I took my teenage daughter and some friends to see Scott Pilgrim last night. I am still trying to wrap my brain around what I saw. I definately laughed and enjoyed myself, but I'm not sure if it was really stupid or really brilliant. I never read the comic books, and knew nothing about the movie before I went. I love Michael Cera though, and I thought Kieran Culkin was great in this movie. I guess I would give it 8.5 outa 10. Not for everyone, but I liked it.
I watched Kick Ass on Blu Ray from Netflix a couple days ago. I thought it would be just ok but it was great. I know it isn't PC for some people but it didn't bother me at all. I loved Dark Knight but for just being entertained and would want to watch again I liked Kick Ass more. I would rate it 9 out of 10.
Kick Ass was better than I expected it to be. I saw Machete last night, also better than I expected it to be.
(500) Days Of Summer - 7.5/10 I could relate to Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character. Good plot. [video=youtube;PsD0NpFSADM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsD0NpFSADM[/video]
Transsiberian - Great whodunit on a remote train with Woody Harrelson 8/10 City Island - another really good movie - a dramedy with Andy Garcia 8/10
Bruno - 7.5 The reactions were epic. I can't believe what he did at the MMA event. Sacha Baron Cohen is an evil genius. His agent, Lloyd Anderson, was hilarious. (500) Days Of Summer - 9.5/10 I watched this again and I have to say it's an extremely well made movie. I have to bump up my rating. Definitely one of my favorites.
Splice (2009) - Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley and Delphine Chanéac 5/10 Has anyone seen this? Really weird.
I can understand why people liked it as a philosophic talking point, but the movie was completely different than the previews. I knew something was wrong when it started with the really artsy credits. Honestly I left the theater really weirded out
When the stuff happened that I know you know what I'm talking about, I was like just like "..what the fuck?..." I mean seriously, what the fuck. It was good and somewhat normal until then. Then I was weirded out as well. I was so confused cause I didn't know why that would happen.
Remember The Daze - 6.5 If you graduated HS in the early 2000's this movie will bring back a lot of memories.
Hangover 2. 6/10 Pretty much what I was expecting. It had a few hilarious scenes, but definitely fell short of the bar set so high by the first. It proved to be a pretty unnecessary sequel, which I was concerned about when it was first announced.
