Someday my children will grow up and allow me to go to the theater again

Inception |
|
|
Just fantastic filmmaking. Great cast for the thinking man's populist director. |
|
2.
|
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World |
|
|
Not only a nearly perfect adaptation of the source material, but an unique, funny, smart movie in it's own right. Is Edgar Wright the most self-assured filmmaker working? |
|

|
Toy Story 3 |
|
|
Funny, exciting and heart-warming. Everything you'd expect from Pixar and the franchise. |
|
4.
|
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I |
|
|
Continued excellence despite the lack of a natural ending. The core cast has grown into their roles nicely. |
|
5.
|
Kick-Ass |
|
|
Funny action movies don't usually double as adaptations of satirical comic books. They also don't usually feature a little girl as the biggest ass-kicker. |
|
6.
|
Iron Man 2 |
|
|
Keeps the tone and fun of Iron Man, attempts to add too many storylines. Still terrific, just would have been better with less. Top notch cast. |
|
7.
|
Cemetary Junction |
|
|
Sentimental and funny. Great work from writer/directors Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais. |
|
8.
|
Youth in Revolt |
|
|
More good work from Cera. The film leaves out a lot of the book but is still effective and funny. |
|
9.
|
Hot Tub Time Machine |
|
|
Riotously funny in parts, but slow in others. About what you'd expect from a movie based on a clever title. |
|
10.
|
Cop Out |
|
|
Very funny in parts. Trying too hard in other parts. Fun 80s cop movie homage. |
|
11.
|
The Losers |
|
|
The cast does what it can with this wildly implausible and ridiculous adaptation of the Vertigo comic. Enjoyable if you don't pay too much attention. |
|
12.
|
The Expendables |
|
|
Unrelentingly terrible. A movie this ridiculous should at least wink at the audience. At a minimum, it shouldn't take itself so seriously. |
