Starsky and Hutch - 6/10.

Bug - 1/10. This sucked.

[Loose Cannon]

From Dusk Till Dawn - 4/5

Watching this makes me wish Clooney does a few more action movies than usual. Although I wish Salma Hayek had a much much larger role.

great movie. one of my favorite action flicks and my favorite Clooney role ever

[ClockShot]

great movie. one of my favorite action flicks and my favorite Clooney role ever

Ever see Three Kings?

[Loose Cannon]

yea and Syriana. see that one if you liked Clooney in 3 Kings. I thought that was better

[Destor]

inglorious bastards: 10/10

[NoRoolz]

Orphan: 8/10

Decent, better than I expected. Some brutal scenes and some creepy shit. Sweetest little girl EVER in it too.

[Loose Cannon]

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. 7/10

I thought this was the worst one out of the three to be honest. Loved the entire series, but this one didn't have as good as a plot. And I thought Tina Turner as the heel was not that good. Road Warrior was my favorite. By the way, WCW took a lot of shit from this movie. It's kind of ridiculous.


Saw IV: 8.5/10

Note to self for future Saw movie watches. Watch the last one like a week or so prior to watching the new one. I watched Saw III like 7 months ago and totally forgot what happened. I love these Saw movies though. I think there the most clever written horror series of all-time. How they tie in the previous movies and tie in all the characters is amazing. I liked Saw IV almost as much as the first one. It tied together a lot of backstory and the ending was great. I liked how III and IV virtually happened at the same time at the end. Which brings me to


Saw V: 6/10. So I took my advice and rented Saw V last night. I kind of had mixed feelings about this one. I pretty much saw the whole "game" coming for the five people that were trapped. I loved Hoffman's reverse pychology at the end to finish off things. I liked how they showed the backstory of how Jigsaw and Hoffman met and how Jigsaw kept saying "learn the human mind" and how to think ahead and everything, which Hoffman did at the end. But I feel this movie could of been done in Saw IV as it really just seemed like total filler.

[PorkSoda]

Really Loose Cannon? I'm not the only one who appreciates the Saw series?

Not only that, but I think you rated them a bit too high, especially Saw V. Saw V was just one big flashback and nothing, and I mean NOTHING, happened in present time except Corbitt being found and the ending. Other than that, it was a huge flashback. But the Saw series is one big movie, and Saw V you probably have to watch with Saw IV, or Saw VI when it comes out. Saw II and Saw III go together perfectly, so yeah....I just think Saw V was pretty horrible, the five people story was just an excuse to put traps in the film...

Daddy Day Care - 2/10. I didn't like this one.....

[Jeritron]

Halloween 2 (the new Rob Zombie one) 3/10

Don't ask me why I saw this. My friend, his brother and me always go see the Halloween, Freddy and Jason movies regardless of how bad they look. It's just kind of something we do. Even when they're awful its still a good time.
This movie was so awful though. It was an even bigger mess than Zombie's first one, which was an abortion in it's own right. I can't believe this guy is a director.
Just nothing interesting, suspenseful, or entertaining about it. Pointless violence and mayhem with no real characters or respectable plot. It's as though the movies are just incidental. They sort of just happen as a result of him making torture porn, tasteless violence, 70s rock references, and putting his wife on screen for no real reason any chance he gets.

All 3 points are awarded because it has a Wierd Al Yankovic cameo.

[Downunder]

Rock n Rolla

6/10, not a bad film but the other one with Vinny Jones in it was way better.

[Droford]

L.A. Confidential 9/10

Awesome movie. Finally got to see it, I dont know why it took so long because my roommate in college was obsessed with it and watched it all the time. Top notch cast and acting with an awesome story..

Bonus points for the Blu Ray which has the 2000 LA Confidential TV pilot with Kiefer Sutherland playing Jack Vincennes which is just the craziest thing since its almost Jack Bauer in the 1950's.

