lol I honestly thought that was one of the best Star Trek movies. Didn't really care much about the humpback whales, but seeing them try to blend in to the 80s was hilarious.
First Contact and the JJ Abrams reboot were my favorites. Wrath of Khan was good but not great. Maybe it was too hyped up for me. I too thought Search For Spock was equal to or better than it. Christopher Lloyd as a klingon was pretty mint, and so was that trick they pulled. The rest kind of sucked. Those were my assessments after seeing them all for the first time last year. I actually think I still need to see 6. |

I think that one was horrible. Not as bad as the last one before the reboot. Nemesis I believe. It was an abyssmal movie

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - 70
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country - 75 Even though 6 was slow, I enjoyed it. The "spy" plot was kind of predictable I felt. I liked the overall story arc coming to a close (I mean, I THINK. There's like 80 more movies and god knows what they'll encompass). If the Star Trek series ended at 6, it would feel appropriate. 5 was good too. I enjoyed the discovery of "god". I wished there would have been a little more of a conclusion on what it was, how it got there, etc. I'm tired of having blue balls from Lost. Just tell me what shit is, damnit. Also, it sounded like the smoke monster at one point. Maybe that's how Jacob and MIB really started. As Sybok. Anyway, it was good too. 4 was utter trash. |

Watched a ton of movies while being knocked out with pneumonia
Brainscan 4/10 - Edward Furlong post T2 gets sucked into a hynotizing game that makes you go kill people and then this wierd guy pops out and dances and does shit. Then you find out that none of it really happened cause it was all in the game...whatever. The Natural 7/10 - Can't believe I never saw this before, but it wasn't nearly as great as all the "Best sports movie" hype Ive heard about it. Where the Wild Things Are 2/10 - I never liked the book so I dont know how I ended up with this but holy crap is it just..bad. And its like 2 1/2 hours long which means I can't imagine even kids liking it. Karate Kid Remake - 9/10 - flat out have to say I think that this was a lot better than I thought it would be, even maybe as far as being a tiny bit better than the original. |

Star Trek Generations - 77
Star Trek: First Contact - 80 I really liked Generations. Even though it seemed like over half the movie took place in Nexus because it was real slow, I still enjoyed the story. I actually enjoyed the entire Nexus concept and didn't find it corny. Not a huge fan of the series but I could appreciate the dialogue between Piccard and Kirk and the wisdom they shared. I wonder how actual fans feel. And I think First Contact is the best. Lots of action, lots or effects, an enjoyable story, and time-travel which has become a staple in this franchise. They just travel through time like it aint no thing. I'll probably watch the last two on Monday. |

I'm going to try and get Tb1's thoughts on the movies. But the thought of reading a Tb1 post makes my face contort into a wonderful variety of shapes. I wish there was a :shudder: smiley. It would be used when thinking about Fallen Angel doing sex to his wife and having conversations with Tb1. I'm just going to post a link to this thread in his user profile and try not to start up a dialogue with him. Hopefully he'll just post his thoughts in here and leave immediately without lingering. yeck

The Social Network - 9/10 (Great film, what else can be said. Aaron Sorkin )
Red - 7/10 (No masterpiece and quite by the numbers but it's fun. Hotttt cast, John Malkovich is a glorious human being.) Knight and Day - 6/10 (Love Peter Sarsgaard and Tom Cruise is basically Jerry Maguire with a gun for the first half of the film, which is entertaining enough. Again nothing groundbreaking but fun in a popcorn flick way) Up In The Air - 8/10 (George Clooney is amazing) Wild Target - 6/10 (Meh. I thought this would be better than it was with the cast but apparently not. All the roles are played nicely, especially Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt is mint but that's it. Would have rated it considerably lower with a worse cast.) Remember Me - 4/10 (The acting/writing/direction etc is fine, Robert Pattinson is good when he's not trying to wet 14 year old panties but the ending is so ridiculous. "Hey, let's write a film about good looking people with some pretty tragic problems and then throw in an even more ridiculous/borderline insulting one completely out of nowhere for no reason whatsoever." Was laughing so hard by the end. Would have been maybe 6/10 until then because it's alright overall as far as these films go and Pattinson does well.) |

Hurt Locker - 8.5/10
I finally got around to seeing this after my movie viewing slump last year. Pretty great movie. I don't understand how some people didn't like this. Triple A, I'm looking in your direction. I suppose maybe some people didn't like it because it didn't have a plot. But I thought that worked since it was just an examination of a particular group of soldiers and life at war. The sequences were all top notch and the suspense was brilliant. I thought it was entertaining as hell. Jeremy Renner is great. I also marked for Evangeline Lilly. Making something as simple as grocery shopping sexy, as always. |

I didn't think the main guy really worked. The tone suggested it was to be a realistic film about Iraq, but that guy would have been out the first time he jeopardized himself. I realize that if you take away that element of his character you're just left with a pretty boring movie about a by the book diffuser, but maybe the Iraq war just isn't "sexy" enough to make a good movie about.

I guess he'd only be out if his superior cared about protocol and didn't jerk over him being a wildman. I have a hard time believing there aren't people like that in the Iraq war, or any war

Not as..um..disturbing as I thought it would be given all the hype over it. The German Doctor was really creepy though, and the Japanese guy talking in Japanese like the others could understand him was interesting. |

Due Date: 6/10
A wash. Though it has a few memorable parts, the thick of the movie is far from laugh out loud funny, struggling for even a chuckle or two. Robert Downey Jr is utterly wasted here and acts as if he knows it throughout the entire movie. The film is more like a bunch of wacky situation strung together on a string than a series of unfortunate accidents that could realistically happen - this movie is all by the numbers. Galifinakis is great here, but the movie rests far too much of its successes on the idea that people will laugh continuously over a flamboyant man-child and his ugly dog to save this film. Don't watch it - wait for the DVD. |

Dear Zachary - GO WATCH THIS NOW.
For a documentary like this, it's hard to truly give it a rating out of 10 in the same vein we all have rated movies in the past. This is an extremely powerful movie about a family whose son is murdered. The son, was a well liked man in his late 20's just beginning his career as a doctor. He comes off as the type of man who everyone loves and considers their best friend. He was murdered by his ex-girlfriend. It comes out that his ex was pregnant. She flees to her hometown in Canada. The parents of the victim move out there to begin the process of getting custody of their grandchild. The film was made by the victims close friend as a way for Zachary, the child to have a sense of who his father was. He goes around the US interviewing everyone the victim has touched in is life, ending up with the Grandparents in Canada. The film is an emotional rollercoaster. It's almost guaranteed the toughest of toughest guys will cry. I really hope that if you read this, you check out this movie. It's the type of movie that will be on your mind for weeks and in some way impact your life. |
