Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 9/10

This movie might walk a fine line between profundity and pretension, but it walks it well.

I watched Arthur and the Minimoys at last and I think that Luc Besson has made a great movie with a fantastic story. The movie gets 8 of 10 points.

I am watching LOTR again.... I already give it a 10/10! What's taters precious??!!


*love me some Legolas!!

I *LOVED* Seven Pounds! I rented it not long ago. I cried and cried. It was so beautiful. I give it a 10/10 though. Will Smith is awesome as is Rosario Dawson.

Very much enjoyed this. Authentic tears were shed by the Les Man. Very moving. Rosario Dawson once again proved herself to be one of America's greatest actors.

I read "Will Smith is awesome as Rosario Dawson" and thought I just HAVE to see that!

But alas.

City Island-7/10. It is a bit quirky but has Andy Garcia in it. I just love him Added bonus, the teenage son is a FA who had a crush on his ssbbw neighbor.

"It Might Get Loud" 11/10...(Insert Spinal Tap Joke Here)

As an unabashed Guitar Geek and worshipper of Jimmy Page, it would be a given that'd I'd love this film

[Mathias]

Sherlock Holmes- 4/10 Only thing that was interesting about it was the ending. Other than that, I was bored the whole time.

[snuggletiger]

The new Star Trek 9/10 wish I could have seen it on a tv bigger then a 13" tv.

Leap Year 5/10

Story was lame, acting was... so-so. We didnt pay to see it (hurray for friends that work at the cinema!), so I feel better about it.

Really, the only thing going for it was the scenery and Matthew Goode, although why an actually Irishman wasn't cast is beyond me. But he was decent with his accent and... a total babe.

[Saoirse]

Also- The logistics didnt make any sense. The chick was flying from the US to Dublin. But due to weather conditions, the plane landed in Wales. She gets a boat to take her, but instead of just crossing the Irish Sea, they go all the way around the bottom of Ireland and drop her off in Dingle. From there, she begins driving to Dublin.

To most, I suppose this doesn't matter, but it just bugged me. haha *nerd alert*

Just watched Moon. Full review is here.

I gave it a 9/10, but it's a pretty hard sci-fi so it might not be accessible to all viewers.

kev's review is spot on, this movie is INCREDIBLE. the best new sci-fi i've seen in some years. it's performance based, not effects based. a really nuanced film.

[Blackjack]

I'm not gonna tell exactly what the last movie I watched was, I'm just gonna leave here one of the more memorable lines from it.



Also, it's got the creepiest pseudo-FA imagery I've ever seen.

10/10, at any rate. Despite the numerous spoofs of it and several scenes, the original is still a chilling, thrilling masterpiece. Hopkins is utterly captivating in every scene he's in, the screenplay is wonderful, and the directing- especially the white-knuckle encounter right at the end- is superb.

Thank you kindly, good sir! I'm glad that you saw it, figured it'd be right up your alley. All the way up.

I just got done watching the movie. I would have given a 6/10 but the ending made me feel a little bit better about the situation. So I'll give it a 8/10
Very trippy though

And just saw Sector 9 yesterday.
10/10
I absolutely loved it. They better make a second one.

[Aust99]

Hey... I just got home from watching Bran Nue Dae.... It's a new Australian film with a predominately Indigenous cast. It is a musical set in the late 60's and it follows the story of a boy called Willy, trying to get from Perth up to Broome.... It is great, I thoroughly enjoyed it... 9/10.

I'm assuming this is the same movie that also goes by District 9?

Yeah, great movie.

Me too! I wanted to like it, and expected to like it a lot more than I did. I love Robert Downey, jr. and the previews looked great. But the banter got old after awhile, the "mystery" didn't seem to build logically but was scattered all over the place, and the ending was interesting but I didn't even care enough about the characters to be worried about them.

Feh.

I saw Avatar a second time, and it was even better. Love it. Will probably see it a third time, and probably get the DVD when it comes out.

Yeah, that one. Hahaha I'm bad with names....

Pi
9/10
Very Trippy and weird

[Surlysomething]

Inglorious Basterds.

7.5/10

I love me some Quentin Tarantino but anything Nazi to me is a bit repugnant.


Brad Pitt though? Hilarious!

[PamelaLois]

The BlindSide 9/10. Loved it

[pdgujer148]

The Book of Eli 6/10

I enjoyed “The Book of Eli”, but more for the casting than for the plot or visuals.

I won’t spoil any of the plot points except to say that there is a twist at the end of the film that will stretch your suspension of disbelief to the breaking point. That said, the film plays fair, and when you think back it is clear that all of the information you needed to anticipate the twist was presented in the body of the film. Whether you accept the twist or consider it preposterous will largely be a matter of Faith.

The visuals are pretty nondescript given that the film was directed by a pair of guys (Albert and Allen Hughes) who are known for creating visually ambitions films—lots of colored filters and bad digital matte paintings.

The best reason to see this is Gary Oldman. Denzel Washington is fine, but his role is kind of thankless and isn’t anything we haven’t seen him do 20 times before. Oldman, however, hasn’t been this good in years. Between the Batman and Harry Potter films it seemed like he had decided to surf on playing bland supporting roles. In the Book of Eli Oldman chews scenery with gusto and reminds us why we liked him in the first place.

The cast is rounded off with a number of well cast supporting players. Tom Waits pops up for a couple laughs. Ray Stevenson does his threatening, but oddly soulful thing he does. Michael Gambon shows up for a brief cameo as civil cannibal.

This isn’t a great film, but it is very watchable.

Up in the Air 10/10

I-LOVED-THIS-FILM. It was really really good. All the actors were good. Not one person was miscast and Clooney really manages to make you feel for his character. I think this is going to be one of those films that will become a Classic. People will be talking about this film 50 years from now, it was that good.

Aww, I liked that movie. I'd give it a 8/10. It was entertaining, there was the right amount of action for me, and the pacing was good. Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. played well off each other and I enjoyed their banter. I'm rather looking forward to the sequel - assuming there will be one.
