Nachokoolaid's 2010 Movie Journal
New viewings in blue.
Repeat viewings in CAPS.
January
1:
1. Sunset Boulevard - Who would've thought that I'd see a classic film to start the year. I'm sure this would be more impressive if I saw it when it was released, but by today's standards, it just is another film. I think the director played his hard early by showing Holden dead. That should have been a mystery until the end. 7/10.
2. District 9 - Yes, this was pretty cool, but it wasn't my favorite from last year. I'd put Avatar and Inglourious Basterds above it. But it was a fun sci-fi flick, and I think the director has a lot of potential. I think they dropped the ball a bit by making the protagonist, Wikus, so much of an asshole. He was so conceded that I really started to feel like I didn't care if he was successful or not. And I thought it aped a lot from THE FLY, only Cronenberg did it better. 8/10.
2:
3. STAR TREK - Abrams jump started this once dead franchise, and I had a blast with it. All around great film. Probably the most fun in the theater for me, last year. Pine has proven he has the ability to be a star, but Abrams continues his impressive streak of solid work. 9/10.
4. Family Guy: Something, Something, Something, Dark Side - Awesome. I loved this. It was better than the first Star Wars parody. I was rolling from the opening title crawl, and there were consistent laughs throughout. 8/10.
9:
5. The Hangover - Not as amazingly badass as I had heard, and a lot of the best jokes were spoiled by the trailers (big surprise!), but it wasn't terrible. I don't see a lot of new comedies, so this was probably one of the funnier movies I've seen in a while, but that's not saying a lot. It's far behind stuff like Anchorman, Old School, The 40-Year Old Virgin, and Knocked Up, but much better than crap like the Proposal and other stuff like that that came out recently. 7/10.
11:
6. OH BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU - What a fun flick. I love all the symbolism in this, and Clooney has rarely been more fun than this. The Coens are really two of the more accomplished American filmmakers. 8/10.
12:
7. THE WIZARD OF OZ - My wife said she hadn't seen it since she was 8, and I had it on DVD, so we decided to pop it in. After a few minutes, she goes, "You don't have the color version? They made one in color too." I just laughed. Still love this film, although I've not tried the Dark Side of the Moon trick that goes with it apparently. And the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion are still the shit. 8/10.
15:
8. The Lovely Bones - Stanley Tucci should get a BSA nomination for this, but there's a lot to dislike about what Jackson's done here. I thought he fumbled the murder scene, and some of the "Inbetween" is too abstract for too long. We need a dramatic hook, not a endless series of pretty pictures. A few of his sins of the past (way too much slo mo) really come back to haunt him here. Some great suspense, but this felt too long, and disjointed. Seemed like there was not enough focus on the family dilemma and there was too much time spent with Susie being ethereal and shit. Oh, but Mark Wahlberg was actually pretty good in this, and I don't think I've ever said that except for maybe The Departed. 5/10.
23:
9. WALK THE LINE - Proof that Johnny Cash was really one of the most badass men to ever walk the planet. But also proof that he's not superman. He's absolutely flawed, and that's part of what makes him great. I wonder if Phoenix would have gotten the Oscar if Foxx didn't get it for a very similar role a year earlier. I think Phoenix was better than Witherspoon, but she wasn't bad either. But I really liked that the actors actually sang, and it just wasn't them lip synching to the greatest hits. 8/10.
30:
10. SCREAM 2 - Oddly enough, this film provided me with one of the biggest crowd reactions I have ever experienced in a theater. The crowd was so into it, and they really wanted Dewey and Gail to end up together. Everyone was sure Dewey was toast when he got stabbed ten times. But when they pulled him out of the building, and he was alive on the stretcher and Gail ran to him, the audience started cheering an clapping for like a minute straight. I shit you not. So for that reason alone, this gets a 7/10.
11. Edge of Darkness - What a nice surprise. Well written and very well paced. It was less "actiony" than I expected, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Mel was solid, as was Winstone. Glad Deniro didn't get the part. Winstone has more gravitas these days, it seems. I recommend it. If Man on Fire was Budweiser, it would be Bud Light, but without the trippy editing. It goes down smooth, and it has a least the semblance of a brain, and a bit of heart too. 8/10.
31:
12. SCARY MOVIE 4 - Honestly, Leslie Neilson is one of the only redeeming things about this. And Anna Faris isn't bad either. And I like that it makes fun of Tom Cruise's insanity there for a while. A lot of stupid shit, but it's good for a chuckle on a lazy Sunday. 4/10.
13. FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT - For a sequel that doesn't really star the original actors, this is damn good. I swear that Lucas Black should be a leading guy more. He has a great screen presence in my opinion. And the Vin cameo was a nice surprise that I luckily didn't get spoiled on the internet. That's a first. 7/10.
February
6:
14. World's Greatest Dad - Bobcat Goldwaith, that crazy fuck from the Police Academy films, has made a good movie about the relationship between father and son. He must have a teenager, or whoever wrote this does, because I work with them daily, and this is a great job of nailing what teenage life is like. And Robin Williams did a pretty stellar job in this. Not a bad flick. Better than I expected. 7/10.
8:
15. Michael Jackson's This Is It - I'm not a huge Jackson fan, in fact I've never owned any of his records or anything, but this was a pretty cool glimpse inside of his world. It was fun, and it looked like he was planning a hell of a last hoorah. And he was still quite talented. 7/10.
17:
16. ROMY AND MICHELLE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION - Not a bad little flick about two dumb chicks. I especially like the dream sequence. And how sort of outlandish it is, and then how the actual outcome is just as "out there" but just in a different way. 7/10.
19:
17. Idiocracy - Not an instant classic like Office Space, but this was better than I expected. Probably my favorite Luke Wilson performance, and it proves one again that Terry Crews should be getting more work. President Camacho kicked ass. For a movie about a bunch of retards, Judge did some clever stuff here. 7/10
20:
18. MONSTERS INC. - One of the overlooked Pixar films, in my opinion. I think it's one of their stronger efforts. I just like the idea of there being an entire world of monsters out there beyond your closet. - 8/10.
19. LITTLE GIANTS - A cutesy little football movie. I saw it when I was young, and I have to admit, I thought the brotherly rivalry between Moranis and Al Bundy seemed quite authentic. But some of this is really stupid. But it's a good movie for kids, and if you missed the moral, they bring in John Madden and Emmitt Smith to make it really obvious. But how come the Cowboys are always the bad guys in football movies? 6/10.
20. JURASSIC PARK 3 - I really think that this could have been so much better. The tone seemed a bit off. The t-rex and bigger dino fight should have been longer. And I'm sort of mad that the t-rex wasn't the main baddy anyway. That new thing seemed almost too sci-fi-ish to me. A stronger ending would have sealed the deal as a solid sequel, but all of a sudden, the US Army and Navy show up on the beach. The end. It's like the production ran out of funding. 6/10.
March
18:
21. Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut - Definitely better than the theatrical release, but I totally understand why this couldn't have been popular in theaters. And Some of the stuff I really hated about Watchmen when I first saw it didn't seem nearly as bad in my living room. Could have been better, but I think Snyder did OK with the material. 8/10.
22. Couples Retreat - Watching this was almost like going through therapy. There a couple of chuckles, and that was it. Mostly painful. I think the blond chick from Forgetting Sarah Marshall should stop getting work. She's a pretty bad actress, and she was as annoying as always in this. And of course, Vaughn was playing the same guy he ALWAYS does. Pretty poor overall. 4/10.
April
4:
23. 50 First Dates - Not a bad little rom com. My wife likes it, and we mostly enjoy it because we went to Oahu for our honeymoon, and all the locales in the film are instantly recognizable. And Sandler and Barrymore have decent chemistry. Not the greatest, and there's loopholes galore, but it's okay. (6/10)
10:
24. Where the Wild Things Are - It's my birthday, so I chose a film that would remind me what it's like to be a kid. While is wasn't as great as I had hoped, it's a solid film. Not for kids, but about what being a kid is like. I quite enjoyed it, and I thought that Max Records was superb. Should have got Oscar noms for Cinematography and Adapted screenplay. Jones really built a fascinating tale from a pretty bare bones source. 7/10.
17:
25. REMEMBER THE TITANS - Nice film. It's a great mix of football, interesting characters, and a decent message. It's really easy to watch this any time it's on. And it always seems to be on. 8/10.
28:
26. BACK TO THE FUTURE - Classic. I can watch all of these films over and over. Yeah, I think the first one is the best, but they're all good. And it's completely as good as it originally was. It's just one of those escapist movies that continues to be fun. I can't imagine Eric Stoltz in the lead though. That's so strange to me. 8/10.
May
1:
27. Precious: Based of the Novel Push, by Sapphire - What a great movie. Great performances. This should be shown to all who don't understand today's youth. I'm a teacher, and I see kids like the ones depicted here quite a bit. In terms of acting, I thought Monique's Oscar was well deserved. This is a great lesson for those also in social work and anything dealing with children. Very representative of the times we live in. I think it will be remembered as one of the better films of the decade. 9/10
28. DIRTY DANCING - Nobody puts Baby in a corner! I like Swayze, but this is pretty cheesy. But it has a good song, and it's decent. Certainly liked Swayze better in Roadhouse though. 6/10.
14:
29. Fantastic Mr. Fox - What a delightful film. I love the sense of humor that runs throughout, and I thought the screenplay was superb, as much as one about a fox robbing from a bunch of farms can be. I was thoroughly impressed. 8/10.
15:
30. Iron Man 2 - Just as entertaining as the original. I had a blast. I thought that it possibly could have been edited down about 5 minutes or so, but it was solid. Rourke and Johannson were both great additions to the cast. Although I thought Cheadle's Rhodes was a bit stiff. I really didn't like him until he had that rooftop scene at the end. All around, another strong entry from Marvel. 8/10.
23:
31. JAWS 3 - We watched it because my wife had never seen it. I hate it about as much as I love the original Jaws. It's certainly the worst out of the Jaws films. Although there is a certain cheesiness and camp to some of it that makes it at least worth a grin. 3/10.
32. Robin Hood - I really enjoyed it. I heard a lot of negativity on this, but it's just as good as the Kingdom of Heaven DC. Maybe a smidgen below. It drug a bit in the middle, but that's my only real complaint. I found myself really liking this. Cinematography was gorgeous.
I wish the marketing would have been upfront with us. Just tell us this is the prequel to Robin Hood, don't call it Robin Hood. Call it something else, and call part two (judging from the end, it seemed like Scott really wanted to make this into a trilogy, or at least make one more that is a more "traditional" Hood story. I mean, the final title card at the end of the film, says, "So it begins," or something similar.) Hell, call the film ROBIN HOOD BEGINS. That's actually fitting. This sort of does to the Hood mythos what BEGINS did to Batman. Now I'm a bit sad that the film isn't doing that well at the box office because I'd really like another one.
I thought that the whole Lost Boys in the woods subplot didn't make sense until the end, when it was clear this wasn't Robin Hood, but a legit prequel. I'm confident that they would have played a much larger role in the next film. I'm just sad now because I really enjoyed spending time with these characters. The "merry men" had a true sense of merriment and camaraderie. There were some great action scenes. The relationships, between Robin and Marion, as well as among the men, seemed real.
I say go see it. I give it 8/10.
June
6:
33. TOY STORY 2 - I don't know why, but this seemed a lot better than the first time I watched it. I'm going to raise it a point. Everything seemed to work better. Maybe I just stopped comparing it to the first one and just relaxed and enjoyed it. 8/10.
11:
34. AVATAR - I watched this on my brother's 100 inch 1080P projector, with a kickass 7.1 surround sound system. I have to admit, I enjoyed it more than I did in theaters on the largest 3D screen in the country. Still an awesome film. Cameron really understands how to do a blockbuster. 9/10.
12:
35. LORD OF THE RINGS:THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING - The best of the rings films, in my opinion, and one of the best epics ever. I can seriously see this being my favorite film until I die many years from now. There's just so much to love about it. Of course, I'm referring to the extended cuts, because I don't even consider the theatrical versions when talking about LOTR anymore. In my mind, the EE's are the "real" versions. 10/10.
13:
36. It's Complicated - Not terrible, but not as good as I expected. I'm a huge 30 Rock fan, so I knew to expect great things from Baldwin, but perhaps I expected a bit much. All of the best laughs were shown in the trailers. But I liked Steve Martin's character. He's the only one that seemed like a real person to me. 6/10.
16:
37. UP - Such a sweet film. That montage of Carl and Ellie's marriage is still one of my favorite pieces of animation ever. Great emotion and storytelling, without a word spoken. Timeless. The rest of the film doesn't quite hold up, but it's still fun. 8/10.
18:
38. The A*Team - I really enjoyed this. My favorite movie of the summer so far. I enjoyed Copley like everyone else, but I don't think his acting was that great. I think he was trying to do a southern accent and failed so miserably that it played into his crazy character of doing "multiple voices," like I've seen people mention. Rampage was the weakest, but he wasn't terrible. And oddly, Cooper was the strongest. But Neeson was really the anchor holding it all together. Oh, and Patrick Wilson was the best thing about the film, hands down. HE completely stole the show. Oh, and did it not bother anyone else that they didn't kill Pike when they had the chance, and he kept being a pain in their ass for the rest of the film? Bothered me a bit. Go see it. 8/10.
21:
39. H@RRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE - I've said all along that Snape has been criminally underused, and it's a shame that he was even put to the back burner in his own film. I mean, the title describes him, but you wouldn't know it by watching it. You would think it was Wizard 90210 or something. Still, it could have been worse, but I can't help feeling that the filmmakers have sort of backed themselves into a corner by not showing any of the flashback/back story stuff and that they've skipped to focus on teenage love. 7/10
24:
40. NAPOLEON DYNAMITE - You know, I liked this a lot more this time around than the first time I watched it. It had a sense of humor that maybe I was just blind to the first time I saw it. It was fun. 7/10.
41. NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VAN WILDER - Not a great film, but it was fun. And it deserves props for being the only film where Tara Reid doesn't appear to be a 100% airhead. (She's only about 60% in this, which for her, is the best of her "career."). And I've like Reynolds since Two Guys, A girl, and a Pizza Place, even though he was just trying really hard to do his best Jim Carrey impression early on. Not a bad film, and worth a few chuckles. 6/10.
42. The Hurt Locker - Not best picture of the year. Not better than Avatar. Not better than most of the other best pic nominees, in fact. I don't see how so many people fell in love with this so quickly. Yes, there were some great moments of tension, and great moments in general, but it drug in places, was boring in others, sort of rambled some, and bored me in a few spots. An average flick overall, is how I would classify it. The fact that this even got nominated (other than technical awards) really surprises me. And IT WON!?!?!?! And Renner wasn't that good either. 7/10.
July
3:
43. Toy Story 3 - A perfect film. The best Toy Story film (and I never thought it would be better than the excellent original). It was pure entertainment. It had action, laughs, drama, emotion. Great characters, great moments. Great writing. Great animation/effects. Without a doubt, best animated film of the year. Should be up for the Best Picture Oscar if there's justice in the world. And fuck F@t Man Knowles. The ending was amazing. 10/10.
4:
44: INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS - What better way to celebrate independence day than watching Hitler's face being turned into swiss cheese. Do I wish there were some differences in the film? Sure. Like showing the Basterds ambush the Germans instead of just showing the aftermath (the prelude to the Bear Jew scene), but what's here is great. And Cristoph Waltz was fucking amazing. 8/10.
8:
45. Wanted - Not a great film, but it was fun. I liked the sexiness that Jolie had, and that McAvoy kid wasn't bad. But honestly, any film that gets Morgan Freeman to yell "MOTHER FUCKER!" gets bonus points. 6/10.
46. GET SMART - This movie's not great, but something about it tickles my funny bone. It could have been better, but for what it was, I enjoyed it. Carrell had great timing in this. 6/10.
22:
47. Kung Fu Panda - This is actually a good Kung Fu film. I actually think this is one of the better animated films I've seen. Hell, in some months, this would be the best film of the month. It was enjoyable, funny, and action packed. Fun times. 8/10.
23:
48. Inception - I'm still trying to wrap my head around what I just saw. What a film. I've been saying that Tom Hardy was going to be a star for a while, and this cemented that. Probably lowers the chances of him being Cassidy in my dream PREACHER film, but oh well. Leo was good in this too. Hell, everyone was good in this. I have to think on this some more, and see it some more, but right now it's a solid 9/10.
31:
49. RUNAWAY BRIDE - Not bad. Not as good as PRETTY WOMAN, but Gere and Roberts do have great chemistry. My wife wanted to watch it. 6/10.
August
1:
50. THE DARK KNIGHT - Still holds up really well. Nolan is truly a master filmmaker. He just gets how do make compelling stuff. He still could use a bit less shakycam in action though. That's his one weakness. 10/10.
5:
51. Secondhand Lions - Never caught this. Worth seeing just for the scene where an old ass Robert Duvall beats the asses of a few punk kids. But it wasn't terrible, and it seemed a bit uplifting without being real cheesy, which doesn't seem to happen a lot these days. And what the hell happened to Haley Joel Osment after this? 7/10.
7:
52. The Bounty Hunter - Pretty vanilla and by the numbers, but Butler and Aniston have pretty solid chemistry. But nothing special. 5/10.
10:
53. Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - What a trip. I'm not usually a Nic Cage fan, but I freaking loved him in this. He was channeling his character from Face Off, and that's not a bad thing. Some of this felt dream like, and when EVERYTHING in the film started going his way, I was almost positive that it would be revealed that he was certainly dreaming. 8/10
28:
54. The Other Guys - Not quite what I was expecting. I went to this mainly for the The Rock and Sam Jackson, and they were awesome in what they were asked to do. But the fact that they died 10 minutes into the film totally deflated it for me. I was expecting something more along the lines of Jackson and The Rock were always beating Ferrell and Marky Mark to the punch and getting all the credit for stuff, and at the end, the other guys have to actually save the day. That was the way this was marketed, and I think that would have been the better film. This wasn't terrible, but I've seen much better. 6/10.
September
5:
55. Sherlock Holmes - One of the better film Guy Ritchie has made, in my opinion. And I really sort of liked the Holmes/Watson dynamic. I like that it's open for a sequel, and I'll certainly be there for it. Downey has really turned himself into one of the only "reliable" leading men out there. I really enjoyed this. 8/10.
6:
56. Machete -My dad and I went to check this out, and we both had a blast. For me, I'll remember this summer for Toy Story 3, Inception, and Machete. We were smiling nearly the entire time (maybe because we were the only white dudes in a theater full of Mexicans...mmmm). Anyway, it was badass. The Lohan nudity was certainly unexpected, and the Alba almost-nudity was nice, but it still doesn't make up for her being completely miscast in Sin City.
Trejo was good. Girls pulling cell phones out of their vaginas are funny. Fahey was the shit, and Johnson was solid too. And even Seagal was good. Lots of humor, and some creative kills. Go see this film. It's a blast. 8/10.
19:
57. Nacho Libre - Something about Jack Black is appealing to me, and him playing a studly Mexican/Lucha Libre is funny in design and execution. I think I probably like this better than Napoleon Dynamite. 7/10.
30:
58. The Last Song - Mylie Cyrus actually wasn't bad in this. It was a run of the mill sappy crap that is churned out every year, but it wasn't a complete waste. Cyrus shows she could possibly have a career if she takes the right roles and has a lot more guidance. 5/10.
October
9:
59. HAPPY GILMORE - Adam Sandler back when he made funny films. Seems like he just carries a camera crew around with him and he just films himself, because he doesn't seem to play characters anymore. But this film got so many things right. Shooter McGavin was a great character, and perfectly snarky. (7/10)
60. BILLY MADISON - See above. Sandler was funny once. Although this one's a bit more idiotic, it's still very amusing. (7/10)
61. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - Kick ass animated film. One of the very best. Disney was really one a roll in the early/mid 90s. This may be their masterpiece. (10/10).
16:
62. HOME ALONE - A great family film. A likable protagonist. Fun villians. Cooky ancillary characters. More kids movies should be like this, and not so pandering. 8/10
63. Easter Promises - Holy Shit. This is one of my favorite Cronenberg films now. This is a really solid film that felt totally true and genuine. Nothing really felt false to me. And the guy that played the Russian don did a superb job. Totally Oscar worthy. It wasn't a mafioso caricature. It felt like a real man. And of course Viggo really brought his A game. His nomination was certainly deserved. And that bathhouse fight? BRUTAL. 9/10.
November
25:
64. Over Her Dead Body - Paul Rudd was okay in this, and now I know who Lake Bell is. But this really wasn't that good. Man, that Biggs guy just sort of faded into obscurity. He was pretty shitty in this. And Eva Longoria really does just seem like a bitch. 3/10.
65. CASTAWAY - I usually always catch this once Hanks is already on the island, and I finally saw this from the beginning and I forgot how intense the plane crash was. Nice film, and it really stands up well. 8/10.
26:
66. ALONG CAME POLLY - Not a huge Aniston or Stiller fan, but I thought they were both fairly likeable in this. And Phillip Seymor Hoffman was always a good addition to the cast. 6/10
28:
67. H@rry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - This really feels so much like an incomplete film, it's hard to wrap my mind around it all. I love lots of pieces of this, but I really won't be able to say what I feel until next summer, I think. The acting is MUCH better, but some of the action is much to shaky cam to even be understood. The destruction of the Horcrux was awesome though. Much better than I imagined, but everything else was about what I expected. I have to make special mention of the Deathly Hallows animated portion toward the end. It was for me, by far, the highlight of the film. 7/10.
68. The Expendables - Maybe not QUITE as badass as I was expecting, but this was a really solid action flick that I wish we had more of. I hope this leads to more stuff like this. I loved that entire action scene for the last 35 minutes or so. That thing was relentless. There wasn't really a weak link in the cast either. Hopefully there's a sequel. 8/10.
December
10:
69. Faster - Hooray for the Rock kicking ass again. Even though the script was pretty terrible and this wasn't really a great film, the Rock needs to do 2 movies like this per year, minimum. The big "twist" was choreographed from a mile away. Not good, but not dreck either. Good enough to waste an hour and a half with your dad on a Friday. 6/10.
12:
70. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus - Damn good film. Nice final performance turned in by Ledger. And damn, Christopher Plummer is the shit in this! He absolutely is amazing. And Tom Waits needs to be in more films, based on this. So many good things in this film. Lily Cole was delicious. The only weak spot was Verne Troyer, whose not the best actor. But it was genius by Gilliam to pull this off after Ledger's death. Awesome film. Gilliam's best in a long time. 9/10.
21:
71. MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET - There are way too many Christmas films at this time of year, but this is one that's nice. I know the remake isn't exactly looked upon too fondly, but Richard Attenborough is so likable. He really seems like Santa (if there were such a man). Classy actor in a classy role. 8/10.
22:
72. GRUMPY OLD MEN - Fucking classic. This is one of my favorite comedies. Lemmon and Mattheau are really legends. They are so good together. This film was like a perfect storm of timing/actors/script, etc. 9/10.
27:
73. DANCES WITH WOLVES - Is it safe to say this is Costner's best film. It's certainly his most ambitious, and he pulls it off. There's some cheesy voice over at a couple of spots, but this is really strong. Equal parts touching, brutal, and humorous. For me it's this or Field of Dreams. There was a point when I was in about 5th grade when this first was released, and it was my absolute favorite film. I had a thing about Native American culture back then. 9/10.
28:
74. THE EXPENDABLES - Fun action film. I hope that if there's a sequel, the characters are fleshed out a bit more. 8/10.
29:
75. True Grit - The chick that played Mattie should be nominated for an Oscar, because as awesome as Bridges was as Cogburn (and he was), she absolutely carried the film. The Academy will also be making a huge mistake if this doesn't win best adapted screenplay. The script was my favorite part of the whole affair. It was witty, sharp, brutal, and most importantly, it felt real. Cinematography was great as well. One of the best westerns in years (since Unforgiven). 9/10.
30:
76. INCEPTION - Damn, Nolan is such a genius filmmaker, and it's evident in how I enjoyed this much more the second time viewing it. It was as if I wasn't concerned with who was dreaming or what, and I just let it all wash over me. I love a film that is open to interpretation, and after a second watch, I think I've come to nearly the exact opposite interpretation that I had upon a first viewing. And that's why this film is special. 10/10.

