The Abyss (Special Edition)
8.5/10
Sometimes I need a reminder that James Cameron doesn't suck ass (see: True Lies, Titanic, Solaris), and since onodrim and I hadn't seen The Abyss yet, tonight we did
Very good movie, although there were a few moments - especially during expressions of love - that I saw weakness in James Cameron's writing, but it was nothing compared to some of the other crap he's done
AND, it was made up for by the fact the rest of the movie was great. The ending managed to pull off a message while not feeling forced or preachy, which was very nice.
EDIT:
Just realized I forgot to put in...
Army of Darkness
7/10
GREAT, funny movie with Bruce Campbell that everyone should see. Don't think my rating of 7/10 is a bad thing - I just naturally give more serious movies higher ratings. This isn't your ordinary comedy though - in fact, categorizing it is pretty difficult. It's a tongue-in-cheek horror movie, and it is absolutely hilarious. Everything about it is great yet terrible all at once, and Bruce Campbell is in top form.
