Paper Clips - 9/10 10 for the movie, -1 for the cheap DVD with subtitles that not only can you not turn off, but are filled with code like WashingtonPost that the subtitles software didn't understand and they apparently didn't bother to check.
<u>Ironman</u> 9/10 : Probably the best comic book adaptation since Batman Begins. Robert Downey Jr. did a good job and the director did a good job of staying faithful to the Ironman story while making it more relevant to today's audience. The graphics were awesome. <u>Indiana Jones and the ... something about a skull</u> 2/10 : Seriously are there two more currently overrated directors than Steven Spielberg and George Lucas? They've maintained credibility off of their early works and reputation for years now without creating anything substantial. This was a phoned-in piece of crap that they knew would make big money, regardless. The plot made no sense, the graphics were abused and not even that great, and Indy may as well have been the narrator.
8/10 I thought this was a pretty good movie. The only problem I have with it is that it seems to drag on and on and on. I watched this movie last night, and I didn't really think much of it, probably because I was so tired. I didn't realize that it was nearly 3 hour movie, and I didn't want to stop right in the middle of it. But all in all it was a pretty good movie, I'd recommend it if you're into gangster flicks. Also, I have a question. This is supposed to be based on a true story. Did Frank Lucas really have that many brothers, and did he end up screwing them up that badly? Also, did he ever get into contact with his brothers after being released from prison?
7/10. Decent movie, somewhat interesting and has some decent themes. Won't wow you with directing, action, themes, or acting but just a pretty decent all around flick. 7.5/10. Wasn't really funny but I wasn't expecting it to be either. A couple of chuckles, entertaining throughout, pretty good acting, had some worthwhile themes which I didn't really expect. Pretty solid movie but not great.

You can search for the clip that shows her ass. 8.5/10 7.5/10 Both underrated flicks.
I don't know anyone who talks bad about Donnie Darko. It's highly appreciated by most people. As for Gattaca, I agree. I enjoyed that movie.
Yeah Donnie Darko is kickass. I was just thinking at work today about renting that again because I want to see it a second time. Mamba, you can relate to the unmatched depth of thought that one can only experience when working at Longs Drugs. 7.5/10. Cute movie. I don't like using that word but that pretty much sums it up. It reminded me A LOT of Meet the Parents- more of a romantic comedy though not as funny throughout s Meet the Parents but it has several humorous moments. It was a good refresher because I've been watching a lot of violent, dark, depressing movies lately. This got the job done, its funny, not hilarious, but funny, its uplifting. Nothing great but solid movie. Also bonus points for introducing me to Juliette Binoche. Cute (again, don't like using this word but it describes her perfectly) milf who you would want to bring home to mom, shes got a sexy light accent too.
I heard it was an average film. I haven't seen it, but I will. I'm jut glad it's not a porn/gore movie like Hostel.
Hostel made me want to puke. It's been the closet I've ever been to puking, without actually puking. It was so bad, I couldn't believe it.
Hostel put me to sleep. I didn't even find the gore all that disturbing. The Orphanage: 7.5/10 Not bad. It loses marks for not scaring me at all, but it did have its creepy moments and the story was kind of cool. The ending reminded me a lot of Pan's Labyrinth.

Just watched I am Legend, I'm not sure what to really give it. Without Will Smith, it wouldn't have been a good movie. I'll say 6.0-7.5/10. I just can't decide. Sam was the second best character in the film lol .
Apparently the alternate ending (based on the book) made the movie way better. Idunno, I haven't watched it yet. http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/05/mus...his-is-amazing/
I would prefer the 2nd ending only if there was going to be a 2nd movie. Otherwise I kind of prefer the 1st. Nice find though, thanks.
