The Truman Show

Fantastic movie. Jim Carrey plays a really good role in this one. I loved the ending.

9/10

Shutter Island. This is a good movie that is a victim of a bad ad campaign. The trailer makes it look like a spooky atmospheric horror movie when in fact it's a very serious psychological study. The visuals are well done and forboding but it's more about the interiors of the mind than externals. I wasn't prepared for that so the movie caught me off guard.

If you really want to see a spooky atmospheric horror films set in a mental hospital, rent Session 9, which was filmed in a real abandoned mental hospital, which gives a whole level of dread that a movie filmed on a set would lack.

The Hitcher with Sean Bean...

What a storm of a movie.

Ong-Bak

Great martial arts film with really amazing fight scenes.

First I'll say, while the 3D was good, it wasn't particularly spectacular. I don't really understand why people went on about the 3D in this movie. It was little more then an interesting addition, though I wouldn't have paid more extra for it for any reason. And the spider Web scene? No where near as awesome as many claimed.

It was stop-motion.

I watched Gamer and it was badass

Yup. It's probably one of the most beautifully animated stop-motion picture I have ever laid my eyes on.

From Paris with love

Awesome. Travolta is on a Samuel L. Jackson level of badass.

Ninja Assassin.

The title lead me to believe it would be completely corny and boring, but it's actually a pretty solid movie. It won't be winning any positive awards anytime soon (or ever), but it was enjoyable and entertaining to watch. It gets cornier towards the ending, but that really doesn't bother me all that much. I'd probably recommend it to anyone who has some time to kill and doesn't mind watching over-the-top violent movies.

It was better than Kill Bill.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Because of temporary technical limitations I had to watch it in b/w! Didn't really matter though, I had a blast. It was quirky and hilarious.

Shutter Island

Just a mesh of random weird crap that totally makes the move incredibly predictable. If you've seen "Identity" with Kevin Cusack then you've seen a much simpler version of Shutter Island.

Waking Life

This movie is done in that live action style (like A Scanner Darkly) and is about a guy who falls asleep but then whenever he wakes up, he's waking up in a dream and he doesn't know how to stop it. Basically the guy goes around and talks to the dream people and has these REALLY DEEP philosophical conversations with them. Watch this if you're into that sort of stuff. Also some weed or something would totally make you enjoy this movie more.

B&W sucks and only works for noir films.

I watched what-cha-ma-call-it. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. It had some funny parts, but I got bored in others. I think it had scene that had the most uses of the f word out of any scene in the history of comedic films. But yeah, tbh, I think the only really good Steve Martin movie is The Jerk. Anything else is pretty crap.

This movie is done in that live action style (like A Scanner Darkly)

I think that's called rotoscoping. That's as much of a bish to do as stop motion.

(500) Days of Summer

Excruciating and brutal from the introduction all the way until the credits roll.

An immediate addition to my list of favorite films.

[G13]

Legion. It was an interesting movie. Reminded me a lot of The Terminator though. Hopefully the sequel will pull away from that.

7/10

The Book of Eli. smurfing awesome. I recommend this movie. It was badass. It wasn't action packed but the story was like Fallout meets the bible.

10/10

[Kossage]

I saw Red River. The cast did a fine job portraying their characters but John Wayne and Montgomery Clift were easily the best of the bunch. The relationship between them was very touching and it was heartbreaking and awesome to see John Wayne turn into an antagonist halfway through after some clever plot twists. Cinematography was superb with clever camera angles and magnificent vista and group shots among other things. The plot itself was quite enjoyable although the ending was too abrupt to my liking. Dimitri Tiomkin's score was rousing with its great themes and fine use of choir and orchestra among other things. The film is definitely worth a watch if you enjoy westerns and an intriguing storyline with a fine cast.
