Expendables - 5/5 As fucking as this is, a sequel where "Mr. Church" is the villain, and Van Damme finally joins, and they're trying to get Ray Park, Mr T, Hulk Hogan, Dwayne Johnson, and Vin Diesel involved sounds too good to be real. And if I can read Stallone's mind well enough; if this movie was a Justice League of action heroes, Expendables 2 will be JLA vs Avengers. A fuckin battle royal of action guys. I can't wait. The Last Air Bender - 3/5 I can't detail what I dislike about the movie without sounding like a geeky child-boy again so on a positive note: the movie improves in the second half, the effects are stunning, and I like the cast for the most part. Rather not get into what I find to be negatives now. As expected, this movie isn't nearly the train wreck people made it out to be. Splice - 5/5 Pretty insane mind-fuck of a movie. Predators - 4/5 This one also makes me more excited for a future sequel. It certainly feels like Predator, but like Superman Returns it's a bit heavy on the original movie worship. Given the budget, this really should/could have been the second Predator movie. Now that it's honored with a proper sequel, I wonder where they can take this. |
Star Trek: Insurrection - 67
Star Trek: Nemesis - 70 Not a memorable story in Insurrection. Plus some lame effects also. And camerawork. There was one scene where to get the effect to look like the ship was flipping around, they just rotated the camera over and over. Pretty "amerature" stuff. Nemesis was a big "meh". Kinda a bummer when blank dies but he blanked his blanks to blank so that he may live on. Might rewatch the J.J. Abrams version now. |
In Order:
Star Trek: First Contact - 80 Star Trek III: The Search for Spock - 78 Star Trek Generations - 77 Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - 77 Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - 75 Star Trek: Nemesis - 70 Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - 70 Star Trek: The Motion Picture - 68 Star Trek: Insurrection - 67 Star Trek Travels Back in Time to Save Whales - 17 |
Winter's Bone - About a 17 year old girl who searches for her meth-dealing father in the Ozark mountains. This was great and for some reason I love movies set in desolate parts of America full of disgusting hicks. The main girl was really good too, I think she's playing Mystique in the X-Men prequel. 8/10
Revanche - Not following the rules of the thread title because this is a rewatch but this movie is incredible. A neo-noir about a guy who tries to rob a bank with his prostitute girlfriend, a cop kills her while they escape - he retreats to his grandfather's country house, that just so happens to be in the same village as the cop that killed his girlfriend. This is a one of a kind "revenge" flick, where aside from some hate fucking nothing really happens, but it still manages to be heavy on tension. |
Cloverfield - 4/5
I went the whole way here, browsing through those marketing websites. Loved the whole experience and then saw the "secrets" on youtube. Awesome stuff. |
|
Unstoppable - 7/10.
Great cast although I thought the man vs. train plot kinda sucked in a way. |
In what way?
|
A-Team - 5/5
Solid action movie. |
Kick-Ass - 5/5
A touch too long, and it's a Hit-Girl movie in the last act. |
Clash of the Titans - 8/10
Visually stunning, enjoyable enough story. |
Frost/Nixon - 9/10
Great film. I've still not seen Milk but Sean Penn had better be pretty special in it to have gotten the Oscar over Frank Langella in this. 'Beautifully shot' also. |

I never feel like I've been able to look at Mickey Rourke 'objectively' in The Wrestler just because I was pulling for him to win so hard strictly because he'd been in a film about a wrestler. I guess in my eyes nothing could top his performance but at the same time I never thought he'd win because it'd be 'too good to be true' or something.
|
I'm pretty sure he put in the best performance that year though. In my opinion. I do have my built in interest in wrestling, but I viewed it pretty objectively.
I'm more of a movie fan than a wrestling fan anyways. I was excited about The Wrestler as a film more than anything. I don't think I was even on a wrestling kick at that time. |
I maintain that Necro Butcher should have gotten a Best Supporting Actor nomination

