• the golden compass 4/5

  Very entertaining, great special effects, brilliant story. I think it is laughable how so many people protest this movie because of it's atheist undertones; get the fuck over it. The movie was full of fantasy and wonder, and allows you to imagine that something else might be out there... I applaud that. I look forward to more from this series.

  Overall, this movie was really enjoyable, however, I really think they could have done better. First of all, Rachel Bilson cannot act, and should not have been in this movie. Second, they seriously should have explained more... it would have made the movie really good.

  Wow. I mean, wow. This movie sucked so hard, that I thought I was going to be pulled into the TV screen. I am SO glad I didn't waste $10 on seeing it in the theater. Tim Burton, not even you could save this stinker. Bad story, awful "songs".

  One of my all time favorites!

• atonement 3.5/5

  2008-04-08 21:11

  

  What a wickedly sad movie. It was weird in the respect that they never truly explained why the little girl was so upset over the discovery that her sister had sex with someone. Regardless, it was difficult to figure out what was happening in the beginning, but the ending really makes your heart drop. It's a good movie, but not one that I would say qualifies as best of the year.

• sister act 2.5/5

  2008-04-06 21:48

  

  Blast from the past, eh? While it has some laughs, it is just one old film I doubt I would ever watch again unless the same scenario pops up (friends wanting to watch it).

  0.3

• I am legend 3.5/5

  2008-04-02 21:46

  

  While I liked it overall, I think that it was REALLY lacking in the quality of CGI. I mean, this is a major blockbuster, and you only have one star... why not spend the bucks on doing the CGI right, and making it look real? We all know you can.

  0.3

• the jane austen book club 4/5

  2008-04-01 21:43

  

  This one really surprised me; the title made it sound extra boring, but it was actually really sweet and well written and acted. You really feel for all of the characters, but I just am tired of the lonely gay being the one at the end that ends up with no one. Can't we get the guy/girl every once and a while too??

• semi-pro 2.5/5

  2008-03-28 19:03

  

  Typical Will Ferrell, but with less laughs. I think he just tries to hard, and sometimes, it REALLY shows... like in this one.

  0.3

• superhero movie 2.5/5

  2008-03-28 19:02

  

  Good for a few laughs, but it was a crass joke-filled version of Spiderman. It was fun because we were drunk at the drive in; that's it.

  0.3

• southland tales 1/5

  2008-03-26 19:01

  

  Wow. I was really shocked by how much I didn't like this; I mean, Donnie Darko is a personal favorite. Either way, it came across as contrived, and Kelly tries WAY too hard to re-create some of the mystique that Darko had. A real let down.

  0.3

• hitman 2/5

  2008-03-24 21:58

  

  From the previews, this looked like a quality action flick; too bad it didn't deliver at all. So sad, really... this is an example of when potential just isn't enough. And is it me, or did they not completely rip off the series Dark Angel?? The first 10 minutes was pretty much lifted directly from that show.

• run fatboy run 4/5

  2008-03-15 21:50

  

  This movie gets better with each viewing, and my love for Simon Pegg only grows stronger with each day!

  0.3

• elizabeth: the golden age 3.5/5

  2008-03-12 21:23

  

  It was good, but not as good as the first Elizabeth. Cate Blanchett is an amazing actor, and one of the most stunning women ever, IMHO.

  0.3

• once 4/5

  2008-03-07 21:40

  

  While the movie was charming, funny at times, and definitely sweet, it was the music that was the real star. Great soundtrack!

  0.3

• the ice storm 3/5

  2008-03-04 21:40

  

  Um... wha? It was good, in theory, but it didn't go anywhere. I would have liked to have seen a bit more directional plot... oh yeah, and an ending would have been nice as well.

• run fatboy run 4/5

  2008-02-26 21:38

  

  I bought the UK DVD, because this movie isn't even out yet in the US!! I am glad I did... I seriously love Simon Pegg, and he is a hoot in this one. The movie only lacks a little bit, but I was definitely pleased overall. Glad to have this in my collection.

• across the universe 4/5

  2008-02-21 18:37

  

  I really love how they retooled some of the Beatles songs in this movie. Some of them, however, didn't make much sense in trying to tell the story. Oh well... overall, it was good!

  0.3

• the opposite of sex 4.5/5

  2008-02-18 23:08

  

  I love this movie. I hadn't seen it in forever, and it was definitely time to add it to my collection. God, I love Don Roos.

