I know, I know. A guy I used to bow hunt with got in my truck one day and said "dude, you know you're listening to Disney, right?" I wimped and said "daughter." I should have just said "it's catchy I like it." Funny thing was a couple miles down the road I saw his finger bouncing to "Prince Ali! Fabulous he!
Ali Ababwa!"

hahahaha...awesome!

The Maltese Falcon

Summary (from imdb) Sam Spade is a partner in a private-eye firm who finds himself hounded by police when his partner is killed whilst tailing a man. The girl who asked him to follow the man turns out not to be who she says she is, and is really involved in something to do with the 'Maltese Falcon', a gold-encrusted life-sized statue of a falcon, the only one of its kind.

Comment: I found the story hard to follow, but it could be the old school dialogue from a film made in the 1940’s. The over the top acting and funny characters made this movie enjoyable at times, so if you are a fan of films from the 40’s or like Humphrey Bogart then I would recommend this film.

Rating: 7/10


Soylent Green

Summary (From imdb): A tale of Earth in despair in 2022. Natural food like fruits, vegetables, and meat among others are now extinct. Earth is overpopulated and New York City has 40 million starving, poverty stricken people. The only way they survive is with water rations and eating a mysterious food called Soylent. A detective investigates the murder of the president of the Soylent company. The truth he uncovers is more disturbing than the Earth in turmoil when he learns the secret ingredient of Soylent Green

Comments: For a story placed in 2022, it certainly looks like everyone is still dressed in the 70's. I want my 97 minutes back because the story, acting and dialogue were sub par.

Rating: 6/10

Wanted - 9.5/10
The only reason I didn't give this a 10 is because I felt some trepidation in accepting the story as it unfolded at first. However, as it got rolling, I was HOOKED. Hot damn, did I enjoy this movie!

Vantage Point 2/5

Not a bad action movie, but the multiple replays from different points of view starting off the story didn't really add anything to the storytelling, in my opinion. They could have just showed it in a more traditional way and it would have made for a 'punchier' movie. Good car chase scenes, though.

Dark Knight. All I can say is... This one goes to 11.

I have that song stuck in my head now, Tully!

I think it hit 15 half way through the movie, and then it got even better.

For me, The Maltese Falcon is all about - Peter Lorre, man. I love him in that film. This is one of my all-time favorites. So much better than Casablanca which everyone is so enamored of.

Don't get me wrong, I do like Casablanca, I just don't get the significance in comparison to so many other Bogart films that I think were superior.

The Dark Knight - 10/10 - Best movie of the summer by far. Dark and twisted. Heath playing joker was spot on.

The Dark Knight 10/10

This marks the first time I ever give a movie a perfect 10 because it is THAT good. I see some people complaining about the movie being too long. I say give me more dammit!!! The Joker...wow....I cried inside. Tears of joy.

Wall-E
8/10
Cute movie. Very fun stuff for the family with a nice message about the environment and laziness ==> fat, hahahah.

Sydney Greenstreet is fun, too.

I agree that Casablanca is overrated.

Balls of Fury 5/10, good enough to watch, wasn't really my kinda humor though, girl goes from flipping the main guy shit to sucking on his tongue with zero buildup, like wtf, I had a hard taime caring about their relationship, or believing he cared about her, but yeah, she's hot, hot.

Harold & Kumar 1 and 2 3/10
I'm not really a big fan of stoner movies so, whatever, 3/10. Entertaining I suppose, and it gets 3 points for the T&A, nothing else.

Doomsday 1/10
Rhona Mitra = hawt, but thats not enough to save this movie, it was garbage. garbage. I could care less about any of the characters in this movie.


Wanted 10/10
This is destined to cult classic status due to the breeding of the wit from Office Space, and the dystopian lost identity crisis of Fight Club, with the pure hawtness of Angelina Jolie's buttocks. Aside action scenes and gunfights that have you going "now that was pretty cool" Def will get this one on DVD when I can.

The Forbidden Kingdom 7/10
Good movie, I always like watching Jet Li and Jackie Chan kick some ass. The main thug kid in the beginning of the movie had me reminiscing about the "Karate Kid" days. I was so glad how they dealt with him ;p

Vantage Point 4/10
it's "OK" but as was said prior, it felt like they had severe budget limitations so they just shot one scene with 50 different camera angles and then replayed them in different order to 'reveal' different things. Seriously some of the stuff that the main agent guy 'caught' seemed a little surreal, like "wow I didn't see that" so it felt like a bit of a stretch when he caught the double agent guy.

this is how i spent my weekend pretty much :p

Premonition - 4/5

Not the biggest Sandra Bullock Fan, but it kept me entertained and was kinda creative. Some things didn't line up though

License to Wed - 1/5
I am dumber now. It also had this spinning camera scene on the beach near the end that was one of the worst things I have ever seen.

