Promised Land
6/10

Despite being written by the guy from The Office, starring Matt Damon and
directed by Gus Van Sant, this movie was far from great.

Not surprised the movie had a short run at theaters earlier this year.

Venom is the Spider-man symbiote + whoever it's connect to.

I think you mean Viper.

Nerd cred. in full effect, and I haven't even seen that movie yet.

Last Days Here (documentary on the lead singer of the band Pentagram) - 7/10.

Very interesting in a gloomy kind of way.

I saw this documentary on HBO. Never heard of the singer, etc.... I was glued to the t.v. from beginning to end.

Havent been touched like this by a movie in while, almost brought the tears

and no im not the only one who liked it, its at 85% on rotten tomatoes and at 90% from the audience, 8.1 on imdb

I love that movie!

Stunning how much of a rip-off this movie is of Men In Black. Decent premise but poorly executed. Ryan Reynolds' shtick is growing tiresome. Funny in spots, but generally tedious.

From the ads it looks completely like a MIB rip off. Can't believe this thing got filmed.

That's what I thought when I saw the trailer. Reckon it will bomb.

Turbulence 3 the 'heavy metal' one
6/10

Rock star Slade Craven takes 40 lucky fans aboard a chartered plane for private shows and party time until things get a little more controversial then even Craven is reputed for when he pulls a gun on his own fans...

It was entertaining for lols and bad acting, some scenes were surprisingly well written and acted and some were just awful, and the idea that metal fans would get off on a video where a singer abuses a dog with a razor blade pisses me off and tells me the writers dont know jack shit about heavy metal, but still worth watching on Netflix if your bowl is packed.

I'd like to get the soundtrack as I actually enjoyed some of the music.

Oops ur right. Meant viper. Venom would actually have been good.

Saw this last night and absolutely loved it. Reminded me a bit of Stand by Me. Definitely recommend this flick

My wife and I have been wanting to see this.

You see it at theater or rent it?

I watched it online.
I was not nearly as impressed... maybe a 5/10 tops.
Matthew Mcconaughey plays every character exactly the same. Flat.. so very flat.
The story was great, but he was a total dud.

Agreed. Absolutely LOVED this one... Thanks for the recommendation.

Good Neighbors - 7/10
Expected to hate it.

Wolverine - 6.5/10. A pretty good movie, but not as good as I was expecting. I left the movie theater a bit disappointed.

GlenGarry Glen Ross

10/10

Instant classic. I've seen the movie countless times
and decided to watch the film again last night courtesy
of Amazon instant video.

All the actors involved turned in a masterpiece. A true clinic
how to act.
AMAZING!!!

Pacific Rim - 8 outta 10.

Saw it in IMAX 3D. Quite the spectacle, although it moved a little too fast during the slightly dark, "cameras in too tight" ADD influenced fight sequences. Still...waaay over the top. Great if you dig old school Kaiju shows/movies, Transformers, etc.
Ron Pearlman was great per usual.

Note: Saw the IMAX 3D preview for the new Metallica movie as a trailer before PR...looks absolutely unbelievable. I have not been a fan per se, in years, but I will definitely be going to see it.

Alex Cross (2012) My first Tyler Perry movie , Edward burns, Matthew fox and jean reno were in it too. 6/10

The Legend Of Lizzie Borden - 7/10. Elizabeth Montgomery

Savages - 10

Sex, drugs & violence. Great acting - Selma Hayek place a total bitch! Good story line - the ending was a real mind fuck.

What year is that one?
I've heard good stuff about the flick and have been trying to find it, but there seem to be a LOT of movies out there called "Savages"

I love this fucking movie. Made for TV but still excellent.

"Did you kill father?"

The movie is available on YouTube.


The Victim - 8/10. Another Elizabeth Montgomery movie. It's pretty good, suspenseful. Really lame ending, though.

Its from 2012 - I found it on HBO, but it may be On Demand through Comcast. Its the one Directed by Oliver Stone. I had wanted to see it at the movies when it came out, so was happy to catch it on HBO - for some reason I am receiving HBO free.

The Wolverine: 7/10
You really can't go wrong with the X-Men movies, although X-Men First Class will be tough to top.

The Conjuring: 7/10
Better than your average horror movie with some good moments.
Unlike Insidious this one doesn't get stupid once the Ghostbusters show up. Probably the best horror movie I've seen at the movies since The Ring.

Viva Knievel ala Riff Tracks: 8/10
Evel Knievel, Leslie Nielson and Marjoe Gortner finally get the MST3K treatment. And all I can say is its about time.

....two sevens and an eight, I've been on a good roll after sitting through a ton of crap lately.

Oblivion, a little long but stunning visuals and good story 7/10

Mama - 7/10

The Double Life of Veronique 9/10

A brilliant film by a brilliant filmmaker, Krzysztof Kieslowski. I need to watch the Three Colors again...

Those actors + That Writing = Movie Perfection

My wife was pissed off when she saw it a few weeks ago that I never made her watch it sooner.

I highly recommend you see the play where the actors use the Chicago accent.
