Author Topic: Haunted Mansion Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-25-2003 10:29 PM                        What is it with Disney anymore? Must they put profanity in ALL their films? I must have been on a roll tonight... first this, then Bad Santa. Watch them and you'll see why it's no wonder I'm in a foul mood. 4 more hours of my life wasted on that *could* have been decent. Eddie Murphy should throw in the towel. All the funny faces and close ups of him with his huge mouth get old, and fast. While this wasn't quite as bad as Cat in the Hat, it was sure close. And I still can't imagine why they feel the need to throw in the occasional "hell & damn" in the film... This is more of a TV movie, IMO. YMMV.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-26-2003 05:49 AM                     Anyone find the conversation between Eddie Murphy and his son a bit perverted in reel 1? I mean really, how could you miss it??? They could have easily changed the wording up to be completely innocent...but noooooooo, Disney just HAD to turn it into something perverted. (Oddly enough, this was the funniest part of the movie.) I don't think I hated this movie as much as Jason did, but I do agree this one isn't all that great. At least I wasn't looking around the empty auditorium for a suicide weapon unlike most other films this year.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Country Bears, Pirates, Haunted Mansion.... What's next?  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 11-26-2003 08:30 AM                     Their first mistake was Eddie Murphy and I am sure he had a hand in the script. Maybe they should have gotten Orlando Jones instead.  |  IP: Logged Chris Markiewicz Expert Film Handler Posts: 209 From: Glenaviegh, County Tipperary, Ireland Registered: Aug 2002 posted 11-27-2003 02:54 PM                     Terence Stamp as the butler was the highlight of this, although he was reminiscent of Alec Guinness in "Murder By Death". At least the print looked good.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 12-08-2003 11:43 PM                     I love checking on this film as I run it, I time it so I can see the BEAUTIFUL Sara, and the Singing Busts. I truly think that was the funniest part of this movie.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-15-2004 10:46 AM                        Attendance: 2004/01/13 19:05, Regal Madison Square 12, Huntsville, AL, Auditorium 9 This had funny moments, but I don't feel it's a movie that many people will think much about later, since there's really nothing really memorable about it. It was a pretty cheesy movie and I wasn't too impressed with it.  |  IP: Logged
