Jackass 3D- 10/10

Taken 8/10

Finally saw this. Great flick

Superman 2: Richard Donner Cut - 8/10

Id say its probably a point better than the orignal, I like the way it played out vs the original version. Was surprised that Encore was showing it but pissed off because the HD version was window boxed (black bars around all 4 sides making it extremely small picture, and I might need to rent the blu ray version for the extra stuff.

Red - 9/10.

Never read the comics, but this was great.

Wall Street Money Never Sleeps: 4/10
Started off good, I thought tying it in with the recent market crash was cool, and I was genuinely interested to see what happened with Gekko's character....but

The rest of the movie became so convoluted with the family angle, the stuff with Brolin's character, and the end stunk.

Seems like they had too many ideas to fit into this movie. Also, every character was pretty much a scumbag so there was no rooting interest.

In the first Wall Street, even though Bud was a greedy business guy, I felt like it was because he got caught up in Gekko's world. In this, I felt like Shia is just an asshole (plus its Shia, i cant stand him as it is)

Machete - fuckin' 10/10

I hope the promise of sequels is for real.

Clash of the Titans (2009) - 6.5/10
Not as good as I had hoped or wanted it to be. The battles were pretty good, I liked the one esp against Medusa. But I didn't feel the epicness was there, and the ending was terrible. Both 'end bosses' battles were over in under 5 min, just felt rushed.

The Expendables - 7/10
Pretty good. I liked the stunts and fight scenes. The dialogue was better than most of the cheesy action bullshit than normal. Would've liked to have seen more of Lundgren and Arnie and Willis. And even though the battles at the end was good, there wasn't really an awesome action ending, but was still a decent film to watch.

Resident Evil: Afterlife - 7/10
Pretty good. But it took a while to get going. I was never actually bored and I do like the Resident Evil films. Was funny to see Wentworth Miller behind bars again. I am interested in the whole Umbrella thing and eager to see what they do with the next film. Where is Jill?

Cloverfield - 7/10

A Serious Man - 7/10.

The Town-8/10.

Shutter Island-8/10.

RED

4/5

- Highly entertaining action/comedy
- Mega stars having fun
- Comic book movie to boot.

The Social Network - 8/10

Jackass 8 out of 10

Despicable Me - 6/10

Jonah Hex 7/10 Some good action but nothing special. Would have been like 5 or something if it wasn't for John Malkovich.

If you stayed after the credits she was the blond chick leading the Umbrella "assault". She had one of those "mind control spiders" attached to her.

Seriously, Resident Evil Afterlife was terrible. Ain't gonna rate it cause I turned it off and deleted after about 40 minutes.

I tried to watch the 3rd one once and did the same thing. I don't even remember 2 but I recall it sucked

God damn it, I d/l it.

Red - 7/10.

I'm going to watch Universal Soldier later with Van Damme. I look forward to it.

Social Network: 9/10

Jackass 3D: 8/10

Machete: 8/10

Grown Ups - 7/10

Social Network 10/10

Best CGI in a movie ever, and I loved the ending.

Jackass - 8/10

She's Out of My League - 5/10

Never even finished it.

Perfect Stranger - 6/10

Was alright, nothing special.

Y'know I had no idea that they CGI'd Armie Hammer as both twins. My girlfriend was watching the credits very intently and when I asked her what she was looking at she was looking to see if it was the same actor. I laughed at her for even thinking that...until I realised she was right!

Piranha - 1/100

Jackass 8/10

Stay Cool - 7/10

Identity: 5.5/10 I missed most of the beginning, but thought it was predictable just going by the name of the movie. However, it still managed to grab my interest and see how it all played out

Dazed and Confused - 8/10

The Bounty Hunter - 7/10

- funny but predictable

Law Abiding Citizen - 9/10

The Happening: 2/10

I cant believe anyone signed on to be in this

Pirate Radio - 4.5/5

Good stuff.

Nobody Knows - This is one of the most depressing movies i've seen in a long time. Based on a true story about four children that were abandoned by their mother. Maybe a little long and despite the unusual circumstances it felt like an honest depiction of childhood. It gets more harrowing as it goes on but despite being grim this was excellent.

Jackass 3D - 8/10

Clash of the Titans - 6/10. More or less what I expected. It actually started out much better than I thought it would, but it quickly went downhill.

The production value of it was the biggest strength. They tried to apply Lord of the Rings sized moviemaking to the original story, but it didn't really work out.

The action was okay, but with a weak story and characters, it doesn't have much behind it. The thing that made the original enjoyable was more the stop-animation work of Ray Harryhausen than anything, and obviously that has been traded in for abundant CGI. Good effects, but not the type of monsters I want to see.

Paranormal Activity - 7/10

Batman: Under the Red Hood - 3.5/5

Monsters- 8/10

Pretty interesting I must say.