First viewings only, and maybe one or two movies I might have seen 20 years ago but can't remember anything about
As usual all movies are in German unless noted otherwise. I'll try to go with the original titles this time.
The rating has been changed to a five point system which makes it more easy for me to place the movies. But it also means movies with the same rating aren't as comparable in quality as before.
1. Tous à l'Ouest: Une aventure de Lucky Luke (01.01 TV 4/5)
2. Reykjavik - Rotterdam (01.01 TV 4,5/5) : At times doesn't quite know if it wants to be serious or not, but instead of feeling that it was uneven it made it unpredictable for me
3. Hui Buh (02.01 TV 1,5/5) : I hate to use such a term but this was bordering on childhood rape. Saved from hate by Christoph Maria Herbst
4. Die Wilden Kerle (03.01 TV 1,5/5): I try not to hate too much on movies that weren't made for me, kids movies being an example, but the only thing that prevent me from giving this zero points was me drawing 300 comparisons in my head. Made a few scenes pretty hilarious.
5. Die Abrafaxe - Unter schwarzer Flagge (03.01 TV 3/5)
6. Der Mönch mit der Peitsche (03.01 TV 2,5/5)
7. The Village (04.01 TV 4/5):
8. The Maltese Falcon (07.01 TV 4/5)
9. Rush Hour 3 (11.01 TV 2/5)
10. Manderlay (12.01 TV 4/5): I can't make up my mind if I would like it better with real sets, but I know I found it far less distracting than in Dogville.
11. BloodRayne (23.01 TV 1,5/5)
12. BloodRayne II Deliverance (23.01 TV 1,5/5)
13. Gonger 2 - Das Böse kehrt zurück (25.01 TV 2/5)
14. A Prairie Home Companion (25.01 TV 5/5)
15. Der Schut (31.01 TV 4/5)
16. Hepzibah - Sie holt dich im Schlaf (02.02 TV 2/5)
17. Kong saan mei yan (05.02 TV 3/5)
18. An American Haunting (06.02 TV 3,5/5)
19. I Am Legend (07.02 TV 3/5)
20. Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (08.02 TV 4/5) Points deducted for being overdone cryptic. Seriously WTF?
21. The Golden Compass (11.02 TV 4/5)
22. Metropolis 27/10 (13.02 VHS recording of a TV broadcast of a theatrical showing with live orchestra 5/5): Great cyborg whore of Babylon, I love this movie. The 'new' material is of decidedly poorer quality but everything beats those damn titlecards informing you about a missing scene (there are still 2 of those
) Absolutely loved the extended scenes of 'Der Schmale'.
23. The Badge (15.02 TV 4/5)
24. Avatar (16.02 Theatrical 3D 3/5): I was utterly unimpressed with the 3D which leaves a pretty, possibly even barely, okayish movie.
25. Conspiracy (06.03 TV 5/5)
26. The Last King of Scotland (06.03 TV 3,5/5)
27. Idiocracy (07.03 TV 3,5/5)
28. Shoot 'Em Up (07.03 DVD 2/5)
29. Gargoyle (13.03 TV 1/5)
30. Agatha Christie: Poirot 'The Hollow' (18.03 TV 3,5/5): I'll count this as a movie despite IMDB listing it as a series. Oddly I seem to enjoy those for exact the opposite reasons why I enjoy the Peter Ustinov movie versions
31. Schwere Jungs (20.03 TV 4/5)
32. Alone in the Dark II (20.03 TV 1/5): Words fail me so I will quote a great man:"unfortunate hanging rope falls from forest." It should also be noted that with the new ratings this is a good deal worse than the other movies with just one point.
33. Tucker (22.03 TV 4/5)
34. Stardust (25.03 TV 4/5): Could have been a contender for 5/5 but somehow at times I didn't like the tone of it, mostly when Tristan and Yvaine were arguing.
35. Sofies verden (27.03 TV 4/5)
36. Swamp Devil (27.03 TV 2/5)
37. El laberinto del fauno (28.03 TV 4/5)
38. AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (02.04 TV 3/5): People have very distinctive ideas what an Alien movie should look like. Or a Predator movie. Or an Alien vs. Predator movie. If you can get pass all three of those the movie isn't that bad but not really good either.
39. Bridge to Terabithia (03.04 TV 5/5)
40. 10.000 BC (04.04 TV 3/5)
41. Death Proof (05.04 TV 0/5): Before anyone get's on my nerves for ranking something lower than Alone in the Dark II 0 points is reserved for the kind of hate that is very subjective, personal and probably irrational. That being said: Un-explicit-watchable
42. Ten Canoes (06.04 TV Aboriginal dialog with subs, dubbed narration 4/5)
43. Marple: The Body in the Library (08.04 TV 3,5/5)
44. Ogre (10.04 TV 2/5)
45. Beowulf(2007) (11.04 TV 4/5): I always sympathize with people pissed at a loud party. Still liked it.
46. Marple: The Murder at the Vicarage (15.04 TV 3,5/5)
47. Living Hell (17.04 TV 1/5)
48. Ödipussi (18.04 TV 4/5)
49. Gosford Park (18.04 TV 4/5)
50. Marple: A Murder is Announced (22.04 TV 3,5/5)
51. The Secret of the Inkas (24.04 TV 4/5): Destroyed my attempt to finally watch Galaxy Quest because the song from the Big Lebowski porn shoot (or was it just a party?) caught my ear. But it was well worth it although I had wished for a different ending.
52. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (25.04 TV 2,5/5)
53. The Kovak Box (25.04 TV 3/5)
54. Victim Five (08.05 TV 3/5)
55. Knockaround Guys (08.05 TV 3,5/5)
56. Durchs wilde Kurdistan (09.05 TV 4/5)
57. Im Reiche des silbernen Löwen (09.05 TV 3,5/5)
58. Los Borgia (09.05 TV 3,5/5)
59. 1408 (13.05 TV 3/5)
60. Silentium (14.05 TV Austrian with a few English sentences 4,5/5)
61. Disturbia (16.05 TV 3/5)
62. Hostage (16.05 TV 4/5)
63. Le parfum de la dame en noir (2005) (17.05 TV 3,5/5): I gave this the benefit of the doubt assuming my strong sense of confusion during the beginning stemmed from not remembering much of the first part of this story although I’m sure I’ve seen it at some point. Apart from that I liked a lot of it for it’s somewhat silly humor.
64. The Wind That Shakes The Barley (20.05 TV 5/5)
65. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (23.05 TV 3/5): I really liked the opening but was disappointed when I realized the movie was not about racing. But at least now I know who the Child Catcher is.
66. In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (23.05 TV 3/5): The best Boll movie I've ever seen, verging on the passable.
67. Over the Hedge (24.05 TV 4/5)
68. Flyboys (24.05 TV 3/5): I gave it the benefit of doubt that the action scenes would improve if not cut down for TV
69. The Front (26.05 TV 3/5)
70. Blade: Trinity (30.05 TV 0/5): I should have known better, I just don't like Blade movies. This too benefits from the assumption that the action would look better in an uncut version. updated to zero points. A month later I can't remember a single thing that would keep me from hating this.
71. Death of a President (01.06 TV 3/5): Good grades for nailing the documentary style but it focuses mainly on the least important and/or interesting aspect of the fictional assassination.
72. Asterix et les Vikings (06.06 TV 3,5/5): The movie should have been all about the Vikings, those were the most fun.
73. Hollow Man II (30.06 TV 2/5)
74. Sherlock Holmes in Washington (01.07 TV 3/5)
75. The Scarlet Claw (05.07 TV 3,5/5)
76. Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror (06.07 TV 3/5)
77. When a Stranger Calls (2006) (07.07 TV 4/5)
78. S certy nejsou zerty (08.07 TV 3,5/5): A bit weird. Guess I’m not used to the devil taking the part of the good fairy in Fairy Tale movies
79. Chasseurs de dragons (09.07 TV 3/5): I really wish they would have kept the animation style of the series.
80. Around the World in 80 Days (2004) (??? TV 3/5)
81. Gale Force (13.07 TV 1,5/5)
82. Alatriste (16.07 TV 4,5/5): Felt a bit choppy, a feeling that I often get from historical movies based closer on reality than I suppose this is. Maybe the whole series of books shouldn't have been condensed to one movie but I still liked what I saw.
83. The Case of the Whitechapel Vampire (17.07 TV 3/5)
84. Charlie Wilson's War (18.07 TV 4/5)
85. D-War (18.07 TV 3/5 Subtitles for Korean parts of the dialouge I suppose)
86. Blood Tea and Red String (20.07 TV 4/5): Bizzare²
87. The Spiderwick Chronicles (22.07 TV 3/5)
88. Renaissance (22.07 TV 3,5/5)
89. Strings (2004) (23.07 TV 5/5): Maybe it's just my soft spot for marionettes but I thought this was truly amazing. Loved how the puppets weren't portraying humans but actual puppets without the movie being about a bunch of toys.
90. The Last Legion (25.07 TV 2,5/5)
91. Before the Devil knows you are Dead (29.07 TV 3/5)
92. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (06.08 TV 3/5)
93. Winnetou und sein Freund Old Firehand (08.08 TV 3/5)
94. 3:10 to Yuma (15.08. TV 2/5)
95. Vantage Point (29.08. TV 3/5)
96. Sluga Gosudarev (29.08 TV 3/5)
97. The Reflecting Skin (03.09 TV 4/5): What an odd movie
98. Casablanca (12.09 TV 4,5/5): Weird until now I never realized I haven't seen this before
99. The Incredible Hulk (19.09 TV 3/5)
100. The Wild North (25.09 TV 3,5/5)
101. Der Knochenmann (09.10 DVD 4/5)
102. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (28.10 TV 3/5)
103. La vénitienne (29.10 TV 3/5)
104. Luther (31.10 TV 4/5)
105. Ironman (31.10 TV 4/5)
106. Taxi 4 (07.11 TV 3,5/5)
107. The Hive (16.11 TV 1/5)
108. Das Leben der Anderen (18.11 TV 4/5)
109. No Country for Old Men (20.11 DVD 4/5)
110. Reiton kyôju to eien no utahime (20.11 TV 3,5/5): Outstanding (i.e. better than the rest of the movie) score
111. The Mist (some while ago TV 0/5): I only list this now because as a random thought it struck me that switching the channels and missing half the movie because I absolutely loathe it shouldn't prevent it from being listed here.
112. Vals Im Bashir (23.11 TV 5/5)
113. Låt den rätte komma in (25.11 TV 4/5)
114. 28 Weeks later (27.11 DVD 3/5): Shaky cam made it nearly unwatchable for me.
115. Goldene Zeiten (28.11 DVD 3,5/5). Lacks the charm of the director's previous efforts, but still highly entertaining.
116. Match Point (30.11 TV 4,5/5)
117. Sherlock Holmes (2010 DTV) (11.12 TV 2/5)
118. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (14.12 TV 4/5)
119. Serbis (17.12 subtitled TV 3/5)
120. Inception (18.12 DVD 4/5)
121. The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (18.12 TV 3/5)
122. The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines (18.12 TV 3/5)
123. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (19.12 DVD 5/5): Why the hell did nobody punch me in the face for not watching this earlier. I'm disappointed in all of you.
124. Hardcover (19.12 TV 3/5)
125. Ridicule (20.12 TV 4,5/5)
126. Ye Yan (21.12 TV 3/5)

