"It may not be sickly brilliant or twistedly clever, but it's just plain fun. Slither is a good old fashioned gooey, slimy monster movie with a sense of humor."

-- Fred Topel, ABOUT.COM

"So sue me, sometimes after a day of enjoying Belgian film-festival prizewinners, I like to relax with copious servings of horror-flick slime and a good visual joke involving squids, girls in bathtubs, and overhead cameras." -Entertainment Weekly (Lisa Schwarzbaum) Grade: B+

Wow, it's at 90% now at RT!

Do any of you guys know where I can buy the poster? I've got to pick this one up.

Nice to see this one getting mostly positive reviews across the board so far. :thumbsup:

$1 says that changes once the more "average" movie critics begin reviewing it through.

I was invited to a "late" (9pm) free screening tonight of the flick, but I'm opting to check out a live performance of Rent instead. I'll just go see Slither tomorrow morning.

Brent L 03-30-06 03:36 PM

I think Slither will settle in at around 75% or so.

even that is good for a movie of this caliber. and even if they weren't who cares? it looks just plain fun!

OldBoy 03-30-06 04:57 PM

what i don't like is that my multi-multi-plex only has 5 showings of this tomorrow. i mean this is a theater that showed "Hostel" on 2 screens and like 10-15 showings for each. this means it will be on one of their smaller stadium theaters, much like "Devil's Rejects". i hate those rooms.

Brent L 03-30-06 05:24 PM

Oh I don't care what the score at RT is, but I can't help but root for it to be as high as possible. :)

Yeah, if it lands at around 75% or so then that'll be fantastic for a movie like this.

Is it wrong that every time I see the following picture, I see a huge obese woman's naked breast with a big ol' hairy nipple and two crusty warts on the sides?

94% now with 17 reviews. Ebert gave it a :down: (2 out of 4), tho that hasn't been added in yet.

Brent L 03-30-06 07:38 PM

Make that 95% overall and 100% Cream of the Crop with 19 reviews counted so far.

:lol:

15 showings each theater per day? That's not possible, there aren't enough hours in a day.

Brent L 03-30-06 11:44 PM

At the Regal Hollywood 20 in Greenville, SC they are having 22 showings of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown every single day, with 13 other movies showing also. :lol:

I can't vouch for the site (never bought from there) but I found this:

You can get it for <$6 on Ebay.

Yes, but it's obviously playing on more than one screen, unless the movie was 45 minutes long.

I was wondering what scot meant of 15 showings on each screen.

Brent L 03-31-06 12:29 AM

Oh I know what you mean, but since I saw a mention of a flick with a lot of showings, I thought I'd mention that one. I mean, do you really need 22 showings of Ice Age 2 in a single day?

Really?

:)

Seantn 03-31-06 12:37 AM

No, you definitely don't!

Well, I can only speak for myself. I don't.

Brent L 03-31-06 12:39 AM

How does this one look to you guys?

you guys rely on rottentomatoes way to much. does other people's opinions you don't know have that much of an effect on whether you see a movie or not?

You are so right!!

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed Battlefield Earth, Gigli, Pluto Nash and Catwoman when I saw them in the theater!!

I think everyone here is going to see this movie anyway, but I also think looking at a consensus of critical opinion is valid. If the average critical grade was 7 (out of 100) and the movie was widely trashed as a turd, that might affect at least WHEN I see the film (skip the first run and maybe catch it on video). But since it's getting high average marks, I'm even more excited to see it as soon as possible.
