6/10

 

[hammerhedd11]

Valentin de las Sierras
Faux Movements

 

[A Necessary Evil]

The Amazing Spider-Man


I still really like it, but It should have still been called "the almost as good as Raimi's Spider-Man''

Collateral

 

[kedrell]

1941 to me is his worst.

I've still never seen that one, nor Sugarland Express. The only pre-Jaws film of his I've seen was Duel(which was good).

 

[kedrell]

Fight Club since it was on IFC last night.

8.5/10

I used to rate it higher but films that rely on twist/GOTCHA! surprises tend to depreciate significantly after the first or second viewing.

 

[DX]

In theatres: Django Unchained

On DVD: Batman Begins, The Dark Knight

 

[Mace Dolex]

The Shawshank Redemption - as I get older I'm noticing that I'm more open to watching movies that I wouldn't give a second thought that if it wasn't for Family Guy doing a parody of TSR I wouldn't of cared for it.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

Superman Returns

 

[StarLord]

'There Will Be Blood'

I love this film more and more after every viewing.

 

[Panthro]

Invaders From Mars (1953)

 

[moviedoors]

Dredd

Still like it quite a bit upon a second viewing. It's fast-paced, it's fun, it's bloody. Though I am perplexed at how cheap it looks in low-light scenes. What the hell is up with that? It looks so gorgeous one minute and then you get to a darkened hallway and it looks like it was shot on a $500 camera bought at Target, complete with nasty digital grain.

Killer Joe

****ed up and absolutely hysterical. I loved it.

^still wont ever look at deep fried chicken the same ever again. lol

 

[James]

Skyfall

I love this movie, but one thing that bugged me when I first saw it is something I now really hate upon second viewing.

Why was it necessary for Bond to say "I don't believe we've been formally introduced." to Moneypenny? It's really stupid. Given how much time they've already spent together and the fact that Bond's entire business is knowing things (he knew M's real name, which surprised even her) I cannot buy that he wouldn't know Moneypenny's name until that scene. I get that they wanted to save it up for the audience, but that could have just as easily been done even if Bond did know her name. It would have made way more sense to leave the "formally introduced" line out and have him keep the final line "I look forward to our time together Ms. Moneypenny.", it would have worked a million times better, having the same effect on the audience without the completely implausible idea that he didn't know her name.

Other than that, it's great.

That deserves a big 'ol "RIGHT?"

All I'm gonna say is: Gina Gershon is absolutely fearless.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Flight - B

Alex Cross - C (But Matt Fox was pretty awesome; dude looked like he was chiseled out of a block of granite)

Of course he knew her name. You are taking that way too literally. James was just flirting. Ive introduced myself to people ive known for years for various reasons: to flirt, be a smartass, a bit of humor etc. In this case she was entering a new position and Bond was flirting/having a laugh whichever way you want to take it.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Godzilla (1998)

The Raid: Redemption

Cool!

In theaters: The Hobbit
Finally got around to seeing this two weeks ago. The movie is not without its flaws, and I believe it has some major pacing and tonal issues, but I liked it! I was extremely disappointed that all of the goblins were CGI, though. Remember in the LOTR movies when practical effects and special effects makeup were used for the goblins and the orcs? That looked SO much better, and showcased more ingenuity. Just some food for thought ...

At Home: Prometheus
I was really sick during the Summer, so I wasn't able to see it in theaters (which I was TICKED about, because I was excited for it). After hearing all of the disappointment about it, I backed off for a few months before finally deciding to give it a shot. In short, it was ok. There were plotholes galore, but I still found myself enjoying the film. It's well-acted, has gorgeous and chilling visuals, and has a cool concept. It's far from being perfectly executed, but after the cinematic abortions known as Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection, I don't have too much to complain about with Prometheus. Don't get me wrong, though: This isn't even close to matching the greatness of the first two Alien movies.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The Hurt Locker
Meh
I didn't have any positive expectation about it, so not a let down
