I liked Dog Soldiers a lot but I like werewolf movies and finding one that isn't complete crap is hard lol.
Dude, Where's My Car? 8/10
This was on cable the other night and I still think it is as funny as seeing it opening night. Why this movie is considered bad yet Adam Sandler makes movies that are much worse and manage to generate hundreds of millions of dollars is beyond me. This movie has too much original humor to be bad.
Django Unchained - 8.5/10. I thought I wouldn't like it given all the hype and awards. I liked it a lot. Very good story and Christoph Waltz was excellent in it.
you base whether or not you will like movies, based on the opposite of the acclaim they get?
No, but sometimes when you have high expectations for a movie because of the hype, you can be very dissapointed. But this wasn't the case for me. That's what I meant.
OK, since this is far from the first, but easily has the most hilarious synopsis...where are you finding these movies?
Watched it with you and I'd give it 8.5/10. It really is a whole lot better than most movies I've watched.
Loved that movie. Hilarious.
Watched "Flight" last night. Damn, Denzel did an awesome job (weird). 9/10
Why weird? Do you typically not enjoy his films? He is an awesome actor, but I'll admit I haven't seen some of his more recent work. I did see flight and he was awesome in it.
Remember the Titans - 9/10
I could watch this movie anytime. It was on TV last week sometime and my son was really into it. To my surprise, he'd never seen it so I told him to turn it off so the whole family could watch it later that night. Denzel was awesome in this move too!
Les Mis (2012) 7/10: WTF did I just watch? Fiancee and I were excited to watch it, but kept out expectations low because of the reviews. We were expecting the standard musical with dialogues in between. The whole fvcking movie is singing. You heard that right- 99.5% is singing. It's. constant. endless. singing. Every word, every sentence is sung in notes. We were quite thrown off. And the dubbing was too obvious, so was the lip syncing. That turned me off greatly as well. The plot and presentation was good, but obvious dubbing and continuous singing was terribly off-putting.
The Hobbit 7.5/10: Forgettable but good. Also watched it with low expectations, but we were pleasantly surprised. Beautiful scenery, same folklore-like plot, great 'guest' appearances from LOTR movies. Overall we enjoyed it.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower 8/10: I'm a huge sucker for nostalgia and coming-of-age films. The first half was rather underwhelming- typical teens going through typical awkwardness, dealing with HS, etc. But then the latter half but very interesting with the disturbing underbelly. It was very well done. I liked it.
