip that my friend let me borrow, and I also have NOT put any information in this that hurts the story. So, no spoilers