Being Julia - 9/10

Wonderful, tender and funny. Annette Bening gives an outstanding performance and I didn't even mind Jeremy Irons in this one. Absolutely loved it!

Mamma Mia - 8/10

Pure Disneyesque joy. If you can handle the concept of people breaking into song, and like Meryl Streep (who knew she could actually sing???) and Pierce Brosnan (who really can't sing) or the pretty young blonde, you can't lose. Oh and it helps if you did some disco dancing back in the day.

Into The Wild

I downloaded this because so many people mentioned how good it was.
Well it was a waste of time.
I'm not gonna write much more in this review but:I couldn't even finish this movie. the story is so fucking pointless. I give it a 2.5 for overall nice cinematography from all the different areas seen.

2.5 out of 10

____________________________________________________________________________

Harold and Kumar 2: Escape from Guantanamo bay

Nice follow up but not as good. it felt like reused jokes over and over. I laughed a little bit but now enough to make this a worthy comedy. a download at best only IF you saw the previous as there is almost no backstory.

I rate this movie a 4 out of 10

Crumb - 8/10

For those that don't know, Robert Crumb is a comic book artist/writer probably best known for the Fritz the Cat comic. I'd been wanting to see this doc. since I saw Robert Crumb portrayed in American Splendor a few years ago. I definitely wasn't disappointed. His Attitude, thought process, and his art are so interesting to me because they're so far from mainstream normality. If you liked American Splendor and like Documentaries, this is a great one.

Mamma Mia! - 8/10

What can I say? I love musicals.

I watched it too. I think I\'ve seen it 7 times and I still enjoy it.

I also watched Shaun of the Dead.

I thought Harold and Kumar was pretty good. I like that they don't hold anything back and offend everybody--even pushing the envelop a little.

Space Chimps 7/10

A decent film, but the animation was choppy in places, but overall a fun story with goofy characters.

Stepbrothers 6/10

No deep, hidden meaning here. Very little grose-out humor. This was light and fun. I enjoyed it. It was much better than I expected.

Dead Man - 4.5/5

This movie did seem to move a little slow at times, but Johnny Depp was very good in it and it had me laugh out loud a few times. A little too many 'fade to blacks' but nicely done.

The Dark Knight 9/10. About the best treatment of Batman, and more notably Gotham, Two Face and the Joker I can think of. The nice thing about the movie is that if you take away the special effects, this movie would work just as well as a crime/thriller story using a Hannibal Lector-type foil for the hero. Basically, it's a superhero/comic book movie that doesn't really need the superhero/supervillain.

Only concern is it is a bit long - could've easily been 20 minutes shorter. But that's a minor issue.

Godfather Part II - 8/10

stupendous!!!!


You broke my heart!!!!


Dinero was incredible.... and so young.

Hellboy 2 - 8/10
It was a good little movie but, like the first one, I feel like I'll forget it by the time the next one comes out.

Casino Royale - 7.5/10

Better than I would have expected a non-Connery Bond flick to be.

The Pursuit of Happiness - 9/10

I'm not even a fan of these types of films, but this was a pretty remarkable film, enough to make my cold-hearted ass feel a little sappy.

X-Files: I want to Believe - 3/10 - This would have done well as a made for TV miniseries episode, but not on the big screen. The plot did not involve enough of the supernatural that the X-Files show or first movie cashed in on.

The Dark Knight (2008)

Like everyone else in the world, I have seen this movie and it is definitely a great movie.
I'm so happy they left the dark look of the 1st movie and went for a more realistic Gotham. More daylight scenes. The Joker was pretty awesome as well... Actually all the acting in the movie was incredible. and I'm glad Katyholmes is gone.

I actually thought that when Spoiler: the joker gets caught, the movie would end, but then we see the two-face beginning and so much more!!!

This one tops the 1st on on every level! I don't know how they will be able to follow up this one.

As a comic book movie, I have to give it a 10 out of 10

as a normal movie for everyone who hasn't seen the comicbooks or cartoon series, it is still a 9.5 out of 10

highly rated.

