I watch lots of movies now that I can't do anything else.
Reservoir Dogs 5/10 I just didn't really care for it, I found it to be pretty boring and draggy. True Romance. 8/10 Now this was an enjoyable movie, I really liked it. This is the way romance movies should be! If a little predictable at times I still really liked it. |

I saw Art School Confidential last night and absolutely loved it. One of the darker comedies I've ever see but still hilarius in its own right. I highly recommend it!

Grandma's Boy
2/10 This movie was terrible, I didn't even want to watch it in the first place but the lady did so I sat through it. Total crap, it was just a bunch of random events strung together. They wernt even funny events. Avoid at all costs. |

Shinobi Fantastic, loved the special effects. Martial arts, star-crossed lovers, blood and guts. Old story, new take. 8/10.
One Last Thing... Pretty surprising. Great depiction of how we throw stuff at kids with cancer and all they really want is some time and to still be a teenager. It caught me a little close to home since the actor looked almost identical to one of my kids from work, so I started bawling. But I loved the humor. The red-haired chick from Sex in the City was awesome. 7/10. Revolver Yeah, again. I still catch new things every time I see this film. I love Jason Statham... even with the greasy look. And Ray Liotta is creepy as ever. Such a twisted plot! 9/10 Chaos Not released yet most places. Based on the Chaos Theory. I can't stand Ryan Phillipe, but the plot was pleasantly twisted and the action kept my attention. Wesley Snipes is a dork and his clothes were annoying, but Jason Statham (I have a fetish, ) is surprisingly intelligent and fantastically devious in this role. 8/10.

Mission Impossible III
I liked it. There I said it. The entire team gets a lot more screen time in this one. The stunts are fairly believable, with just the right amount of go-go-gadget ingenuity, and the plot doesn't revolve around saving the world for a change. Phillip Seymore Hoffman was full of swagger and balls, and made a fine villain. I liked that he was driven but in no way cartoonish. Two thumbs up. |

The DaVinci Code - 6.5 out of 10
It wasn't nearly as bad as all the critics said, but it wasn't outstanding either. Probably would have been rated higher had I not known everything that was going to happen.

11:14 Interesting concept, not well delivered. While coincidences are interesting, this movie made them too contrived. I wouldn't recommend it because there are much better movies out there with the same premise. One example is 13 Conversations About One Thing. 2/10
Motorcycle Diaries I loved this movie. I didn't think I would..I mean traveling around South America on a motorcycle..not really my type of movie. But it was great to see the transformation of the characters while they met different people and saw different events. It also had funny parts which I enjoyed. Plus, it's a true story. 9/10

Les Miserables --
I honestly thought this would be a horrible chick flick, but it turned out to be a pretty good movie. I think I generally like the surprising hero who comes through motif, tho. 9.5/10

Last two movies I watched yesterday -
Clear and Present Danger - 4/10 - Pretty miserable casting if you ask me The Rundown - 7/10 - Hilarious at some times, otherwise the ending kind of ruined the movie for me. Everything except for the final scene, at least.

I'll sleep when i'm dead - 7/10
Good film, if a little confusing because it doesn't really answer many questions. Definatly very dark, i would have loved to have seen an 18 version, it would have been so brutal.

Cars - 7/10
I've seen every Pixar release except The Incredibles, and I think Cars, while visually stunning, is the worst of them. There just isn't that much at stake. We are told pretty early that Lightning's quest for the Piston Cup is a rather shallow goal, so then what? This isn't a "father searches the ocean for his son" or "ants bond together to thwart the evil grasshoppers" type of story. Plus they really dropped the ball in underusing the talents of George Carlin, Cheech Marin, etc.

I saw Cars over the weekend and rather liked it. I would even go to say best kiddie movie since Corpes Bride, and I think I have seen just about every major animated film of the last five years. Yes, predictable but what kiddie movie isnt? Shallow goal, maybe, but all these movie's plots are kept simple. I had laughed plenty of times, and I do agree that cheech and Carlin were under used.

I saw both, Cars 7/10 and Over The Hedge 9/10
Cars was visually stunning, as someone else said but very thin. Also, for a kids movie it was really long. I remember thinking jeez, whens this shit gonna end....not a good sign! Over The Hedge I absolutely friggen loved!! It was funny, had smart jokes, and just long enough that you didn't feel cheated. |

I watched "Kingdom of Heaven". It was a visually stunning movie but was about 45 minutes too long (it comes out to be 2 hours 24 minutes.) I would give it a 7/10.
Before that, I saw "The DaVinci Code". The only good thing was that the theater we were in was air conditioned! 5/10.

