    Transformers: Dark of the Moon

    Thought this was really entertaining. I enjoyed the first one, but hated the second. This is the best of the three. Decent comedy relief, top-notch action, pretty much what you'd expect, but thoroughly entertaining.

    The Matrix - 8.5/10

    Took a half point off because I'm reminded of some scenes where I could explain it but it kinda feels like they just did it cause it needed to happen rather than doing it more logically. Neo being shot and dies, then the kiss of life wakes him up. There's ways I could try to explain it but that little link doesn't do it for it.

    Aside from that bit, why can't we get more blockbusters like this??? Ace execution.

    The Matrix is a generational movie. Don't expect to see groundbreaking story with groundbreaking action any time soon. The closest we've come since is Inception. But beyond those two, I couldn't tell ya.

    It was one of the most entertaining film experiences i've had in a long time. It was full of intrigue and drama and mystery all perfectly crafted by Aronofsky. The acting was good too.

    Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil: 8/10

    LOLOLOL. I love this movie, and Alan Tudyk is great comic relief. It's a cleverly funny horror comedy where a bunch of teenagers go out to their rented cabin in the woods for the weekend. They see some rednecks and think it's their typical serial killer, so they try to run away from them, but end up killing themselves by accident all the time. It's fucking hilarious because it makes fun of those shitty slasher movies from the 80's and I think even the Wrong Turn series.

    Didn't like the twist too much, it was way too predictable and cliche, unless that's what they were going for. Highly recommend this. Great watch on a Friday or Saturday night.

    I thought this was okay. The two lead characters are likable enough and I've got a tiny bit of a crush on Katrina Bowden, but the humor became tedious to me. It's a short film extended to feature length. Tucker & Dale vs Evil has its moments of true genius, but for the most part I wasn't as in love with it as you were. And yeah, the twist sucked.
    Thanks to Kwesnoth for the sig!

    Akira: 4/10

    wtf. I was really looking forward to this movie because its said to be a landmark anime film and credited as one of the driving forces behind anime in america, and since i am an Anime fan i was pretty stoked. Not to mention the box cover just looked so dope.

    That said, wtf. I thought the directing was terrible. It was random and not that easy to follow. When it was easy to follow, i was only kept interested because I wanted to know more about the story, not because it was shot well. then during the second half and towards the end (I admit it was late and I was a little sleepy) things got really messed up. There isn't much background of explanation for the psionics and I just didnt think it was set up well at all.
    I ended up reading the Wiki Plot summary of it after and enjoyed that a lot more. I know they've been trying to get a live action version for a long time now (killed and resurrected pre-production phase) but I would seriously like to know how they would go about making this wtf movie. I assume I would prefer it though as it would be better laid out.







    Also, Tucker and Dale was great and a breath of fresh air to all the stale comedy movies that have been coming out. It was original and hilarious. And +1 for Katrina.

    It is seriously over rated. Def not as revolutionary for american anime as people like to think. Sailor moon had more impact that akira as did dbz(I hate it but it made an impact on america). Ninja scroll is a good one you should see.

    I laughed the entire time. Very predictable but I still laughed.

    It hink Akira is the one that noobs like because its the one they have heard of and seen me included. I can name the amount of anime films I have seen on one hand so its boiund to be one of the best I have seen i think thats why its so highly regarded.

    Akira is the first movie people think of when it comes to good anime films to recommend but it's really more impressive on a technical level. Steamboy was another good anime film from director Otomo.

    Really, a 59% percent Rotten Tomatoes rating because "the story wasn't the greatest..." is a bit too harsh, in my opinion.

    Akira has a 90% RT rating.

    I think the story could be interesting and the movie could be good. It just wasn't imo well told or written or bleh. And I still dont know how the hell they'd make a Live action Akira film, especially one targeting a rather mainstream audience.

    Ghost in the Shell and the aforementioned Ninja Scroll are amazing. I like Ghost in the Shell a lot more. A LOT of influence over the Matrix.

    Hunger Games 9/10-This was a great movie. The action and creativity was awesome. Can't wait until the next one to come out. Jennifer Lawrence is shaping up to be one hell of an actress. This movie is just one more occasion that strikes my interest in the books.

    Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang: 9/10

    Loved this on my 2nd viewing because on the first, I couldn't get into particularly because it was so fast-paced, witty and random,but it works and breaks the typical Hollywood norms of writing a screenplay, as it's even made fun of by narration from RDJ. Let me just say that RDJ and Val Kilmer killed it in acting in this film. Seriously, their amazing craft just rubbed off on each other and their chemistry was superb to watch. It reminded me a lot of Lethal Weapon 1 and 2. Now, I have even more faith in Iron Man 3, which is directed by Shane Black.

    Fuck yeah! Has to be one of my absolute favorite Downey Jr. characters. Not to mention one of the best for Kilmer as well. That movie is a hidden gem.

    Once Upon A Time In America: 10/10

    Let me start by saying that this is my absolute favourite film of all time.

    The story primarily is centred around four friends. They grow up in the Jewish ghetto in New York during the Prohibition era and rise to prominence in New Yorks organised crime.

    It's directed by Sergio Leone and he uses flashback sequences like in a novel. The film runs just under 4 hours so it isn't really a film you can pick up and watch but if your willing to sit down and watch it your in for one of the greatest films to grace our screens.

    With the film being as long as it is, you develop a bond with the characters. Also because you see the characters in 3 different stages of there lives you feel as though you have grown up with them. Because of the bond it helps create atmosphere and makes shocking moments even more shocking!

    The other thing about this film is the Soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. In my opinion his best score. The music just fits so well with this film, and helps create despair and tragedy.

    If you haven't seen this already I highly recommend it!

    Ted 10/10

    awesome movie,loved it and made even better that there were no children in the theater for it,and after seeing avengers in a crowded theater with god knows how many 4 year old kids.it was refreshing,Ted was awesome and cant wait for a sequel if they do one. definitly a dvd worthy purchase and a good message in it which maybe im the only one who picked it up or maybe im wrong,but it seemed to be a movie to say "if you are in love with someone,dont try to change them into something else or you may just find yourself unhappy,take someone for who they are and not what you want them to be"

    Rudy: 9/10

    Oh man, I loved this movie. I watched it before in high school but watching it now in its entirety was nice. Loved the scene where everyone puts their football jersey on the desk so they could help Rudy play a game in the season. That was beautiful. The Newsroom also did that in an episode recently. This has to be my favourite sports drama movie of all time.

    The Raid: Redemption 10/10- Wow is all I can really say about this movie. The fighting is absolutely amazing and the action is one of the best I've ever seen. It is an action movie though. The story isn't much but the action is mind blowing. I rated it for an action movie and overall it is one of the best I've ever seen.
