• Where the Wild Things Are (2009) 4.5/5

  2010-03-11 22:09

  Definitely not for young children. Adolescents and up. I loved the creatures. Wonderfully emotional and explorational.

• Wanted (2008) 4.5/5

  2010-03-09 09:49

  Actually not a bad movie at all! Read reviews likening it to The Matrix, but this film had a much different feel to it. I liked the breaking of the fourth wall.

• Beat the Devil (1953) 2/5

  2010-02-28 15:42

  Many of the lines were cheesy. Some of the acting was straight up bad. Watched it in segments during various dinners. I don't think it would be good in one sitting. Some scenes did make me laugh.

  0.3

• Triangle (2009) 4/5

  2010-02-28 15:41

  I had no expectations coming into this movie. Some parts freaked me out--as in, you don't know what's coming so it's scaring you. On the whole, an interesting film. I'm not sure I understood the ending.

• Law Abiding Citizen (2009) 4/5

  2010-02-24 18:56

  WARNING: RAPE SCENE
  Beginning scene is not great--just makes me feel really uncomfortable. Getting over this part, though, the movie was good. The ending was a SEVERE let-down.

  0.3

• The Wolfman (2010) 3.5/5

  2010-02-14 21:13

  There were a couple parts that made me chuckle, not because they were intended to be funny, but because either the effects were bad, the movie cut in an awkward way, or the lines were cheesey. These were minor problems, though. Overall, I thought it was okay. The ending was left open somewhat, which usually means they left it so for the possibility of a sequel. There should be no sequel to this film. Wait for DVD and watch it when you're bored. Sorry, Benicio.

  0.3

• Zombieland (2009) 5/5

  2010-02-04 21:21

  I was pleasantly entertained. Provides comedic relief to the seriousness of other zombie flicks.

  I didn't even finish this shit. What a horrible movie.

  0.3

• Easy Virtue (2008) 3.5/5

  2010-01-12 22:30

  Found out there is an Alfred Hitchcock original version of this movie--I'll have to check it out.
  
  This version was okay. A few parts made me laugh, but I think the last half hour of the movie could have been improved. I didn't quite expect that ending, so I'll have to see how Hitchcock did it.

  0.3

• The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) 3/5

  2010-01-07 19:44

  I did not have any expectations. I have never seen the 1951 original and after viewing this one, I wonder at going backwards---I think the special effects go a long way for this story.
  
  It was an okay movie, but I don't think I'll watch it again.

  0.3

• Carriers (2009) 4/5

  2010-01-06 09:40

  What the disease is or how it all started are never explained, and they don't really need to be in order for this film to be successful. It's quite enjoyable.
  
  You follow four people, two of them brothers, on their trip to the ocean. Along the way you meet other characters and you get glimpses of what has happened and how life is now.

  0.3

• The Principal (1987) 2.5/5

  2010-01-02 18:30

  WARNING: ATTEMPTED RAPE SCENE
  
  White loser drunk male saves students of color. It's like Stand and Deliver (1988), but with a white teacher who's forced to play principal.
  
  "Hey man, who do you think you are?!"
  [...]"I'm the Principal, man!"
  
  Yes, you hoped the "good guys" won, but really, watch Stand and Deliver for a better education-related film.

  0.3

• August, 2009

• District 9 (2009) 2.5/5

  2009-08-16 13:59

  This movie left me feeling rather off. There were points of good commentary on apartheid and social relations, however, it WAS just a film taking a new twist on the aliens vs humans plot.

  0.3

• July, 2009

• The Big Lebowski (1998) 4/5

  2009-07-27 10:50

  First watched this back in 2004/2005? Watched again 07/27/09.
  Kept thinking Goodman would have a heart attack or something, given how intense his character had to be. Good movie, but not one of my favorite Coen Brothers productions.

  0.3

• The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) 3.5/5

  2009-07-24 11:37

  Interesting perspective on the end of the life of Jesse James. Good 'ole Brad Pitt and his laugh.

  0.3

• The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) 2.5/5

  2009-07-22 12:03

  Warning: Rape Scene
  
  This version of the Boleyn sisters' story is quite different from the BBC version(s). King Henry does not seem as much in love with Anne as in the other versions. I would not watch this again, whereas I love to watch the BBC versions.

  0.3

• He Was a Quiet Man (2007) 1.5/5

  2009-07-21 12:32

  The DVD stopped playing about half-way in, and I did not try to finish it. It opens with Slater's character doing a voice-over regarding how great it used to be (as in the 1950s) when men were men, before women's lib. Not a great start. It was also rather boring. I did not like this film and was disappointed, as I like Slater.

  0.3

• Man on Fire (2004) 4/5

  2009-07-21 12:31

  Good performance by Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning plays a good, smart character. I did not like all the religious undertones.