The Dark Knight - 10/10

Holy crap was this a good movie! I turned to my friend after and said "That was like the greatest movie I have ever seen", he turns back and says "my thoughts exactly".

The Joker just gave me the chills every time he was on set, what a truly amazing job Heath did with him. I think that The Joker, as portrayed in this movie, is one of the best characters I have ever seen in film, easily.

The Dark Knight - still 9/10

Yes, again. I can't recall the last time I paid to see a movie more than once. I wanted to see it at IMAX this but we don't have one less than an hour away. Maybe next week.

Jewels, I wanted to see it in IMAX, showed up 8 hours earlier and they were all sold out for the day! If you want to catch the IMAX you might have to prebuy tickets a few days early.

I am going to try and catch this movie again, but this time on IMAX.

just got back from a double feature at the drive-in

Hellboy 2 followed by The Dark Knight

$15 for 3 people to see 4.5 hours of movies...what a deal.

anyway, Hellboy 2 was pretty decent, but not as good as the first. (7/10)

The Dark Knight was amazing (well, it was very good and Heath Ledger was amazing). (9/10)

X-Files: I want to believe-2/10
I want to believe is a terrible film. The actors did not have the connection they once did with their characters. The story was below average as everything related to this film. I was a fan of the TV series until Mulder was "abducted" by aliens and they tried replacing him with sub part actors who couldn't take over his part. They should have stopped after the first X-Files movie because it concluded rather well. This film is a mess.

I'm not surprised. I'll try to avoid it.

Do, or do not. There is no try. - yoda

The Dark Knight - 10/10
What a movie! It was thorough and complete.. and packed to the brim. Good stuff!

Knocked Up - 7.5/10
Nice little movie with some good humor... though I am sorta tired of seeing the same guys playing the same type of roles in like 5 different movies a year.

Trainspotting - 10/10
632876th viewing. This movie was too good not to watch when I was just flipping through the channels. I'll always love it.

Wanted 6.5/10

Cool action, that is if you ignore the law of physics and lower your IQ down to room temperature. Some of the lines Morgan Freeman delivered was really awkward and his death is lame as well. I expect him to be more clever than that. Jolie was eh, I'm tired of her playing roles like this. Apparently, this is an adaptation of a comic book. I looked it up on wiki after watching the movie and found that the plot in the comic book is much more interesting.

The Dark Knight - 10/10

This was round two. Saw it in the IMAX with an absolutely gorgeous woman. Only complaint I have is that some crazy lady sitting 2 over from me kept going "hmmmmm" really loudly all the fucking time!

Amazing movie. I highly suggest seeing this in the IMAX if you can, its so much better.
-----Added 1/8/2008 at 01 : 40 : 04-----
Batman Begins - 10/10

Holy crap Batman!! I can't get enough.

The Dark Knight.

Without a doubt 9/10. Excellent casting, production and all round good fun.
I'd definitely go back and see this movie, in fact I'm considering it already!

Starship Troopers 3

11 years later and the bugs actually look WORSE than they did in the original film! It's only slightly better than the 2nd one. A few of the federation "commercials" were worth a slight grin but the rest of the movie was flat. Unlikable characters, stupid and predictable plot.. Meh..

The Dark Knight - 10/10

I arrived at the theater with a slight migraine and like it so much, it went away :thumbsup:

In Bruges - two hitmen (Colin Farrell and Brendon Gleeson) are sent to Bruges (a historic town in Belgium) after a botched hit where one is tasked with killing the other. A few laughs, a bit of morality, a couple of twists. Not a bad little film.

7/10

The Incredibles - 10/10
Man, I wished that movie could last a whole day. It was just a fun, charismatic flick.

Dark Knight - 9/10.

Absoloutly amazing, very dark and disturbing at times, Heath Ledger definatly deserves an oscar.

Wall.E - 9.5/10

Even better, only reason it doesn't get a 10 is because i saw through the eco-mentalist stuff (which was slightly obvious at times), but otherwise visually stunning. You'll love the characters, and it really warms the heart. Its also quite a long animated film, at 103 minutes, so you get your tickets worth.

The Incredibles is very good, but doesn't hold a candle to Monsters, Inc. now THAT is a 10/10 flick.