128. Persepolis (24.12 DVD 5/5)
129. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (25.12 TV 3/5)
130. 30 Days of Knight (25.12 TV heavily cut! 2,5/5)
131. Peau d'âne (27.12 TV 3,5/5): Way to kill the fairy tale mood with an helicopter
132. Der Henker (28.12 TV 3/5)
As usual all movies are in German unless noted otherwise. I'll try to go with the original titles this time.

58. Los Borgia (09.05 TV 3,5/5)
59. 1408 (13.05 TV 3/5)
60. Silentium (14.05 TV Austrian with a few English sentences 4,5/5)
61. Disturbia (16.05 TV 3/5)
62. Hostage (16.05 TV 4/5)
63. Le parfum de la dame en noir (2005) (17.05 TV 3,5/5): I gave this the benefit of the doubt assuming my strong sense of confusion during the beginning stemmed from not remembering much of the first part of this story although I’m sure I’ve seen it at some point. Apart from that I liked a lot of it for it’s somewhat silly humor.
64. The Wind That Shakes The Barley (20.05 TV 5/5)
65. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (23.05 TV 3/5): I really liked the opening but was disappointed when I realized the movie was not about racing. But at least now I know who the Child Catcher is.
66. In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (23.05 TV 3/5): The best Boll movie I've ever seen, verging on the passable.
67. Over the Hedge (24.05 TV 4/5)
68. Flyboys (24.05 TV 3/5): I gave it the benefit of doubt that the action scenes would improve if not cut down for TV
69. The Front (26.05 TV 3/5)
70. Blade: Trinity (30.05 TV 0/5): I should have known better, I just don't like Blade movies. This too benefits from the assumption that the action would look better in an uncut version. updated to zero points. A month later I can't remember a single thing that would keep me from hating this.
71. Death of a President (01.06 TV 3/5): Good grades for nailing the documentary style but it focuses mainly on the least important and/or interesting aspect of the fictional assassination.
72. Asterix et les Vikings (06.06 TV 3,5/5): The movie should have been all about the Vikings, those were the most fun.
73. Hollow Man II (30.06 TV 2/5)
74. Sherlock Holmes in Washington (01.07 TV 3/5)
75. The Scarlet Claw (05.07 TV 3,5/5)
76. Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror (06.07 TV 3/5)
77. When a Stranger Calls (2006) (07.07 TV 4/5)
78. S certy nejsou zerty (08.07 TV 3,5/5): A bit weird. Guess I’m not used to the devil taking the part of the good fairy in Fairy Tale movies
79. Chasseurs de dragons (09.07 TV 3/5): I really wish they would have kept the animation style of the series.
80. Around the World in 80 Days (2004) (??? TV 3/5)
81. Gale Force (13.07 TV 1,5/5)
82. Alatriste (16.07 TV 4,5/5): Felt a bit choppy, a feeling that I often get from historical movies based closer on reality than I suppose this is. Maybe the whole series of books shouldn't have been condensed to one movie but I still liked what I saw.
83. The Case of the Whitechapel Vampire (17.07 TV 3/5)
84. Charlie Wilson's War (18.07 TV 4/5)
85. D-War (18.07 TV 3/5 Subtitles for Korean parts of the dialouge I suppose)
86. Blood Tea and Red String (20.07 TV 4/5): Bizzare²
87. The Spiderwick Chronicles (22.07 TV 3/5)
88. Renaissance (22.07 TV 3,5/5)
89. Strings (2004) (23.07 TV 5/5): Maybe it's just my soft spot for marionettes but I thought this was truly amazing. Loved how the puppets weren't portraying humans but actual puppets without the movie being about a bunch of toys.
90. The Last Legion (25.07 TV 2,5/5)
91. Before the Devil knows you are Dead (29.07 TV 3/5)
92. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (06.08 TV 3/5)
93. Winnetou und sein Freund Old Firehand (08.08 TV 3/5)
94. 3:10 to Yuma (15.08. TV 2/5)
95. Vantage Point (29.08. TV 3/5)
96. Sluga Gosudarev (29.08 TV 3/5)
97. The Reflecting Skin (03.09 TV 4/5): What an odd movie
98. Casablanca (12.09 TV 4,5/5): Weird until now I never realized I haven't seen this before
99. The Incredible Hulk (19.09 TV 3/5)
100. The Wild North (25.09 TV 3,5/5)
101. Der Knochenmann (09.10 DVD 4/5)
102. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (28.10 TV 3/5)
103. La vénitienne (29.10 TV 3/5)
104. Luther (31.10 TV 4/5)
105. Ironman (31.10 TV 4/5)
106. Taxi 4 (07.11 TV 3,5/5)
107. The Hive (16.11 TV 1/5)
108. Das Leben der Anderen (18.11 TV 4/5)
109. No Country for Old Men (20.11 DVD 4/5)
110. Reiton kyôju to eien no utahime (20.11 TV 3,5/5): Outstanding (i.e. better than the rest of the movie) score
111. The Mist (some while ago TV 0/5): I only list this now because as a random thought it struck me that switching the channels and missing half the movie because I absolutely loathe it shouldn't prevent it from being listed here.
112. Vals Im Bashir (23.11 TV 5/5)
113. Låt den rätte komma in (25.11 TV 4/5)
114. 28 Weeks later (27.11 DVD 3/5): Shaky cam made it nearly unwatchable for me.
115. Goldene Zeiten (28.11 DVD 3,5/5). Lacks the charm of the director's previous efforts, but still highly entertaining.
116. Match Point (30.11 TV 4,5/5)
117. Sherlock Holmes (2010 DTV) (11.12 TV 2/5)
118. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (14.12 TV 4/5)
119. Serbis (17.12 subtitled TV 3/5)
120. Inception (18.12 DVD 4/5)
121. The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (18.12 TV 3/5)
122. The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines (18.12 TV 3/5)
123. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (19.12 DVD 5/5): Why the hell did nobody punch me in the face for not watching this earlier. I'm disappointed in all of you.
124. Hardcover (19.12 TV 3/5)
125. Ridicule (20.12 TV 4,5/5)
126. Ye Yan (21.12 TV 3/5)
127. The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (24.12 TV 2,5/5)
128. Persepolis (24.12 DVD 5/5)

