Rate The Last Movie You've Seen

[Bio]

Taken 2 - 7.5/10

First movie was better, but there wasn't anything seriously wrong with the sequel (which is a great thing for a movie). This one was just more well-rounded by putting more focus on the family, undercutting some of the focus on Neeson's trademark baddassery (but don't get me wrong; he still delivers and steals the show when it's needed).

I think the minor fault lies in that there was nothing significant accomplished with the extra approach on wife and child (other than successfully preventing the plot from being too identical to the first and Kim's driving practice "paying off").

Not that I am particularly curious to know more about them, but I ought to experience something new with them if the movie decides to feature them more often. But again, it wasn't anything serious since there was still a nice amount of great, fun, satisfying, badass action like the first, albeit slightly less of it by comparison. So overall, I liked it for sure. I especially like how they treated Neeson's final conversation with the main antagonist. Nice touch.

The Fighter 8.75/10

Prometheus - 8.5/10

Would've enjoyed it more if everyone and their mother didn't tell me it was a prequel... though I would've guessed that anyway based on the art style of H.R. Giger. He is truly a bad ass -> http://www.hrgiger.com

Killer Condom 9/10
This crazy ass German movie about...well the title says it all lol. It's about a gay detective who has a personal encounter with it and makes it a personal mission to rid of it, even though everyone thinks he's crazy.

Oddly enough, that is another movie that H.R. Giger worked on.

The Machinist 8.5/10
Much better than 'Fight Club' (since both were similar)

Also, I'm the same weight as Christian Bale in this movie yet I'm no where near as skeletal and creepy as he looks. Maybe its the age difference.

Different body types. Different genetics. Hollywood make up also exaggerated his already emaciated body.

Rescue Dawn 8.5/10

If you haven't noticed by now, I went on a Christian Bale spree

Max Payne - enjoyable but convoluted story, not enough Olga Kurylenko, but Milan Kunis looked awesome so that up for it! 8/10

Sinister - 6/10

As with Insidious, the first half of this movie is minimal and tense, while the second half shows too much and becomes stupid.

It's a shame, because both movies had so much potential.

Pitch Perfect - ???

I had no idea what this movie was when my friends invited me. It's like Glee... but... very raunchy college humor. I laughed... but... I don't know what to think of it. o_O I'm not much into "musicals".

"I ate my twin sister in the womb."

lol...

That's too bad. Seen the commercials for this and thought it looked decent. Every Halloween season we get these kinds of movies but it's really hard to find a movie to scare me. I'm sure theres one that'll succeed lol!

Killer Joe 8/10

Holy mindfuck! I have never been that immersed in a movie before. Jesus H. Christ almighty. What the fuck did I just watch? It's either the most surrealistically violent movie I have ever seen or the worst movie I have ever seen. I cannot decide! Basically, the acting is fucking pheonomal from all the stars, especially Mathew McCounahey (sp?) and Juno Temple. I would have never pictured him doing a role like this. Unbelievable.

This is definitely an indie movie, as it breaks that happy ending rule of Hollywood. The NC-17 rating for it is justified. This makes Shame look like a PG-13 movie when compared to the sexuality/nudity in it. And then there's the hyper-realistic violence. But that ending..holy shit..had me on the edge.

Do not see this movie with someone who is sensitive to violence or sex. Seriously.

Oh yeah and AWESOME writing!

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy 8/10-This movie is a very under the radar type flick. It isn't very popular but has a great cast. It was quite funny to say the least. Definitely worth a watch.

Many factors could be in play, for example: Bale could be reasonably taller and with larger bones. To be the same weight would mean he would have to be much thinner than you to make up for the extra height and bone density.

LINCOLN

A super early advance screening (studio rep said we were the "first in Minnesota" to see it) as this doesn't come out til December. Overall it was boring and somewhat disappointing given the cast and director Spielberg. Daniel Day Lewis was a good Lincoln but the content did not give him a whole lot to work with I think. Joseph Gordon Levitt is practically a cameo character, having maybe 2 dozen lines. The whole film felt fairly messy and will be hard to follow for many. At almost 3 hours, Lincoln would be better off as a rental, TV movie or redone as a HBO mini-series.

2 out of 5

Wreck-It Ralph



Just got back from an advance screening of Wreck-It Ralph, which was a ton of fun. Really a solid family film. Some great video game references. OMG fell in love with the omega super adorable Vanellope von Schweetz, the little girl played my Sarah Silverman. All the voice actors were perfect choices and nailed their parts.

Honestly, my adult critic side wants to give it a 3 or 3.5 but my inner child & gamer side is totally for a 4 out of 5!

How are you seeing all these advanced screenings?

[Ernsty]

How are you seeing all these advanced screenings?

It's 1 of 2 ways:

a) I am part of an online site that sends me the advance screening passes
or
b) I actively find them since Minneapolis seems to have a lot of them. We must be a hot spot for movie market research?

I wish PSU had a section for movie reviews, because I totally would do a bunch of them! :3

Up next, Cloud Atlas on Monday! It's my most anticipated film of the season so hope it doesn't disappoint!
