You Should See This
|
|
1.
|
Iron Man |
|
|
RDJ is perfectly cast for this role and Paltrow is at her best in years. I think I'd rate this equal to or higher than Batman Begins. |
|
2.
|
The Dark Knight |
|
|
Ledger is excellent and I loved the catch-22 theme. Some scenes lacked some needed music. |
|
3.
|
Get Smart |
|
|
The pacing is really well done. This is fun all the way through. Fans of PG comedy and action should enjoy it. |
|
4.
|
Kung Fu Panda |
|
|
I can understand how non-Jack Black fans would skip this, but the editing is sharp and really supplements the comedy. |
|
5.
|
Tropic Thunder |
|
|
Robert Downey Jr. is phenomenal again, but Tom Cruise is mesmerizing in his key scene. There's some great cinematography here. |
|
6.
|
Slumdog Millionaire |
|
|
I was initially put off by the cinematography, but the story really won out by the end. I'd be okay with this winning best picture. |
|
7.
|
In Bruges |
|
|
A European kin to Pulp Fiction, this starts off slow but ends with a bang with some good laughs in between. But also some uneasy politically incorrect ones too. |
|
8.
|
The Pineapple Express |
|
|
Franco is great, maybe my second favorite performance this year after Ledger. Fans of Hot Fuzz will probably like this movie. |
|
9.
|
Ghost Town |
|
|
This is a genre film with no real surprises, but Gervais is very funny. |
|
10.
|
Forgetting Sarah Marshall |
|
|
Not as funny as the trailer suggests and Segel and Kunis have very little chemistry, but it has its moments. I'd compare it to The Break Up. |
|
11.
|
American Teen |
|
|
I was fascinated by this documentary. I don't think challenges to its authenticity lessen it one bit. Highly recommended. |
|
12.
|
Towelhead |
|
|
This movie hits the ground running, juxtaposing humor with strongly discomforting scenes. Peter Macdissi is great. |
|
13.
|
The Bank Job |
|
|
This is a solid caper, notable for the amateurism of the heist. |
|
14.
|
Doubt |
|
|
The movie had me wondering throughout. Adams' Bo Peep is a little much but Hoffman's character is great and Streeps nun is one of film history's all-time villains. |
|
15.
|
Milk |
|
|
Penn is excellent but Brolin also does a great job of showing himself being backed into an emotional corner. |
|
16.
|
Frost/Nixon |
|
|
Langella was good, but I found Sheen more interesting and I think he had the harder role. The second and third acts are like the Ali/Foreman bought. |
|
17.
|
Priceless |
|
|
The French smartly keep producing Charlie Chaplin-esque mistaken identity comedies. This one actually makes golddiggers respectible. |
|
18.
|
Quantum of Solace |
|
|
I'd lowered my expectations to the point this pleasantly surprised me. I love the Bond canon throwbacks, but this alleged Vesper romance is nothing compared to OHMSS. Fields ranks high among Bond g |
|
19.
|
I.O.U.S.A. |
|
|
Everyone should watch this documentary on the looming economic crisis surrounding deficits and debt. |
|
20.
|
The Wrestler |
|
|
Rourke is excellent, Tomei is good but I wouldn't have nominated her. The ending is perfect. This would be a good double header with Rocky Balboa. |
Worth a Look
|
|
21.
|
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button |
|
|
I'd describe this as Legends of the Fall meets Forrest Gump meets Nicholas Sparks. Awkward in the beginning but moving by the end. |
|
22.
|
Cloverfield |
|
|
Sit as far back as you can: it's almost as if the feature-length onslaught of shaky-cam amateur video is an indictment of the YouTube generation. (The Host and 28 Weeks Later were better.) |
|
23.
|
The Forbidden Kingdom |
|
|
Better than I expected, not as good as my favorite Legend of Drunken Master, but there are a lot of good fights in this one. |
|
24.
