Would You Rather - 8/10
I was really looking forward to this film, and it did not disappoint! Fantastic low budget horror flick, with an awesome cast. Robb Wells (Ricky from Trailer Park Boys) was especially excellent! I just love that guy. The movie overall was great, and I'd recommend it to any horror film buff. The ending was maybe a bit anti-climatic, but it fit the film IMO.

It Might Get Loud: 9.5/10. My favourite documentary of all time. Jimmy Page is a GOD, when he plays Ramble On it makes the hairs on my neck stand up. What an absolute legend. And it is so amazing to see how he felt about his career, how he went to art school for a while, how being a studio guitarist was really draining for him, how he got his start from a guitar left at a house he moved into. As a diehard Zep fan, it was totally worth it for that alone. Jack White was also fantastic - dat coke bottle slide guitar! He comes off as extremely pretentious, but he seems to appreciate the "mainstream" style of The Edge and Jimmy Page. The Edge was kind of what let the movie down for me. He was very down to earth, very chill, but his style just doesn't shout out "guitar legend" to me. It provides an interesting counterpoint I suppose, Page is skill, White is style, Edge is technical/modern. Would be perfect with perhaps slightly better editing (it's a little bit jumpy) and with a different guiatarist than The Edge.

Prometheus: 2/10

Insults my intelligence:
1) By 2089 we still won't have spaceships or androids like that.
2) Surgical robot uses non-sterile technique
3) Alien has same DNA as us, so why is he bigger and stronger and pale?
4) First thing alien does when he wakes up is go on a rampage; WTF???

 

[DrPizza]

Riddick 3: 6/10 Meh.

Kick-Ass 2: 6/10 Meh.

Both movies had enjoyable stretches, and long boring stretches.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides - 9/10 - Loved it. It's an action/fun movie, and I can't believe it cleared over a billion dollars. The movie is just stupid fun and very entertaining. A local channel got TV broadcasting rights and played it about 8 times over the past week. I probably saw it 3 times...

While I didn't like the movie either, why are some people bigger and stronger and more pale than others? We all have human DNA. "Dean! Stop riding the Perfect Man." /Dr. Venture

Riddick 3: 6/10 Meh.

I'm somewhat disappointed with the poor ratings this movie is getting. I was really hoping that it would be worthwhile, but I'm tempted to not even waste my money now. :\ I heard that they spend way too much time with Riddick at the beginning just doing "training." Also, I get the feeling that these movies would be better with far bigger budgets. One complaint that I heard about Riddick is that the CG is pretty awful at places. After watching Pitch Black again, I was hoping that the CG would be a lot better as the monsters in Pitch Black look like they're from a PlayStation video game pre-rendered cinematic.

Kick-Ass 2: 6/10 Meh.

This also ended up being a pretty big disappointment for me, and I think it's the same problem as above: budget. I heard that the budget for Kick-Ass 2 was actually lower than the original, but the scope is definitely much larger. I heard a story from the director about how when Jim Carrey came in, he really wanted to get into character with prosthetics and stuff, but the budget just simply wouldn't allow it. So, Jim Carrey paid for it himself!

The soundtrack from M83 is epic - that word gets overused nowadays, but the breadth of emotion in the score deserves that description. I particularly like Track 2 - "waking up". It sets your pulse pounding and is a perfect match for the slow build emotional barrage of the movie.

I had a guy at work pretty much extol this movie, and as he put it, "I normally don't like Tom Cruise -- just haven't liked him since Risky Business -- but I really liked this movie!" When it released in theaters, I was hesitant to see it because of the poor reviews, and I was still hesitant when it came out. However, I figured that I would give it a shot with such a glowing review.

I don't think I liked it as much as him, as I'd probably give it a 7/10, but it was definitely not deserving of the poor reviews it got at release. Now, I quoted that specific part of your post, because this is what I told the guy at work, "I thought it was good overall, and I thought the music was better than the acting which was better than the story." Man, I loved the music in the movie, and I was finally glad to see a movie that doesn't screw up its music. Far too often, movies are willing to drop the volume so far on the music that you barely hear it. In scenes with a lot of action or very little dialog, let us hear the wonderful tunes! Some of my favorite movie soundtracks are also some of the ones with the loudest soundtracks. Some examples are movies like Inception, Pacific Rim, etc.

I watched Olympus has Fallen last night...Typical good guys US battling the bad N\Korea and I have to say I felt angst against the baddies too...LOL. I really like Morgan Freeman, and the movies was quite good, if not that believeable....all action and good with it..

My only complaint here is that I thought the script could have been tighter with some of the witty quips. I mean... it felt like a Die Hard movie, but without the epic script. It was definitely better than A Good Day to Die Hard!