The Code/Thick as Thieves 3/10

Whoever thought of putting Antonio Banderas and Morgan Freeman together in a heist movie should be forced to sit through this movie for a week straight with their eyes wired open. I might have been able to be more generous with the rating if they had chosen ANYONE besides Banderas for his role because he turns in one of the worst performances Ive seen in a long time (and he gets to romp around with Radha Mitchell to make me even angrier.) Freeman was ok, though you could tell he wasn't investing too much of himself in this one either, but at least it wasn't on the level of dear Antonio. The movie was extremely predictable with only one oddball swerve that I didnt see coming but it wasn't even worth worrying about, and a story thats pretty much like every other heist movie you've seen before minus any real action or even tension.

[D Mac]

Watchmen 8/10 crazy movie but a bit boring at times.

[Kalyx triaD]

District 9 - 4/5

I caught myself wishing that the movie was less preachy and more sci-fi action when the dude and Johnson were storming the MNU building and they had that one line of 'buddy action comedy' dialogue ("Fuck!"). But I otherwise enjoyed it very much.

The director has my favor, and now I feel bad he didn't get to do Halo.

[Exyle]

I know I'm late on this one, but...

The Wrestler: 8.5/10

[Loose Cannon]

Fragments: 5/10

This was a direct to DVD movie starring Dakota Fanning, Forest Whitaker and Kate Bekensale. It reminded me a lot like that movie Crash, but not as good. basically, some dude comes into a diner on an ordinary day with all these people inside and starts shooting. Then the movie focuses on the lives of the people who lived trhough the ordeal and how these people changed after that.

Plus Kate Beckensale gets nailed from behind in this movie :y:

[PorkSoda]

Doom 5/10.

It wasn't bad, but the first person view made me mark out. Friggen loved that.

[DaveWadding]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - 8.5/10

[thedamndest]

Halloween II (2009) - 5/10

There was some good but more not good. The Michael Myers scenes were good. The psychological scenes were not good. I didn't really feel any strong connection to the lead character. Usually you want to see her escape and/or kill the bad guy, but I didn't in this case. I think it was partly because she was annoying and partly because she found out she was Michael Myers' sister she decided to go get drunk at a huge house party on Halloween instead of having a mental collapse since that seemed to be the direction she was heading (but that wouldn't have been as exciting I guess).

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Taxi Driver. 7/10

I really had a hard time coming up with a number for this one. Like I was saying in the "Better Movie" thread, there's really nothing wrong with the movie. It's just not my kind of movie. It's very slow and drawn out and I found myself bored a few times. The directing, acting and story were all great, but the pace killed it for me. I can't believe Jodie Foster was like 13 years old in real life there. That seems crazy to me that she was doing that role.

Brilliant documentary by Werner Herzog. It's even better than his documentary on the actor and mentalist, Klaus Kinski.

Slumdog Millionaire 8/10

[ClockShot]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine 3.5/5

Not bad, but why make a movie about a mutant's backstory, when we comic geeks know the backstory beforehand? Mark out moment when Patrick Stewart arrived on Airwolf.

Props to Will.i.am and his acting. Damn fine job. Better than Taboo's work in Street Fighter.

[PorkSoda]

I'm not a comic book geek....so I didn't know about any backstory. Plus, I didn't like the X-Men movies, but Wolverine I actually liked. I'd like to buy it on DVD.

The Incredibles - 8/10. 85%. Pass.Pass.Fail. 4/5. However you want to rate it, the movie was incredible.

[Loose Cannon]

Wolverine: X-men origins. 2/10

Wow, were they kidding here? It's like they wrote an action movie and didn't have any characters so they just said "let's take some X-men characters and throw them in." Each X-men movie has gotten worse and worse since the first one and this one takes the cake. They just totaly raped X-men all together. I think they just threw Gambit in this movie to shut up all the people who have been wanting him forever. Deadpool was a joke. We have a mutant that can turn on lightbulbs or some shit. ugh, just horrendous booking

[The Genius]

extract 7/10

[mitch_h]

Some movies I caught at the Toronto Film Festival.