I saw The DaVinci Code yesterday. I haven't read the book, so I went in with no altered expectations. And I liked it. I really liked it. Unfortunately, this film will never be evaluated as just a film. I give it an 8.

I saw Cars and X-Men 3 at the Drive-In, sadly I wasnt able to watch all the credits cause we had to switch cars so we could watch X-Men, actually missed what was actually said in the first minute or two. I would rate them both 4/5.

6/17 The Break-Up
I am usually fairly kind to movies... but this one... 4 out of 10. They did interesting things to eachother but overall it just lacked substance. The moral was learned and I adored the ending... it goes to show that... well i cant do that white spoiler thingy so lets just say youre in for a suprise. If you wanna see it see a matinee or wait for it to hit the dollar movie.... dont waste your 7-11 bucks to see it full price. |

Fast and the furious: Tokyo drift
6/10 A pretty good film, some bits that kinda made you wonder what was going on, but some excellent car scenes. Much better than the second (not that its hard), but still not as good as the first. Just one major niggle though: Spoiler: THEY WERE NOT 17 FFS!

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
It was the first time I've ever seen it and was a good, mindless western. The 'western' genre doesn't interest me, but I'm glad I gave it a shot (pun intended) 7/10 Next up: 12 angry men, my dinner with andre, and blade runner (never seen any of them yet).

Darkness (2002)
0 out of 10 One of the worst "horror" movies I've seen. No redeeming qualities. Horrible acting. uninteresting, annoying characters. Convoluded plot. Avoid this one.

Holy crap was this funny ! I feel this was some of Jack Black's best work. It was laugh-out-loud funny for the first half of the film, then it sort of died out around the mid-point, and picked back up toward the end. Normally I would have been annoyed by the waning of the comedy, but it really was necessary so they could fit some plot into the movie Don't go to see this movie if you plan to scrutinize it. It is dumb fun for those who just want to laugh. If you don't like Jack Black's work as Tenacious D, but really loved School of Rock, I would have to say you might not like this movie as much as you hoped. It is more fans of Jack Black as the crazy Tenacious D singer who can bring the most random thing into a situation to make it downright wacky. I would give it an 8.5-10 only due to the sloping off of the comedy around the halfway point, even though it was justified. |

Ultraviolet Unrated... horrible. Special effects were awful, plot was stupid and predictable. And I'm fairly tolerant. 2/10.
Attack the Gas Station... disappointing. I knew it was pop-culture based when I got it, but it wasn't all that great. Wonderfully over-acted, though, and that was partially the point. The movie just kind of wandered around, though. 6/10. Everything is Illuminated... loved it. Even though Elijah Wood has eerily perfect skin and hair in this one, he was perfect for the role. I loved that half of the dialogue was in Ukranian/Russian (never did figure out which) and there were no subtitles, it was perfect and you could understand what was going on. I typically do not enjoy movies based on the Holocaust, but this one was so quirky that I couldn't help but love it. "The girls want to get carnal with me because I am a premium dancer... like Michael Jackson." The rest of the cast I'd never seen before, but they were amazing. 9.5/10... for the slip up in the last scene on the train with Wood... he had four zits that weren't present in the rest of the movie. Blew the continuity of the ending for me because it clearly wasn't filmed at the same time.

I saw two recently.
The New World Complete snoozefest. If this film could be bottled and sold as a sleeping pill, the producers would make a fortune. The only redeeming thing about this film is the cinematography...it is pretty to look at. 1/5 The Family Stone I liked it. I don't typically like a lot of chick flicks, but this one was good..it was funny, not too dramatic, a little sad, but with a happy ending nonetheless. A worthwhile Sunday afternoon movie. 3/5

Finally watched it for the first time. Stunning. Spoiler: When Kay reveals to Michael that she aborted their son, that's got to be one of the most shocking moments in movie history.

I'm sorry but I have to counter "3z3's" review .This was by far/ hands down / without question, the absolute worst movie in the history of movies (in my opinion). This movie has nothing to offer. There were people of all ages, lots of children, (obviously the target audience),and no one in the theatre laugh'd more than a couple of times. I'm talking about a hundred people plus! My eight year old stepson, who loves anything "wrestling", almost fell asleep! I can usually find something positive to say about even the crappiest of movies, but not this one ... nothing. I was stunned, "mouth-gapping-shocked-speechless", that Hollywood somehow got this piece of crap produced, let alone released to the public !?!? Sorry "3Z3VH", but i would have to tell people to save their money and stay home, or go see "Cars", and let me know how that movie is ... |
