Get Smart - 7/10
I watched this really late at night, which may have made me more susceptible to its brand of humor. I enjoyed it and laughed a lot. There were plenty of corny moments that I couldn't appreciate, but it surprised me with its quality.

Halx 05-21-2009 10:51 PM

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead - 5/10
The directing and pacing is flat. The story is loose. This, all while trying to be substantial. Nothing bothers me more than a movie that tries to be catchy, but fails. I really can't stand Ethan Hawke. Albert Finney does nothing special. Marisa Tomei shows her boobs again... 3 times. Philip Seymour Hoffman is great though.

Slumdog Millionaire - 8/10
I want Freida Pinto in my life. What can I say about this movie that hasn't been said? It was a nice way for a story to come together, but I find it hard to accept so many entertaining twists as anything more than blatant fiction. Too many of those and you have to feel like you were just fed cinematic Prozac.

Quantum of Solace - 9/10
Lives up to its full potential as an action movie. I like the thuggish Bond. A lot of people criticized the movie because he uses brute force in favor of cunning, but I find it perfectly acceptable. Consider that this movie takes place only minutes after Casino Royale ends, we're still looking at a rookie secret agent. Give it another movie before he starts using his brains more than his muscle.

What We Do Is Secret 10/10

I was very skeptical to see the guy from A Walk To Remember play Darby Crash, but, god damn, he pulled it off well if you ask me. Bijou Phillips was incredible as Lorna Doom also, but i already knew that would happen. The Germs have always provoked a certain brand of emotion from me and this movie captured them perfectly. I truly believed I was watching The Germs on screen, not actors.

Terminator: Salvation - 5/10

It was an action flick, nothing groundbreaking really. I was entertained by gunfire and explosions, which is what I've come to expect of the summer movie season. Lots of throwbacks to the original in the form of cheesy dialogue and a familiar face... I'd recommend it if you want lots of yelling, a post-apocalyptic world with random things on fire, and camera perspectives through the eyes of several different Terminators.

Reese 05-23-2009 09:29 AM

Tape - 7/10
I don't really know what to say about this one. It was very ambiguous and for a movie with only 3 actors and a shady hotel as the only set, it kept my attention throughout. I still don't know what to think about it...

Halx 05-23-2009 11:13 AM

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - 7/10
This movie accomplished some interesting things for being just "Ok." First of all, I managed to pay attention for the whole movie (almost 3 hours!) and then I was very impressed with its visuals. However, this is no Forrest Gump. The movie teaches us nothing about morality or ourselves.. even though it sounds like it was trying to. Its basically just a 3 hour study into the advances of computer graphics.

Star Trek 4/5

Emotional moments that make it great for a date and lots of skillfully wrought action will make Star Trek a hit for almost anyone.

If you think about it the story hangs together well. A lot of the Star Trek Universe has changed though, from the alien-looking alien crew mixed in everywhere to a different world view on the part of the writers. This movie is clearly intended to appeal to a broad, modern audience.

A few changes to the main characters may bother fans, like Spoiler: Bones being fairly unemotional, Spock not having much scientific curiosity or Kirk fighting poorly. Bones is a solid likeable doctor character in the movie though. This may actually be my favorite version of Spock because he was more complex and realistic. Kirk annoyed me a bit; he is still brave and thinks on his feet but he gets his ass kicked a LOT. In spite of this it should be very enjoyable for fans; you will look forward to seeing where they take this story. Plus there are a million fun quotes and visual references that only fans will catch.

Overall, I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a well executed, light movie. In addition it will be an odd but enjoyable treat for fans.

Terminator Salvation 5/10

Wasn't Horrible, Wasn't spectacular. It was loud as hell and had some good action scenes but that's about it.

Lucifer 05-24-2009 01:38 PM

Terminator Salvation: 7.5/10. Pretty good, but not as good as #1 or Star Trek. I found it jumps around a lot from scene to scene, sometimes not making much sense along the way. John Connor is in a sort of laboratory environment being chased by Arnie, all of a sudden, next scene, he's in a sort of factory environment and not being chased or shot at. Did the machine just give up, or did it get lost between scenes?

Reese 05-25-2009 11:12 AM

Changeling 8/10

This movie pissed me off but Angelina with that short-ish hair and those vintage hats.

Cynthetiq 05-25-2009 11:22 AM

seven pounds 7/10

interesting story, interesting screenplay.

sad movie.

KellyC 05-26-2009 10:14 PM

Star Trek - 8/10
The opening segment was the best in the movie, imo.

settie 05-26-2009 11:13 PM

Terminator Salvation: 6/10.
Nothing will beat the second Terminator movie, I think. But the effects in this one were great, and I enjoyed the plot line.
Didn't appreciate having my ears violated though. They rang all night, still ringing actually. Its as if I went to a concert. Too loud, much too loud. My poor ears... :(

Titan_Uranus 05-27-2009 02:44 AM

Star trek 7-10 ,zombie stippers 5-10 stupidly funny ,reservation road 8-10.