Baaria - Ugh horrible movie, didn't really want to see this, but my girlfriend and I always try to see one movie together at the festival and this was the best looking movie we could work around our schedules. Plus I thought Giuseppe Tornatore was a pretty competent director, despite finding Cinema Paradiso kinda overrated. Don't feel like talking about it. 3/10

Life During Wartime - New Todd Solondz movie, kind of a quasi sequel to Happiness although every character has been recast. Found it kinda underwhelming seeing as most critics seem to have gotten back on the Solondz bandwagon. However, there are a some really good scenes and I love Solondz dark comedy and sympathy for outsiders, I especially loved Trish's zionist love prospect and his neurotic son. A lot of it felt like Solondz doing the same shit though, housewives don't understand the complexity of terrorism, awkward conversations between adults and children yada, yada, yada. Not nearly as funny, poignant, or as audacious as Happiness. 7/10

My Son, My Son What Have Ye Done - A David Lynch, Werner Herzog collaboration is any film buffs dream come true, too bad they couldn't have come to together to make a better film. It's about a mentally unstable man who kills his mother with a sword, then locks himself in his house with hostages. Quirky and weird with some good moments, but not nearly as good as it could have been, the actual hostage scenes were boring and dumb. Herzog did a Q&A session afterwards, so that was kinda cool. 6/10

[PorkSoda]

Duplex - 5/10.

David Cross was the funniest in the movie.

Any bets they make a 'Year Two' and its double as bad.

[Requiem]

9

2/10

An extra point for the animation quality, but the movie was horrible. Can't believe I was so bored in a roughly 75 minute long movie. When it ended, I was both angry and relieved.. Angry because I was like "THAT'S how they're going to end it?" and relieved because it was over finally.

[PorkSoda]

9 - 6/10.

Nah, it was good. It was a bit out there....like...what are the characters supposed to be? It reminded me of a cross between Beowulf and Wall-E. Beowulf because it's characters fighting against some....thing (machine) and Wall-E because it takes place in a similar world and I felt it didn't really need dialogue. IDK, I don't feel like making sense right now....animation was great.

Spaceballs - 8/10.

Get Smart

8/10

Had some funny parts but some of it seemed to be geared towards children.. Steve Carrel was perfectly cast as Maxwell Smart and The Rock is so awesome in that "I'm the baddest dude in the room" major jock character..

[D Mac]

Boondock Saints 9/10

[XL]

The Final Destination 3D - 5/10

Not really judging this as a movie per se. I watch stuff like this and the Saw films just to see how they put the deaths/traps together and see what twist they come up with. It's blatant rinse-and-repeat film making and thus it's hard/pointless judging it as you would a normal release.

This is also the first time I've seen a 3D film. Not that impressed tbh.

[CSL]

(500) Days of Summer - 7.5-8/10

Best romantic comedy I've seen in quite a long time. Both leads are pretty perfect fits for their roles. 'Original' I think would be the right word. Definitely worth seeing.

[PorkSoda]

Cabin Fever (remake) 2/10.

I didn't see the whole thing, but I don't think I need to in order to understand what really went on. It just seemed like it was poorly done and the ending just made you go :wtf:

[Exyle]

The Zombie Diaries - 2/10

I love zombie movies, but this one is just awful. I didn't care about any of the characters (one of which is possibly the worst actor I've ever seen) and the ending leaves you saing, "Huh? That's it?"

The timeline is dreadful, too. It starts out at the end, then goes to the beginning. From the beginning, it moves to a month later, then ten days earlier, and finishes back at the end.

More like Zombie Diarrhea.

Iwouldnt go as far as to say Crank 2 was a 10/10. I enjoyed it and pretty much was like.."it can't get any crazier than this" and it did every time. But as much as I like Jason Statham and Amy Smart is hot, I cant give it a 10.