130. 30 Days of Knight (25.12 TV heavily cut! 2,5/5)

Re: The Zone's 2010 Movie Journal

i like movies.
JANUARY
*Four Christmases - i should be allowed to beat Vince Vaughn with a sledge hammer, once, for each of the 88 minutes of runtime i sat through. (0/5)
*Julie & Julia - i LOVE Meryl Streep. they just should have made a Julia Child biography movie and had Streep channel her for two hours. plus, i should be allowed to track down the real life Julie Powell and beat her for being such an obnoxious bitch. (2/5)
*Extract - DO NOT WATCH! EVER!! (0/5)
*Moon - I put this red because I fucking LOVE this movie! I still have yet to see District 9, but THIS is the fucking best movie of 2009, so James Cameron can go suck a dick and learn how to tell a fucking story. Sam Rockwell's performance was made for an Oscar, so fuck Sony for not bucking up and sending out screeners to the MPAA voters. WATCH THIS MOVIE NOW! (5/5)
*500 Days Of Summer - Awesome, awesome, awesome movie. Yet, another movie from 2009 that's better then Avatar. I never watched 3rd Rock from the Sun before, but I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He would have made a great Peter Parker. Alas. (4/5)
*9 - The animation, I thought, was awesome. The story, not so much. It was like a cartoon Avatar! (1/5)
*Mon Meilleur Ami (My Best Friend) - Good, funny, engaging movie. And Daniel Auteuil was great, as always. (3/5)
*Memento - Love, love, love this movie. Guy Pearce, make more shit like this. (4/5)
*Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil - A fantastic movie! Clint's best directing. Spacey's best acting. Cusack's best acting. The Lady Chablis. (4/5)
*District 9 - Now THAT was a great movie! Not as good as Moon in my opinion, but a MUCH better movie than Avatar. Can't wait to see what's next from Neill Blomkamp. (5/5)
*Mamma Mia! - One of the great, recent stage-to-screen musicals. I can watch this over and over without getting tired of it. Partially because ABBA rocks. Also, Streep can do no wrong. And I don't have a problem with anyone's singing in the movie (Brosnan has been singled out repeated for poor vocals, but I LOVE the version of "SOS" that him and Streep do). I do feel that Christine Baranski's "Does Your Mother Know" is out of place in the movie version. It probably fits, and makes more sense, in the stage production, but they totally cut the side-story about the young kid trying to bang the MILF, so keeping her song to him in the movie doesn't fit. (4/5)
FEBRUARY
*Paris, Je T'aime (Paris, I Love You) - Interesting, funny, witty, and HUGE fucking tear-jerker, but a great movie that I adored. My favs, that probably had me crying the most are Juliette Binoche's segment, The Bastille segment (with Sergio and his wife's red trenchcoat), and Sophie's segment Place des Fêtes. I also loved Portman's segment, Gus Van Sant's segment, the Coen Bros segment with Buscemi, and Wes Craven's Père-Lachaise segment. The Elijah Wood segment just felt out of place. Also, the movie made me fucking miss Paris like I wouldn't believe. (4/5)
*Memento - Yes, I caught it on cable again. I don't care. Fucking love it. (4/5)
*The Royal Tenenbaums - I like this movie a lot. I can watch it whenever it's on. Not a great as Rushmore, IMHO, but still a really good movie. As for the debate over the music in Wes Anderson's movies... I think Rushmore was more hit and Tenenbaums was more miss. HOWEVER, I do think he needs to do away with all the obscure songs and just let Mark Mothersbaugh score all his flicks. (3/5)
*Forgetting Sarah Marshall - This movie just gets funnier and funnier every time I see it. Jason Segel is fucking hilarious with everything he does. For a while, my ringtone was the song "Psychiatrist" (after he came back from Hawaii - "Everybody hates you... Everybody wishes that you were dead... Cause Peter you suck, Peter you suck). (5/5)
*Coraline - FANTASTIC! I haven't seen UP, so I can't compare the two, but Coraline is a lovely movie and well worthy of any Oscars nominations that it grabbed. A really great job of translating the book to the screen and making it kid/family friendly. I say that, cause I felt the book is one of the most frightening books I have ever read. SERIOUSLY! The voices, while seemingly just "celebrity" voices, were all well done. I especially loved (and barely recognized) French & Saunders as Miss Spink and Miss Forcible. (5/5)
*Serenity - I can watch this movie over and over and over and over. I still prefer the TV show (even with the horrid theme song) because I felt the TV show had a bigger scope and SO MUCH was left undiscovered (two-by-two;hands of blue!). But THIS is an outer-space opera that gave me a sense of wonder similar to what Star Wars gave me as a child. THIS is what the prequels should have been. Mal leading Serenity through the ion cloud into the waiting arms of Mr. Kinky Boots (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and the Alliance fleet, only to be followed by the Reaver armada is still one of favorite moments from 00 movies. I will love this movie forever and be first in line if a second movie is ever green-lit. (5/5)

Mal leading Serenity through the ion cloud into the waiting arms of Mr. Kinky Boots (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and the Alliance fleet, only to be followed by the Reaver armada is still one of favorite moments from 00 movies. I will love this movie forever and be first in line if a second movie is ever green-lit. (5/5)

I'll give this a go for the new year.
I'd like to rate my films out of 100.
I'm currently watching through all Jackie's Chans films from 1971 to 2008. A recent thread here inspired to go back through this career and watch once more.

Holy shit, I'll do my best to actually update this this year... If not I'll delete like Obi-Wan.
January
The Damned United - Good cast, well performed but I didn't really feel any real transportive drama or too much other than slight hints of the damned. Maybe it should have just been called filthy Leeds. 3/5
2012 - Dear Gods, why? Kinda not watching and half sleeping made it bearable 2/5
Elf - Pretty dire. Fav's really made a stinker. 2/5
Taking Woodstock - I don't remember reading too many good things about it, but I really enjoyed it and found it tremendously evocative, capturing all the little things that surround and comprise an event. Pretty darn dry humoured too. 5/5
The Limits of Control - Even committed Jarmuschists might have trouble with this one... but it resonated with me in all sorts of funky little ways, but yeah, I was a little disappointed none the less. 4/5
Slavoj Zizek: The Reality of the Virtual - Not as entertaining as Zizek! but it was worth it for his examination ofThe Sound of Music!!!!!!!11111!! 3/5
Zombieland: Fun, but I couldn't help but think I had something better to do. I imagine this films target audience is unable to go see it. 3/5
The Lovely Bones - Really amazing to see a movie again that feels once more like a signatory Wingnut production (not counting the amazing District 9). Ideologically, its a bit weird - granted, but none-the-less it wields a surprisingly emotional punch and I can almost forgive Peter Jackson for the Lord of the Rings walkathonabominations... but, shit , he's lost some ground since Heavenly Creatures... and sadly this can't compare to it favourably. Keep at it tho Jacko!1 4/5
The Lovely Bones- Watched it again... and to be fair it is pretty awesome in just how different it is. 4.5/5
A Serious Man - I attempted a quick analysis in the movies dedicated thread, and I am already jonesing to watch it again! 5/5 but could go to the coveted 6/5 It's supremely well made and I guess you can expect nothing less from the Coens, but they make it look so damn easy.
Know your Mushrooms - I now have a better understanding of Mushrooms and fungus. I wanna know more! 4/5
Whip It - Roller Derby as a the new dirty dancing? An all female lost boys?!?! It ruled. 4/5
Whip It The glow of first love was still there, but something was different. Me. No, that's not true, but seriously, its good fun 4/5
Something, something, darkside - I'm not a big family guy fan, and this was ALF, but I guess that's the point and I watched it with my brain in a one level above sleep mode and enjoyed it for just the sheer audacity of it being a thoroughly graphically well done run through of tESb. Its better/funnier than the first one too (substantially actually), but ultimately I found it a pretty low level kinda comfort food 2/5
Precious - Worthy melodrama, which I enjoyed and Mariah Carey stopped singing on roller coasters, showing off her bewbs and postponed overdoses to appear in what was actually a pretty good performance. If you fancy watching a film about a studly chick that's gonna be real-ish then you could really do a lot worse. No really, this is the film for you. 3.5/5
It's Complicated I went to the supermarket midway through and missed the end when I came back. Um... 2/5
Definitely Maybe I wanted to go to the supermarket midway through, well I wanted to go at the start too, but I'd already been. 1/5
Sherlock Holmes Gor Blimey, look at London they're building bridges. Good effects and period detail, minuscule soul but supremely entertaining 4/5
He's Just Not That Into You - BENIFER IS BACK!!11 (albeit with a different Jennifer, TWO OF THEM!11 My Eyes!11). 4/5

映画は私をボールの金魚より幸せにさせる
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense. Jan 13th. The Name of this Band Is The Face of The Storyteller. With the fan key whitest band ever since Can. And David Byrne gave the music demon exuding an release to the neurosis patient of all paranoias. If it is with Woodstock, the largest music movie you do not not see.
Village of the Damned (orig). Jan 14th. So one of those movies which are referred to being the popular culture where I really have forgotten me did not look at that. As for delightful me this because functioning being done, the sink of the kitchen or fear of the moderate English person who is made because of the movie where the process which has the element of the new wave movie is large it changed in the tradition of the English fear which dries the problem. Inspect that!
Moon. Jan 20th. I brag approving the fantasy scientific novel maniac and that. This Solyaris, you take the element from 2001 and Silent Running, turn to the splendid gold aim coarse item. In addition as for Sam Rockwell perhaps I think the movie with him was seen more carefully (than the batman of methodological variety, Multiplicity) offer the highest many efficiency.
Lone Wolf & Cub V: White Heaven in Hell. January 21st. It transcends something all genres completely in other ones, and lone of the wolf. The movie which it has we should own; If the house of the best pulverization it offers, there is grinding. Art characteristic, concerning the other whichever movie that connects entertainments and the gore so well, being covered completely, by the meditation which death fixes you think of it. These movies of sexual intercourse I love! Five not to have met rather to others standard- it beats them fully- 4 perhaps not as good, after 3rd steps into the next virtue, but so it is I have still not look at 6. But seriously, look at these movies. It was recommended strongly.
Perfume: Story of a Murderer. Jan 21st. This time as for this it is the imagination of my type! It is beautiful, it was warped, being driven and by some investigation, more from the lot of the specification which is our God. Because I avoid that the present place the only explanation which it has and completely as for 1 of the movies whose ten years are best, this thing first-rate " So it is; Perfume" Sounds girly… of the type which I avoid. Mistake I have made; not again
Black Dynamite. Jan 22nd. Ugly idiot! This the method you teasing what, is the dryer from the Sahara. The film of another black exploitation me think of again; the black dynamite where trouble is seen without thinking, it made things clear goofiness how concerning it is. Well, it is good, I may live that.
Friends of Eddie Coyle. Jan 24th. As for me before he writes the storage space dog, the last movie Tarantino where you could see this you are not surprised. My God the manuscript to this movie is large. When Elmore Leonard is in the screenwriting racket, as for this with the movie which he probably will write.
The Green Ray. Jan 25th. Bought set of box by Rohmer after humous post. I can see influence large set down on Tarantino and Before and After Sunset. Smarts of the director are seen inside frames of which the movie was made.
Punishment Park. Jan 27th.