|
Body of Lies |
|
|
This is a decent mixture of the manhunt from The Kingdom and the murky politics of Syriana. |
|
25.
|
Role Models |
|
|
There's a lot or really funny stuff in the normal oddball people behavior. Banks' deleted coffee shop riff is hilarious. |
|
26.
|
The Visitor |
|
|
If you liked Lars and the Real Girl you'll like this one too. |
|
27.
|
Bigger, Stronger, Faster* |
|
|
This has a great opening that brought up a lot of memories. The whole family reveal on camera is really fascinating. |
|
28.
|
Traitor |
|
|
Cheadle looks a little bored, but Saïd Taghmaoui is great, as he was in a similar role in Three Kings. |
|
29.
|
WALL•E |
|
|
Despite amazing visuals, I wasn't blown away as much as many others are because I prefer more action/adventure from Pixar. This was like something you'd see at Epcot Center. |
|
30.
|
OSS 117 |
|
|
Plenty of silly fun here, just not as obvious as something like Top Secret! |
|
31.
|
The Other Boleyn Girl |
|
|
Performances by Portman and Ana Torrent as Katherine of Aragon are the reason to see this. The score doesn't serve the tone very well. |
|
32.
|
Good Dick |
|
|
The beginning is uneasy and weirdly stalkerish, but the middle is dysfunctionally hilarious. Great job by Marianna Palka. |
|
33.
|
Hancock |
|
|
I really liked it up until the first twist, and then it just turned on itself. (Holy mascara, batman!) |
|
34.
|
Appaloosa |
|
|
A lot of this story bears a close resemblance to Tombstone. My major problem with it is the villain's inexplicable abandonment of his character midway through. |
|
35.
|
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist |
|
|
I wanted to like this more than I did. The direction or editing felt inexperienced, resulting in a forced rhythm that took you out of the natural charm of the characters. |
|
36.
|
Rachel Getting Married |
|
|
The story is brutal and Hathaway is excllent. |
|
37.
|
Fool's Gold |
|
|
This isn't an unenjoyable way to spend an evening: beautiful environs, hot bods, and treasure. |
|
38.
|
Hamlet 2 |
|
|
Steve Coogan officially won me over with his performance. |
|
39.
|
Redbelt |
|
|
Mamet's annoying dialogue aside, his plotting is cleverly tied in. |
|
40.
|
Four Christmases |
|
|
I liked their relationship at the beginning, but the rest falls into generic hijinks territory. |
|
41.
|
Penelope |
|
|
Too short, and I'm not a big fan of Catherine O'Hara, but this is my favorite performance by Witherspoon to date. |
|
42.
|
Bolt |
|
|
Like Madagascar 2, this is a good movie because of the story but with few funny outbursts. Good action sequences and excellent visuals. |
|
43.
|
Changeling |
|
|
Eastwood's music drags an interesting story. Geoff Pierson is fantastic as the roaring lawyer who sues the city. |
|
44.
|
Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 |
|
|
This is an interesting and pretty riveting documentary. Most surprising is that all the football players are more interesting than Tommy Lee Jones. |
|
45.
|
Boy A |
|
|
Good but not great. I was distracted by the time cuts. |
|
46.
|
Vicky Cristina Barcelona |
|
|
Rebecca Hall is completely overlooked in discussion of this movie. It would have been great save Woody Allen's overly deliberate dialogue. |
|
47.
|
Babysitters |
|
|
The cast for a movie like this was unexpected but really well chosen. |
|
48.
|
The Wackness |
|
|
I could have done without the title cards and animation, but this was a decent drama/romance. |
|
49.
|
RocknRolla |
|
|
Slower paced than Lock Stock and Snatch, but in the same vein. I'd love to see a sequel. |
|
50.
|
Rambo |
|
|
The is the meatlover's pizza of war movies. |
|
51.
|
Son of Rambow |
|
|
Will Poulter is great. The movie itself didn't charm me as much as I'd expected. |
|
52.
