Surrogates - 7/10 Pretty good movie, predictable story but not bad.
Whiteout - 3/10 Boring that's all I can say.
The Fourth Kind - 4/10 I was going to give this a higher rating b/c it started off as a good SciFi/Thriller. It just became way to unbelievable towards the end.
Sherlock Holmes - 8/10 I liked this more than I thought I would. Robert Downey Jr. was great and him and Jude Law worked well together. _________________ We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further - Richard Dawkins

Just saw "Taken" for the first time. Great movie 8.5/10. Not an easy film to watch being the father of two girls but definitely worth seeing. _________________ "I thought that was what religion was. Simplification for the hard-of-thinking." ~Takeshi Kovacs

Star Trek 9.7/10. A little corny at times, but excellent story, easily accessible references, ability to stick to the story line and structure for over 30 years, and great special effects.
I like Star Trek, but I am far from a Trekkie.
I thought it was great. |

The Journey of Man - read the book 2 years ago and just saw the movie last night.
Interesting part - science meets its subjects and tries to explain to the Avg Joe the results of years of genetic mapping and its conclusions on the spread of humanity through the world with the starting point of Africa. The interview with the Native Americans was most telling - along with the Aboriginals. Both groups would not accept the genetic mapping conclusions as it contradicted their "myths" of creation. _________________ Just another fucking observer |

Most recent movie I saw was The Blind Side.
I would give it a 4.5/5
Really good, inspiring movie. I thought the cast was very good as well, and that Sandra Bullock did a pretty good job, considering her performance in the god-awful, "All About Steve" movie.
I would recommend it to everyone. _________________

I just watched Whip It. I was pretty impressed. I had thought it would be alright, but it turned out to be pretty good. I thought the cast was great (plus, I think Kristen Wiig is exceptionally hot), and the story was decent. I like female coming of age movies that aren't supper corny and don't have gimmicky characters, and this one was particularly good in that category. It was nice to see a sports movie whose sport wasn't baseball, football, basketball, or hockey, and doesn't contain dogs of any breed. I would have liked to see a little bit more of the actual sport though.
As for my ratings:
Relative to other teenage girl movies: 17/17
Relative to other sports movies: 5/7
Overall: 8/12
And now, for my viewing pleasure:

Daybreakers - Not recommended. Lots of blood, not much else.
Book of Eli - Not recommended. Decent post-apocalyptic attempt, but it reeks of Christian "God's Plan" bullshit. Ruined it for me.
Avatar - Actually, a pretty decent movie. A healthy dose of imagination went into the movie. Some cheese is displayed with the Gaia plot item, but I'll take planet worship any day over getting Christianity shoved down my throat. |

Avatar- 9.5/10
My only gripe was the religious aspect of the movie. I am willing to look past it though and everything else for me was perfect. I didn't want it to end ... great movie _________________ If you use the bible as your moral compass, chances are you're lost. |

I just watched Juno again. It makes me laugh, it makes me blubber, it makes me laugh again.

Decent thriller film about a terrorist who declares war on the Philly Department of Justice in order to prove that the system is corrupt (because it let the murderer of his wife and daughter get off with only a 3 year sentence). Jamie Foxx's acting was too stiff, the plot borrowed too heavily from The Count of Monte Cristo, and it has some disturbing violence. But hey if you went to this film expecting anything more than a thriller/action flick, then that's really your fault.
3/5 |
