Yeah, you really can't bring the number 23 into a movie and expect it to be good. I haven't seen it, but I've heard from friends and read reviews that say it's terrible. Numerology of that kind is so vast for a movie.
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly 11/10 Directed by Sergio Leone, starring Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef. I had seen this once years ago, but it was not until now that I watched it from beginning to end. Amazingly enagiging, with perfect bouts of comical moments by Eli Wallach, who is the "Ugly", and plays Tuco. Lee Van Cleef plays the "Bad", with Clint Eastwood playing the "Good". This movie has it all, except for a woman. This story deals with the pursuit of money ($200,000) and secrets involved in the location of the money. This leads to some quite comical and tense situations. All 3 characters were born to play their roles, and I must commend Eli Wallach on his Tuco character, as it was deftinteley the glue that held the movie togother. I have no hesitation in recommending this movie, but do steer clear if you cannot stand Sergio Leone's close-ups and minutes of no dialogue, but plenty of action, and, naturally, Westerns(Wild West settings, gunslinger gunfights).
The Last King Of Scotland- 7.5/10 Great movie, but why was Forest Whitaker best actor? He was brilliant as Idi Amin, but the movie revolved around James McAvoy`s role of him being Amin`s doctor...
<div class="quote_poster">Answer_AI03 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Grindhouse: 10/10 easily the best movie i have seen in theaters in a long time. Has everything you would want from a scary/action/sci-fi movie.</div> Same here. 2 movies for the price of one + that amazing car chase in the end.
8.5/10 Good movie, but the ending was a bit weird. I thought Paul Walker played the part really well.
^I l was expecting another lame Paul Walker movie, but I thought it was really good. Spider-Man 3: 7/10 Good
HARD CANDY 10/10 Directed by David Slade, starring Patrick Wilson, Ellen Page, and Sandra Oh. I will start off my review by recanting a few quotes about this film. "Two Thumbs Up" -Ebert and Roeper "Riveting and Terrifying" -Claudia Puig, USA Today "The Performances are Extraordinary!" -Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal "A Fiendish, Scalpep-Sharp Thriller..." -Dennis Demody, Paper "Beyond Intense!.... It's 'Fatal Attraction' for a new generation." -Pete Hammond, Maxim I'd like to expand on Pete Hammond's quote... "Fatal Attraction meets Death Wish" - Me I had heard of this film when it first came on DVD, but for some reason never got around to watching it until recently, last week. I put the DVD into my laptop, ready to watch it and fall asleep if it did not keep me entertained or engaged. The visual style took me in from the start, but it was not until Hayley (Ellen Page) started taking over the screen was I engulfed into this film, and HOOKED. To put it mildly, I barely blinked throughout the entire film. If I was a pedophile, this kind of film would scare the living bejezzus out of me. I am not a pedophile, yet this movie had me awake for a good hour after viewing. It is very thought provoking, and quite a marvelous film. A shaky camera is employed in scenes, and I usually do not like shaky cameras, buut it was VERY apprpropriate for this film, and the messages, feel it was trying to convey. David Slade did a remarkable job directing, setting everything up seamlessly, and Patrick Wilson and Ellen Page are eletricfying beyond believable in their roles. Don't expect much of Sandra Oh in this film, I don't think she even got five minutes screen time in this. Paul Kersey (The character Charles Bronson plays in Death Wish) would be very proud of Hayley Stark (Ellen Page) in this film. Not very many men will be able to watch this film without cringing, and I can picture a number of women rooting for Hayley in this movie, and loving the film even more than a man could. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Running With Sisscors 2/10 1 point for good and wacky characters, 1 point for, being laughably funny, but not comedically, for being laughably bad. This is based on the memoirs with the same name by Augusten Burroughs. Not recommended, unless you are just instatisbly curious or incredibly bored. Gunbuster 10/10 6 episode anime OVA (Original Video Animation) by Hideaki Anno, director of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I like to dub this "The greatest sci-fi story ever told". It just is so many levels of awesome, and sheer numbers, sheer will. Noriko, a teeange pilot of the giant mecha Gunbuster goes up aganist billions of aliens, and the fate of humanity rests on her shoulders. Gunbuster also features one of the best, if not the best endings of ALL media, IMO.
I've actually seen a few movies as of a late, but i'll comment on the last one Spider Man 3 = overrated.....bad acting, bad plot, too many cornball scenes (spiderman crying, spiderman dancing,etc.)......there's some good action scenes, but it's not worth wasting your money on imo.

It was actually pretty good.
Half-Nelson: 10/10 If it weren't for this thread, I wouldn't even have known of this movie. I really enjoyed it. The characters were so real.
Yes, I'm bias when it comes to Spiderman. The only beef I have is that there should have been more Venom. It was cool seeing him in the final battle, but I would have enjoyed it more if he was in the whole movie. Can't wait for the next one.
<div class="quote_poster">Apollo Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">^Gahhh I still haven`t seen it. I heard Ryan Gosling was awesome.</div> You can pick it up at Blockbuster now. I had kind of forgotten about it, but saw it when I was looking to rent Blood Diamond. As for Gosling, his performance definitely stood out. He's definitely grown into a terrific actor (I remember when he was on Breaker High... god, that was a terrible show). That young black girl also did a good job.
