7.5/10. Pretty solid little crime-thriller type movie. If you liked Memento you might like this; the main character has a similar mental issue and all of the elements of the story that are shown all end up coming together at the end. Its not great but a nice movie that was relatively unheralded. I like the cast too: Joseph Gordon-Levitt (of 3rd Rock from the Sun fame), Jeff Daniels was great (Dumb and Dumber guy), Isla fisher (aka the crazy redhead chick from Wedding Crashers). Alex Borstein is in it randomly as well. This movie is sort of in the mold of a Harsh Times or Running Scared but with less over the top action. Its more "realistic" and deeper than those two but similar in that its a pretty well done movie that didn't get a lot of acclaim.

Gone Baby Gone 9/10

And I still have a half an hour left in the movie. It's so good, so entertaining, and it really makes you think.

Next up: Teeth (about the toothed verginas), then High Noon.

I got that one sitting on my desk in front of me. Can't wait to watch it, thought it would be better to watch the Lookout tonight because I have an AP test tomorrow and don't want to get too sidetracked tonight. After tomorrow though I'll have the weekend to absorb Gone Baby Gone.

Glad I have Netflix back. School is finally winding down and Warriors and Sharks seasons' are over so I have plenty of time to watch movies. Next up on the queue; Sweeney Todd and Requiem for a Dream.

Iron Man - 9/10

Lacked action, but great storyline and character development, pretty humerous as well.

[Denny Crane]

Total surprise. Adam Sandler in a top-notch serious acting role, along with Don Cheadle (one of my favorite actors) doing a superb acting job as well.

Extremely depressing movie. Sandler's character lost his wife and 3 daughters on one of the planes on 9/11, and goes into one of the deepest funks you can imagine. Beyond that, I won't spoil the movie for anyone who's not seen it.

9/10 or 10/10 even.

What prevents it from being a 9/10?(You seem unsure!)

[Denny Crane]

Heh

Is there such a thing as a 10/10?

Rhetorical question.

Point being it was one of the better drama movies I've seen in years.

Master & Commander

7/10

I enjoyed it.

I loved that movie. Great storyline, acting and well directed. A must see.

9/10. Really good movie, fantastic casting and storytelling. Makes you think your ass off and everything connects to everything else. Tons of themes to think about. Very, very good movie.


(sorry for the shit image, its Dead Man Walking)
8.5/10. Watching this for the second time in school. Also very good and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

[Run BJM]

8/10- Good movie. Its a little slow at times but understandable considering its based on true events and really more of a movie to raise social awareness rather than pure entertainment.

Iron Man - 10/10.

Great action, story line and I love the Audi R8 he had. I was wishin' I had one too. It was also great to see SLJ at the end as Nick Fury. Can't wait for the second one.

Teeth 8/10

Good movie, scared the shit outta me. But that girl was still sexy as hell.

[Big Frame]

Could not stand this film.

I watched Speed Racer and Iron Man. Both really good. 9/10's. Speed Racer stayed true to the TOON!

Ironman=7.5/10
Not enough action, half the movie seemed prolonged.

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay - 7.9/10
Good movie, pretty hilarious.

[Run BJM]

8/10. Pretty fuggin insane. Extremely fascinating how they show you how people become junkies and what the outcome can be. Just crazy.

[cpawfan]

6.5/10

Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt were all very good.

Solid popcorn date movie

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay-6.5/10

It was alright. Not as good as the first, but worth seeing.

I saw it too, I'd give it a 7.

Chick Flick of course.

4/10. Maybe I just didn't get it but it was really boring, somewhat confusing, not very intense at all, just generally could not hold my interest. WTF was the point? Why should I care about this crap? I think I may not have given it a fair shake because I wasn't 100% focused on the movie since I wasn't in the theater but godamn this thing was agonizing to watch.

The Great Debaters: 8/10

Solid movie. I love Denzel and he was very good in this role. Forrest Whitaker was also awesome, as usual. However, I was impressed with the young cast in this movie...great acting by the young people.

[Run BJM]

11/10. Fucking fantastic, anyone who hasn't seen this yet FIND A WAY TO WATCH THIS. Godamnit I loved this movie. The directing was amazing. I love the different styles the director used in the cinematography. Incredible. Acting was surprisingly good considering its a bunch of people you've never heard of and a lot of very young actors (children, teenagers, young adults). They really made you believe it was real. What an amazing movie. The whole movie was in Portuguese with english subtitles but it doesn't hold back the movie at all.

Quick synopsis for those of you who haven't seen it; Its the story of a kid in Ciudade de Deus (translates to "City of God") which is the slums of Rio de Janiero. It begins with him as a young kid about 10-12 years old and he narrates the story of all of the happenings within these slums, how certain gangsters in the area take over and all of the activity that happens with these gangsters. Violence, sex, lots of drugs, murders, robbings, everything you would expect from a bunch of 14-20 year old gangsters who basically run the slums. Most of the story is about what goes on with these people but in the end its ultimately about this gyu who is narrating the story and how he grew up and tried to make it out of "The City". I won't give away what happens but its really a great movie, please see it.

Agreed, I'd give it a 9.

Depressing ending though.