How shit was the ending, eh? was sooo rushed.

The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest - 5/5

Saw3d - 6/10 the 3d added a little but mostly was unnecessary. Some good traps (the key in stomach/keep quiet was good for the "why wouldnt you shut the fuck up")...but hoffman channeling Jason at the end doesnt fit with the series (though his cunt punt was awesome) also the worst twist ever was obvious and leaves em an out for an 8th movie if they want...

Saw 3D - 7/10

Pretty much what Droford said. The 3D was unnecessary. I'm already sick of 3D.

super size me - some scary shit right there

i went to mcdonald's right after

Groundhog Day - 8/10

Kinda pissed I never saw it before.

Paranormal Activity 2 - 8/10

Iron Man 2- 7.5/10

I liked it, but I didn't love it.

The Fright, Terror, and Thrill Movie Marathon:

Every Halloween my friends and I go over to my friend's place to watch some of our favorite horror movies on the big screen while snacking on food and drinking on drinks. They were all moves I've seen before so I cannot rate any of them in this thread.

Fuck it, I am going to rate them anyway.

Nightmare on Elm Street: 7/10
Nightmare on Elm Street 2: 6/10

Universal Soldier - 3/10.
Hard Target - 8/10.
Social Network - 8/10
Delta Force - 7/10. chuck norris was in this movie. CHUCK NORriS

Seen a slew of good movies recently.

Inception - 9/10
Scott Pilgrim Vs the World - 9/10
Red - 8/10
Social Network - 8/10

Social Network - 10/10

Star Trek: The Motion Picture - 68
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - 77
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock - 78

Capitilism: A Love Story - 70
Man on Wire - 73

Star Trek Travels Back in Time to Save Whales - 17

gtfo

Was funny that George Takei loved San Francisco though

Inception - 10/10

Metallica: Some Kind of Monster - 6/10

lol I honestly thought that was one of the best Star Trek movies. Didn't really care much about the humpback whales, but seeing them try to blend in to the 80s was hilarious.

First Contact and the JJ Abrams reboot were my favorites.
Wrath of Khan was good but not great. Maybe it was too hyped up for me. I too thought Search For Spock was equal to or better than it. Christopher Lloyd as a klingon was pretty mint, and so was that trick they pulled.

The rest kind of sucked.
Those were my assessments after seeing them all for the first time last year. I actually think I still need to see 6.

I'll be on 5 tomorrow. Maybe tonight

I think that one was horrible. Not as bad as the last one before the reboot. Nemesis I believe. It was an abyssmal movie

Wonder what tb1's takes are. Hopefully he stumbles upon this post because I'm not going out of my way to talk to him because I hate him and his guts.

I thought about getting all the Star Trek movies after I watched the remake. Maybe I will do that now.

From Within a decent little horror movie I'd say about 7/10

Wall Street 2: 7/10

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - 70
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - 75

Even though 6 was slow, I enjoyed it. The "spy" plot was kind of predictable I felt. I liked the overall story arc coming to a close (I mean, I THINK. There's like 80 more movies and god knows what they'll encompass). If the Star Trek series ended at 6, it would feel appropriate.

5 was good too. I enjoyed the discovery of "god". I wished there would have been a little more of a conclusion on what it was, how it got there, etc. I'm tired of having blue balls from Lost. Just tell me what shit is, damnit. Also, it sounded like the smoke monster at one point. Maybe that's how Jacob and MIB really started. As Sybok.

Anyway, it was good too. 4 was utter trash.

Toy Story 3 - 5/5

God damn movie made me cry.

SAW 3D: 7/10

Just fun. Great ending, great traps, the 3D filming was very cool, and I enjoyed the hell out of it as a pure guilty pleasure.

Watched a ton of movies while being knocked out with pneumonia

Brainscan 4/10 - Edward Furlong post T2 gets sucked into a hynotizing game that makes you go kill people and then this wierd guy pops out and dances and does shit. Then you find out that none of it really happened cause it was all in the game...whatever.

The Natural 7/10 - Can't believe I never saw this before, but it wasn't nearly as great as all the "Best sports movie" hype Ive heard about it.

Where the Wild Things Are 2/10 - I never liked the book so I dont know how I ended up with this but holy crap is it just..bad. And its like 2 1/2 hours long which means I can't imagine even kids liking it.

Karate Kid Remake - 9/10 - flat out have to say I think that this was a lot better than I thought it would be, even maybe as far as being a tiny bit better than the original.

Star Trek Generations - 77
Star Trek: First Contact - 80

I really liked Generations. Even though it seemed like over half the movie took place in Nexus because it was real slow, I still enjoyed the story. I actually enjoyed the entire Nexus concept and didn't find it corny. Not a huge fan of the series but I could appreciate the dialogue between Piccard and Kirk and the wisdom they shared. I wonder how actual fans feel.

