Troy 5/10

Hated the changes they made.

Pineapple Express 3/5

Taken 10/10

Badass movie. Seriously. Once it got going, it kept going. No bullshit, just straightforward action with a good story. No cheesy ending either.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno: 6.5/10

Good but not great. Didn't care much for how the comedy fell off during the end of it.

Appaloosa 3/5

Casualties of War 9/10

Death Race 3/10 — Eh, the only points it gets is for the cars with guns a la Twisted Metal but even then, just your typical Statham movie.

Mirrors 7/10

:mad:

The Spy Who Loved Me - 3/5

I've finally seen all the Bond movies.

The Facts of Life (1960: ) 10/10

The Wrestler - 10/10

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - 7/10

You have horrible taste in life.

Really? I loved this movie. Like, everything about it.

You know what? I missed the first 20 minutes and then about 10 minutes somewhere in the middle. I could have rewound, but it was kind of late so I just plowed through. I really dropped the ball here.

The cinematography was amazing, and Casey Affleck was brilliant. Pitt was pretty comfortable in his role as James, but he was definitely outshined by Affleck in this one. I thought it was a really gritty, somewhat brutal representation of things that went on back there. They did a good job, I thought, of showing just how ruthless he was, while still remaining very human and likeable.

My only complaint was that it was so long, but I am ok with long movies as long as they are good.

Pretty much everyone I know refuses to even give it a shot, because they know that Affleck's character will kill James and they hate the fact that a 'pussy is gonna kill a badass'. But then, most of them have horrible taste in movies majority of the time, so I don't expect them to enjoy it anyways.

I think my favorite bit of the film involves James' body, when they are taking pictures of it and then turning it into a spectacle. The whole shot of people watching while the narrator talks about how much money was offered for the corpse while Ford went on to "assassinate James over 800 times" was a brilliant role reversal. I think that worked so well because most of what Jesse did in the movie wasn't shown, so he isn't "that bad." Unless I missed that part at the beginning.

Rodney is fucking hilarious asshole. :foc:

It's more the fact that you rated Beer For My Horses 7/10 and went on to defend Death Race.

It was a twofer.

Death Race is action. I like action.

Death Race was quite enjoyable

The Wrestler - 5/5
Notorious - 3.5/5
The Fly - 4/5
No Country For Old Men - 2/5
Bug - 2.5/5
Cloverfield - 4/5
Quarantine - 3/5
The Prestige - 5/5
The Usual Suspects - 4/5
The Mist - 3/5

Taken - 3.5/5

Pretty good movie. But I felt that there were some loose ends that should have been tied up.

That and the trailer for Cena's movie made me kinda depressed.

RocknRolla - 7/10

Guy Ritchie delivers a enjoyable movie, not as good as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch though.

I knew as I was rating that movie in this thread that you would be a fan. I guess shitty movies got to have their fans too. :D

Death Race is just an action movie. If you want to see some cool explosions, car crashes, and racing, watch it. If you're expecting anything more than that, then forget it about. Like Ian Mcshane says in the movie "Fast cars, pretty women, its all about the ratings."

Natalie Martinez in that movie was :drool:

Wanted 6/10.

Better than I expected, but was kind of expecting more. Thought there should have been more ridiculous action scenes like the one in the beginning. I'm not a fan of Angelina Jolie, but I thought she did good in this.

Last line in the movie is inspirational.

Fixed.

Also:

The Wrestler 10/10

The Prestige 250000000000000000000000/10

Captivity - 4/10

The only thing that was watchable was Elisha Cuthbert's rack.

Seriously, avoid this movie like the plague.

Thanks for the heads up mate :y:

Def. agree about the prestige. Great flick. One of my friends didn't like it at all, and his excuse was that he couldn't follow what was going on.

I :lol:ed and then proceeded to talk about how awesome it was with another friend who loved it.

Req, is this one of the guys who won't give Jesse James a shot because he knows the ending?


Ben Hur-8.5/10 - So long. Great movie, but dated. What I mean by that is that every generation has some image of what they think the Roman empire should look and sound like. Imparting the 1959 look and dialogue to it is something to get over at first, but the story and the characters hold up. But as good as this was, If I'm going to watch a "classic," I'd rather watch something that was filmed in the time rather than a historical work.

Alien vs Predator: Requiem - 5/10

Just a series of bloody scenes with very little attempt at telling a story. Also found certain choices of victims distasteful (kids, pregnant women? c'mon...). Some cool visuals (Predator home planet!) and one interesting poke at mythology (Ms. Yutani, huh?), but ultimately a badly shot wasted effort. Still waiting on a decent AvP movie, I guess.

Trivia: The subtitle, "Requiem", refers to the title track in the score that merges the two movie icon's scores. In that sense it also refers to the Predalien (which looked great).

Yes, actually. One of the friends I was referencing, in fact. He has 'some' good taste in movies, but generally we have pretty different tastes. He has a ridiculously short attention span when it comes to movies.. refuses to watch There Will Be Blood because he thinks it looks boring.. didn't like No Country for Old Men.

The Foot Fist Way 8/10

Very similar to Napoleon Dynamite in terms of cinematography, but had some really funny and awkward moments.

No problem sir!



Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder - 8/10

Good ol' Futurama, it never disappoints me.

The Game - 3/5
City Of God - 4/5
12 Monkeys - 2.5/5

Ratatouille 7/10 - Alright.. could have been better, but I enjoyed watching it.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 10/10 - Never saw this until earlier today, and loved it.
