Why are people refuting other peoples' opinions?? Come on...

Anyway, it has been a while since I've posted on here and I can't even remember all the movies I've seen since my last post so I won't even try. Here are 3 that stood out to me...

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - 3/10
I really wanted to like this... and there were parts of it I enjoyed, but there were far too many other parts that had me rolling my eyes or going "what the fuck?" The acting was acceptable, though not stellar. The visual effects were pretty good and not too over-the-top... but whoever's vision they used for this movie was trying waaaaaaay too hard. I loved the first POTC because it stands alone and tells a great story. The 2nd and 3rd were approached with the idea, it seemed, that "we have to make these huge blockbusters... lets get out our trusty formula and apply it to pirates so we can make millions."

Apocalypto - 9/10
I wasn't sure what to expect from ol' Mel in this movie... but I was pleasantly surprised. It was quite violent, which I am fairly indifferent towards. I think what I enjoyed the most was how it told a good story without very much dialogue. The scenery and cinematography were spectacular, as well.

Pan's Labyrinth - 9/10
I don't really want to say a whole lot about it, b/c it's almost better to just slip it in the DVD player and get sucked into the story without knowing what to expect. I definitely recommend it, though.