I might actually have to go see Crank 3D, because they're going to pull off some crazy shit for that.

Conversations With Other Women - 7/10


Very enjoyable, dunno. When I'm in the mood for a 'romance' kinda thing I really dig it, and this one was very spontaneous and believable, not full of overly explained, clunky dialogue.


Pocahontas - 7/10

:$

Yeah I fagged it up last night, sue me.

Pavement: The Slow Century
I have been wanting to see this forever, and now that pavement is getting back together (in australia, england, and new york thus far) Pitchfork put it up on their tv site for this past week, for one week only.

7.9/10

I mean it's straightforward, does what it's supposed to and actually gets the band itself to tell their story.

[PorkSoda]

Can you paint with all the colors of the winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd

I haven't heard that song since like 1st grade. I want to go and youtube it now or something...

The Mummy - 5/10. I liked the third one better....:-\

Shanghai Knights - 5/10

Zombieland - 7.5/10

Redbelt - 10/10. Yeah, its a 10. Wanna fight?

[El Fangel]

Paranormal Activity

8.5./10

---

I woke up in the middle of the night last night and honestly looked around, it creeped me out that much, watch it and you will see why.

[PorkSoda]

Paranormal Activity....

Funny, I was reading the spoilers, explaining the whole movie in detail on the internet this morning, halfway through I got a little scared....I told myself I wasn't afraid as I was turning the lights on in the house....

I wanna go see it.

[Requiem]

Zombieland - 8/10 - Pretty funny, and I liked the way it was done.

The Man From Earth - 9/10 - Not an action movie.. not a thriller.. not even really a drama. All just dialogue between a group of people sitting in a room, telling a story and asking questions, but I really liked the topic and how they handled it. Hugely anti-religious, but whatever.

[Gonzo]

Sex Drive 7/10

[Droford]

Observe and Report 4/10

I feel bad for liking Paul Blart more than this but Paul Blart was at least somewhat funny. There were like, two really good laughs total in O&R and the rest was just entirely stupid.

[Sixx]

Couple's Retreat - 67.48%

Now that's precise.

[FearedSanctity]

Saw VI - 8.5/10

Despite the story for the series probably not being thought out past the first movie, they do a really good job of making it all tie together. Ending was more predictable than past Saws, but decent nonetheless. Great message to this one, too.

Why should anyone get to decide who lives and who dies?

Hitman

1/10

WHAT???


Ok I've never played the game, and I only watched this because of Timothy Olyphant, but what the hell was that?

Bloodwork - 8/10.

Directed by Eastwood, as always solid.

F. Gary Gray directed this and comes through again.

Liked some of the traps and the CEO guy was good. Also marked for Eddie Winslow.

[Triple A]

Where The Wild Things Are - 8/10
Pretty good. Visuals and "feel" of the movie were incredible. Story was pretty good but some parts kinda "dragged." Kept thinking about it and wanting to re-watch it the next day though.

Frownland - 5/10
Dunno. Just felt "mad uncomfortable" for most of this movie. Was pretty much what I expected though. Might possibly be impossible to "really like" this movie.

Visioneers - 4/10
I tried to finish this movie four times. I could not do it. Such a good recipe for a movie, with Zach Galifianakis and pretty good directing and a good concept. But the movie just was really shitty to me. Did not "give a fuck" about it at all. Insanely boring. Gonna try to finish it one last time soon though. Got about 25 mins left.

[ct2k]

Exiled - 8/10


Really enjoyed this. Spaghetti Western style film only set in Macau prior to it being taken over by China again. Surprisingly feel good:y:

[FearedSanctity]

Paranormal Activity - 6/10

The Alamo - 7/10

[Triple A]

A Serious Man - 8/10
New Coen brothers movie. Tremendous. Pretty much about some guy whose life starts falling apart around him and things just keep getting progressively worse. Good stuff.

Mary and Max - 9.5/10
Oh God this was great. Loved this movie so much. :( Claymation about a lil fat girl from Australia who writes letters back and forth to a big fat guy in NYC with Aspergers played by Philip Seymour Hoffman.