それ楽しまれる彼の仮眠楽しまれる仏よりもっと。
Carnivale Season 1 - Jan 2-13. Your insanity which comes hiding connect the thanking/apologizing meat festival which is not [seringu] point something. That seems that occasionally is strange because of strange, but in addition being devoted very, the pleasure. I like paice.
The Lives of Others - Jan 2nd. The North Pole bear is cooler; Nail of the foot finger of us. But whether how concerning it can transcend environment and the advertisement where the people are brought up there is very suitable uplifting story and already in the alone human.
Anvil: Story of Anvil - Jan 11th. That is syncs of the anvil where strange how the vertebral stab has been attached. But as for that the best feature there is a group and it is the misfortune type which is not the method of conveying the necessity which makes music, but. Love is felt by all.
Gates of Heaven. Jan 13th. I do not think that we would like you to buried at the pet cemetary. Like this which approximately moves with the people of the insanity which is there. While I love the documentary, the cineaste of the document of range of vision be fixed to be: Errol Morris is this one. The best it is clumsy. Much like Grey Gardens of The Maysles, no human is a normal thing with the camera eye looking onto it.
Schizopolis. Jan 15th. The artist pays the ogre and interesting always following, is possible to drive out the fact that you observe that it cleans to leading fee with direction after. In this case, Steven Soderbergh rather than perhaps being able to imagine the forms of surrealistic daily life, and you having shown those, the movie concerning system, the ceremony and the habit of making. Some oak without hesitation we should see even with some fan of secret, that it does not do the best.
The State of Things. Jan 16th. I like when Wim Wenders how in order to appear with that moviemaking- he convinced Nicholas Ray, Roger Corman, Samuel Fuller- more complete to the circle of many conventional directors. As he has given the paycheck to those in order that he recognizes work, or to show in which rank those, it is. In any case, beautiful looker, the large movie and Paris and Texas where beautiful cinematics, little plotting, but it is pushed in between the Wings of Craving.
Arena: William Burroughs. Jan 17th. Why talk I about it when internet has all the links for us? There are no problem when you just click here and watch away in happiness: Arena documentary.
Carnivale, Season 2. Jan 17-19th. Much good than first season and dramatic. And that being cancelled quickly, although it could, you saw full particulars in order you must shake ignoring last 5 minutes exactly. I always this show's Achilles' heel is being concentrated by the quarrel of the prostitute and their families, of thing which is thought; then the heel which leaves, but I really fear in this mother her you obtained.
Steel Helmet. Jan 22nd. Samuel Fuller, man King of the b movies. Him whom it makes comes across the margin smell amount which he rubs exactly from the fixed dressing as a human, with most all movies, the fact that is loved, it did everything which can do thing: it becomes. And this the cigar passes time of the considerable quantity of badassitude which is crunched; because these are not expressed; because of the professional war movie remains it confuses. However you did not look at large red one…Now it does directly.
The Brothers Bloom. Jan 23rd. Greatness you sound everything almost. I love the Indian archipelago of the characters main. And the screw ribbon is the extravagant woman best! Very pleasant movie that I don't try to place under because of lack of reason.
The Devils. Jan 23rd. As for me it is not possible this is the person indicates to the Big Brother of reputation to be and to believe. As for me, especially after looking at this very strange answering of England to Jodorowsky, the fact that you looked at that straightly is desired. The holy mountain. Perhaps, the nun and it is outboard, but the believing from of Oliver Reed, where this locks that of my type entirely good efficiency whom I'm exposed, that can be present Dada and penetration sexually it presumes that it is surrealistic.
The Good Marriage. Jan 26th. I am like of this Rohmer guy a lot. It may been the not train actors, or the talking of thing which is seem very great dialogue, but it work for me. Sad of his funeral procession.
Witness for the Prosecution. Jan 26th.
Love in the Afternoon. Jan 28th.
Pauline at the Beach. Feb 1st.

The Story of Ricky. Feb 5th.
The White Ribbon. Feb 6th.
D.O.A.: Punk documentary. Feb 8th.
American Splendor Feb 9th.
An Englishman in New York. Feb 15th. This just a little to continue to The Government Employee Who is Exposed. It is the TV movie concerning Quentin Crisp of the back section of the homosexual person who was opened; England the homosexual love to law it converted 30s before, directly. The song of Sting is written concerning him, being at the point where the series goes away, John Hurt which replays empty that role takes this. All lines of dialogue Quentin's. As been proverb or mot of the sugar snack from one, the level bit occasionally is felt there are most certain problems: You reserves. That measles it did and stared very, it was true.

完全にきっかりこのフィルムおよびむしろボーリングの結果によって。
The Host - Jan 2nd. If in the same way the monster movie it is constituted strangely concerning stupidity. And it is not worthy of the exaggeration advertisement which perhaps 2 years before it received a little. That measles it did and watched the clean pleasure and the eye.
Fist of Fury - Jan 14th. Very for someone of enormous legend, blue three didn't obtain the fact that sufficiently almost it fights with that movie. Being strange in this one, inclination that of ol' unpleasant counter day; Japan is not as good as China. This feeling which is held in heart the bad bit. Whether or not as for me? Yes. It presumes; 90s and ' 00s hadn't when the Kung Fu movie can be to be many better, me compared to easy it is satisfied it proved. Don't bring me down, Bruce.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Jan 21st. Elizabeth Taylor is goddess not to lie. As for me many her work until now, but at exactly the gorgeousness which finally it is I'm where I am delightful it's contagion characteristic rising she, you did not look splendid actress thing. But as for this movie sledgehammer and approximately it is not delicate. Because you placed in splendid work, the shame of Taylor. Now it is the time when you say that: As for play movie and they are not; play is made in order to appeal to many of a wider audience re-and it seems that exactly is stupid in me. Whatever actors try and say.

これは死んだ金魚のような床に私を残した映画である。
Breakfast of Champions. January 20th. As for me I Vonnegut's because you read it just, you looked at this movie. With that, those that it is done it has sexual intercourse. Well health. Al baht Finney creaks that dignity that way exactly. Bruce Willis hairs backwards.
The Book of Eli. Jan 26th. I saw this of course Boy and HIs Dog in conversation between Quint and tissues. This is not that. Not movie which of I am trained to be happy.
Public Enemies. 31st Jan.
Cop Out. March 9th.
Return of the LIving Dead 2. May 2nd.
この映画はひどいの落雷を用いる全世界を殺した。
Prison Camp Girls, Jailed for Love. Jan 17th. That was the night of Saturday when I was just a little drank. Therefore appeal me. Actually bad movie, but well...bad.
From Justin to Kelly. Jan 28th.
Lawnmower Man 2. So badly it's badly. Which is expected of movie; unfortunate hanging rope falls from forest.
The Skulls. 17th April.

And this the cigar passes time of the considerable quantity of badassitude which is crunched; because these are not expressed; because of the professional war movie remains it confuses. However you did not look at large red one…Now it does directly.
The Brothers Bloom. Jan 23rd. Greatness you sound everything almost. I love the Indian archipelago of the characters main. And the screw ribbon is the extravagant woman best! Very pleasant movie that I don't try to place under because of lack of reason.
The Devils. Jan 23rd. As for me it is not possible this is the person indicates to the Big Brother of reputation to be and to believe. As for me, especially after looking at this very strange answering of England to Jodorowsky, the fact that you looked at that straightly is desired. The holy mountain. Perhaps, the nun and it is outboard, but the believing from of Oliver Reed, where this locks that of my type entirely good efficiency whom I'm exposed, that can be present Dada and penetration sexually it presumes that it is surrealistic.

The song of Sting is written concerning him, being at the point where the series goes away, John Hurt which replays empty that role takes this. All lines of dialogue Quentin's.

The Host - Jan 2nd. If in the same way the monster movie it is constituted strangely concerning stupidity. And it is not worthy of the exaggeration advertisement which perhaps 2 years before it received a little. That measles it did and watched the clean pleasure and the eye.
Fist of Fury - Jan 14th. Very for someone of enormous legend, blue three didn't obtain the fact that sufficiently almost it fights with that movie. Being strange in this one, inclination that of ol' unpleasant counter day; Japan is not as good as China. This feeling which is held in heart the bad bit. Whether or not as for me? Yes. It presumes; 90s and ' 00s hadn't when the Kung Fu movie can be to be many better, me compared to easy it is satisfied it proved. Don't bring me down, Bruce.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Jan 21st. Elizabeth Taylor is goddess not to lie. As for me many her work until now, but at exactly the gorgeousness which finally it is I'm where I am delightful it's contagion characteristic rising she, you did not look splendid actress thing. But as for this movie sledgehammer and approximately it is not delicate. Because you placed in splendid work, the shame of Taylor. Now it is the time when you say that: As for play movie and they are not; play is made in order to appeal to many of a wider audience re-and it seems that exactly is stupid in me. Whatever actors try and say.

in the name of Peven this space is..........Peven's
January-
Inglorious Basterds- 8.5, up to several viewings at this point, Tarantino's exercise in building tension, and he does it pretty well here right out of the gate. also, i see him not only reusing pieces of score from earlier films of his but actually reusing scenes...kind of. it reminds me a little of how Park Chan-wook worked his revenge trilogy, reusing pieces some pieces from movie to movie. i am looking forward to seeing if Tarantino continues this in his next film
One Crazy Summer- 6.5/10, saw this in the theatre when it came out, actually, but just last week picked it up in the $5 bin at walmart and watched it for the first time in many years. not as good as Better of Dead, which had preceded it, but an amusing diversion and Bobcat Goldthwait does his schtick here probably better than any other movie he was in. i actually watched it again with the commentary track and found it to be worth the time, seeing as how Goldthwait is one of the three guys on it, along with the director and the actor who played Booger in Revenge of the Nerds.
Tropic Thunder- 5/10, disappointing. not bad, but definitely disappointing. look, when Tom Cruise plays the funniest character in a comedy it is a sign that the rest of the movie failed to step up, imo. aside from any scenes with Cruise there weren't any that made me do more than chuckle a little. to top it off, i nominate Downey Jr for doing the worst, laziest fucking commentary i have ever heard. listen asshole,if you don't want to do the commentary then don't show up to do it, but don't do it and toally fucking mail it in, because then you are insulting me, the viewer, who paid for this dvd, you arrogant smug dick.
The International- the most boring movie with Clive Owen and people being shot to death that I have ever seen....ok, I didn't even see it all because I fell asleep about 40 minutes in....will update if i am succesfull with my next attempt...if i deem a next attempt worthwhile
District B13- some cool jumping around and punching and kicking stuff but fucking stupid as shit, really, cheap-looking and ALF, and so it comes off more like a stuntman tryout reel rather than a real movie. 3/10
District 9- great movie, really, unusual in style and concept and the little things, the way the blood splatters on the lens of the camera giving it a very organic feel to it which draws you in. doesn't follow the usual story beats you'd expect, because the perspective is so different from one we are used to in an action/adventure story. just fucking brilliant. 9.5/10
Destry Rides Again- an early Jimmy Stewart flick with Marlene Dietrich, it's the movie that serves as the template for Blazing Saddles, as well as all sorts of other westerns and "hero" movies. very watchable and it is a kick picking out all the things that have been riffed on since, one thing in particular, how Madeline Kahn really nailed her impersonation of Dietrich in Saddles. 7/10
Nobody's Fool- one of my favorite all time Paul Newman flicks. great. fucking. movie. but great in a subdued quiet kind of way. set in a small upstate NY town, Bath, and i can vouch for its authenticity, an intimate story with a small cast and scope, but yet it is about more than most movies, because it is about.......life. it is about the choices we make and how they effect those around us, and their futures, our futures, and how we can always choose to change, at least choose to try to change, no matter how late in the game. 9/10
Hancock-there are some movies that i really anticipate seeing but, if i am not able to see the opening weekend, i don't see for a long time because of all the very opinionated talk surrounding it and that just gets in the way. "Hancock" was one of those movies. i had really looked forward to it and then people just started eviscerating it when it came out. so i had held off watching it. until last night. and I really dug it. i guess i should confess i don't have anything against Will Smith, even though i couldn't stand stand his tv show. but anyway, i really enjoyed the movie, could have used a little work in the 3rd act, sure, but i actually got a kick out of the very ending, embracing the outrageous idea of a "superbeing" fully. 8/10
Gomorrah- the Italian version of City of God. depicts the bleak, brutal life of people who live where organized crime runs everything. good, but depressing. 8.25/10
Notorious- starring Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant, directed by Alfred Hitchcok....need i say more? i had seen this a few times before but it has been a couple years and it was a pleasure watching it again. Bergman is playing a woman with a questionable past in more than one respect who wants to truly change her ways and Grant is playing the worldly, weathered, and cynical government agent who falls for her even though he won't let her or himself really know it, and Claude Raines playing the wealthy german nazi-sympathizing wimpy mamma's boy who has some of the most fucked up hair of any villain i can recall. top notch classic thriller material. 8.5/10
Three Days of the Condor- starring Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, with Max von Sidow and Cliff Robertson. directed by Sydney Pollack. 70's espionage done right. rivals Godfather for darkly lit scenes, earth tones abound. i always loved this film, even when i saw it as a 12 year old. Redford's character works for the CIA, reading books, looking for ideas that might be used against national security. the office where he works is staffed by a small cadre of bookworms. and one day while Redford is out buying sandwiches for lunch, having gone out the back non-secure door, a team of assassins walks in and wipes the place out, every single person. even the old lady receptionist and even older and feebler security guard. Redford comes back to find everyone dead. and he is a loose end. drama ensues. 8.5/10
Conan the Barbarian-one of the most rewatchable movies ever. great R-rated pulp, swords and tits and ass and giant snakes...and Darth Vader doing "i am your father", only Arnie is no Luke...one of the most perfect movies in regard to achieving what it wants to be, imo. 9/10
February-
Royal Tenenbaums- have seen it at least 20+ times already before this last time, and i still didn't make it through dry eyed or without chuckling while blinking through a tear here and there. a great way to begin February, a great fucking film. 9.5/10
The Thin Man- 1934, starring William Powell and Myrna Loy
imdb synopsis-"Comedy-mystery featuring Nick and Nora Charles: a former detective and his rich, playful wife. They solve a murder case mostly for the fun of it"
ok, this is a cool little flick, and i have no doubt was the inspiration for the tv series "Hart to Hart", though the tv show is definitely a poor man's version...so to speak. a lot of witty banter between the leads as they oh so casually become involved in and eventually solve a murder mystery. everything is handled with a fairly light touch, never do we really feel our protagonists are in real danger, and yet it is still engaging as we watch the always-with-a-drink-in-his-hand Nick piece together the puzzle of just who killed who while his wife, Nora, does her best watching his back and making witticisms at his expense simultaneously. i found it very watchable, a fun lighthearted sleuthing romp and it is no surprise that they made a series of movies with these two characters doing the same schtick and all with "Thin Man" in the title. who says that sequels capitalizing on success are a recent development in movies... 7/10
"Le Samurai", 1967, starring Alain Delon, directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, written by Melville and Georges Pellegrin, adapted from but not credited from "The Ronin" by Joan McLeod
THIS is what quality film is about. second time i have seen this film and it was even better this time. for starters, there is no wasted dialogue, the antithesis of a Tarantino flick. in fact, the whole film is a clinic in austere film-making. the first line of dialogue isn't even spoken until at least 10 minutes into the film, for instance. we are shown rather than told, the film gives the audience credit for being intelligent enough to understand what we are seeing without it being spelled out for us at every step. the pacing is deliberate but moves the story along in a way that keeps your attention nonetheless. Delon is about as cool as an anti-hero gets, imo, and he looks sharp as shit throughout the film. fucking style, man. this film is a MUST see for anyone who considers themselves a real film-lover, imo. just a great movie top to bottom. 9.5/10
"Curse of the Golden Flower", starring Chow Yun studly and Li Gong, directed by Yimou Zhang 2007
you ever hear about a movie being a "feast for the eyes"? that phrase was created for films like this. gorgeous sets and wardrobe. studly and Gong are very strong in their respective roles, the cold and cruel Emperor and the unfaithful devious Empress. there is intrigue, action, romance, incest, betrayal, brother killing brother, father killing son, attempted suicide, suicide, more cleavage than i can remember seeing in a movie in a long time, i mean, this film has it ALL. 8.5/10