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows part 1
I have not read any of the books but I totally enjoyed EVERY one of the Potter movies. I understood going in that this movie was part 1 of a 2 part finale to the series so I didn't expect the exact same magic as we are used to. I also knew going in that the writer/director didn't want to piss off a bunch of fanboys by leaving out tons of details from this huge installment. Still...I didn't like the movie at all really. Tons of hiding. Tons of talking. The few action sequences were very well done but they were so few and far between and not a lot really happened in part 1. Easily the weakest in the series. 5/10 |
Fucking knew before opening this thread that Schlomey would be talking about Harry Potter.
|
O- 8/10
Featured Julia Stiles Mekhi Phifer and Josh Hartnett. Based on Othello. Really good flick |
Roxer Cocker it was Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home. And it was a good movie. :foc:
Grown Ups: 8/10 |
The Descent: Part 2
5/10 Yeah, nowhere near as good as the first. A little campy at times, plus, you already know about the creatures in this one, so the surprise, and in turn, the pacing is gone. Seriously, Descent has probably one of the best slow builds of any horror movie I've ever seen. Second one throws it out the window for typical horror cliches. Still kind of a fun watch though. |
That black chick was kinda cute.
|
Juno was hotter.
|
Was that the crazy bitch?
Anyway I feel Descent 2 kinda 'missed the point'. I'd call it a rushed sequel. Not a rushed production, everything looked okay - but a rushed concept. I'm sure they could have made a better scenario. |
Quote:
Since the first was so much like Alien, maybe they could have just copied the Aliens approach for a sequel. I loved the first Descent, but I really have had no interest to check this one out. Maybe I will eventually. |
Predators - It was alright I guess, I didn't expect anything as good as the original just something fun and somewhat competant. Thought the end was pretty much tensionless and predictable though. 6.5/10
Still Walking - Love this director, very much inspired by the films of Yasujiro Ozu. It's about a family getting together to commemorate the death of one of the family members. Really simple but beautiful story dealing with repressed resentments. 9/10 |

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 1: 7.5/10
I really enjoyed it, except for the setup ending. Looking forward to Part II |
Death at a Funeral (The black version) - 7/10
Not a lot of great lines, mostly physical comedy. Meh. |
Scott Pilgrim vs The World - 5/5
Not sure what genre this goes under but it was pretty fucking awesome. |
Quote:
Face/Off - 8/10. The Chase - 7/10. I might go see Megamind later :D |
127 Hours - 9/10
Mad good. Felt very "inspirational." Pretty much just James Franco trapped by a rock for 95% of the movie, amazing. |
Harry Potter 7 (a): 6/10
Better than I expected |

knucklehead - 2/5
It's something you'd watch in the waiting room. It's got a light small chuckle here and there, but I found myself wondering if anything really funny would happen. Then they kept tossing in all this feel good/love storyline stuff. Next thing I know the movie ended. The best thing I watched was The Big Show showing off his bus in the extras. |
Get Him to the Greek - 8/10
Way funnier than I thought it would be. |
Repo Men - 7/10
did not like the ending that much though I saw it coming..also thought that it would have been 10x better with Jason Statham in the lead. |
Morning Glory: 5.5/10 Better than I thought it would be, enjoyable, light hearted movie. I like Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams so Im not surprised I enjoyed watching it.
Nothing special, but there are alot worse movies out there |
Assault on Prescinct 13 - Talking about the 1976 John Carpenter version not the shit remake. Pretty incredible grindhouse type movie, loved the minimalist synth score and the political incorrectness. This scene is pretty insane and not safe for work.

Get Him to the Greek 4/5
Hilarious. Diddy was outstanding. |
Van Wilder: Freshman Year 2.5/5
It was just like all the extra American Pie movies. |
The Expendables - 8/10
Served its purpose as a good time waster. |
Scott Pilgrim - 86
The Expendibles - 70 |
All Good Things- 7.5/10

Clash of the Titans
2/10 It was that or Eclipse on the movie channels in the hotel I stayed at last night. What a load of shit. |
Bigger, Faster, Stronger 8.5/10
|
Star Slammer - 100
Not really. A lot of slow points made it difficult to watch sometimes. Still tremendously aweful. |
Due Date - 7/10
Not bad. |