Hancock - 7/10 It was great until about half way through where the story took a left turn out of no where and you go WTF? If they just kept going straight and used the rest of the story for a sequel, it would have been an awesome summer movie.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - 8/10
Compared to today's standards of pacing, this movie ranks pretty high. That is to say: Even YOU can watch it and enjoy it. I sure did.

Wall-E - 10/10
A very touching and engaging movie that doubles as a more-than-decent sci-fi anthem.

Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation - 5/10

While this is no award winner by any means, I don't quite get the hate for it. The acting is pretty solid with only a few low points, the FX are decent, and the story is okay. Sure, it's all been done before and it doesn't resemble the original much at all, but it all ends up a mildly entertaining little horror movie. Oh, and it features Kelly Carlson's boobs.

Pineapple Express - 10/10

This might be the best comedy I've seen in at least the past decade. It is absolutely hilarious. It's definitely a stoner kind of movie and is along the same line as Knocked Up. James Franco does an excellent stoner, and everyone else does a great job in this movie. The plot is fantastically funny. There aren't really any major plot twists or anything of that nature, so you probably know how the movie is going to end. But still, everything is very well done and is definitely worth a watch in theaters.

Just got home from seeing The Dark Knight, this has to be at least a 9/10 for me.

I really like the direction that the last two movies have taken the series. The first films were good movies, but you knew that it was a movie made about a comic book. These last two have made me feel like I am watching a movie that was written just to be this movie. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone, maybe it is just hard for me to put how it felt.

I'll get flamed for this one, but I don't know about the whole Ledger for "whatever" award, but he did play the role very well, a large change from the way Jack played it in the first movie.

In the Name of the King 1/10 and thats being generous

Horrible everything despite a cast of Jason Statham, Burt Reynolds, Lelee Sobieski, Ray Liotta and Jonathan Rhys-Myers.
Avoid at all costs.

Cloverfield - 7/10
If you can get past the camera work, the suspense alone caries this movie. I also had a fun time tracing the route they took through Manhattan by paying attention to milestones.

Hancock - 8

Dark Knight - 9.5

X-Files - 6.5

I think people were expecting way too much from the X-Files movie. They were pretty up-front when they publicized it that it was a "Monster of the Week" movie, and there would be no "mythology" revealed in it. Anyone expecting anything else clearly didn't read any of the pre-release press. I actually thought the choice of no fresh mythology was kind of a good idea: you'd have to be a pretty damn hard-core X-Phile to remember all that stuff now.

I thought of it basically like a "Monster of the Week" episode of the show, but long, with a largish budget, and on a very big screen. As such, I thought it was very enjoyable. I thought the character work was just fine. The story was about on a par with any of the "Monster of the Week" episodes they did during the run of the show.

Basically, I asked myself: "Would you go pay $12 to see a brand-new episode of X-Files on a very big screen?" I said yes. I wasn't disappointed.

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder - 6/10

Very entertaining film with a cruelly small budget. Considering what they were given to work with, I think that they did an admirable job. However, the FX were still awful in comparison with the 1997 original and many of the action scenes bore little to no charm.

Pineapple Express - 7/10

I might have been expecting too much out of this. It just didn't reach the height of Knocked Up or Superbad. However, it was still hilarious and fun, so I give it my standard highly entertaining but relatively forgettable rating.

You Kill Me - 7/10

See above rating. This was a very good movie that was both touching and funny. I highly recommend it.

Pineapple Express - 8/10

Great movie, funniest action movie of the summer! This movie made me a fan of James Franco (never watched Freaks and Geeks but will now). Good pacing, lots more action than I expected, and that same Rogen/Apatow buddy relationship thing that always seems to work.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan - 7.5/10

Dumb fun. I love all the Jewish jokes. Spoiler: hummus is used for eating, drinking; used as a toothpaste, and as a fire extinguishing agent

Pineapple Express: 4/10

I'm normally a Judd Aptow fan but it lacked the fluidity of Superbad, the charm of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the originality of 40 Year Old Virgin, and the timing of Knocked Up.

It was completely unoriginal, the plot had no life, the Rogen/Franco improv scenes (all of them) were not funny, most, if not all of, the jokes fell flat, and it was not charming, cute, or endearing. It was void of every characteristic that is usually present in one of their films. Rogen, after awhile, starts to lose direction; his improv skills are great but there is an arrogance to his style that leaves no room for connection at points. There is something very visually open about Steve Carrel's improv that he lacks; I think it's his age. He can do better and I'm praying he does; he is becoming the "I'll put myself in it because I can" guy. Bad idea.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

This was a pretty good film ,I thought : Good acting,exciting plot, a Man's film
BUT it had a lousy ending. Maybe just no end or was it just a set up for part 2;
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN 2 ? (This was taken from a novel and the film won
BEST PICTURE for 2007 at the last Academy Awards TV show. (Wow..best film
of 2007 ? Hollywood use to have only MEGAmovies that cost millions and had a
cast of thousands win best picture.)