I got a really cool Alfred Hitchcock box set for Christmas, so one of the things I'm going to try and do this year is get through them all (plus the ones NOT in the box set that I own)

SHOWGIRLS - Look past the tits, the asses, the neon, and the bad acting and you have what is a typically dark Verhoveen film about the nature of man. How we will lie chat and screw people over to get to the top, only to find that there is someone there that will screw you over just as quick. The more things change, the more they remain the same. An Offical OLEG Movie Club Selection (VS Round)
* THE NEW WOLRD - Terrance "Motherfucking" Malick. I do wish they had left out the Mother Earth stuff, as well as the love story of Smith and Pocahontas and focus more on the building of Jamestown itself. But it's like perfect material for Malick's POV. A brilliant film (and I love that portions of Horner's score is cut in favor of classical pieces). I forgot that Bale is in this movie.

11th:
JACKIE BROWN - Quinty's most mature film. A movie that gets better with age.
MONSTERS VS ALIENS - I hadn't seen this since it was out in theaters. Not as good as i remembered, but not bad either. Some nice homages and some jokes that just don't work.
THE HUSTLER - Pure perfection. An Oleg Movie Club Selection (VS Round)
*THE CINCINNATI KID - A good movie, but doesn't reach the levels of greatness as The Hustler does. An Oleg Movie Club Selection (VS round)
12th:

16th:
*SOMETHING, SOMETHING, SOMETHING DARKSIDE - I'm not a big Family Guy fan, but I really enjoyed this.
19th:
HAMLET (1998) - Brangah's ultrafaithful adaptation that is just fantastic despite some weird casting choices. An OLEG Movie Club Selection (VS round)
20th:
LAST MAN STANDING - Just a flat out great Walter Hill flick that tends to get forgotten. Probitation era Bruce tears it up. Plus Bruce Dern and Christopher Walken. I want to do a double feature with this and DePalma's UNTOUCHABLES
21st:
22nd
MATINAEE - Followed a movie about nucular Cold War parnoia in the 80s with a nucular Cold War paranoia movie set in the 60s. Only this one is a lot better. I want to see a movie in Atomio-vision

BLOO'S REVIEWS OF MOVIES FROM THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2010
JANUARY
1st:
- *MOON-I really enjoyed this Sam Rockwell vechile, I think if I would have seen it a day or two earlier it might have bumped District 9 out of my number one spot. Just a damn good movie.
*AVATAR-I compared this movie to a tapestry in my big review in the Avatar thread. If you look closely, you'll see the strings and notice the little things, if you sit back and look at the whole thing you see a beautiful story unfolding before your eyes
2nd:
- *FUNNY PEOPLE-Adam Sandler does the best acting of his carrer and Seth Rogan compliments him well. Unfourtantly the movie runs at least a half hour too long and that's mostly the segment in San Fransico with Leslie Bibb. Cut most of that out and you'd have a really great film.
*CRIMSON RIVERS-a tightly paced, full on actionner of French Cinema, with some great performances from Vincent Cassel and Jean Reno and some cool creepy atmosphere. An Offical OLEG Movie Club Selection (FRENCH round)
3rd:
- *BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF-badass and An Offical OLEG Movie Club Selection (FRENCH round)
5th:
- *BELLE DU JOUR-Martin Scorsese presents this 1965 French classic. I couldn't get into it but it had some good acting. An Offical OLEG Movie Club Selection (FRENCH ROUND)
*LE SAMOURAI-this 1967 French noir classic is badass and a keeper. I don't know if it started the "gangster/assassin the follows the rules of the samauri" genre or not, but it heavily influenced lots of modern takes on the theme. An Official OLEG Movie Club Selection (FRENCH round)
6th:
- *UP IN THE AIR-Jason Reitman's 3rd feature reminded me personally of Judd Apatow's 3rd feature (which I saw earlier this week) FUNNY PEOPLE. a series of vignettes following around a fairly unlikeable person contemplating his life as he mentors a younger person and pursues love unsuccessfully. And both feature a slow down in about the middle of the 3rd act, only to pick back up once the lead gets dumped. They both feature some great cameos. UP IN THE AIR gets props for Sam Elliott, JK Simmons, Danny McBride, Melanie Lynskey, Zach Galifianakis and Jason Bateman and for a naked Vera Farmiga. A good movie, but I don't think it's Oscar buzz worthy.
7th:
- *BLACK DYNAMITE-HELL YES! This movie is great
*WHIP IT- a sweet cute little sports movie. Predictable, but fun. Surprised the hell out of me how much I liked it
8th
- SABOTEUR- A tight thriller from the Master, kicks off my examination of Hitchcock's movies. I saw this one about 3 weeks ago at work, but this was the first chance to sit down and watch it from beginning to end. Nazis and freaks and a cross country trip and a nice conclusion at the Statue of Liberty that echos North by Northwest
*SHADOW OF A DOUBT-my film education into Hitchcock continued with this one reportedly Hitchcock's favorite, as well as being praised by David Mamet. I can see why, this is a nice tight thriller with some nice touches of humor (like the father and his friend and always talking how they could kill someone). Thorton Wilder handled the script. It's just a fantastic little movie.
10th:
- * MONSTER-IN-LAW- this is what happens when I let my sister and mom pick out a movie. It wasn't horrible, I laughed (mostly at Wanda Sykes and Will Arnett) but it wasn't anything to write home about.
12th:
- INTO THE WOODS (Live on Stage)-This may be my favorite musical by Sondheim. And Bernedette Peters is hot as HELL! Just a really good production
*OT: OUR TOWN- a documentary detailing a Compton High School doing a production of Our Town, the first play done in this school in 20 years. The structure of this is interspersed with footage of the 1977 TV version with Hal Holbrook. Just a really cool documentary. If they ever did a feature version, Michelle Rodriquez needs to be cast as the main teacher.
13th:
- REDBELT-goddamn this movie gets better every time I see it
14th:
- *THE CAR-Jaws on wheels. A Lot of fun with James Brolin sporting an awesome 70's 'stashe--Offical Oleg Movie Club Selection (VS round)
CHRISTINE-probably my favorite of the King adaptions, a damn good movie. Carpenter at the top of his game--Official Oleg Movie Club Selction (VS round)
17th:
- *THE GAMERS: DORKNESS RISING-a silly stupid movie that looks and is cheap. But as a D&D gamer I had a lot of fun with this. NOT recommended to anyone that has never played D&d and even then I say watch it only for the D&D jokes.
18th:
- SUMMER CATCH-a movie full of young actors I don't like (Freddie Prinze Jr, Matthew Lillard, Jessica Biel, Wilmer Valderama) and vetern actors I do like (Fred Ward, Brian Dennehy, John C McGinley, an uncredited Beverly DeAngelo) that just sucks. It was on TV while at work.
19th:
- THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY-a great movie. I know there was a remake years ago in the works with Mike Myers I believe. So glad it never got off the ground. This movie may be sheer perfection. Danny Kaye proves what a great actor he is in this movie.
- *BIG FAN-disturbing, slightly deranged, and yet compelling and at times a bit close to home. Patton Oswalt again proves he is more then just a great comedian and supporting work was great too. And Micheal Rapport was fantastic in a very small part. I'm not sure if I buy the ending, would someone really get a year in lock up for paintballing someone? still a great movie
*THE EDUCATION OF CHARLIE BANKS-it didn't excite me or engross me but it wasn't bad. Burst does do a pretty good job directing I have to say. The story though just didn't grab me.
*ACROSS THE UNIVERSE- not bad, not great. Julie Taymor is always interesting to watch though
21st:
- LETHAL WEAPON-man Donner was at the top of his game during this movie. Great stuff. An Oleg Movie Club Selection (VS Round)
DIE HARD-this movie never gets old. An Oleg Movie Club Selection (VS Round)
23rd:
- *Brødre-this was good but I can't say I was overly impressed or feel the need to watch this again (though I will as I plan on watching the American remake). The story was a bit overly dramatic, and despite being almost 2 hours long, I didn't feel it gave time to breath. I was also turned off by director Susanna Bier use of hand held camera work and extreme close ups. And it may have been Netflix's Watch Instantly feature, I'm not sure, but it seemed like there were some weird edits, almost jump cuts or Avid farts, espically at the beginning and during the confrontation with the police. The performances were rock solid and fantastic though.
FIGHT CLUB-still a work of genius, but not everything works for me even after the twist. I'm thinking of the scene where Norton is locking the door while Pitt and his cronies drag the police commissioner into the bathroom to cut off his balls. Was the door ever locked and if so how did he manage that? Great movie though still.
24th:
- BLAZING SADDLES-sure it was edited for TV on AMC. But it's still one of the funniest movies ever made.
LETHAL WEAPON 2- easily one of the GREATEST...ACTION...MOVIES...EVER...MADE
26th:
- *SEMI-PRO-sue me, I laughed.
*MIAMI BLUES-not a bad movie, but not a great movie. Some movies I get from Netflix I like to keep several days, watch again, savor in their awesomness. This one went back in the mail tonight after watching it. It has some good stuff, most notably Alec Baldwin kicking ass (and looking like Stephen Baldwin), then getting his fingers cut off with a fucking machete, also Jennifer Jason Leigh's tits make quite a few apperances and they are wonderful. Fred Ward kicks ass too. Ultimately though the story feels like someone was trying to do a riff on Elmore Leonard.
27th:
- THE SPIRIT-I know this movie fails on just about every level, but I love the sheer balls out craziness of it. I want the drugs Miller was on while making this.
*ADVENTURELAND-I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. Don't really have anything else to add, but I enjoyed it.
28th:
- *FOOL'S GOLD-this was on HBO and I was bored at work. It was what it was. I will admit there were parts where I laughed, but I'm easily amused.
*JULIE & JULIA-This wasn't a bad little flick. Amy Adams was cute, and Meryl Streep knocked it out of the park. I picked up the book and am not finding it as enjoying as the book. The real Julie Powell comes across kind of bitchy, Amy Adams made her much more likeable.
30th:
- ROPE-For a long time I called this my favorite of Hitch's movies. Just a fantastic movie. But I don't know if I'd ll this my favorite. Earlier this month, I really fell in love with Shadow Of A Doubt. But this is still one of my favorites. Obviously this is part of my film education of the movies of Alfred Hitchcock, I have a feeling that by the time this is done, I'm going to love ALL of Hitch's movies.
*REAR WINDOW-A tight, fantastic little thriller.
31st:
- ZOMBIELAND-I got this one in right at the buzzer. I loved it in the theaters (not as good as Shaun and really shouldn't be compared to it), this one works I think a little bit better on eh small screen. The cameo though, not as funny I don't think when you know it's coming.
FEBUARY
1st:
- THE STRAIGHT STORY-one of my favorite Lynch movies. But it's very strange seeing the Disney logo in front of a David Lynch movie. But it's an incrediable piece of filmmaking.
3rd:
- *PLANET HULK- Another pretty solid feature from Marvel Animation
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PERAL- You know I kind of forget how fun this movie is.
4th:
- PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST
7th:
- FLASHDANCE
SHOWGIRLS - Look past the tits, the asses, the neon, and the bad acting and you have what is a typically dark Verhoveen film about the nature of man. How we will lie chat and screw people over to get to the top, only to find that there is someone there that will screw you over just as quick. The more things change, the more they remain the same. An Offical OLEG Movie Club Selection (VS Round)
* THE NEW WOLRD - Terrance "Motherfucking" Malick. I do wish they had left out the Mother Earth stuff, as well as the love story of Smith and Pocahontas and focus more on the building of Jamestown itself. But it's like perfect material for Malick's POV. A brilliant film (and I love that portions of Horner's score is cut in favor of classical pieces). I forgot that Bale is in this movie.
8th:
- * THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY - This is a fun little comedy and totally unexpected from Alfred Hitchcock. And features some really great performances from Shirley McClaine, John Forsthye, and features a really young Jerry Mathers.
10th:
- ARMAGEDDON
11th:
- OUT OF SIGHT
JACKIE BROWN - Quinty's most mature film. A movie that gets better with age.
MONSTERS VS ALIENS - I hadn't seen this since it was out in theaters. Not as good as i remembered, but not bad either. Some nice homages and some jokes that just don't work.
THE HUSTLER - Pure perfection. An Oleg Movie Club Selection (VS Round)
*THE CINCINNATI KID - A good movie, but doesn't reach the levels of greatness as The Hustler does. An Oleg Movie Club Selection (VS round)
12th:
- *THE LARAMIE PROJECT - About a year ago, I read the play at a friend's suggestion and loved it. It finally popped up on my Netflix que unexpectedly and I have to say it's just as good as the play. It really moved this hardened Republican
My only complaint is that the star studded cast distracted me at times (i.e. "oh look it Laura Linny" "it's Peter Fonda" "it's Richard Alpert" "fuck it's Ben!" "Amy Madigan" "Faraday", etc)14th:
- THE HOLIDAY
16th:
- *JUSTICE LEAGUE:CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS
*SOMETHING, SOMETHING, SOMETHING DARKSIDE - I'm not a big Family Guy fan, but I really enjoyed this.
19th:
- HAMLET (1990)
HAMLET (1998) - Brangah's ultrafaithful adaptation that is just fantastic despite some weird casting choices. An OLEG Movie Club Selection (VS round)
20th:
- WATCHMEN (theatrical cut)
LAST MAN STANDING - Just a flat out great Walter Hill flick that tends to get forgotten. Probitation era Bruce tears it up. Plus Bruce Dern and Christopher Walken. I want to do a double feature with this and DePalma's UNTOUCHABLES
21st:
- *THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (1934)
22nd
- WATCHMEN
MATINAEE - Followed a movie about nucular Cold War parnoia in the 80s with a nucular Cold War paranoia movie set in the 60s. Only this one is a lot better. I want to see a movie in Atomio-vision
25th:
- THE DIRTY DOZEN
26th:
- * COP-OUT - Sorry Kev, probably your worst movie. I laughed, yes, but the end result is weak.
*SHUTTER ISLAND - An excellent flick from Scorcese. A fantatic performance from DiCaprio. Really enjoyed this movie, on the edge of my seat.
MARCH
1st:
- *EDGE OF DARKNESS - Not a great movie, but I enjoyed it. Part thriller, part detective story, part revenge flick. Mel was very good and it was nice to see him on the screen again
5th:
- ZACH AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO - I like this movie but I don't find it as funny after multiple viewings.
IMAGINATIONLAND - I hadn't seen this in forever and got a bug up my ass to watch it. Still one of the funniest things South Park has done. Not quite up there with BIGGER, LONGER, UNCUT but still pretty enjoyable.
6th:
- JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK - This Kevin Smith movie, though, I still laugh a lot at. I love Will Ferrell in it and wish he'd do another movie with Smith.
7th:
- 3:10 TO YUMA - There's a lot I like about this. I love the acting. Bale, Crow, Fonda, Foster, Tyduck, Lerman, even Gretchen Mol in a small part are fantastic. I like about 90% even 95% of the story but there are parts I really don't like. The whole cut through the mountains scene with Luke Wilson could have been and should have been cut. And I'm not sure I buy the end when Crowe kills his crew
*A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE - I really enjoyed this movie. Viggo was great, Harris was great, I thought Hurt was a little over the top, but overall a good flick.
10th:
- MATINEE - This has been on HBO quite a bit lately, and it makes me happy. I just love this movie. I think it's one of Joe Dante's strongest movies and it's the movie I point to that made me a movie geek.
* COUPLES RETREAT - Not a bad movie from long time producer/first time director Peter Billingsly. It's not a comedy that's going to shake up the world and is pretty generic, but I did laugh thanks to a strong cast. And Jean Reno as a sex guru/Steven Segal type was a hoot. I want a whole movie about him.
13th:
- A TIME TO KILL - "ES THEY DESERVED TO DIE AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL" makes this movie. Did a little research on it during the movie, I want to see the alt universe versions with Val Kilmer and RDJ in the Matt Mcoughny roles.
17th
- DR HORRIBLE'S SING-A-LONG BLOG - saw this was on Netflix watch instantly and couldn't resist. I love it so much.
21st
- *GIRL INTERRUPTED - A good movie but not a great move. Angelina shows even then she is a great actress who can easily fall into ever acting.
25th
- *SNATCH - Man I enjoyed the hell out of this.
*HAMLET 2 - enjoyed the hell out of this as well
THE PROMOTION - saw this last year and liked it, I think I liked it a little more my 2nd time around.
* THE KING OF KONG - fascinating documentary, might be one of the best movies I've seen all month.
28th
- *TIM BURTON'S ALICE IN WONDERLAND - I don't know if I liked this or not. It was a visual treat, but the story seemed lacking in a lot of spots. Some really good acting and some that wasn't so good. Like I said, I'm fairly indifferent towards it.
MY COUSIN VINNY - always fun
APRIL
2nd
- *HOT TUB TIME MACHINE - This was lots of goofy fun. I enjoyed it.
5th
- *CLASH OF THE TITANS - I enjoyed the acting and the effects but man was the story lacking. REALLY lacking. Another draft or two and some thought behind things and it might have been good. I don't blame Lerriter, or Nesson, and Worthington, but man do I blame the writers. Gemma Atherton was nice to look at though
16th
- *BAT LEUTINUENT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS - bat shit crazy fun. My only complaint was not enough Val Kilmer
18th
- *HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON - So much better then the trailers and title suggests it to be
JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK - This movie makes me laugh, it shouldn't but it does.
CLERKS 2 - A mindless, funny distraction while at friends' house
19th
- ZACH AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO - Shoot me, I like Seth Rogan and Kevin Smith and I think they work well together.
MALLRATS - A movie that has it's moments of funny
MAY
2nd
- THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN - Hadn't watched this in a while and forgot how I enjoyed it
- WOLVERINE-A year later and this movie I think has gotten worse, fuck this movie sucks
X-MEN-10 years later and it's still pretty fucking good
- IRON MAN 2-I liked it quite a bit. Flawed yes, but enjoyable. Downy and Rourke made it for me.
- OBSERVE AND REPORT- I should mark this as something new I've watched, but I'm not. I've tried getting through this about 8 different times and there's been a lot of stop and then start again. I've finally made it through it, and you know what, I actually enjoyed this. I had friends who hated this and let me know in no uncertain terms how much they hated this. So maybe it was extremly lowered expectations, but I really enjoyed this. It worked for me.
- *TRIPPING THE RIFT:THE MOVIE-calling this "the movie" is using the word movie pretty loosely. If you thought the Futurama or Family Guy "movies" didn't work because they strung together episodes, then this REALLY doesn't work as the episodes are strung together by the loosest of plots.
- *CEMETERY MAN-Damn this a weird ass movie. I LIKED it but don't know if I'll ever watch it again
- ROLE MODELS
- THE ROCKETEER- Still the most faithful comic to film translation I've ever seen (with the minor substations of using Locke as Hughes instead of Doc Sampson and changing Betty (i.e. Bettie Paige) to Jenny)
- *THE PASSENGER- crap

