Shawshank Redemption 10/10

Great movie in every way.

Flags of our Fathers 7/10

Pretty good, nothing amazing though.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan 5/10

Had some funny parts, but overall wasn't that great.

The Big Lebowski - 9/10 - been on my 'must watch that at some point' list forever

The ferret bathtub attack never gets old.

this movie has no special effects... aside from one or two obvious cheap effects, everything else was filmed by actually doing what was shown on the screen.

you can't tell me they could duplicate the internal human organs that well. One can only guess they actually filmed cadavers .

Kind of freaky what that movie got away with for its time

The Director claims it was a real cadaver of a little kid that they literally tear apart for organ harvesting scene.

and the cat being eaten alive by rats....the burning live rats running around frantically ... just for these things the movie is worth a watch =]

Monsters vs Aliens 9/10
Yes Man 7/10
Vantage Point 4/10
The Watchmen 9/10
Tales of Despereaux 7/10
Lakeview Terrace 3/10
Gran Torino 8/10
Taken 9/10

Yes Man - 7/10

I was expecting much worse based on the tepid reviews, but it was actually a relatively satisfying comedy with a surprisingly sincere love story built in. The only drawback was the requisite cliche whereby "she finds out the truth so she leaves him [temporarily]" -- they should have just written it as a romance which develops without hindrances, Carrey could maintain momentum, and it's not like there's actually any suspense in this utterly hackneyed plot device any more.

The Day The Earth Stood Still (new one): 3/10

God, I knew it was going to be crap, but I was at least hoping for a good performance somewhere in the crowd or some cool CGI. Independence Day stands as the alien attack benchmark.

Or how bout the scene where the guy's locked in that pressure chamber and all hits guts explode out his ass in a puddle of wet shit.

forgot about that

Sounds horrid

Taken.

Surprisingly good. 8 - 10

Just watched the first half of Marley & Me. Which is plenty, because there's only so much movie you can make out of 'haha they're chasing the dog, he won't behave, that's so random XD now he is chewing the furniture'.

Earlier watched Ghost Town which was good. More than just a vehicle for Ricky Gervais.

I thought Ghost Town stank.

I agree: Marley & Me was awful. I did a bit better than you did though, and made it to about 5/6 of the movie.

The dog was annoying and pointless. I never cared about it. Owen Wilson (who I generally find really funny) didn't play his traditional funny role. Overall the movie was just boring and pointless.

that movie should have been put down

There wasn't much to the thing. By-the-book and nothing new at all. Most of the interest came from watching Ricky Gervais act to a script. That probably doesn't interest non-uk peeps so much.

Tried to sit though Quantum of Solace.

I stopped watching after 40 minutes. What I saw was abysmal IMHO. Granted the movie is a Bond one and not necessarily a stirring plot-driven drama, but what I watched was more than enough for me.
There was lots of fancy chases and whatnot if that is all a movie needs. I like action, but this movie seemed entirely about that above anything else.

Maybe it gets better, but it didn't get me hooked by the plot enough to find out.

Twilight 4/10

LOL

A little better than what I expected it to be, which was abysmal. A LOT of the acting is corny, and most of plot elements are cliched and predictable. The only thing that saves it is the 2nd half of the movie when the vampire's stop acting like they're in a cologn commercial.

Salo 7/10

During WW2, Rich Italian Fascist's kidnap 9 woman and 9 men. Over 120 days.. they rape, torture, humiliate them (make them eat shit)...then brutally kill them, tying them to the ground, cutting off their tongues and gouging out eye's, scalping them, while some cock eyed queer watches through binoculars masturbating.

It was kinda sick...

I'm not coming over to your place anymore...