The Pacino parts were a bit painful. They're supposed to be, of course, but i always find Pacino to be hard to watch. The character actors around him are excellent, though. I liked Vito's story better. It's not just that it's something of a comedy, but that it's more complex than the Michael half of the movie.

It's a very different movie than the first one. It's not as cartoony, is more determined by structure (Vito rises, Michael falls), and yet looser & more sprawling -- in a good way -- at the same time.

Ironman - 6.5/10

not bad. too much technology. started off pretty normal and went beserk in the end with the suits. ended up more sci-fi with more digital manipulation than a movie in the end.

the only human aspect of it was the relationship between robert downey jnr and gyneth paltrow.

dare i say.. this movie was devoid of a heart

The ending really is love it or hate it. Personally I loved it and thought it totally fit the mood of the movie, but I also know quite a few people that loved the move but hated the end.

anyway.

Resident Evil: Extinction.

1.5/5

I enjoyed the first Res Evil. It was silly fun. The second was BIGGER! LOUDER! and really not as good but had some pretty decent moments. This one though just couldn't hold my interest at all. Thankfully I was watching for free on the Movie Network because half way through I logged on to TFP because it just got dumber and dumber. I've heard they are thinking about Res Evil 4 already but really why?

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 - 8/10

I enjoyed it even more than the first. A total chick flick, though.

Dark Knight

Finally made it in to see the latest Batman flick. It was decent, had a decent plot, decent acting. Though I think Ledgers acting is being highly rated partly due to his passing. I don't think he sucked in it by any means, but I highly doubt anyone would be talking Oscar if he were still alive. Seemed a little long to me too.

I give it a 7/10. But it's not my kind of flick, for me a movie based on a comic book a 7/10 is about as close to 10/10 as it could get. I mean I turned Hellboy II off about half way through it.

Hancock - 7/10
Cool Superman stuff.
It has a promising start but went down hill from the second half. I was expecting a climatic final battle. That didn't happen.

The Love Guru - 6/10, definatly very very funny, but feels a little forced at times, some of the wit associated with earlier Myers stuff seems to be lost towards pandering for the 'kicked in the crotch' humour. If you've got a bunch of mates and some booze it will be brilliant.

However, i'm still laughing over the 'whats one of these? A dead one of these gag'.

The Dark Knight--8/10

I am not an action movie person. The only previous Batman that I had seen was the cheesy TV show on Nickelodeon in the early 80s (re-runs). I have not particularly liked Superman or Spiderman (I think I have seen one of each).

But this movie caught me by surprise. I was totally drawn in--and very impressed. I could not recognize Heath Ledger throughout the entire movie-- I can't remember the last time that I was so convinced about someone being in character. A few things were superfluous and could have been dropped--and the storyline was just a LITTLE bit too roundabout--but overall, I was thoroughly entertained and had tons to discuss with ktspktsp afterwards. I would almost go see it again, just to make sure I got everything.

Star Wars: Clone Wars 7/10

It was a bit uninspired, more of the same SW Universe with little added to the main storyline. It's set between Ep 2 and Ep 3. New toys, some new characters, but mostly the same stuff. I found it a bit too childish in some senses.

have you seen the Clone Wars cartoons? I'm curious to see if this is in the same quality as them.

Yes I have. The cartoon micro series are more like little vignettes. The animation style is similar but CGI. I'd not really compare it to the Genndy Tartakovsky series since it's not fair for to the 5 minute shorts against a 90 minute large budget movie. It stands by itself quite well and but doesn't give much deeper insight to any characters save the introduction of a new one. I'm more interested to see what they do with the series.

It also kicks off the TV show spin off.

The Dark Knight - 10/10

Just saw this last night for the third time. Damn its good! Now don't think I am some crazy that sees movies tons of times in the theater. I saw it the second time because I was with a smoking hot girl and we wanted to see it in the IMAX, and now this time because I flew out to see my brother and he wanted to see it as he had not yet. So there you have it.