And I think First Contact is the best. Lots of action, lots or effects, an enjoyable story, and time-travel which has become a staple in this franchise. They just travel through time like it aint no thing.

I'll probably watch the last two on Monday.

I'm going to try and get Tb1's thoughts on the movies. But the thought of reading a Tb1 post makes my face contort into a wonderful variety of shapes. I wish there was a :shudder: smiley. It would be used when thinking about Fallen Angel doing sex to his wife and having conversations with Tb1. I'm just going to post a link to this thread in his user profile and try not to start up a dialogue with him. Hopefully he'll just post his thoughts in here and leave immediately without lingering. yeck

Here I go...

Reading a Tb1 post isn't that bad RoXer. Get your knickers in balance.

Unthinkable - 9/10

Holy fucking shit!

Cannibal Holocaust - 4/10

Definitely worthy of all the controversy it created, not for the faint of heart.

A tb1 post is really hard to get through in all fairness

Afro-Samurai (Series and Resurrection) - 4/5

This guy's a black samurai Batman. His whole life's a downer.

Due Date 7/10

Pretty Good. A good movie to keep those waiting for Hangover 2 preoccupied. Not to the Hangover level but decent. Some very funny spots.

Alice in Wonderland - 5/10

the blob (1988 version) 7/10

Hurt Locker - 8.5/10

I finally got around to seeing this after my movie viewing slump last year. Pretty great movie. I don't understand how some people didn't like this. Triple A, I'm looking in your direction.
I suppose maybe some people didn't like it because it didn't have a plot. But I thought that worked since it was just an examination of a particular group of soldiers and life at war. The sequences were all top notch and the suspense was brilliant. I thought it was entertaining as hell.
Jeremy Renner is great.

I also marked for Evangeline Lilly. Making something as simple as grocery shopping sexy, as always.

And peeling carrots

I thought it was pretty boring to be honest. The first few sequences are good but the movie just repeats itself over and over I felt.

I didn't think the main guy really worked. The tone suggested it was to be a realistic film about Iraq, but that guy would have been out the first time he jeopardized himself. I realize that if you take away that element of his character you're just left with a pretty boring movie about a by the book diffuser, but maybe the Iraq war just isn't "sexy" enough to make a good movie about.

I guess he'd only be out if his superior cared about protocol and didn't jerk over him being a wildman. I have a hard time believing there aren't people like that in the Iraq war, or any war

Legion - 3/5

The actors are better than the shit script and aimless direction. Poor man's Terminator with a Constantine flavor. Eh.

Taken - 9/10

Fuck off Bond/Bourne. Neeson is in the house!

fuckin great movie.

Human Centipede - 6/10

Not as..um..disturbing as I thought it would be given all the hype over it. The German Doctor was really creepy though, and the Japanese guy talking in Japanese like the others could understand him was interesting.

Due Date: 6/10

A wash. Though it has a few memorable parts, the thick of the movie is far from laugh out loud funny, struggling for even a chuckle or two. Robert Downey Jr is utterly wasted here and acts as if he knows it throughout the entire movie. The film is more like a bunch of wacky situation strung together on a string than a series of unfortunate accidents that could realistically happen - this movie is all by the numbers. Galifinakis is great here, but the movie rests far too much of its successes on the idea that people will laugh continuously over a flamboyant man-child and his ugly dog to save this film. Don't watch it - wait for the DVD.

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger - 8/10

New Woody Allen movie. Really liked. Didn't want it to end. The casting of Josh Brolin for his part seemed weird, but other than that, pretty sweet ass movie.

Dear Zachary - GO WATCH THIS NOW.

For a documentary like this, it's hard to truly give it a rating out of 10 in the same vein we all have rated movies in the past. This is an extremely powerful movie about a family whose son is murdered. The son, was a well liked man in his late 20's just beginning his career as a doctor. He comes off as the type of man who everyone loves and considers their best friend. He was murdered by his ex-girlfriend. It comes out that his ex was pregnant. She flees to her hometown in Canada. The parents of the victim move out there to begin the process of getting custody of their grandchild.

The film was made by the victims close friend as a way for Zachary, the child to have a sense of who his father was. He goes around the US interviewing everyone the victim has touched in is life, ending up with the Grandparents in Canada. The film is an emotional rollercoaster. It's almost guaranteed the toughest of toughest guys will cry. I really hope that if you read this, you check out this movie. It's the type of movie that will be on your mind for weeks and in some way impact your life.

That is what every1 says. I will watch it in the next few years def.

bigger, stronger, faster 8/10

documentary on steroids and the public's perception on performance enhancement. one of the guys in it died fairly recently, and he used to be a jobber for the wwf