|
The Duchess |
|
|
Feinnes actually does a good job of representing a man of the time rather than playing a carictature of one. But this isn't about fashion like the trailer implies. |
|
53.
|
Zack and Miri Make a Porno |
|
|
Better characters than I expected, not as funny as I'd hoped. Justin Long scenes are great. I found it interesting that Kevin Smith made no mention of condoms. |
|
54.
|
Run Fatboy Run |
|
|
Typical light romantic comedy. |
|
55.
|
Last Chance Harvey |
|
|
A decent, straightforward romance, but the pairing is odd. |
|
56.
|
Hellboy II: The Golden Army |
|
|
I liked the first movie, and I like that del Toro uses makeup monsters instead of cgi, but the sequel lacked some heart. |
|
57.
|
Meet Dave |
|
|
Eddie Murphy's physicality is amazing, and there's some funny stuff here. Banks looks good as a redhead. Good is fun. |
|
58.
|
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa |
|
|
This is a decent followup but I wanted more penguins. |
|
59.
|
Valkyrie |
|
|
Even though you already know the broad outcome, this is a pretty good thriller, and more impressive than Defiance. |
|
60.
|
Frozen River |
|
|
Great job by both Leo and Misty Upham. |
|
61.
|
Revolutionary Road |
|
|
It starts off poorly but builds well. Michael Shannon is excellent. I was first put off by Winslet in blonde, but then she put it in that pony tail... |
|
62.
|
The Ruins |
|
|
It's Survivor: Pyramid! |
If You've Got Time To Kill
|
|
63.
|
The House Bunny |
|
|
I'll put this just ahead of Baby Mama, which was a better movie but didn't have as many laughs. |
|
64.
|
W |
|
|
Yikes, it's like Oliver Stone told everyone to overact. Thandie Newton has never been this bad in anything. |
|
65.
|
The Express |
|
|
The movie is typical underdog sports drama, but I always like seeing coaching putting together plays. |
|
66.
|
Baby Mama |
|
|
Amy Poehler completely makes the movie. It's a solid movie but feels like it could have been edgier. |
|
67.
|
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull |
|
|
I blame John Williams' aimless score as much for this lackluster installment as any other factor. |
|
68.
|
The Day the Earth Stood Still |
|
|
Contemporary audiences may see this as a mix of Contact and War of the Worlds, but not as impressive as either. |
|
69.
|
Happy Go Lucky |
|
|
Sally Hawkins did well with a very difficult role, but her character's rapid fire dialogue is so annoying I had to watch half the movie on mute. |
|
70.
|
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian |
|
|
Dinklage is great. I think I liked this one more than the first. |
|
71.
|
Death Race |
|
|
Some decent stunts but it's mostly just noise. |
|
72.
|
Transsiberian |
|
|
Decent emotional thriller but Kingsley's accent bothered me. |
|
73.
|
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay |
|
|
I loved that they went up to the appropriate line and thrust over it. |
|
74.
|
Timecrimes |
|
|
The plot is unbelievable, the dialogue and acting poor, but the creepy and mindbending factor makes it worth seeing. |
|
75.
|
Never Back Down |
|
|
Cam Gigandet plays up the villain really well. Sean Faris looks a lot like Tom Cruise. |
|
76.
|
Australia |
|
|
It's beautifully shot, but the music and direction make this feel like a straight to Disney Channel project. Romancing the Stone and othes are better. |
|
77.
|
When Did You Last See Your Father? |
|
|
I don't normally like dreary 50s/60s flashbacks but the sadness of this love-hate drama becomes effective by the end. |
|
78.
|
You Don't Mess With the Zohan |
|
|
There are a few giggles but for the most part it's dumb comedy. There's a decent undertone of |
|
79.
|
Swing Vote |
|
|
Most of this is average stuff, but I found the climactic speech pretty moving. The camera loves Paula Patton |
|
80.
|
Snow Angels |
|
|
The writing and acting is good, but what a downer. |
|
81.