Hitman - 7/10

I liked this one. Just a turn-off-your-brain action movie that was actually pretty decent. I would take this over that shit Mr. and Mrs. Smith any day.

Wall-E 9/10
Totally adored it! Great timely statement, beautiful characters and love story.

Actually NO. They were made like that for TV but in the dvds, they are linked togheter really well. It feels like you're watching a full hour dvd. So with both of them, it's a full 2hr.

That is what I would compare it to. Not a 5min short that started the cartoon series.
-----Added 11/8/2008 at 10 : 43 : 06-----
edit: Whole series - approx. 127 min.

* Season One and Season Two/DVD Volume One - These seasons features one major storyline surrounded by a series of many battles. Count Dooku holds auditions for a bounty hunter on the planet Rattatak by pitting them against each other in a battle arena. Asajj kills every one of the bounty hunters and is sent on a mission to assassinate Anakin Skywalker. She engages him in a space battle, through the streets of Muunilinst and eventually leading him into Yavin 4, where the two engage in a lightsaber duel. Anakin emerges the victor, but by means of rage and fear, the path to the Dark Side of the Force.
Apart from the main storyline, many battles ensue, including Mace Windu's fight on Dantooine, Obi-Wan fighting against bounty hunter Durge and the Banking Clan, Kit Fisto's battle against the Quarren on Mon Calamari, the adventures on Ilum and the Battle of Hypori in which General Grevious makes his first appearance in Star Wars media.

* Season Three/DVD Volume Two - The third and last season of Star Wars: Clone Wars gives the audience a look at Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker's adventures in the Outer-Rim Territories as mentioned in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Anakin is made a Jedi Knight and Coruscant comes under attack by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, as a diversion for General Grevious to sneak in and capture Chancellor Palpatine.

Right, but I watched them in their original broadcast 5 minutes each week, the way you watched it that's not how they were released. I watched them all online back to back at one point in time. I didn't say they didn't link together well as a whole story, it just isn't fair to compare the two they are distinctly different from the cartoons and from the live action. Maybe you'll agree when you see it yourself. Maybe you won't.

Dark Knight 10/10
very good movie. I'd have liked it even as a cop thriller because the batmanness of it wasn't too invasive to me. Ledger's performance was top notch.

Duska

8/10

I'd rate it 10/10 but there was so much mistakes, especially in russian/ukrainian scenes.

Sorry, i'm an intent bore :shy:
Anyway, this is an ideal movie for calm late evening.

Franco completely carries the movie. In the end, his character is the only one you care about. Rogen works better in a movie where he is reacting rather than driving the story. Still, there are some funny bits and its the first ever stoner/action movie, so I'll give it a solid 7/10.

Heavenly Creatures 7.5/10

Strange and beautiful film. The story of two teenage girls in 1950s New Zealand who alarm their parents with their intense friendship. Things could have been handled better...tragedy ensues.

Great film. Peter Jackson. Wonderful first film performances by the two young actresses, includng Kate Winslet. Wouldn't it be great to have Kate Winslet as a girlfriend?

I enjoyed the it very much.

Hellboy 2 - 6.5/10

Decent movie for an action fantasy flick. I have never read the comics so I know nothing about hellboy other than the movies. Good popcorn flick but nothing too special about it. Niles Crane wasn't in this one, so that was kind of strange.


Starship Troopers 3 - 6/10

Way better than I thought it would be. I would give ST 2 a 2/10 (boobies give it a 2), so I was really impressed with this one in comparison to number 2. Not even close to as good as the first, but still a decent B movie. I thought it pretty funny the way they snuck not 1, not 2, but 3 (!!!!) pairs of boobies into the movie with about 5-10 min left. Good job guys, I knew there was a reason for them being called B movies.

Definitely Maybe - 5/10

Cutesie, predictable and fairly boring flick. I only rank it this highly because my girls wanted to see it and it did have the little girl from Little Miss Sunshine in it.

Now you KNOW I'm going to have to check this one out.

The Bank Job - 8.5/10
This was a damn good movie. It had suspense in the right place and a great story buildup. I can't give it top honors because it never gave me the "woah this is so good" giddy feeling, but I definitely recommend it as one of the best heist movies in a while. Lots of boobies in it too!

Equilibrium - 8.5/10

I love this movie. Scary movie with a realistic future I could see taking place. Christian Bale is in it too so thats a plus. I recommend this to anyone who likes action movies.