EDIT:

3) Alien has same DNA as us, so why is he bigger and stronger and pale?

It doesn't have the same DNA. Our DNA was based off of theirs.

4) First thing alien does when he wakes up is go on a rampage; WTF???

Because they were trying to exterminate us with the Xenomorphs.

Also the fact that the ship was not equipped with any kind of weaponry or stuff to protect them from potential aliens.. What a crock of shite... At the end when they had to do a bonzai attack I was like whatever!!!!

iceman - 8/10

was a very interesting movie. i did not realize this was about the true story when i first rented it, but it clicked in the middle of the movie because i all of a sudden remembered watching some special about this guy on tv and he was one cold son of a bitch. it's a pretty neat story of how he became a hitman and his downfall. acting was pretty good in it as well. after watching it my wife imediately wanted to watch the documentary on the guy and we found it on youtube which was cool.

just a heads up if anyone cares, but over on FYE you can get World War Z and Star Trek Into Darkness 3D blurays for $31.78 shipped for both, making it about $16/movie which is pretty cheap. i just snagged both of them since i haven't seen either of them.

I'm not sure why, but I could never get into this series. I know it's popular, but I just think they are eh...

The Conscientious Objector

Documentary about a guy in WW2 that refused to carry a gun due to his religious beliefs, and how the Army tried to get rid of him at every opportunity, yet as a medic, he rescued numerous soldiers from the front line and won the medal of honor. Never picking up a gun.

First half of doc 9/10
Second half 6/10

 

[Muse]

L'Atalante 9/10


Masterpiece of Jean Vigo, who barely completed it virtually on his death bed, dieing of tuberculosis at 29 in 1933. Early talkie, it's quite a marvel. Wonderful music, delightful casting/acting, I can think of no other movie like it. The 2001 release is a restoration to 89 minutes, a far cry from the 62 minute severely edited early release version. Roger Ebert's review of it is outstanding. The featurette on the DVD is well worth visiting after a watch. I saw this first around 5 years ago, rewatched it last week.

And the problem with every alien movie ....... What the hell do they eat to grow so quickly?

And the problem with every alien movie ....... What the hell do they eat to grow so quickly?

That's the problem with Prometheus too and I keep having to explain to critics of that movie that the aliens didn't eat in the previous movies either. I always said it must be some kind of bio-cold-fusion and they are converting atmospheric matter.

Not to defend Prometheus. It's still a bad movie.

 

[richardycc]

now you see me - 9/10, I love magic, and this movie kept me entertained throughout with its twists and turns.

 

[Svnla]

Riddick - 7.5/10. Typical action movie. Same character at a new forsaken planet.

Now You Are Next - 7.5/10. Horror movie with a twist, not the same stupid horror type, let say "inside information". Love the main character that knows how to fight back.

GetAway - 7/10. The only saving grace for this movie was the nice Shelby and some neat car chasing scenes at the end and the plot twist at the end. The little girl was so annoying, as bad as Will Smith's son.

You're an idiot. I give your post a 2/10.

Already mentioned, but Timecrimes.
I enjoyed it a lot, but I still don't understand some parts, even though I read through the childish arguments between posters on the imdb message board.

 

[dainthomas]

Pain & Gain: 2/10

I didn't give it a one because a couple parts were mildly amusing. Otherwise none of the characters were likeable or funny. I actually walked out of the room for 20 minutes while it was playing to go water my yard. Got back and it was the same nonsense. Glad I only redboxed it.

 

[purbeast0]

star trek into darkness 3d - 9/10

i really enjoyed this movie a lot. i want to now go back and watch the first one again because i haven't seen it since the theater. the visuals and sound in this movie were top notch as well. it has a really boomy soundtrack and the 3d was great, although i don't feel that this movie benefited from 3d as much as other movies do.

Oblivion - 3/10

Premise sounded cool, but they went WAY out of their way on stuff that I could see watching some romance movie. I get what they were going for but the execution was terrible.

 

[drbrock]

This is the End 5/10

Thought it was funny but not amazing. Jokes got kind of tired. If you liked Pineapple Express you should like this movie. Had the same feel.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

Oblivion -7.9/10 - As is the problem with all movies that contain a

Spoiler

technologically superior race (or superhero), its not believable that such a dominant force would be subverted so easily. In fact, its hard to explain why they would even need human involvement whatsoever. If they have the technology to build and automate the Tet and drones, they certainly could automate the repair (or construction and salvage) of the drones.

. That being said I enjoyed the movie, especially the A/V.

 

[shortylickens]

ATM

not good. not good at all.
Kinda believable 3 young people with no street experience would panic and act stupid.
But I also have a hard time believe such people would forget their phones, and also park so far from ATM in 5 below weather.