[Droford]

House of the Devil - 8/10

Horror movie styled after 70's/80's horror flicks set in the early 80's. Slow build to a pretty crazy ending though it wasn't exactly the ending I was looking for. It was written/directed by Ti West whose only previous claim to fame was doing a Cabin Fever sequel that hasn't been released yet.

This was on HDNet Movies and was one of their "On HDnet before it hits theatres" deals. I wouldn't spend 10 bucks to see it (and chances are your theatre probably wont be showing it anyway) but look for it on DVD when it comes out sometime soon.

[Ogen]

Curious Case of Benjamin Button 7/10

That was a bit mental, went into it with absolutely no idea of anything about it other than Brad Pitt was involved. Quite enjoyed it even if it was crazy.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

9.5/10

[thedamndest]

Paranormal Activity - 6/10

I liked it because it was different from traditional horror movies, but at the same time that made it not scary at all. Worth a dollar theater trip or downloading I guess.

[Requiem]

Curious Case of Benjamin Button 7/10

That was a bit mental, went into it with absolutely no idea of anything about it other than Brad Pitt was involved. Quite enjoyed it even if it was crazy.

The blu-ray is pretty good. It looks pretty incredible during certain scenes.

[Requiem]

Also, I would give Paranormal Activity an 9/10. I found it particularly creepy. Apparently there are different versions of the movie that have a lot of differences. Theatrical and DVD were different. Some screeners were different. Like, a few endings floating around.

The one I watched was where she gets shot by the cops at the end.. whole movie fucking creeped me and all my buddies out that were watching it there. Hella creepy movie for a lot of reasons.

Mostly, I really liked this movie because not very many movies really make my skin crawl like this did.

[El Fangel]

Apparently the others are

- She kills the dude and is never seen again
- She kills dude and cuts throat on camera

[Requiem]

^Yep. Just did some reading about the other endings. Honestly one of the better movies I've seen all year.

[El Fangel]

I rather liked it, first time in awhile I felt my money was worth it at the movies.

[PorkSoda]

Childs Play - 8/10.

FIrst time I've seen it in a long long time from beginning to end. I mostly saw this movie on TV in bits and pieces. The part where chucky is in the fireplace at the end is so unintenionally funny. Me and my friend were cracking up at it.

[Loose Cannon]

The Proposal: 7/10

Some funny moments, but it's your standard chick flick type movie


Orphan: 8.5/10

Great fucking twist in this one. very clever. It reminded me of Good Son, especially with the whole tree house thing and the frozen pond. The girl who played the Orphan is a really good actress for being 12 years old

[CSL]

Runaway Jury - 7/10

Enjoyable enough, nicely paced, story was pretty good. Any film with John Cusack, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman and Jeremy Piven deserves to be better though

[thedamndest]

The Candyman - 6/10 - In some ways not your typical slasher flick. Candyman is a very polite killer.

[OssMan]

Also, I would give Paranormal Activity an 9/10. I found it particularly creepy. Apparently there are different versions of the movie that have a lot of differences. Theatrical and DVD were different. Some screeners were different. Like, a few endings floating around.

The one I saw she threw the dude at the camera and then crawled back into the room and just stuck her face into the camera and it ended right there

[Requiem]

The one I saw she threw the dude at the camera and then crawled back into the room and just stuck her face into the camera and it ended right there

There is a third ending, where she kills him and then walks into the room again and cuts her own throat and then drops dead on the floor.

[PorkSoda]

Marley and Me - 7/10. The ending is sad.

Miss March - 4/10

[Boondock Saint]

Skid Row 4/5

[El Fangel]

Saw 4 - 5/10 - Meh.

[Emperor Smeat]

Saw VI - 7 out of 10. Crowd I was with ended up laughing more during the film than being surprised especially during the merry-go-round trap.

