Yeah, at some point they must have said something like that to each other... the mind boggles, what on earth were they thinking? Watching indy 4 pissed me off immensely.

Saw in 3D. Couple gimmicky parts with guns and such but it was used pretty well overall.
Went in expecting it to be just a bunch of hype but was actually surprised.
I wish there was a bit more to the story than "We're here cause we can be and we're going to piss in your wheaties" Movie definitely needed some "why"s to be answered but it was pretty damn cool regardless.
I don't think it's so amazing that it justifies seeing it multiple times in the theaters like some people are doing though...
If you haven't seen it yet, see it in 3D. I can't imagine the movie being as enjoyable without it.
Features that little fat turd Patton Oswalt you see popping up in various productions for some reason, and now he's starring in this.
I get the whole "loser against the world" schtick, but it just doesn't work here.
Don't know why this is labelled "comedy", as there are zero laughs to be had.
Rotten Tomatoes can suck my fat cock with their 87% approval rating.
My parents took me to see that in the theater when I was little and it scared the shit out of me. Haha, now that I can watch it without having to look at the floor more than the screen, I can agree - it's a classic
Paranormal Activity = 1/10 - Why people are talking about this movie I'll never know. It wasn't scary, it wasn't tense, it wasn't entertaining and it certainly wasn't worth watching. The only thing it was...was absolute shit. Seriously folks...skip it...you'll thank me later. And the fact that Steven Spielberg wrote the release ending (the original ending was better) proves to me beyond a doubt that Spielberg - like George Lucas - has become a fucking joke...which I'm sure everyone already knew after the last Indiana Jones movie. He's like Stephen King: he simply doesn't even try anymore.
Taxi = 6/10 - Typical Luc Besson lighthearted entertainment. Nothing really special and the main actor was seriously ugly...like....deformed-level ugly.
Sherlock Holmes = 6.5/10 - Decently entertaining but Robert Downey Jr was shit in this film....it was simply Robert Downey Jr fucking about instead of being Sherlock Holmes and turned the whole endeavor into a popcorn movie. Mark Strong should have played the lead role as he certainly looks like the quintessential Sherlock Holmes.

There were one or two points in the movie where I actually got a chill, but the majority of it was boring crap. The ending in particular was a massive letdown.
The only good thing about the new version of The Time Machine is the blond hottie getting her bicycle before they blew up the moon. For a whole 45 seconds..the movie was awesome.
that movie was fucktarded. honestly one of the worst five films i've ever seen. it made pirates of the caribbean sequels look like works of classic cinema. in some countries that movie has been banned as inhumane treatment along with lobotomy and anal electrocution.
Sherlock Holmes - 8/10 An absolutely excellent movie. Great set design and production values, great action scenes, engaging dialogue, just an all-around good movie. Robert Downey, Jr. just pisses excellence. Can't wait for Iron Man 2...

the original is pure class in a glass. you gotta love the steampunk machine he uses, and there's that fantastic scene after he finds the eloi have let all their books rot, and gives this big speech about going back to his own time to be among men instead of among peroxided special olympic faggots
also:
The Hurt Locker - ?/10 - not sure what to make of this movie. it seemed to drift from one scene to the next, and james's adrenaline junkie routine seemed strangely out of focus. then again i watched it hard on the heels of 'generation kill' so probably had the wrong expectations
on the plus side though: i have now a solid copy on the jargon, q3w actual. interrogative: is this win?
