    Tropic Thunder=8.5/10

    Kirk Lazarus: [to Tugg Speedman] Huh! What do you mean "You People?"
    Alpa Chino: [stares at Lazarus, and then gets angry] What do you mean "You People?"
    Kirk Lazarus: What?

    -----

    Tugg Speedman: Wait, guys, are you telling me you're giving up on the movie? I thought we were supposed to be a team, a unit.
    Kirk Lazarus: Suck my unit.

    Arguably the funniest movie of the 2000's. Definitely should be considered one of the best comedies of the 2000's at least.

    I was very surprised by this movie. It good throughout. Kept me entertained, kept me into it. I still can't stand Josh Hartnett.

    Heath did a good job, especially for a kid his age, but the villian always gets the best material in these sorts of movies. I was thinking more about the plot, which was very derivative, predictable, and generally boring. The entire movie was telegraphed from the very beginning. It had all the typical mythical elements, but they were so completely undisguised and as subtle as a sledgehammer--I'm referring to the arcs of all the major characters, the path of the hero's journey, etc. There were absolutely no surprises.

    I can differentiate between recognizing a good performance by a particular actor, and a good movie. This movie was just so unspectacular, that I literally remember almost nothing about it, and I saw it less than ten days ago--the day before I wrote that post.

    I agree. Tropic Thunder was brilliant. The only downside was that it was often hard to understand what Downey was saying.

    Tropic Thunder (9/10) - Such a funny movie, nonstop laughter and alot of jokes everywhere. Just great.

    Moulin Rouge (10/10) - I just really like this movie, I've seen it multiple times and just, it's gripping. The singing is great too, unlike how Mamma Mia had a tone deaf Pierce Bronsan singing....

    Dark Knight (10/10) - Without nitpicking, this movie was brilliant. I've seen it multiple times and everytime I see the Joker I get chills. Just played brilliantly.

    In Bruges
    (9 out of 10)

    Starring
    Colin Farrell
    Brendan Gleeson
    Ralph Fiennes

    [​IMG]

    An absolutely fucking brilliant film. I was so surprised to see Colin Farrell in this because he's usually starring in crap films. In any case, the story is well-written and will surprise many people at how entertaining it is all-around. A hilarious bloody gangster-style film.

    Ray (Colin Farrell) and his senior colleague Ken (Brendan Gleeson) are sent to the quaint Belgian city of Bruges by their high-strung, foulmouthed employer Harry (Ralph Fiennes), and told to await further instructions. While Ken takes in the sights and historic medieval buildings, Ray is morose and withdrawn, disgruntled with the lack of local nightlife.

    If I wrote any more about the story it would ruin the experience you could have with this film that I had. Easily one of my favorite films and a huge feature-length film debut surprise by Oscar winner writer/director Martin McDonagh. I highly recommend In Bruges to everyone, though be aware it has moments of extreme violence and plenty of swearing.

    Here are some clips.

    7/10. Decent movie.

    [​IMG]
    9/10. So friggen great I can't even express it. Its extremely endearing- by the time I finished the first 3 episodes I literally couldn't stop watching. Captures the true essence of being in high school with all of the downs, the few ups, and the chronic awkwardness.

    Just seen "you don't mess with the Zohan". Wasn't expecting much in the way of Groundbreaking films but i was pleasantly surprised. Adam Sandler was really funny as Zohan and i laughed pretty much all the way through.

    Just put In Bruges up near the top of my Netflix queue.

    8/10. I thought it was a good movie overall but didn't think it was as epic as its made out to be. Probably lost a lot of its luster because I'm so detached from the Vietnam War. I'm sure if I was around closer to the time of Vietnam it would hit me a little harder though. It was better than Heart of Darkness but I hated that book lol.

    In Bruges is a great film. I was skeptical at first, but I really enjoyed it.

So yeah even if you dont like anime, this will p[lease you, especially those who like to be completely tripped out by a film, it really fuks with your perception of reality and time, so check it out.

    'Donnie Darko.' Wow.

    There's a sequel coming out due to be released next year, 'S. Darko.' Why would they do that?!

    I never knew much about Iron Man, but I remember playing a couple of games and seeing someone who resembles him. I did a bit of research on wikipedia, and it turns out to be War Machine.

    He's going to be in the sequel, so that's cool.

    I always thought he looked more badass, too.

    8/10. Was just ok for most of the movie but the end is insanity (in a good way). Ties everything together whilst blowing your mind. I might have to watch this again because I was high off my ass earlier today and still not all there. Plus I missed a good amount of dialogue earlier in the movie because of the accents.

    7.5/10

    Unfortunately, I missed the first part of the movie, but the movie sucked me in to watch it through to the ending. Forest Whitaker was great playing Idi Amin. Certainly not a light or family friendly movie but well acted and well paced to keep you on edge to see what happens next, even though you know what the end result is.

    Gay/10.

    Seriously though, 7.5/10. It is pretty gay but you do get to see Anne Hathaway's tits plus I'm in love with Linda Cardellini. Ok movie in general but not great. I don't think I really 'got it' though.