• all about my mother 4.5/5

  2008-02-16 23:06

  

  Is there anything that Almodovar can't do? Wow, amazing. He has this way of telling a story like no one else.

  0.3

• good luck chuck 3/5

  2008-02-11 21:22

  

  It was entertaining, and Jessica Alba was really funny in some parts. Overall, I was shocked by the misogynistic nudity and treatment of women, but on the flipside, I guess, that at least they showed Dane Cooks butt a lot.

  0.3

• hedwig and the angry inch 5/5

  2008-02-07 21:42

  

  One of my favorite movies of all time. A great musical story about love and loss, told from the perspective of a transgendered rock goddess. What's not to love? This film is engaging and amazingly well done.

  0.3

• the king of kong 4.5/5

  2008-02-06 23:40

  

  A documentary about one guy trying (and succeeding) to break a world record on Donkey Kong, which was held by a MAJOR prick named Billy Williams. I could definitely feel the guy's frustration, and really enjoyed the story and how it was portrayed.

  0.3

• war 3/5

  2008-02-06 21:39

  

  A pretty decent action film with Hottie McHot Jason Statham. That's pretty much all that needs to be said, really.

• January, 2008

• mr woodcock 1.5/5

  2008-01-31 21:22

  

  It looked funny, but mostly, it wasn't. In fact, what a horrible premise for a movie; they never even go into what about Mr Woodcock the kid hates so very much, and that makes him compete so much. I mean, we all had teachers like that, but it didn't ruin all of our lives, did it?

  0.3

  Delightfully funny, and a great little show. Also, Nick Frost is super adorable in it!

  I love this movie; so fun and sexy. Man, could Jolie be ANY hotter? (hint: NO!)

  0.3

• waitress 4/5

  2008-01-08 21:47

  

  Heartfelt, and infuriating at times, this little comedy has some huge talent behind it. Keri Russell also proves that she can carry a movie as the lead actor. Definitely leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy at the end.

  0.3

• I know who killed me 2.5/5

  2008-01-07 21:44

  

  The plot was a little all over the place, and it just made it more weird, when it could have been interesting. Also, they just explain the "twist" as like an "oh yeah", which totally undercuts the ability it had to shock you and reel you in. It was alright.

  0.3

• shoot 'em up 3/5

  2008-01-05 21:42

  

  While it was enjoyable, it was almost like watching a live action cartoon; colorful and a bit all over the place with action that wasn't realistic. That being said, it was an enjoyable action film.

  One of the best movies I have seen in a LONG time. Seriously, AMAZING film.

• the kingdom 4/5

  2008-01-04 21:41

  

  Pretty gritty look at some 9/11 war/oil war related stuff; with action and intense moments. Also, the amazing Jennifer Garner is in it; what's not to love?

  Not a bad action movie; but a horrible idea if it ever took place in real life. I would have been nicer to see Austin shirtless.

  2007-12-12 22:30

  

  I think that this would have been a much better movie if it wouldn't have been so confusing and took so long to figure out what was going on. Still beautiful.

  2007-12-11 22:29

  

  A very good Harry Potter movie, but it felt a bit rushed at the end. Still, very enjoyable.

• factory girl 3.5/5

  2007-12-10 21:27

  

  An amazing, and very real, performance from Sienna Miller as the tragic Edie Sedgwick. It really is sad how this girl was basically chewed up and spit out. Sad story.

  2007-11-29 23:47

  

  Fuck this movie. The whole point was MAKING them break up. This movie actually made me mad. If it would have left out that shit, and these people could have thought for themselves, I might have liked it.

  2007-11-21 21:52

  

  I really enjoyed the movie, and it would get a higher rating, but John Travolta ruined it for me. Seriously, WHY did they pick him??? Nikki Blonsky, on the other hand, is AMAZING. I totally love her!

• I now pronounce you chuck and larry 3.5/5

  2007-11-20 20:46

  

  Curiosity got the better of me, I must admit. Despite all of the badness... I was surprised that they really did go to bat for gays in the movie. Both Adam Sandler's character and Kevin James' character both defended gays big time in the movie (even though they often "slipped" as well). However, we have to focus on the good; right? Either way, I still think Kevin James is adorable, and the movie was, overall, okay.

  2007-11-16 22:40

  

  It would really be scary to live in a small town; and for many, it means being beaten to death for trying to be yourself. It is really sad that people are so full of hate.

  With the exception of the first 5 minutes, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was extremely thrilling. I would, however, recommend to the characters in the movie, that one should turn off the lights if you are spying on someone... so as they don't see you.
