The King of Comedy is outstanding and in my opinion, it should be brought up when talking about other Scorcese masterpieces. One of my most favorite films.
Machete -- 8/10 -- people aren't liking this but I'm not sure why. Really funny Mexploitation film in a similar vein to Planet Terror and Dusk 'Till Dawn.
Grown Ups - 6.5/10 Despicable Me - 7/10 Both decent comedies that each had their moments, but neither of them were a must see.
The Town- 7.5/10. Good movie but not as great as I was lead to believe. Affleck should keep directing though, this and Gone Baby Gone were both real good (IMO Gone Baby Gone was better). Been getting into Rescue Me lately and its very good. Mamba, didn't you used to pimp this show?
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps - 7.5/10 Let Me In - 7.5/10 Let Me In was a lot different than I was expecting. It was a completely different take on the typical vampire movie. I enjoyed it, but it was pretty slow moving and definitely not a movie that everyone will enjoy.
I haven't seen the original, but I do intend on doing so here soon enough. I have heard nothing but good things about it.
Crazy Heart -- 8/10 -- extremely strong music and performances layered over a predictable and well-worn story. Bronson -- 8/10 -- something different. Strong performance from Hardy. Survival of the Dead -- 2/10 -- George A. Romero has lost his marbles. Outpost -- 8/10 -- as far as B-action/horror films go, this one isn't nearly as bad as it should be. Infestation -- 8/10 -- pretty funny, good special effects--basically everything those SyFy movies aren't. Resident Evil: Afterlife -- 3/10 -- ever heard of retard strength? This movie is that strongly retarded. Aggressively retarded. Predators -- 7/10 -- stupid and fun. Needed more of the secret "Yoda" character, he was the best thing in the movie.
Jackass 3D - 8/10 Movie was absolutely hilarious, and for me, there was really only one cringe-worthy part, and it involved a cocktail. Anyone that's seen it should know what I'm talking about. I couldn't watch that part, and a dude behind me damn near threw up during it.
Curse of the Golden Flower -- 8/10 -- the first hour is boring but it gives way to a more compelling second half; the film is absolutely gorgeous, the coordinated sequences are amazing, and the sets are unreal.
Parnormal Activity -- 4/10 Well, I've come to the conclusion that I am more scared by things that are not possible (ie: scary mother fuckers, The Grudge, etc) than things that are more believable (ghosts, paranormal spirits). I honestly didn't feel any sort of fear after watching this movie, which highly surprises me. Most of the people I know were scared shitless by this movie but it just didn't work for me. I was more scared by The Grudge. The main chick in the movie had a great pair and her friend was sexy. That's all. //SPOILER// The scariest part for me was when the wife was being dragged down the hallway but it was more of a "WTF?!" moment. //SPOILER// Ghostbusters 2 -- 3/10 Poor acting and a dull plot basically sums up this movie. Possibly one of the tackiest movies ever made. Bill Murray had some funny lines, I guess. Jackass 3D -- 8/10 Shit was lulz. I docked a couple of points because some of the things they did were just god damn disgusting (the sweat drink made me gag).
Paranormal Activity 2 - 6/10 I have to disagree with Ronan. While I wasn't scared by this movie, it certainly did more for me than The Grudge, which is arguably one of the worst movies I've ever watched. While I didn't this was as good as the first (not even close really), it was still decent, even though I only jumped once...which is more than what 99% of horror movies can say.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World -- 7/10 -- didn't like the first half hour or so, reached my hipster tolerance limit, but after that I could get into it.
Due Date - 7.5/10 It was a pretty solid comedy...was a lot like The Hangover (which was expected), but not quite as funny. However, there were some absolutely hysterical moments that had me rolling, and I have to give props to Downey Jr. and Galifinakis, as they were both really, really good in the movie.
MacGruber -- 3/10 -- like every SNL episode there were a couple of funny moments in an otherwise arduous hour and a half.