Lasereth 05-27-2009 04:33 AM

The Reader - 3.5/4 stars

This movie was really good but fell short for me in the last 30 minutes or so. It didn't quite accomplish what it was going for, but it was still way above most movies. Great performances by Ralph Fiennes, Kate Winslet, and David Kross. This movie does contain plot events about the holocaust, WWII, and a relationship between a 15 year old boy and a 35 year old woman, but none of these is what the movie is about despite what the rest of the world says. It's about what goes on in the human mind when forced to choose humility or responsibility.

Halx 05-28-2009 10:00 PM

Role Models - 8/10
A real funny movie. It was very formulaic (aren't they all?) but it managed to be competent and enjoyable.

dohrk 05-28-2009 10:49 PM

Terminator 7 /10 Was pleasantly surprised with the depth of Marcus character. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would, the action scenes were well done, and I wonder how many more times Bale can act with someone missing the left side of their face.

Grasshopper Green 05-29-2009 07:16 PM

Hubby had knee surgery and was laid up in bed for awhile, so we watched quite a few movies:

The Wrestler - 4/5 - Mickey Rourke was fantastic, the story was good but a little depressing. Overall enjoyable.

Milk - 4.5/5 - Sean Penn and James Franco were both awesome. The story was depressing - it really stuck with me and I thought a lot about the movie the next day. It's discouraging that the same tired arguments are being used 30 years later.

Star Trek - 4.5/5 - I'm NOT a Star Trek fan and I'm not a sci-fi fan in general, but I'm definitely a fan of this movie. It was fun from start to finish. The only quibble I have is Winona Ryder - she sucked, IMO.

Knowing - 0/5 - The movie was very formulaic, but it wasn't absolutely horrible until the ending. The ending pissed me off and ruined any chance of the movie not totally sucking.

Australia - 2.5/5 - The story was ok, the acting was ok, Hugh Jackman was hot, it was a little on the long side. Worth watching, but definitely a renter.

Valkyrie - 2.5/5 - Tom Cruise didn't totally suck, which surprised me. Because the movie was based on a true story and I already knew the plot failed, the attempts at suspense were somewhat amusing. It was decent though, and fairly entertaining.

Frost/Nixon - 4/5 - I knew nothing of the story before renting it other than the movie was based on real events, but it was engaging and the acting was very good by all parties involved. It probably didn't have the impact on me that it would for my parents, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

FelixP 05-29-2009 08:59 PM

The last movie I saw was Step Brothers. It was kind of stupid, but I grew up with a step brother, and we shared a room from when I was seven till when I was twelve. It brought back some nice memories of how we were when we first met and first started sharing a room.

Halx 05-29-2009 09:15 PM

Frost/Nixon - 8/10
I really liked the idea of a mental battle between two opponents, but I felt like it was executed rather clumsily. Excellent acting, but this could have been an epic movie if the writers didn't cop out by stealing a plot device from a high school movie. Spoiler: Hot shot skates through school until it becomes apparent to him that he needs to shape up and start studying in order to pass the final exam. Seen that movie before?

Reese 05-29-2009 11:13 PM

Frost/Nixon 6/10

I didn't care about the whole "high school movie plot device" as you call it. It was all kinda dull to me, honestly. The only thing I really enjoyed were some off camera back and forth between Nixon and Frost. How could you not be thrown off your game if the president asked you if you got laid the night before 2 seconds before the camera started rolling.

sapiens 05-30-2009 09:40 AM

The Conformist 7/10
Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Beautifully shot, but dull.

Reese 06-01-2009 03:17 PM

Blindness 4/10

Maybe it's because I was wanting more depth or meaning from this film, but I found it really disappointing. Basically, People start going blind for no reason with one character that it immune to the disease gets put into quarantine with all the infected/blind people. It seems like the movie SHOULD have a message about human nature or morality or whatever but there's really nothing to learn from the movie. I kept thinking of the old saying "In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king." but I felt that the only character in the film with sight was almost useless. Sure she helped out a little but she absolutely didn't live up to her potential.

Halx 06-01-2009 09:33 PM

UP (in 3D)- 10/10
I was laughing my ass off the entire movie. If you know me, it is very hard to get me to laugh, but this movie tickled my funny bone just right. This isn't like those lame "adult pop culture reference mixed in with kid content" movies... the humor is all good natured. The story is fun and the animation is very entertaining. Pixar is full of really talented people. This movie should be a bonus if you love dogs. I actually hate dogs and I liked the dog parts, but I know one friend of mine who would absolutely die if he saw it.