Only seen Saw I & II before VI in the series but IV had some decent scenes.

[El Fangel]

Saw IV - 7 out of 10. Crowd I was with ended up laughing more during the film than being surprised especially during the merry-go-round trap.

Only seen Saw I & II before IV in the series but IV had some decent scenes.

I do believe you have the wrong Saw here.

The ending of IV

The ice smashed the dude to bits and the detective dude locked the other detective dude in the room with Jigsaw

[Emperor Smeat]

I do believe you have the wrong Saw here.

The ending of IV

The ice smashed the dude to bits and the detective dude locked the other detective dude in the room with Jigsaw

oh dam didn't notice the mistake. Yeah I saw Saw 6 and not the 4th one.

[Downunder]

Zombieland

3/10

It was better when it was Shaun of the Dead

[CSL]

State of Play 8/10 - Just a lot of fun

Requiem For A Dream 8/10 - Great film. Not sure Jared Leto was the best choice for it though. A stronger performance/actor could have tipped this over the edge.

Cirque du Freak: Vampires Assistant - B+


I instantly was interested in this movie after seeing the previews. I knew nothing of a book series attached to this story, just that John C. Reilly playing a vampire would be awesome. I was right. While this is not "riveting" in any way, I really liked this film.

Here we have 2 high school boys who visit the Cirque Du Freak show while it was touring their town. After a mishap, one boy (Massoglia) has to become the head vampires assistant in order to save the life of his friend. From there, the young boy must become a half-vampire & carry out the wishes of his new master (Reilly).

It is very interesting and original in the idea that we get a detailed look at the inner workings of a true side show attraction. We see monkey girls, bearded ladies, giant dancing spiders, giant brained men & even a lady who can regenerate body parts. The mood is very dark yet the plot opens up just enough to entertain your senses. At times I was gripping my chair, at other times I was lost in the concept and characters & other times I would lend out a laugh. While the tone is a bit dark, this movie is great for vampire movie fans roughly aged 14-26. The younger crowd might not be interested in the cast while older vamp fans might call this movie campy. To me, it falls right in the middle of each realm.

The book series is readily available online and I plan on reading each of the 12 in the series. While this movie is critically panned & the box office intake has not been wonderful, I hope to see this franchise continue to watch where it goes from here.

[The Jayman]

Shoot Em Up----7/10

Decent action flick. Plot was kind of lame but the action/gun sequences were pretty good

[D Mac]

Crank 2: 7/10

Some fucked up shit in this.

[Loose Cannon]

Transformers 2: 6/10

meh, it was ok I guess. You could tell they really didn't put much effort into the storyline here. The new Autobots were really dull.


GI Joe: 8./10

I thought this was pretty good. The First hour seemed a little rushed like there was not really much going on with the plot other then things blowing up. But they did slow it down and showed some good flashbacks and built towars the ending. I really liked the last half hour with the two villians eventually becoming Cobra Commander and Destro. I was hoping to see my favorite GI Joe when they were in the snow. The guy with the skis. I forget his name now. But all in all, good first movie

[IrishBulldozer]

I LOVE YOU, BETH COOPER



This movie brings back so much to my memory. This movie easily fits in the same vein as The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink & 16 Candles. We have the underdog with the quirky sidekick trying to win the love and affection of the cool girl in school. Much like John Hughes' films of the 80's, the plot is paper thin but what makes the movies work so well is the character development & the need to see the plucky nobody succeed.

Christopher Columbus directs Hayden Pannetierre & & Paul Rust as the squirmy Denis Cooverman & the insatiable Beth Cooper. At graduation, Rust delivers a rousing speech to his fellow classmates that is definately character defining & the most important part of this film. From there he berates the class bitch, the dumb jock, the dim witted bully among others.

His world changes forever when the love of his life, Beth Cooper, shows up at his house with a few girlfriends for a graduation party. From there we have cheeky car chases, wet towel battles & several prat falls leading to the moment where Beth & Denis get to the heart of the matter....Why does he love a girl he has never even talked to!?

