coraline-

i guess it was good. Its hard to rate films like this because there's no good comparisons to it.

I cant even remember it all that well to be honest, but its incredibly dark and creepy, especially for a pg film

^I thought it was good but I rather have seven dollars back.

^^
3-d?

Neh.



(though all movies are 4-D if we're being honest)

This movie sucks to say the least.
It has a great cast and nothing to do with them.
I can't believe I finished the whole thing!

I watched The Contract last night starring Morgan Freeman and John Cusack. I'm a Morgan Freeman fan (who isn't!?) and I thought the movie was entertaining. To me it felt like the script was incomplete or rushed, but I wasn't expecting much when I saw it.

I'd give it 5.5-6/10 because it had it's moments. Morgan Freeman plays the lovable fugitive fairly well!

Godfather Part II - ****

A masterpiece of filmmaking, cliche as f*ck thing to say, but it's true. Great performances and great characters all around, so many juicy bits of diologue. And everything else, the setting design, the cinematography, the music, it's all great. This may very well be better than the first, it has more humor and the character development is better, this one really expands on Michael and his relationshps, especially with his brother Fredo and his wife Kay. The acting is so great that you often feel like you know exactly what every character is thinking just from their expressions, like Tom, you always get that locked up resentment he has for Michael, for losing his position of power to someone else. But the Godfather movies as great as they are, the first time viewing will always have the greatest impact, because a big part of the fun is that suspense of a world where anyone can die at any moment, first time viewers will have a lot of fun figuring out who's gonna get whacked.

My only complaint? The Vito flashbacks were too few and far between, it left me wanting more.

The Rocketeer - ***

An entertaining homage to the pulp fiction comics and movie serials of the 30s and 40s, complete with mobsters, nazis, a Flash Gordan-ish hero, an Errol Flynn-ish villian and a Rondo Hatton inspired henchman. What more could you want? It's severe corniness actually becomes a strength because of what it was trying to achieve. It's also funny to note that throughout most of the movie the protagonist is just this lucky dumbass who ends up causing more destruction than anything, but in the end he kicks nazi ass and gets the girl. Cliche? Yes, but for this kind of movie that's actually a good thing. The movie never takes itself seriously, it's all in good fun, it takes a while to get flying, but it's a worthwhile ride.

Also, Jennifer Connelly is in it and she makes anything she's in a *** just for sheer hotness.

Except anything with Keanu Reeves in it.

My Favorite Martian - *

Dumb, messy and unfunny

I started watching The Godfather II at 1am one day and couldn't finish it because I fell asleep. Its too bad, because even today I haven't gotten around to starting it over and finishing this so called masterpiece. I wasn't really paying attention to the first one, either. Meh.

The Wrestler, however, was a fantastic movie and the last movie I saw. It's a haunting character study that left me with something to think about for days.

Very powerful film. It drags a bit but not enough to detract from the movie. Amazing performance by Kingsley, and Jennifer Connelly was really good as well.

You totally need to give it another chance, I didn't like The Godfather part 1 first time I saw it because I wasn't paying close enough attention to what was going on. So you gotta pay attention, capice?