And the situations they run into are also pretty standard teen comedy fare. So don't expect any surprises. But I was entertained. It's not nearly as good as, let's say "Road Trip", but it was way more watchable than expected. (And Kristen Bell was hotter than ever! She should permanently change from blonde to brunet.)

Now, that I finished my re-visitation of Smith's filmography ("Zack & Miri" isn't out on DVD over here till March or so), I also wanna talk about something that I noticed. Many people give Smith shit for being "one note", but I seriously have to say that they are wrong. All fanboy love aside for a few moments, I really MUST say that each of his movies feels completely different than the rest of his work. (I mean as different as films from a director who has a recognizable style can be.) He's not re-inventing himself with every movie, but he seriously tries to not make the same movie twice, although most of them are all connected with each other. Although he has some of his trademarks in every movie, it's impossible to say: "Watch one of his movies and you know all of them." He's maybe not Mr Versatility, but he's a more capable filmmaker than many people (want to) think he is.

It's that 4 hrs Documentary about the whole series. Not bad, but kinda disappointing, because technically it's just a bunch of interviews, where nobody has anything really new to say. It IS pretty interesting though, like when everybody who was involved in part 2 talks about how they didn't realize its gayness when they were shooting it and the "Freddy Vs Jason" interviews have a seriously hilarious and unexpected cameo. I also love how they interview everybody they could find (Like "Girl #9"), although it's frustrating how the people who became famous (Depp, Arquette, Darabont...) didn't have the time or the will to participate in this project. At least they interview every single director, from Craven to Yu. Like I said, it doesn't add anything new but if you are a fan, you might like it.

The first 40 minutes of this movie are mybe not the most original, but nonetheless AWESOME! Since "The Descent" I haven't felt so claustrophobic, just from watching someone crawling through small spaces. But as soon as the Space Orks appear, it becomes an even less original, but still very good starship horror movie, with some dots of a crazy ass psychological thriller. My biggest problem with it might be the visual side of it. The whole movie is so dark and some scenes are so horribly edited, that I had more than once no idea what just happened. But apart from that, I approve.

Trying to fill some gaps in my movie knowledge by watching classic films of my second last favorite movie genre, starting with "High Noon". A very good movie with a damn fine cast (Larry Talbot!!!)! The biggest surprise is maybe that it doesn't get boring, although it's technically only about a man who walks from house to house and asks his friends and neighbours to help him out. But you just feel the sadness and anger with every rejection he gets. But the movie also has a surprisingly gripping payoff, which is not the saccharine filled, all american sweet apple pie we-changed-our-minds-and-stand-by-your-side happy ending that I expected. Okay, it ends pretty well, but y'know, the betrayal was still there and how the Sherrif and his wife just leave without looking back, says a lot.

But the movie also has a surprisingly gripping payoff, which is not the saccharine filled, all american sweet apple pie we-changed-our-minds-and-stand-by-your-side happy ending that I expected. Okay, it ends pretty well, but y'know, the betrayal was still there and how the Sherrif and his wife just leave without looking back, says a lot.

Maui's Magnificent Movie Journal for 2010
January
(500) Days of Summer 3/5
Los Abrazos Rotos (Broken Embraces) 3/5
Tenten (Adrift in Tokyo) 5/5 Absolutely loved this film, it's brilliant, funny and quirky. I'll definitely be seeking out more Satoshi Miki films.
An Education 4/5 Carey Mulligan delivers one of the best performances of 2009. What a talent she is.
Ddongpari (Breathless) 5/5 Thanks SFG, awesome recommendation and awe-inspiring work by director/actor Yang Ik-Joon.
The Lovely Bones 2/5 Starts off with great promise then spends way too much time in Suzie's trippy 'in between' world. Tucci is amazing in this as is the young actress (Saoirse Ronan) who plays Suzie Salmon.
Whip It 3/5 Kudos to Page. She was the glue for this movie. Just not impressed with the overall execution of this coming of age flick.
Flickan som lekte med elden (The Girl Who Played with Fire) 2/5 Not as good as the 1st film. Acting seemed really stiff throughout.
L'instinct de mort (Mesrine, Killer Instinct) 4/5 Vincent Cassel deserves an award for his portrayal of Mesrine. Brilliant.
L'ennemi public n°1 (Mesrine, Public Enemy No 1) 4/5
Brothers 4/5 Didn't know what to expect from this film, but it really blew me away. Acting was superb, an emotionally charged film.
Dorian Gray 2.5/5 Tim Burton should have directed this film. Solid performances by Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. The film was faithful to Wilde's Faustian themes however they altered many parts of the story - me no likey. The portrait coming to life.....not how I pictured it in the book.
It's Complicated 2/5 I'm going to rename this to It's Crapplicated.
Fantastic Mr. Fox 5/5 How many times do we see Ned's helicopter? I counted 3x. Love this movie.
A Serious Man 5/5 Coen Brothers perfection.
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging 3.5/5 From the dude that brought us Bend it like Beckham. I rather enjoyed this coming of age flick.
Un Prophete (aka A Prophet) 5/5 WOW! I'd be interested to hear some of your thoughts on the deer sequence. After all the movie is called A Prophet and he does spend 40 days and 40 nights in the hole. Just loved how this guy started off so young and naive then basically became the kingpin of the prison, networking with the various groups inside/outside of the prison. The film was aces!
Das weisse Band (The White RIbbon) 5/5 Repeat viewing. Film is brilliant, nuff said.
Fish Tank 3/5 It was OK, not great. Fassbender and Jarvis are really good in this however alot of predictability in the story with equal doses of cheese.
Ai no mukidashi (aka Love Exposure) 5/5 4 hours of pure craziness, I loved it. Pretty darn funny too.
Yes Man 2.5/5 The movie has it's moments like when Zooey Deschanel & Von Iva (in their band Munchausen by Proxy) peform Sweet Ballad otherwise just not that funny.
Sherlock Holmes 2.5/5 Meh.
Mean Girls 4/5 What can I say, this movie is just a whole lotta fun and incredibly silly. Repeat viewing, I own the DVD.
Horton Hears a Who 3.5/5 Some crisp animation and a well captured Who'ville vibe from Blue Sky. Cute, funny and great voice casting.
February
The Glass House 2.5/5
Havoc 3/5 Anne Hathaway did drugs better in Rachel Getting Married.
Precious 3/5
The Secret of Kells 5/5
Amores Perros 4/5
Mary and Max 5/5 A very touching film. The dark tone of the movie is conveyed with a very dull (neutral) colour palette but it's highly effective. This film had me choked up at the end.
Pontypool 4/5
The Box 2/5
Hex (Season 1) 4/5 Love this show. Onto season 2 now.
March

Ajami 4/5
The Last Station 4/5
Happy Together 4/5
Being There 5/5
Percy Jackson and the Olympians 2/5
The Time Traveler's Wife 2/5
Lolita (1997) 3.5/5 A more faithful adaptation to Nabokov's tale then Kubrick's 1962 version. Irons was incredible, Swan was the perfect nymphette, and Melanie Griffith was just extremely bad.
The Sweet Hereafter 4/5
Exotica 4/5

I'm going through a Hitchcock collection I got for Christmas, plus some Hitchcock DVDs I've had for awhile.
so I have the original and the remake of THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
should I watch them back to back or take a break? Thoughts, suggestions, dares?

