The Avengers - (9/10) - The storyline was just amazing, the interaction between characters was awesome, and to top it all with the video effects.

Casablanca(on Blu-ray) - (8/10) - Great old fashioned love story mixed with suspense.

[arrodiii]

Mutants - 7/10 - good cinematography and a typical, but interesting, look at the outbreak of a zombie virus. Had a couple of great shots that I truly enjoyed

The Devil Inside - 3/10
Technical execution is fine for the found footage genre but poor for the documentary style it's supposed to be.
Of little consolation to note is how well the audio was collected and processed, especially in many tight echoic spaces. If the film can be given any nods that'd be it.
If you google the title with the word "marketing" you'll see laurels of appreciation for the film's marketing.
Many fools were separated from their money.
Many, many, many fools. An astonishing amount, honestly.


4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days 4/10
I ran across this title on an unrelated search, noting that it received the 2007 Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or - so it must be good, right?!
No.
Not really.
Couple of really stupid women/girls have a stupid day.
Yay.
How gripping.


The War Within 4/10
An overly complicated variant of what Day Night Day Night achieved with less effort to greater effect.


Black Death 5/10
Surprising application of docucam to a historic work of fiction.
This could have been a better film by adding some genuine hocus pocus, but the directors let history get in the way of entertainment.
Shame.
This had better potential, but it's a good foundation piece.

Kabluey 8/10

Stars Lisa Kudrow, Terri Garr shows up as her mom

I have no idea how this got on our Netflix queue, but we liked it much more than a lot of things that we've seen lately.

Simple enough story - husband is off fighting in Iraq, wife w/2 out of control kids brings in loser brother in law to help out while she's at work. But a good little story with some funky recession/unemployment/dot com bust visuals.

Chernobyl Diaries - This was just okay. I thought the first half was pretty good (for the genre) and the last half was meh. The theater I was at had a very rowdy / loud crowd that was not enjoying the movie. That may have affected my opinion of the 2nd half. I'd say this is more of a dollar theater watch.

The Omega Man. Still good. Maybe a 6. It holds up pretty well. I didn't care much for I am Legend. What I did like about I am Legend is that the plague victims are unequivocally mad-dog vampire thingies. In Omega Man, they're more like lepers who have been brainwashed by the Moral Majority. Well, that's fine.

Man, gone are those days of wonder when you might glimpse the bare breasts of lovely young women in PG rated movies.

The times have changed. For the worse. Now, the most you can hope for is a teasing glimpse of the underside of Angelina Jolie's breast in a PG-13 film...and even that feels scandalous. Goes to show where the Moral Majority's and the Politically Corrects' values are. No naked breasts, but bucket loads of violence. Bare breasts are now a rarity even in R rated films. But of course, R rated films are themselves a rarity.

Barton Fink. Wow. My second screening, I think. The number 4 definition of Cinema should read: The Coen Brothers. They're a national treasure.

Hostel III - 4/10 - An awful film, not even as gory as I remember the first ones

[Steve_in_MD]

The Last Broadcast - 7/10

Gripping film until the last ten minutes. Best known as a predecessor/influence of Blair Witch, although it's really quite different in a lot of ways. Very, very atmospheric, creepy mock-doc that did a very good job of building tension and suspense...until the end, which was just bad. Not going to spoil it but it simply was a poorly executed, lazy ending. Still highly recommend watching if you're into horror/sci fi/mock doc/found footage stuff. If you like true crime tv (I love it) you'll probably enjoy the movie overall. If only the ending wasn't so poor.

The Grey -- 9.5/10

An amazing, contemplative film. Characters have awesome chemistry, the action is great, the elements that the men face are real, and the cinematography is off the charts!

[Zensteve]

Wrath of the Titans - Expected much more, seeing as how I'd actually enjoyed the Clash of the Titans remake. This one was just terrible.

Worst of all, the theater has taken to showing the 2D versions of 3D films at really inconvenient times, so I had to see this steamer in all its useless three dimensional lack-o-splendour. At least it was only $4 tix, at the second-run.

I Spit on your Grave - 2/10
one word - terrible

Hesher 8/10
Loved it. Great actors (Joseph Gordon-Levity, Natalie Portman) Good story, very indie-esque, and good cinematography. Highly recommend.

[gebo]

Get the Gringo - 7/10 - Nice, entertaining. Some good action and story but lacked something. Some parts are a bit boring and predictable. I hadn't seen a movie with Mel Gibson for a long time.

The Grey - 2/10 - One of the worst movies I've seen lately... where to start? Obvious CG wolves, poor vfx, the crashed plane in the snow looks fake. Boring boring until the end... the end is stupid. I almost fell asleep.

[Ceolwulf]

rayw I agree with you about Black death. It was almost like a medieval version of the Wicker man but had none of the charm of that film, the original I mean. Despite having some great actors it didn't work out that well.

Nice to see Daniel Steiner again though

Men in Black III (in 3D). So'kay. Maybe a 7. Fairly entertaining.

Wow that was a reeeeeally long Spider Man trailer. I usually hate it when they show too much in trailers. But in this case, for me, their gamble (if that's what it is) may have paid off. Before the reeeeeally long trailer I was barely interested. But I feel like the reeeeeally long trailer piqued my interest. Now I'm sorta looking forward to it.

And they showed The Great Gatsby trailer in 3D as well. Gotta say it looks pretty cool in 3D. But don't know how that'll be for watching the whole feature. Cool looking or not in the trailer, it does also look unreal, unworldly. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Winter Break - 3/10 - awful...just awful

Dead Girl Walking - 4/10 - great premise that fell flat