nightmare on elm st 2010 version - 5/10
love and other drugs - 7/10 |
Watched Dear Zachary. It's sad no doubt but the guy making the film fucks it over completely with his editing, the score, the 'murder scene' etc (which annoyed me a lot, adds fuck all and it's almost there for shock value which might be okay if the guy wasn't his best friend), dunno, the cynic in me thinks he just got a bit 'carried away' in trying to make it into too much of a 'movie' when he already has a 'perfect' story right there. The first 40-50 minutes are fantastic and if he'd have kept the same 'tone', it could have been amazing. The stuff about Kate and David at the end is nice too. Overall it's pretty good and I'm sure it made a few people cry but it could have been so much more by almost doing less :-\
|
Shutter Island - 6/10.
Bit too weird and confusing at times and a bit too bleak overall for my liking. |
Expendables 7/10
Jet Li didnt really belong in the movie, Mickey Rourke sitting around a bar not doing anything was pointless. The rest of the group was good and since Im a big Statham fan I was happy that he got 2nd billing behind Stallone. Some of the Special Effects were flat out horrible too, which was kind of distracting. I didnt mind the story as it was pretty decent but nothing original. |
The Town 7/10 - Heard some pretty good things about this movie, and that probably didn't help the movie too much. The movie was good, I was entertained. But from what I heard, everyone seemed to hype it up as a sleeper hit of sorts. It didn't come off that way to me really. If the movie is on or you really don't know what to watch, check it out. Otherwise you aren't missing a bunch really.
|
I thought The Town was excellent. Affleck is gonna be a huge director if he keeps this up.
|
Cyrus 6/10 - The movie had it's moments, but just never clicked for me. Interesting movie non the less, good style and interesting to know apparently all the lines were improvised. Overall, felt it was lacking.
|
The Kids are All Right - 9/10
It was really good. |
The Other Guys - 9/10
|
Masters of the Universe — 7/10
Definitely saw this when I was a kid, but I just watched it on DVD from Netflix yesterday. Every bit as awesome as I remember. |
Waking Sleeping Beauty - 8/10
Toy Story 3 - 10/10 Scott Pilgrim vs The World - 9/10 |
Tron - 49
|
Megamind - 10/10
National Treasure - 2/10. The mystery plot was extremely boring |
National Treasure is a treasure itself. Right up there with Night at the Museum.

Confessions Of A SuperHero - 7/10
Center Stage - 9/10 |

Devil 7/10
Way better than I thought it would be. |
Tropic Thunder - 4 out of 5
Been meaning to see the film for years and finally got around to watching it. |
Predators
7.2 / 10 It was good/enjoyable. |
The A Team 9/10
|
The Decent 2
8/10 |
Prince of Persia: The Muffins of time - 5/10
|
The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader - 2.5/5
It seems with each passing movie, the length of the film gets shorter, and the plot gets duller. |
Green Zone - 3/5
|
Social Network: 2.5/5 Almost put me to sleep. Moral Lesson: Never make internetz serious bizness even if you made a website out of being frustrated over a girlfriend that won't talk to you in real life.

Precious - 8/10

Tron Legacy
7/10 Wasn't fond of the major digital makeup on Jeff Bridges for his younger self, he looked really fake, but I enjoyed the action and the story. I may have enjoyed, or disliked it more, had I seen the original movie. |
Black Swan 9/10
Tron Legacy 4/10 |
Not Another Teen Movie- 7/10
|
Yogi Bear: 7/10
|
The Other Guys 7/10

drag me to hell 7/10

The Expendables - 7/10 would have been higher if Mickey Rourke did anything.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - 8/10 really enjoyed it and I want to pound the girl who plays Envy Adams so bad |
World's Greatest Dad - 9/10 Was a big fan of this movie. Kept putting on watching it. Heard really good things about it as a dark comedy, and wondered how Bobcat did writing/directing it. Was phenomenal, type of movie to leave a bit of a last impression on me. Very well could be my new favorite Robin Williams movie, he is a really fine actor especially in such dark comedies. Can't recommend this movie to everyone though, I see it as a Love it or Hate it type movie I think.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice 8/10

Shrek Forever After - 8/10

I agree with Gene Simmons tweets about this one: "SKYLINE= 8 out of 10." "SKYLINE= a terrific movie. Go see it. Critics didn't like it. They're wrong. Better than CLOVERFIELD...& feels like a follow up. Terrific." |
Easy A - 70
|
Black Swan - 10/10
|
Splinter - 8/10
A nice horror movie with some fresh ideas. |
The Losers - 2.5/5
Your typical 90 minute betrayal action movie. |
The Losers - 7/10. 3/5.
My favorite part was the last like 5 minutes, its one of those scenes in a movie where its an emotional scene and the music comes in and it just fits. "It's a boy. It's a boy, Clay. And he looks just like me" is a great dramatic line. Also, the music and Couger toasting the place makes it a good watch. I watched the scene about 10 times before returning it. SHOOT ME! |

I did that because Clockshot rated it a 2.5/5, and I think it's a 3/5 :D