|
Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show |
|
|
See this more as a behind the scenes doc than a 'best of' compilation. |
|
82.
|
The Tale of Despereaux |
|
|
Nice to look at but the story didn't seem focussed enough, or maybe just too meandering a pace. |
|
83.
|
Synecdoche, New York |
|
|
The movie actually makes more sense when seen than in just written description. Those that love this might like It's All About Love (I didn't.) |
|
84.
|
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins |
|
|
I thought I'd seen bad reviews of this one. It wasn't fantastic, but it wasn't tedious like some of his other projects. |
|
85.
|
The Lucky Ones |
|
|
Rachel McAdams was decently natural in this, not trying to steal the show. |
|
86.
|
Yes Man |
|
|
Zooey is adorable, and the movie got a couple laughs out of me, but mostly it's a predictable and passable rehash of Liar, Liar. |
|
87.
|
Definitely, Maybe |
|
|
Breslin isn't featured as much as viewers might want. Isla is adorable, but Weisz comes across as the most real. |
|
88.
|
Babylon A.D. |
|
|
Nice cinematography from Arbogast as usual. |
|
89.
|
What Happens in Vegas |
|
|
I laughed a few times, mostly at Kutcher. |
|
90.
|
Man on Wire |
|
|
This felt like one of those 'time I threw that touchdown in highschool' stories rather than a great piece of history. |
|
91.
|
Burn After Reading |
|
|
I was really surprised at how boring this was. Maybe it needed a good score. |
|
92.
|
Seven Pounds |
|
|
I only rented this to see what the plot 'twist' was all about, and upon getting that much, subsequently fell asleep. |
|
93.
|
Bedtime Stories |
|
|
Parodies of Adam Sandler's vocal largesse just make them more apparent when watching his movies. This one's for kids more than adults. |
|
94.
|
Elegy |
|
|
This reminded me of Sweet November and August in New York. |
|
95.
|
Brideshead Revisited |
|
|
Really really not enthralling. |
|
96.
|
Religulous |
|
|
Seeing it for comparitive religion is interesting, but Maher didn't have to be such a dick about it. |
|
97.
|
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day |
|
|
Kind of charming first half, forgettable second half. Amy Adams is like a younger, spunkier Nicole Kidman. |
|
98.
|
Drillbit Taylor |
|
|
For a dose of this theme from the 80s, I suggest renting 3 O'Clock High, and My Bodyguard. |
|
99.
|
Sex Drive |
|
|
I want that car. It's pretty impressive how James Marsden is so different here from 27 Dresses. |
|
100.
|
My Blueberry Nights |
|
|
Sad, sad, sad. Who wants to watch that? |
|
101.
|
27 Dresses |
|
|
It seems like they just followed the You've Got Mail playbook here. I did actually like the 'learning to say no' scene. |
|
102.
|
Horton Hears a Who |
|
|
There was a weird pshychadelic vibe to this I can't really describe but made me uncomfortable. |
|
103.
|
Lakeview Terrace |
|
|
Paint by numbers thriller. |
|
104.
|
Marley & Me |
|
|
Cute, but this was about his dog, not mine, so I wasn't drawn in too much. |
|
105.
|
Gran Torino |
|
|
Clearly written by a rookie, the dialogue and message is way too obvious, with most of the acting not much better. |
|
106.
|
Defiance |
|
|
Great cinematography, but for the most part an average survival film. Go watch Red Dawn and Schindler's List. |
|
107.
|
Married Life |
|
|
Plenty of period charm but the conclusion mostly falls into place too conveniently. |
|
108.
|
Yonkers Joe |
|
|
Basically a poor man's Rain Man, but I think I like the ending here more than in Rain Man. |
|
109.
|
The Battle in Seattle |
|
|
The emphasis here is more on the personal drama than the issues of the WTO. |
|
110.
|
Midnight Meat Train |
|
|
I like historical underground subway stops, but this just gets silly unrealistic at the end. |
|
111.
