Repo! The Genetic Opera is theOriginally Posted by Jiro
I enjoyed the rules popping up as well. Same scoring for me I suppose!
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. No questions asked.
It was good...I cried at the end...brutal.
Because I'm one hell of a butler.
The Five Deadly Venoms. A martial arts classic. When I saw this for the first time at college, it was the humorous bad dub. Now that I've seen the Chinese language version I can better appreciate the artistry that went into it.
A dying martial arts master sends his novice student to check on five former students, all of whom have mastered a technique based on a poisonous animal: snake, scorpion, centipede, gecko, and toad. Naturally some are using their powers for personal gain, so it pits the good ones versus the bad ones.
It's both literally and allegorically about poison: the way that people can easily be bought and corrupted by wealth and power.
Alice in Wonderland - 9.5/10, suckers
It was pretty and neat and Alice was a badass and everything was fancy and big mushrooms and dorky gingers and it only didn't get a perfect score because of the Hatter's freaky ginger make-up.
I just saw Memento, it was a cool story told in a cool way. (915/1000)
Y'know, if the ending is really sad I shed a few tears too but as sad as it was I didn't cry. I... I think I've finally become a man!It was good...I cried at the end...brutal.
How To Train Your Dragon
This was such a cute movie. Pretty good overall. 4/5
Case 39
Awful film. Being a social work student, I can tell you all that the interventions are horrible. I hate how social work is always negatively potraryed in films, and I watched this hoping that it wouldn't be the case because the main character is a social worker, but no.
My girlfriend watched it with me and she's not a social worker, and her unclouded judgement is that it was stupid movie too. Not scary at all.
1/5
Alice in Wonderland
6/10
The beginning and end part were really neat and awesome, outside the horrible popping dance in the end, wtf was that? The queen was very nicely done.
The Crazies -- Crap. The original Romero version is probably infinitely better. The scene with the saw and the doctor was tense and interesting at least. As for the the acting, it wasn't the worse in horror film history. 4/10
Whiteout -- Crap. The only thing I can say it excels in is being incredibly mundane. And what's with Kate Beckinsale always doing movies with snow in them? I didn't even bother finishing it because I stopped caring. The characters are not endearing enough and it's difficult to figure out what exactly is going on at a givern time. 3/10
The Bad Mother's Handbook -- The only reason I watched this is because an RP fan told me to. I usually hate British films except for amazing ones like Shaun of the Dead. This was a made for t.v. movie and upon looking at it one can tell. It had some random instances where techno music would just start playing for seemingly no reason, but really enjoyed it in all of it's simplicity. I am actually surprised I enjoyed it since half of the time I wanted to destroy the people because I thought their accents were annoying. But chyeah, nice little story, eccentric characters, and witty dialogue. 7/10
Repo Man -- In progress. So far it's intriguing. A plot containing characters that repossess people's organs, as gross as it sounds, is at least an original idea.
Blow
A Johnny Depp movie with him playing George Jung, the dude who basically created the cocaine industry in America. Great movie, sad ending. Worth a watch. 8/10
Wall-E
Great movie and hella adorable. Pixar rules.
Clash of the Titans
Well, it was actually very good, aside from the fact that the directors totally screwed over mythology (if you ever see it, you'll know what I mean). The special effects were awesome, especially the (SPOILER)Kraken, although the lightning looked pretty fake. Lots of action and battle scenes with some gore. Giant killer monsters were very well animated, too.

I watched My neighbor Totoro the other day. still has the magic that makes it a delightful adventure fit for all ages. 11/10

You know how good it feels, when you pwn someone who is better than you in a game? Ya, that's how I felt watching this movie haha.
How to Train Your Dragon - IMAX 3D
Good fun. No talking animals, no pop culture references. Great flight sequences, often from a familiar and effective 'video game' perspective. Pretty good soundtrack too.
Probably my 2nd favourite Dreamworks-animated film, just behind Prince of Egypt.