  0.3

• Æon Flux (2005) 4/5

  2009-07-20 12:29

  Good sci-fi flick based upon the animated teevee series. Not as erotic, but good acting all the same!

  0.3

• The Fugitive (1993) 1/5

  2009-07-18 00:11

  I didn't get to finished this as the disc from the library was rather scratched and my drive couldn't read it fully. But still. Not a great film.

  0.3

• Rendition (2007) 4/5

  2009-07-16 00:14

  I admit I picked up "Rendition" because it has Jake Gyllenhaal in it and I'm a sucker for his eyes. He plays an "observer" with the US government, sent as a replacement to a torture/interview of a terrorism suspect. Reese Witherspoon was, surprisingly, not a ditz in this film, but I felt her character was rather insignificant to the whole plot. Aramis Knight was good, although his character did not speak much, unless you count the screaming and groaning. I think this film gives a good statement on governmental torture, illegal seizure of citizens/residents, and government disavowal. I really wanted someone to smack Meryl Streep's character.

  2009-06-18 20:53

  I remember when this came out it had some press, and it's been on Hulu for a while; I've just never checked it out. It was surprisingly good.

  0.3

• Resident Evil (2002) 3.5/5

  2009-06-17 20:57

  Good story line, but kinda fake in parts regarding the special effects and some of the dialogue could have been reworked. But, for an apocalyptic series, worth watching.

  0.3

• Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) 4/5

  2009-06-17 20:57

  Good follow-up story. Little bit cheesey in parts, yet again. Who worked on the dialogue?!

  2009-05-02 19:38

  Fantastic. I've never been into the comic book version of X-Men, but I've loved the movies. This one is an excellent back story, and paves the way for more. I hope they cover more characters!

• The Hindenburg (1975) 4/5

  2009-04-19 02:19

  Good production. Good acting. I think it would be better with German actors and English subtitles, since the American actors are supposed to be German anyway.

  0.3

• The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) 1.5/5

  2009-04-18 02:18

  Eh. It's so hard to make a great trilogy. This one is much worse than the first and second. They changed the wife! The wife is not played by the same actor! I HATE THIS. It was also very hokey. And, the women had to be Helpless and be saved by the men. Puke. Skip it.

  0.3

• The Mummy Returns (2001) 3/5

  2009-04-18 02:17

  Much better than the first. The lead female role actually gets some action, although she's captured and has to play the Helpless Woman role for a short time.

  0.3

• The Mummy (1999) 2.5/5

  2009-04-17 02:15

  Eh. The female lead plays the Helpless Woman role with the male lead playing Will Save All role. Story was a bit hokey.

  0.3

• Solaris (2002) 4/5

  2009-04-07 21:27

  Still confusing, but not as confusing at the Tarkovsky 1972 original. I'd say this version made it 98% more clear what the hell was going on.
  
  But I still don't understand it.

  0.3

• Pride & Prejudice (2005) 4/5

  2009-04-01 13:19

  Not as great as the 1995 version with Colin Firth and it did not follow the novel as well, either. Still, it was a decent remake and worth a viewing.

  2009-03-23 01:29

  Wow. There's that twist I was not expecting. And the whole spooky and keeping me waiting for what's going to happen thing. But WTF's up with all the Christian shit? Would have been a 5-star sci-fi if not for the religious influence.

  0.3

  Bill Murray does serious, or kinda serious, acting. As in, somewhat dramatic. Not too shabby.

  0.3

• Liar Liar (1997) 2/5

  2009-03-07 20:38

  Although there is a child actor in this movie, it is so not appropriate for children. Jim Carrey is, I guess, Jim Carrey in this movie. I watched it again recently and I didn't much care for it. Crappy White entertainment mixed with sexism pushed off as comedy.

  0.3

• Toy Soldiers (1991) 2.5/5

  2009-03-06 20:35

  Bad boys being bad yet making up for it by saving the day. There are several occasions of bad acting. Maybe the early Nineties really were that cheesy, or adolescent boys are that cheesy; some scenes made me uncomfortable because they were so bad.

  2009-03-02 21:35

  I had no inclination to ever watch this epic film, but I received this as a gift and was bored one day. I did not realize/remember there were three parts to it, so I was pissed at having to wait until I got the second movie to finish the story. Then I was even more pissed when I learned I had to wait for the third to truly end it. LOTR is a rather good fantasy film, I must admit; at times a bit too christian, though.

  The meaning of Robert Neville being a legend is totally skewed in this version. Also, religion played no part in the story; that was apparently added to boost audience numbers for the movie.
  
  Still, if you are a fan of apocalyptic films, this should be seen at least once. Some scenes did make me jump.