I vote for back-to-back. Easier to compare the remake when the original is still so fresh in your head.

I've seen both and the second is far superior. So watch it first and you will enjoy it. Then get drunk and watch the original. It's good but not nearly as good as the remake. Drink well.

DerLanghaarige, I agree with you about Jersey Girl. It got A LOT of flack when it was released, but I really think it's good. In fact, I think you could make a convincing argument that it's Smith's best film. It's Affleck's best performance, I think. And it's certainly Carlin's best. After watching it, I thought that it was a shame that he wasn't utilized more in films.
If there's anyone out there that hasn't watched it because you heard the bad buzz, give it a try. I think it has the most consistent tone, and it the least "up its own ass" of all of Smith's work.

Not sure if it's really THE best film of him. I think what kills it, is that it's a little bit too conventional for this genre, especially the part at the end, when Affleck shows up in the last minute to take place in his daughter's school play. Though it's certainly MUCH better and original than 99% of all other RomComs outthere and I recommend this movie AGAIN to everybody here. Seriously folks, Bennifer was years ago. Get over it and enjoy this wonderful, little movie.

I gotta agree with you both, it really is a good "mature" film (I mean that being it's a very grown up film not a dirty film) I think working in the constrains of PG-13 helped him

It was originally rated R and only got its PG 13 on appeal (Rightfully so. I would even give it a PG. It's rated "6" over here.)

I thought they both suffered a bit from reality sucks syndrome, where a movie that', at least partly based on reality, get's a bit confusing and uneven, with characters not being properly introduced or suddenly dropping out (see also Baader Meinhof Komplex). It surely doesn't help that everyone is always on the run, wearing 37 different hairdos and beards (again see Baader Meinhof). But yeah Cassel is great
edit- and I just now recognized your AV

I don't know, but they worked with Smith more than just once before and I can imagine that they don't expect from him something lesser than R. (I'm just guessing here of course.)

Huh?! Phoning in a commentary is either a) pointlessly describing the scene the viewer is watching, as if they imagine that only blind film fans listen to commentaries (i.e. Michael Mann), or b) barely saying anything at all (i.e. 85% of commentaries). Downey did neither. His commentary w/ Stiller and Black was arguably funnier than the movie itself. I especially loved how he turned up the Albert Hallisms whenever Stiller tried to get all serious and directory; the latter had to just give up and ride Downey's inspired trip after a while. If you didn't find the joke funny, that's fair enough, but RDJ more than delivered on that "Man, I don't drop character 'till I done the DVD commentary" line.
Anyway, I'll start up my journal just as soon as I actually watch my first movie of the year...

Alright...I'm committed to doing this this year.
Only first time viewings, Theater viewings in BOLD
BAYOUWOLF'S MOVIE JOURNAL v2.0
January
Avatar (in IMAX) / Set aside your preconceived notions and check your senses at the door. This is a fun ride. (9.5/10)
Alien Apocalypse / Even for a Bruce Campbell flick, this is dried shit on a shitty stick that's made out of made of shit (2/10)
Paranormal Activity / Great idea, good film, poor believability...Who in their right mind taunts a demonic spirit? (6/10)
A Perfect Getaway / Really piss poor film. Another missed opportunity for a great thriller that falls flat over and over again (4/10)
Jennifers Body / In the hands of a better director, this could have been a great film...as it stands (7/10)
The Lovely Bones / Pretty, surreal, and drug out far to long in all the wrong places. (6.5/10)
The Book of Eli / Half-assed storytelling that falls completely apart in the final act. (3/10)
Legion / You've seen this film before. Actually, you've seen the 20 films this blatantly steals from numerous times before (4/10)
February
The Blind Side / I had no reservations about how this would be going in...Turns out its a damn fine bit of film (8.5/10)
The Wolfman / Not quite true to the source material, but it's got enough to still consider it a decent werewolf flick (7.5/10)
Crazy Heart / Jeff Bridges turns in a great performance as an aging singer dealing with the demons he's created for himself (8.5/10)
Ghost Town / Ricky Gervais is a funny guy and Greg Kinnear isn't bad, but this is a by the numbers supernatural comedy (6/10)
Shutter Island / A good suspense/thriller story. Quality film making reminiscent of the golden age of Hollywood (8/10)
Cop Out / Not good, but not all bad. Definitely better than a golf shoe to the eye. (4.5/10)
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / What a bunch of pretentious asswipery. Tim Burton shouldn't ever be allowed to "Re-imagine" another film. (3/10)
Powder Blue / Not even the (very brief) topless scenes by Jessica Beil could make me watch this again. (2/10...Extra point added for said topless scenes)
March
Green Zone / Not a bad commentary on the search for WMD's in Iraq. Even if it looked like someone let Michael J. Fox film it... (7/10)
Hot Tub Time Machine / Watching this I felt like PeeWee Herman in the movies...IE...I totally nostalgiasmed in my theater seat...(7/10)
April
Clash Of The Titans (2010) / Horrible...It just barely beats out Alice In Wonderland in this years race to "reimagine" older films...(3.5/10)
The Runaways / Solid flick, but revisionist history at it's best. (and who knew Bella actually had some acting chops?) (8/10)
Kick Ass / It's too soon to call it Summer Popcorn Movie Fare, but that's exactly what it is. Not a perfect film, but loads of fun...(7.5/10)
Moon / Sam Rockwell as himself and himself. In space. With Kevin Spacey as Robot. What's not to like? (9/10)
Date Night / Carell and Fey have chemistry galore, too bad the director kept them muzzled 90% of the time. (7/10)
The Losers / A summer action flick released in the spring. Which kinda works considering it wouldn't be a very good summer action flick. (6.5/10)
How to train Your Dragon / Wow. I'd given up hope on Dreamworks making me feel like Pixar does with it's storytelling. I'm glad I gave them another chance (9/10)
MAY
Bitch Slap / I dug the "sexploitation" of it all, even if it was cheesy as hell. (6.5/10)
Iron Man 2 / Even though I dug most of it, it's still not nearly as good as the first one. Typical middle movie syndrome. (7/10)
The King of Kong / Documentary's are always very interesting or very boring to me. This one was the former. Props to the music dept for using "Your the Best, AROUND!" appropriately. (7/10)
Extract / A decent little "indie-ish" flick with some hard to swallow ingredients. Jason Bateman continues to be the guy I hope to become one day (6.5/10)
JUNE
Prince Of Persia: The Sands of Time / Way too long and far too many things going on at the last minute in every action scene. (6/10)
Get him to the Greek / If they'd have just stuck to the humor and left the "relationship" angle out of this, I would have liked it a whole lot more. (7/10)
Jonah Hex / While Josh Brolin brings the broody character to life, everything else about the film sucks it all dry again. (5.5/10)
Toy Story 3 / The animation is top notch, and the storyline is the darkest one yet. It's a fitting end to the wonderful trilogy. (9/10)
The A Team / 80's cheese brought into the new millennium. And I likes me some cheese... (8.5)
JULY
Predators / Excellent follow up to the original. It honors the source material without stealing from it. (7.5/10)
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs / Wow...I never I would have thought I would have enjoyed this flick as much as I did. Good stuff. (7.5/10)
Inception / Wow. Most excellent. Phenomenal. Outstanding. See it twice. (9.5/10)
The Sorcerers Apprentice / Much like Spiderman 3, I didn't need to see it, but I'm no worse for having seen it. (5/10)
AUGUST
Dinner For Schmucks / This flick just never quite clicked the way I expected it to. It had it's moments, but not nearly enough. (6/10)
Salt / Not a bad little action thriller, but predictable from about the end of the first act. (6/10)
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World / True to the GN. And that's more than enough. (9/10)
The Expendables / Well...It's an action flick with a shit ton of action stars. And shit blows up. A lot. (7.5/10)
Piranha 3D / Over the top gore and some incredible breasts. First 5 minutes were worth the price of admission (6.5/10)
The Time Travelers Wife / Not bad for a chick flick. I really dug the effect of him "going", even if I had to endure his bare ass constantly. (7/10)
SEPTEMBER
Machete / Bayou loved it. Bayou don't need to put no more of a review up. (8/10)
Resident Evil Afterlife 3D / The title has more substance than the film. (5/10)
The Square / A decent little foreign thriller. Although the moral of the story wasn't very clear. (6/10)
Daybreakers / Had they ended it at the OBVIOUS open-ending, it would have been loads better... (5/10)
The Fourth Kind / I know what the director was trying to do...but he failed at almost every turn. Milla is still hot... (4/10)
October
High kick girl / The more appropriate title for this crapfest would be "On the floor, weeping girl". (2/10)
The Town / Ben Affleck does his best work with BeanTown in the background. Kudos sir. (9/10)
Let Me In / The original was better, but this was still pretty damn good (crappy CGI not withstanding)...(8.5/10)
Jack Ass 3D / It was what it was. Nearly made me puke twice, so it gets a bit better marks...(5/10)
RED / Holy crappola on a stick, was this a fun little flick. Not great, but loads of fun, none the less. (7/10)
House on Haunted Hill (1959) w/ Riff Trax / Now this is what I'm talking about. MST3K, I miss you! (9/10)
Survival of the Dead / Worst. Romero. Flick. EVAR. (2/10)
November
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus / I can't say enough good things about this film. Heath Ledger, you left us way too soon. (9.5/10)
Gamer / If it wasn't for the excessive violence, nudity, and Terry Crews, this would have been unwatchable (4/10)
2012 / Not even a wacky Woody Harrelson character could save this one. (3/10)
Tokyo Gore Police / I don't know what to say about this one...I kinda liked it, and I kinda loathed it. (5/10)
Tank / It was cool seeing the places where I used to live. The story was weaksauce though. (6/10)
The Human Centipede: First Sequence / This wasn't horror, or thriller, or torture pr0n, or anything. Well it was one thing...Teh Suxxorz. (2/10)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows / I don't think it's fair to rate this till its done...But it's looking very good so far. (TBD)
The Good, The Bad, The Weird / Another gem I seemed to have missed back when it came out. Very, VERY good. (8/10)
Pandorum / It's like Event Horizon, only worse. (3/10)
December
Ip Man / A wonderful period film with Kung Fu...Up until the end of the movie, I had no idea this was based on a true story. Fantastic... (8.5/10)
Tangled / I am still not a huge fan of computer generated animation from Disney, but this wasn't half bad, even if the songs in it were. (7/10)
127 Hours / A wonderful film with just enough gore to keep it real, and plenty of story to keep it memorable. James Franco was superb. (9/10)
Black Swan / Hands down, Portmans best performance to date. An amazing and terrifying ride. (9.5/10)
TRON Legacy / Pretty visuals but not a lot of substance. Basically a summer flick that came out in the winter. '82 was better (7/10)
True Grit / Cinematically, this film is superb to the original. However...Bridges, while very good, is no Duke (8.5/10)

Funny you mention Baader Meinhof Komplex - I just received it from Netflix this week. I guess I'm prepped for a similar film experience then huh?
Re. Mesrine, I think it may have been a bit tonally uneven but I didn't find it that dizzying to watch. I do question whether or not it needed to be a 4 hour biopic though, but hey it's 4 hours of Cassel greatness...so yeah.

Thanks Bloo. I do have Netflix so I will check this out.
Dale, expect a detailed comparison between Brodre (2004) and Brothers (2009) in the next few days.

I thought Brothers was a bit uneven, I never for a moment bought Portman as a mother, she showed zero maternal instincts. As a wife it was more or less the same except from towards the end of the film, she did have believable chemistry with Gyllenhaal in places. Gyllenhaal is always great and really carries the film. Maguire went a bit too OTT in places but overall it was a memorable performance.
BUT DAMN! The Climax of the film is one of the greatest climaxes in recent memory, it floored me.

I usually hate assholes who are down on the remakes of brilliant films just because they love the original so much...but I have to be that asshole right now.
See the original, Maui, please!!
the original is available for viewing on Netflix watch instantly
Thanks Bloo. I do have Netflix so I will check this out.
Dale, expect a detailed comparison between Brodre (2004) and Brothers (2009) in the next few days.
it's on my Que as well and have been wanting to compare the two

Awesome. Look forward to hearing what you guys think about it.
And I guess I will see this remake even though the trailer looked like a half-baked copy of the original with far less impressive performances
