Shaun of the Dead.

It never gets old for me.

 

[Punisher Rising]

Guyver: Out Of Control

[Perfect Cell]

Superman Vs. The Elite. Pretty incredible, despite the less-than-attractive animation style.

 

[Vengeance of Bane]

Prometheus 1-2/5. Disappointed to say the least.

Giant (1956)
This is a great movie and a valuable classic, but unfortunately, I only rate movie based on how much I like them; how good they are doesn't matter.
Liz Taylor, Rock Hudson and James Dean were great though, especially Dean: he was an unlikable a-hole yet in the end you felt somewhat sorry for him.
-- 2.5/5

Red Cliff - Part 2
As good as Pt. 1, but it still has too much silly melodrama. And the main villain in the end was just an overrated jerk.
-- 3/5

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Four Weddings And A Funeral

4/5

I usually can't abide Rom-Com's but this is thoroughly charming stuff (once you get past Andi McDowell's unbelievably bad acting)

Take Shelter--8.5/10

I'm not entirely sure what to make of the ending, but I know I liked the movie a lot. Even though the buildup is slow, I maintained a high level of interest, and Michael Shannon's performance is brilliant.

That cafeteria scene was gold.

 

[Max J Power]

^Indeed, it was.

The Hunger Games--8/10

The shift from the first-person viewpoint of the novel improved the story in some ways, but there were a couple changes/omissions that, while not quite significant, made a difference for the worse. I was fine with the shooting style, though I would have liked a little less camera movement in a couple of the fight scenes.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol--8.5/10

Except for not having any great characters (the achilles heel of the MI series has always been that Ethan Hunt and co. are good but not remarkable action heroes), it was awesome. Brad Bird's action sequences are some of the best I've seen in recent years and the fun is non-stop. It's like seeing one of the over-the-top, gadget-filled James Bond movies, only made today.

Green Lantern

I've rewatched it last night... and I still don't see why people hate it. The biggest sin is that the film crams in two films' worth of material, and rushes through it (and what's worse, Parallax is horribly utilized). And the performances from the supporting cast -- like Tim Robbins and Peter Sarsgaard -- are just hammy and lack nuance. The main cast wasn't problematic, even Blake Lively.

But whenever Hal is exploring his powers and Oa-centered scenes come on, the movie hits those delicious highs a good superhero film gets. And for the flack they got, I thought Sony Pictures Imageworks did an impressive job on the GL suits. They weren't photorealistic like WETA or ILM's motion-capture work, but they were impressively detailed and convincing overall.

But you could tell Martin Campbell was out of his depth here. Some of the action scenes lack his signature flair, but I attribute that to his inexperience with a film with so many CGI shots. A more experienced director like Matthew Vaughn would've changed this into a truly exciting movie.

6/10

Hugo

I liked this one. Real heartwarming stuff.

The Guard

Still holds up as one of the funniest comedies in years. The same stuff that had me cracking up in the theatre still has me laughing my bollocks off.

 

[DyeLorean]

Enter Nowhere.

A little mystery movie that came from nowhere (pun intended) and it delivers in the twist and claustrophobic departments. For lovers of science fiction, mystery and suspense. No gore. And a movie that, if you looked closely to the details, is worth.