Spoiler: The cone of shame!

settie 06-01-2009 11:12 PM

Thanks for the review on UP Halx. my friends and I see a movie every tuesday in the summer...UP is tomorrow. I wasn't sure if it was worth seeing based on the trailer.
Sounds worth a watch :)

settie 06-02-2009 09:42 PM

Just watched UP. 10/10 for sure.

Beginning really tugged at the heartstrings (I think the last time I was brought to tears from an animation film was Beauty and the Beast when I was a kid lol!), but gosh it was very funny.

Kevin is the greatest (my friend's fiance Kevin will always have that reference now), and like Halx, I really don't like dogs, but I enjoyed the dog parts immensely.

Spoiler: nothing made me laugh harder than those dogs going bonkers for the tennis balls, and saying POINT! when gesturing to something. That Star Wars reference made me giggle too.

The short animation before the film, "Partly Cloudy," was the sweetest most adorable thing I've ever watched. I don't think I've ever audibly "aww" 'ed as many times as I did during that short. Pixar shorts are always awesome.

Cynthetiq 06-03-2009 07:19 AM

Taken 8/10

another Luc Besson film. Really enjoyed it.

Bottleshock 7/10
an interesting tale about the rise of California wines onto the world stage.

sapiens 06-03-2009 09:14 AM

Revolutionary Road - 6/10
Directed by Sam Mendes, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. A 50s couple unhappy with their lives in the suburbs. Heavy melodrama, lots of DRAMA!. It has been done before and better in movies like Far From Heaven and Mendes' earlier film American Beauty. It has also been done better in television like Mad Men.

I never saw the movie, but I did enjoy the book by José Saramago. I'll have to avoid the movie.

up 10/10
Pixar has created it's most emotionally complex and sympathetic character. A more mature and satisfying film than their past films but enjoyable by the whole family.

mrklixx 06-03-2009 10:52 PM

UP 8/10

Pretty much echoing what has already been said. I don't think that this one is flashy enough for small children or anyone with ADD. Not saying that it's a bad thing.

To me, parts of the movie had a similar theme to Monster House, which I thought was a terrible movie. But for everything that Monster House did wrong, Pixar does right with UP.

On a side note, I actually saw the movie twice in the past 2 days, once in 3-d and once in 2-d. I usually enjoy 3-d viewing a great deal, but for this film it did not enhance the viewing whatsoever. So I would suggest saving yourself the extra $3-$5 and just see the regular version.

Edited to add: FYI there is nothing interesting after the credits, so no need to wait.

Halx 06-07-2009 04:43 PM

The International - 2/10
Caught this movie on my flight. I was sort of offended to see Clive Owen and Naomi Watts droning their lines to such a terrible script. So bad.

Punk.of.Ages 06-07-2009 06:59 PM

Star Trek 8/10

I think this is an incredible movie. It's very well put together and thoroughly entertained me throughout. The only qualm I have is Spoiler: the whole alternate reality thing. I tried to stay away from anything about the movie before I saw it and I thought it was going to be the original story of how the crew got together. I was a bit disappointed with where they went with it.

Taken 6/10

This is one of those movies that I enjoy watching the first time I do, and then when it's over I never have to see it again. There's plenty of ass kicking and great action scenes, but when all's said and done it feels very anti-climactic.

Marley & Me 9/10

Granted, I've always been a sap for mushy tales about man's best friend, but this was just such a good movie. I fell in love with that big dumb dog just as much as the character's did.

YaWhateva 06-08-2009 08:00 AM

The Hangover 9/10

Zach Galifianakis is my hero. Enough said.

Reese 06-08-2009 09:59 AM

Gran Torino 9/10
Excellent Film. There was some great lines in this movie. It gives you the impression that Eastwood's character in this film is just as much of a badass as he was in Dirty Harry.
"Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have fucked with? That's me."

The International:
Meh, This was such a boring movie. I liked the assassin dude, everyone else in the movie sucked.

Telluride 06-09-2009 07:55 AM

Live Free Or Die Hard - 9/10

Seen it before and own the DVD. One of my favorite movies. :thumbsup:

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey 10/10

I'm a fuckin sap for talking animal movies. It helps when they're voiced by great talent like Don Ameche, Michael J. Fox and Sally Field. Speaking of Don Ameche, I think I'm going to watch a few of his other films next.

imouseone 06-09-2009 09:48 PM

Alright its kind of a American Pie feeling film but I laughed. The language is pretty back but you expect it with flicks like these.

I'd rate it about the same I think. And I think it was definitely better than the American Pie series. :D

Friday the 13th 1/10

This remake was boring as hell. It's not even up to par with the most recent Halloween or Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
