Date Night (Extended Cut)

5/10

It seemed like it was dragging on, but that could be because it was about a half and hour longer than the theatrical release. Al though Carrel, Fey, and Wahlberg are all funny I found that there wasn't really anything that warranted a lot of laughs in this film. Disappointing to say the least. The part I liked the most was with when they were having dinner and started mocking other couples having dinner. It was okay, but as a comedy it was lacking.

The Corporation

7/10

Not at all objective; which is usually what I look for in a documentary. It was very informative though and I agreed with some of the points about how capitalist and the people within large corporations work. While a lot of the information being shoved down the throat is serious in content it had a few moments where it was pretty amusing as well.

Cloverfield

5/10

Finally decided to give this film a full run-through. I still don't like the hand-held gimmick, but at least it wasn't as nauseating as when it was done in the Bourne movies. The only time it seemed to really work was in Rec.

Critical Mass

5/10

A rare experimental short film where a man and a woman from New York have an agruement against a white wall. The entire time we see just their profiles. In some parts the screen becomes completely black and then fades back. The sounds are repetitious and annoying; much like an actual argument. At the end the screen becomes black again and we begin to hear sexual noises. It was weird, simplistic, and pretentious, but the acting was good.

Synthesia?

3/10

I can't remember the exact name right now. Like the Critical Mass, it's also a rare experimental film shot in black in white. This one includes a variety of different shorts featuring models and actresses from the 60s...naked models and actresses. One of the ones included a shoot with Marylin Monroe in a 13 minute thing of her doing weird . "Through With Love" plays on repeat, but the exact same part plays over and over so the actual song never actually finishes. Then what appears to be grain that actually looks like sperm covers the whole video. In the movie, she squeezes her breasts and then rolls an apple off of her stomach. I dunno wtf. Every time I thought it was over it would start up again. At first I thought this was funny, then I wanted it to be over. >=( Hated it!