|
I've Loved You So Long |
|
|
I got more out of the concept than the execution. I could recommend this but don't expect anything riveting. |
|
112.
|
Transporter 3 |
|
|
Statham looks good but quick cuts keep you from appreciating the moves. |
|
113.
|
Let the Right One In (Sweden) |
|
|
The praise over this movie didn't click with me, but I liked the underwater shots late in the movie. |
|
114.
|
The Promotion |
|
|
I can see why the marketing team had such a devil of a time trying to figure out how to sell this movie. Comedy? Drama? It's odd. |
|
115.
|
Flash of Genius |
|
|
A Beautiful Mind treats the epic frustration better. I wonder if this would have more interesting if it had dealt more with the court case. |
|
116.
|
Shine a Light |
|
|
I was hoping for more Scorese fretting behind the scenes. As it is, this is a well-shot concert, but not much more. |
|
117.
|
The Reader |
|
|
Boring. I fell asleep two thirds in. |
|
118.
|
Stop-Loss |
|
|
Viewers who liked this treatment of the stress over military service might also check out the draft drama Day Zero. |
|
119.
|
Henry Poole Is Here |
|
|
I wasn't impressed by the movie wbut the cinematography and soundtrack were good. |
|
120.
|
Pride & Glory |
|
|
This cops on the take drama has been done so many times before, and better. Rent Cop Land instead. |
|
121.
|
Charlie Bartlett |
|
|
Yelchin gives it his all, but the movie is just so-so. I liked how subdued Robert Downey, Jr. was. |
Not Worth Your Time
|
|
122.
|
Soul Men |
|
|
The green screen road trip shots are embarrassing, but this is a nice tribute to Bernie Mac. |
|
123.
|
JCVD |
|
|
It took me a half hour to get into this movie. The bank robbers trying to copy JC's high kick is great. |
|
124.
|
Star Wars: The Clone Wars |
|
|
The dense plot is a downer but not incomprehensible. Some good action sequences, but it's nothing on the level of the live action movies. |
|
125.
|
Cadillac Records |
|
|
Everything about this biopic seems more subdued and laid back than in Ray and Walk the Line. |
|
126.
|
Mamma Mia! |
|
|
This has to be the most tone deaf musical in years, saved only by ABBA's infectious music. Amanda Seyfried is pretty adorable.. |
|
127.
|
Righteous Kill |
|
|
Pretty predictable, but better than Street Kings and 88 Minutes. |
|
128.
|
Be Kind Rewind |
|
|
I didn't really get into it, but Kevin Smith fans might like it. A lot of the dialogue seemed improved. Mos isn't great, Melonie Diaz is. |
|
129.
|
The Women |
|
|
Really lousy dialogue and comedic timing was barely saved by a positive |
|
130.
|
Blindness |
|
|
Fernando Meirelles took a really intriguing premise and made it really unnecessarily annoying. |
|
131.
|
Passengers |
|
|
I won't give the twist away but it's something you've seen before and isn't worth the time here. |
|
132.
|
Wendy and Lucy |
|
|
This is like a documentary about the homeless but without voiceover narration. Depressing. |
|
133.
|
Wanted |
|
|
The lousy mystic combination of The Matrix plus Star Wars makes the midichlorians sound like decent exposition. I can't wait for the dvd so I can zoom in on Jolie's backside! |
|
134.
|
21 |
|
|
This more interesting than Lucky You. |
|
135.
|
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People |
|
|
Skip this one and rewatch The Secret of My Success. |
|
136.
|
Sex and the City |
|
|
Boring and too long. And I just couldn't find much compassion for the minor problems of the rich. |
|
137.
|
My Best Friend's Girl |
|
|
I can see what they were going for but it just didn't click. |
|
138.
|
Nobel Son |
|
|
This reminded me of Suicide Kings. The choice of Oakenfold music was odd. |
|
139.
