It is amazing. But probably not as good without friends and alcohol.

I want to punch Tim Burton in the face right now.
"It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero."

I enjoyed the rules popping up as well. Same scoring for me I suppose!Originally Posted by Vermachtnis
Repo! The Genetic Opera. I only watched parts of this but jesus it was insane. I don't know if it was good or it was just the novelty that won me over, but you all need to watch this xD
Alice in Wonderland
3/10
Basically, I share the opinion of most people in this thread in regards to Alice in Wonderland. It was just pretty crap. I usually adore Tim Burton films, but this was just ugh. The cheesiness factor, the boringness factor. It was just meh. I think instead of re-creating stories that have been done countless times before, he should probably begin to work with people who can write original screenplays like Edward Scissorhands.
Yeah, I've been hearing a lot of people were disappointed by it. I haven't taken any interest in it whatsoever, but am I right in saying it's actually not a re-telling of the original story of Alice in Wonderland and it's actually a sequel?
Yes, but it briefly reenacts some of the events in the book.
I've had issues with most of Tim Burton's live action movies. Visually they have always been wonderful eye candy but the stories have rarely matched them. His best movies have been animated. Ed Wood is my favorite of his live action movies, followed by Sleepy Hollow.
Serenity - Decent sci-fi movie with some decent fight scenes and wonderful one-liners. I get the feeling I would have gotten more out of the film if I actually watched Firefly but I sorta felt like we were seriously dropped into the middle of things. Mostly, I'm annoyed that its never explained why River was taken by the Alliance and turned into a living weapon. Its sorta just seems to be there simply as an excuse to move the story forward and is never elaborated on. I can't really give it a score cause I feel like I'm missing the big picture and if I were a Firefly fan, I'd be able to follow it better and enjoy it more.
Memories - This is a pretty sweet anime film by the guy who did Akira, its three animated short stories and each one is radically different from the other but compelling in their own ways. The first story is probably my least favorite, its actually quite good but not as enjoyable as the other two stories. The second tale is probably my favorite and easily the funniest tale that really brought back fond memories of some of the weird anime you could get a hold of in the late 80's and early 90's. The last tale tells the simplest story but its really the background events that you see as the main story goes along that paints a much more sophisticated tale than the other two. Its also unique cause its animation style feels more like something out of European animation than Japanese. Overall, it was a great film with three stellar stories behind it.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Serenity is much better after you've watched Firefly, which you should do as soon as possible as it's one of the rare television shows that lives up to the hype. For one thing, the Alliance's interest in River is much better explained in the series; it's pretty much taken as a given that you'd know why they were after her when watching the film.
That's what I figured, which is why I didn't really want to judge it too harshly.

Punch-Drunk Love
8/10
Hrm, well I have seen this movie before, but I was too young at the time to get the wittiness of it. Philip Seymour Hoffman as usual is great as his d-bag of a character. This movie is a great quirky, romantic comedic. It's up there with 500 Days of Summer. The script is probably my favorite part about it. The lines are just like "wut" at times. I loved it despite the fact that Adam Sandler can be annoying in other movies like that crappy one, You Don't Mess With the Zohan.
How High
So freakin funny. Loved it. 5/5
The Time Traveler's Wife
Wicked badass. It's a chick flick yeah but it's time travel man! Really, really great. 10/10
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, which is loosely based off the book of the same name by Tucker Max. It is, quite possibly, one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Seriously. Absolutely no redeeming quality to the entire film whatsoever.
0/10.
Master of the Fork
Cid's Knight
Ninja Assassin - It was pretty bloody and badass and I want to beat people up now.
4/5 cause of all the awesome ninja fights
