Zombieland: Not bad. The son wanted to see it and I was happily surprised by the movie. It was decently paced, it had Bill "Fucking" Murray in a bit role and some relatively good humor. I enjoyed it as escapist entertainment that allowed me to watch and not have to overthink or think at all for that matter.... 8.5/10

Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans: It was Nicolas Cage being Nicolas cage. He sold the role well, played a very good drugged out police officer and Eva Mendes was very easy on the eyes. 2 problems with this movie though: the director had to add some freaking iguana/croc to the movie that made no sense (I'm assuming there was some "hidden" meaning to it, I could live with the "his soul is dancing bit... but iguanas and a croc????) and Val Kilmer's role was too small (I'm a Val Kilmer fan and found the interactions Cage and he had were very good but not enough of them, on the other hand where exactly in the movie would Val have fit in?) I truly liked the movie but the whole iguana/croc thing really lowers the score. 7/10

Gabriel: It was a new take and quite well acted and written. The pacing was excellent, this director know how to move the movie in a very appetizing way. I found the acting surprisingly good for an action film. By far the best of the 3 rated in this post. If you are religious, I think you will truly be inspired. If you aren't but can take the movie for what it is (and it in NO way pushes any religion) you should enjoy it just as much. I cannot say enough about this movie without giving any of it away and if I did that would be a crime. Just go see it and thank me later. 9.5/10

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