|
Eagle Eye |
|
|
No damage to LeBeouf's career here, but the plot is just lousy. Chiklis is miscast. |
|
140.
|
Leatherheads |
|
|
Too slow, and doesn't really create the atmosphere of the time that The Natural and A League of Their Own did. |
|
141.
|
Chapter 27 |
|
|
Lohan is probably the most normal here of any recent project or press coverage. |
|
142.
|
Semi-Pro |
|
|
Derivative of Ferrell's previous comedies, but the bear wrestling got me laughing. |
|
143.
|
Hounddog |
|
|
Fanning has scary talent. She reminded me of Susan Sarandon in this. |
|
144.
|
Then She Found Me |
|
|
Decent, if dreary. |
|
145.
|
The Incredible Hulk |
|
|
I liked Norton on the run, and Tyler has a great outburst scene, but the action is all noise and not much substance. |
|
146.
|
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor |
|
|
I never thought I'd say this, but Maria Bello is a poor substitute for Rachel Weisz. |
|
147.
|
What We Do Is Secret |
|
|
Skip this dramatization and watch the real documentary American Hardcore. |
|
148.
|
Twilight |
|
|
Boring, ridiculous and silly. If this hadn't been based on a popular novel, it would have been completely rejected at the box office. The interesting Native American lore was underused. |
|
149.
|
Journey to the Center of the Earth |
|
|
Paint by numbers filmmaking. |
|
150.
|
Day Zero |
|
|
Similar to but not as good as The 25th Hour. Jon Bernthal gives the best performance of the three. |
|
151.
|
Choke |
|
|
A letdown, mostly because of Kelly Macdonald's cue-card delivery. |
|
152.
|
Speed Racer |
|
|
Like a Pollock painting, this is all color and no sense. |
|
153.
|
Nights in Rodanthe |
|
|
I liked The Notebook because of the chemistry and the epic nature of the story. This romance feels nothing but scripted. |
|
154.
|
Smart People |
|
|
In the hands of Diablo Cody, Ellen Page is sassy. Here she's mostly depressing and annoying. But the story improves by the end. |
|
155.
|
The X-Files: I Want to Believe |
|
|
Drags just like the series did, and Gillian has more angst than a coven of high school vampire groupies. |
|
156.
|
Step Brothers |
|
|
Absurd, surreal comedy. It feels like they fired some buckshot at a long distance target to see what they could hit. Kathryn Hahn has the best moments. |
|
157.
|
August |
|
|
Hartnett is pretty good as the cocky salesman, and the movie gives a sense of the tech bubble era, but the movie fizzles more than pops. |
|
158.
|
Bill |
|
|
I can see what they were going for but it just starts off weakly and doesn't get better. |
|
159.
|
Made of Honor |
|
|
I'd watch 27 Dresses again over this any day but it doesn't break my crush on Michelle Monaghan. |
|
160.
|
What Just Happened? |
|
|
Skip this one and watch the funnier The Deal starring William H. Macy. |
|
161.
|
Sukiyaki Western Django |
|
|
Pointless action. At least Shoot Em Up was guilty fun. If they're going to use paintball splatter effects, I'd rather see a spoof about paintball. |
|
162.
|
Dark Matter |
|
|
Starts out as an interesting story about academic politics and surprisingly goes off the rails at the end. |
|
163.
|
Punisher: War Zone |
|
|
More comic-booky than Jane's version, but it's nice to see real body armor on the hero for a change. |
|
164.
|
Street Kings |
|
|
It's a watchable cop drama but it never feels grounded in reality. |
|
165.
|
Deception |
|
|
The twists are telegraphed a mile away, and the titilation is weak. |
|
166.
|
The Spirit |
|
|
I had trouble telling if this was an intentional spoof of Dick Tracy. I made it about 20 mintues in before hitting the mute button. |
|
167.
|
Max Payne |
|
|
Some interesting cinematography, but I wish they had chosen between full supernatural or action movie. The ending reminded me of Alien Nation. |
|
168.
