The Internatioinal


This was a pretty good movie. Despite having a simple plot it moves quickly and at times is hard to follow. But is very entertaining.


7/10

Clerks II


This movie was just stupid. There was no reason to make the movie. The first was very good and didn't need this one to continue any part of the story.


1/10

Two Lovers


Great movie with great acting. It was not fast paced, but was a good pace to keep you interested. Such a great story about being ok with yourself even when things are not perfect.

New in Town


New in Town is a sweet little comedy that makes you smile. Always love Harry Connick, jr. Pretty predictable plot but really enjoyable.


7/10

Doubt


Doubt is a well crafted movie. The acting is solid and the plot is pretty good. The movie leaves you with more questions then answers. The moral for me was be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.


8/10

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince


This movie was very well done. It made a lot of changes from the book, but it was still very good. The cast is progressing well in the movies. I really enjoyed Tom Felton he did a great job. Great movie that gets you ready for the final one.


9/10

Public Emeries

10/10

The Hangover


I really liked the Hangover. It is a fun movie. Just a great cast. Glad to see Bradley Cooper is more stuff. Mike Tyson was awesome. I also loved how you really liked the guys you felt for them they just didn't come off as stupid.




9/10

Star Trek


Star Trek was great. The story was good and moved at a great pace. It was just visually stunning and great special effects. I can't wait for more.

Gregory's Girl


This movie was ok. The characters were flat and story was slow. I expected more, but it was somewhat watchable.


5/10

Rwatless Natives

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


This movie was incredible. The story was amazing. The directing outstanding. Brad Pitt was just greatness. This is a movie I need to watch again soon.


9/10

The Big Lebowski

Happy Go Lucky


Happy-Go-Lucky was a good movie. Poppy is a strong fun character who does not take life to seriously. She enjoys life to the fullest. Good cast and story.


7/10

Revolutionary Road


This movie was rough to watch. Great acting just an intense story. Could be slow and tedious but if you start it you will want to finish it.


7/10

Paul Blart Mall Cop

Paul Blart Mall Cop was much better then I expected. It was funny and held my interest thoughout. With any comedy these days there are some stupid but it is solid.

7/10











Fanboys


Fanboys was a fun movie, especially for Star Wars fan. Its really a dream for any fan to go the Skywalker Ranch. Great plot and fun characters.

Catch Me If You Can


Catch Me If You Can is great movie. Leonardo Di Caprio is amazing. The things he was able to pull off were great. Any actor that can put Tom Hanks in a secondary role is a great actor.


9/10

Burn After Reading


Burning After Reading was not a bad movie. The story was far-fecthed and silly at times, but the tremendous cast really made up for that.


5/10

Invincible


Invincible was a pretty good movie. A feel good heartfelt drama. Solid acting and great true story. I really liked how it made you feel like the city was a secondary character.


6/10

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People


How to Lose Friends & Alienate People is a movie I had high hope for, I am a big Simon Pegg fan. The movie was just slow and had no payoff. The acting was flat.


2/10

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back


Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is ok. It had its funny moments and other moment where I wish it would be over already. But overall I was entertained.


5/10

The Family That Preys


I am not a Tyler Perry fan at all. But this movie didn't look as stupid as some of his others. Still rather painful to watch though. Kathy Bates was the only thing that made me finish it.


2/10

Twlight


Twilight was barely watchable. I loved the book series, but the move was just bad. Bad acting, bad casting, bad pacing. I am hoping the next one will improve.


1/10

Marley & Me


Marley & Me was a good movie. Wilson and Aniston did well. It takes a ton of patience to work with animals especially one of Marley's nature.

Superbad


Superbad was ok. I like Michael Cera and the rest of the cast was good. But I thought the movie dragged a bit and tried to be to funny in places.


4/10

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie


The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie was a good movie. Maggie Smith gives a wonderful proformance. The movie is a great character study. Jean Brodie is seemingly likable, but you can feel she is flawed. She says that others are most important, but only to her gain.


8/10

MILK


MILK was a great movie. Harvey Milk's story was told with heart and power. You felt the emotions and struggle of him and you knew he'd never give up. Sean Penn was just amazing.


8/10

W.


W. was a well done movie. The acting was great. I think the story of Bush was pretty on the mark. I don't think it can be completely right in some ways, because I think Oliver Stone always puts his own spin on things. Overall a great movie.


7/10

Vicky Cristina Barcelona


Vicky Cristina Barcelona was pretty good. I'm not a Woody Allen fan, but I have to admit this movie kept me interested. A good story and beautifully shot.
6/10

He's Just Not That into You


He's Just Not That into You was a good movie. A tremendous cast and just very entertaining. There were a lot of different stories going on at once, but it all blended nicely. Fun movie.

7/10

Zack and Miri Make a Porno


Zack and Miri Make a Porno was pretty good. I am Kevin Smith fan. So I knew it would have its crude moments but I thought it was really well done. Loved the star wars parts. A great cast. I love Seth Rogen. And Elizabeth Banks has become a huge star.


7/10

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist


Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist was ok. I wanted to like it more then I did. There a good plot and I do like Michael Cera. But I felt the film really dragged in the middle.


5/10

Traitor


Traitor was awful. It was slow, the acting was bad and had nothing to keep you interested.


1/10

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian


The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a pretty good movie. It was full of action and was a good story. I really they had at least one notable actor in these movie though. But I suppose if the series continues these actor may become big names.


6/10

Dark Passage


Dark Passage is a good film. It is very well done. The main character escapes from prison and meets women who thinks he is innocent. Knowing he could never prove it and set to get a new face. Great acting.


8/10

Slumdog Millionire


Slumdog Millionaire is a great movie. The story was told so well and had such a great flow for having so much going on. Great acting as well from an unknown cast. It is a movie I will need to see again to absorb it all.


10/10

The Wrestler


The Wrestler is good movie. Mickey Rouke gave a great proformance I really felt he deserved the Oscar. The movie gave a great look at the life of a wrestler and what it really takes to live that life.


10/10

The Reader


The Reader is a tremendous movie. Kate Winslet was incredible. A great story adapted to the screen so well. You felt every emotion that was put out.


10/10

Stand By Me


Stand By Me is a great movie. The friendship and adventure shared between the boys is wonderful. The character development is great. All four boys have great human story. You feel what they feel.

Pineapple Express


Pineapple Express is about a process server who witnesses a murder and turns to his drug dealer friend for help. I love Seth Rogen so had high hopes for this movie, but hated it. It was so stupid. Just pointless.


0/10

The Secret Life of Bees


The Secret Life of Bees had a great cast and was a great story. But the movie itself was flat to me. Very slow and took forever to make a point.


1/10

Hope Spings


Hope Springs is about a man who is recently dumped who travels to this small town to forget his troubles, Even though they feel he is bit odd everyone grows fond of him. He soon falls in love and then of course his old shows up to profess her love for him.

A funny quiky comedy worth a Saturday night.


6/10

Ghost World


A very good movie. Ghost is about the two slacker girls who graduate high school and try find their place without conforming. Enid forms a friendship with Seymour a strange eccentric guy who collects record. This draws her away from her best friend.
The characters are very odd but you feel a connection with them and they draw in very well. A very interesting movie.