Tropic Thunder - 6/10

I had to see Robert Downey Jr but was not as happy as I wanted to be. It did have quite a few hilarious moments but, for me, it was mostly mindless crude humor. It could be viewed as trying to make a statement or two, but I don't see it that way. I think it could've been a lot better.

The Bank Job - 9/10

Caught this last night while not being able to sleep. Really just turned it on for something thinking I'd head back to bed after a couple minute of mindless TV. Wasn't mindless and i didn't get back to bed until early this morning. I wasn't expecting much hadn't heard anything. Very well done with a damn good sound track to boot.

Tropic Thunder - 7/10

Funniest modern comedy that I have seen in a long time. Has some moments that had me laughing so hard it hurt. WAY better than any of the other crap comedies coming out these days.

And how can you guys all like the bank job? I would give it like a 3/10. I hated it. Maybe I should give it another watch when I am sober some time, could that change my mind?

Sweeney Todd - 6.5/10 (sometimes the signing was a bit much)

The Onion - 9/10 (the cruise ship ad was the funniest shit ever)

It's weird. I watch movies all the time that people seem to love, I watch them and end up either thinking "Meh" or "Gez, really?" I had several folks tell me how great Hellboy II was, I turned it off. Would rather mow my lawn then watch that. I have a friend who's always getting me to watch stuff with subtitles or "symbolism" type "plots." You know the type- "the butterfly at the end symbolized his acceptance of his loss." Umm, ok if you say so.

But in regards to The Bank Job itself. Might not be the type of flick to watch drunk. Also might be better if you have a real firm grasp of what the late 60's early 70's were like.

Then again, maybe it's just not your type of flick.

Scorpion King 2 - 4/10

Pretty bad all around. The acting was downright hilarious! Mr. Randy C sounded like he was reading the script from a teleprompter! If you like B movies I recommend this one, if not then stay the hell away from it! The best parts were the hideous acting, and the heroin of it was smoking hot as well.

For all you wondering why I have this huge influx of B movies pouring in, well, the explanation is simple: I am on holidays visiting my brother and we both love our B movies! So expect lots of B movies on the way!

Agreed on The Onion. It was excellent.

Ah, I give it an 8.5, so we're opposite. I think everyone did a good job and there were some clever lines. I don't even usually like excessive pot humour and it boggles my mind how some people can literally laugh everytime pot is mentioned in a movie, but this flick did a good job. Saul was an incredible character. Some of the jokes do fall flat, but it's a comedy so I don't expect every single joke to work. I'm not sure I've ever seen a comedy that has worked flawlessly.

Not saying this is classic comedy but I actually like it more than Knocked Up and Superbad. Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The 40 Year Old Virgin are better.

But yeah, that's the last movie I saw.

Pretty Village, Pretty Flame - 9/10

One of my new favorites. While it took some time to really get rolling, the end result is just breath-taking and epic. The majority of the film takes place in either a hospital room or a cave, but they still amount to some of the best and most gripping. Memorable characters, fantastic script, and solid direction combined with a strangely new wave approach involving lots of music and a few quirky editing techniques make this a must-see.

I'm Not There - 8/10

Great movie. It was really interesting how all the little things taken together show different aspects of Dylan as he's shown himself to the public over the years.

It was kind of like an autobiography, only instead of telling Dylan's story, it told you his soul. That makes it abstract in parts, but the different characters still pull you in to be involved in each scene, even if you can't tell what the scene is trying to tell you at the time. Also, Cate Blanchett is incredible in this film as the portrayal of Dylan's electric/amphetamine fueled stage of his career.

Also, all the little references were great...and as I'm not a Dylanophile, I probably caught 1 in 3 of them, if that.

Just saw the Dark Knight today--10/10. It was nonstop, never lost my attention for a second, and that says a lot. Well-acted by everyone involved--amazing performance by Heath Ledger; he disappears into the Joker so far that you forget that it's him up there. Really, really enjoyed it!

Persepolis

Persepolis

7/10
Read the books. They were great. The movie was uninspired. It seemed like an animated version of the books for those who can't be bothered to read graphic novels.

Tropic Thunder - 6, or so

The movie was ok..........
But, the Les Grossman character was phenomenol. I have never seen this actor truly perform before. This was a moment. In fact, I never considered him an actor until this film.

Tropic Thunder - 7/10 - If you love Ben Stiller movies and his sense of humor you'll love this one.
