Nine Miles Down -- 6/10 -- takes an interesting premise and setting but has trouble when it switches from subtle to over the top. Would've been better had the setting/climate stayed as it was at the beginning. The chick in it is mad hot.
Saw the trailer for Clash of the Titans and it looks like one big whopping pile of shit. However, I guarantee it ends up being Moo's favorite movie sometime this year!
For the last few movies I saw: 2012 - 6.5/10: Lots of destruction, good for what you can expect from that type of movie. Across the Universe: 10/10- It's hard not to like this movie. If you like things like The Beatles and love, you will probably like this movie. There are some great trippy scenes in the movie, and the soundtrack of course is awesome, because it's the Beatles. Would recommend taking the movie on psychedelics too. Didn't do it, but the movie has the obvious potential to be great on them. Super High Me: 8/10 - Marijuana spoof of Super Size Me where a comedian goes 30 days without smoking weed, and then smokes weed for 30 days. Very funny movie, and also provides a good look at how the medical marijuana works in Cali (which I had no real idea before the movie) and on some of the effects of marijuana. (Just a quick note, they found no longterm effects, and the only real negative effect they found was short term memory loss while on the drug). Paper Heart: 6/10 - Had potential to be great. A fictionalized documentary of a girl trying to figure out her relation to love. But the lead actress in the movie, Charlene, is kind of annoying, but Michael Cera is gold. Bad Acid: -10/10 - Worst movie ever made.
Really good, really intense movie. Done very well. I would recommend this movie to anyone, not just war movie lovers.
I actually do think it looks really good. Though the movie that I think will end up being my favorite movie of the year should have come out last year, and that's Shutter Island. I've been waiting for that movie since seeing previews the first time for it last spring. Daybreakers - 7/10 A pretty good movie and nice twist on vampire movies.
I've heard decent things about Daybreakers, I want to see it. I can't wait for Shutter Island, I love Scorsese! As for Dicaprio, I like him but I don't love him. He's a hell of an actor, but something about him just bugs me.
Big Fan -- 7/10 -- some terrifically tense scenes cut up by Patton Oswalt's patented pathetic humour to make a nice little film.
District 9 - 8/10 Way better than I thought it would be. Way better. I'm not a big sci-fi fan, so I rented it from redbox before I thought about buying it and damn it was impressive. I'll definitely be picking it up on blu.
The Hurt Locker - 9.5/10 Wow. At first I thought I just wasted my money, but the last hour or so was just phenomenal.
Once Were Warriors -- 6/10 -- strong performances overpowered by an excessively dreary script... piles on the misery in a predictable fashion.