|
Stuck |
|
|
I like Stephen Rea but this is pretty much made-for-Lifetime quality. |
|
169.
|
Flawless |
|
|
This is a really sleepy heist. Caine needs to get out of these very isolated roles and into ensembles. |
|
170.
|
Teeth |
|
|
There are more screams than gore, and it isn't funny enough to be a date movie. The tone is almost right, but too subdued. |
|
171.
|
Vantage Point |
|
|
Totally lacking in believability, but the pace and wild car chase help keep your attention. |
|
172.
|
Mad Money |
|
|
I swear, projects with either one of Mr. or Mrs. Tom Cruise are worth it if just for anthropological study. |
|
173.
|
Savage Grace |
|
|
The original crime may have been a page turner in the newspapers at the time, but I didn't find anything interesting in the movie. Pretty much every aspect of it was wholly unlikable. |
|
174.
|
Bangkok Dangerous |
|
|
Between this and Next it's a wonder Cage isn't going direct to video. |
|
175.
|
88 Minutes |
|
|
This movie doesn't inspire much confidence in the mental health service industry. Maybe it was produced by Scientologists. |
|
176.
|
Doomsday |
|
|
Escape From New York meets Mad Max meets zombies with a lot of splatter and not much going for it. I'd like to see Liebenberg in more action movies. |
What the Crap?

Bonneville |
|

I will rent movies based on cast member award history. Movies like Bonneville demonstrate that |

|
Untraceable |
|
|
Thrillers just aren't thrilling when you know right where they're going. |
|
179.
|
Jumper |
|
|
It just...ends. There should have been a half hour left. |
|
180.
|
Over Her Dead Body |
|
|
Lake Bell and Paul Rudd come out not too badly, but this is proof that Eva Longoria (and Jason Biggs) should stick to tv. |
|
181.
|
Chaos (I) |
|
|
This is a step up from Snipes' usual direct to video movies, but he has few scenes. Statham is good without overdoing it. |
|
182.
|
Disaster Movie |
|
|
Foul, pointless humor. I keep hoping to find something funny in these spoofs. |
|
183.
|
War, Inc. |
|
|
This heavy handed cookie cutter followup to Grosse Pointe is schtick without the charm.Tomei is nice but I'd have preferred Minnie Driver back. Duff was actually good. |
|
184.
|
How to Rob a Bank |
|
|
Lots of chatter but not much dialogue. |

An American Carol |
|
|
I don't know if the word I'm looking for is Irony, or Hypocrisy, or just Junk. |
|
187.
|
Mirrors |
|
|
I watched but can't really recall anything significant. |
|
188.
|
Hell Ride |
|
|
A bunch of big talking old losers in the desert killing each other. Why should I care? At least give me a character I'll think is cool or something. Okay, thanks for the boobs at least. |
|
189.
|
10,000 B.C. |
|
|
Laughably anachronistic, but it's interesting how similar to Apocalypto it is. |
|
190.
|
The Happening |
|
|
I like Wahlberg, he's not the best actor ever, but M. Night's writing just led everyone to deliver their worst performance. So bad it's laughable. |
|
191.
|
In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Movie |
|
|
Oh, Uwe Boll. I may not remember the video game well but this movie seems to have no relevance to it, nor much to offer sword & sworcery fans. |
|
192.
|
Funny Games |
|
|
I can watch the news to know that killers get away with it. If you want to sell that you'd better damn well give me a great villain. |
|
193.
|
Postal |
|
|
You have to have a weird sense of humor to find this funny, and I didn't. Oh, what a coincidence, it's Uwe Boll. |
|

|
Extreme Movie |
|
|
Poor, poor Michael Cera. |

|
The Tracey Fragments |
|
|
I couldn't stand more than 10 minutes of the schizophrenic cinematography and dialogue. It's not worth it even for the Juno curious.. |