The sub characters in this film are pretty great. I didn't expect much from the female counterparts as the focus was on Beth, but all sub-characters brought necessary humor & counterpoint to the film. I especially dug Denis' best friend played by Jack Carpenter. He was funny in the same vein that Adam Brody was funny on The OC.


All in all this movie was pretty cool. Not amazing, not a real standout, but if your ever feeling nostalgic for a vintage John Hughes flick, this is a modern take on his genius.


RATING: B or 6.5/10

[thedamndest]

[McLegend]

Matrix Revolution - 6/10

Horrible

[Vastardikai]

Machine Girl: 9/10

Fun. Violent, over the top. Plot was kind of bleh, but I wasn't watching for the plot. I was watching for hilariously brutal kills.

[PorkSoda]

The Calbe Guy - 8/10.

First time I've seen this in a while....hilarious and physco at the same time.

[mitch_h]

Hunger - Really haunting movie about Billy Sands hunger strike. Amazing directing by a guy named Steve Mcqueen, apparently he's a "video artist" so I was expecting the movie to be like some gay music video or something, but he had a unique and interesting vision. Michael Fassbender was incredible as well, the amount of weight he lost was really disturbing... definetly rivals Bale's weight loss in The Machinest 8/10

[Buzzkill]

The Proposal: 7/10

Some funny moments, but it's your standard chick flick type movie


Orphan: 8.5/10

Great fucking twist in this one. very clever. It reminded me of Good Son, especially with the whole tree house thing and the frozen pond. The girl who played the Orphan is a really good actress for being 12 years old
Bro the Orphan has the worst twist of any movie I have ever seen.

[PorkSoda]

Mission Impossible - 8/10.

Yeah, my first time seeing this. It kind of lost me, but it was great.

[Loose Cannon]

Bro the Orphan has the worst twist of any movie I have ever seen.

I disagree.

That would be Sixth sense cause I called that shit 45 mins into the movie :rant:

[Loose Cannon]

Taking of Pelham 123

8.5/10. I had a personal like for it because it took place in NY and I thought it was a good story. It was weird seeing Chris Partlow from the Wire in it and he was a good guy.



The movie with Katherine Hiegal and Gerard Butler: 6/10. My wife wanted to watch this one. It was decent I guess. Some funny parts, especially Gerard's character. He has some great lines about what guys are thinking when they meet girls. It's a great date movie for all you single people out there.


Trick 'R Treat: 9/10: Cool film. It went direct to DVD and you may of seen commercials for it. It's a movie that has 5 stories woven together and it all comes together at the end. If you like horror films, I recomend this one. It reminded me of Tales from the Crypt.

[XL]

The Strangers - 6.5/10

Triangle - 7.5/10

I found both of these films hard to rate. Probably felt a little short-changed as neither film has a conclusive ending.

[thedamndest]

LC, you should check out the original Taking of Pelham 123, especially if you liked the remake due to the NY feel. The original does a much better job of making the city itself a character. Plus it has Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw.

[Juan]

2012 - 6/10

Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Pretty good popcorn flick

[Tb1]

2012

Story's pretty empty but I wasn't surprised. The CGI pieces are absolutely beautiful. By the end I was really hoping for more people to get wiped out.

6.5/10

[Schlomey]

Pirate Radio

7/10

Good film. Hoffman & the supporting cast (including half of shaun of the deads supporting cast) & Rhys Darby made this film awesome. Possibly the best ensemble of characters so far this year.

Just watched New Moon. Not too bad. kinda cheesy.

[Jon Kano]

Yeah, I saw Twilight with my gf, I thought of of the scenes were as cringe-worthy you would find in the UK version of The Office.

synechdone ny- 9/10


max and mary was pretty great. I agree with your rating.


S/NY I attempted to watch but had to quit after he pissed the blood. Maybe I'll finish this one as I loooove me some Hofffman.


Good taste in movies lad.
