Ditto. I think I want to like it more than I did.Originally Posted by Laworkerbee

For 2nd time, When Harry Met Sally, this movie has everything

I do not agree with that sir..
Cmon, D, the girl character is so overacted....
Maybe, but I think she fits in the role of a "crazy" and uncommon 16 years old girl. Although I agree that it could be better at the end and even more funny moments during the movie.
John Carter 7/10
Just because the gunships made cool *poof poof poof* sounds while firing their guns.
Rise of the planet of the apes - Interesting enough film, I bought the premise of it and the driving force for the ending. Some fine CG work and few little surprises. Entertaining enough to make me want to see the next one, should there be one.
6/10
The adventures of Tin Tin - Everyone told me to see this, so I did, and, well, sure it was fine, great computer generated characters, very characterful and brought my childhood memories to life, but the story wore a bit thin and parts of it played out as if it was lifted from an Uncharted game.
6/10
Chronicle - Had so much hope for this film, interesting premise, nice twist on the superheroes/powers theme. Enjoyed the first two thirds of the film immensely, the characters were played out well, showing how individual personalities were reflected in their powers, and their eventual development. The ending was a bit loose and rushed to be honest, and in general I'm tiring a little of the Cloverfield/super 8 filming style.
7/10
Prometheus - Not quite sure why this got such a hard rap from some members and press - ignoring the last 20 minutes or so of the film, and Noomi's english accent faltering a tad in a fair few scenes, I thought it was superb. Really explored the background of the alien's saga with the sort of suspense and scenic scale I have come to expect from Scott. Seeing the origin of the space jockey and being able to piece together so much of the aliensverse through various parts of the plot was also a particular highlight which made me feel ever so slightly nerdy. The last 20 mins felt superflous and rushed though, almost as if scott was worried he might not be able to save it for a second film so threw it in at the end. A few glaring gaps in the story and as someone else here said, a few 'hmmmm?' moments, which could have been done far better, but that being said I really hope they delve into another movie.
8/10
He was nice about it, I find it disgusting and not in a good way.
God Bless America?
Mhmm, I enjoyed his last film World's Greatest Dad. He was on the edge of extreme incoherency with that too, past the backdrop of the initial narrative this is him going beyond that edge IMO.

So you and Climber didn't like it. I figure maybe it's a Jewish thing. I'm still going to see it.
Don't expect yourself to be on the JDL xmas card list this year.
Stumbled across it on another thread
"The Newsroom"
Not a movie but a series that premiered in June 2012. Lookspromising. First two episodes are out. No 1 with "sophistication, wit andmanic energy", No 2 got more into personal issues. Hopefully that seriescontinues to focus more on news stuff (just like "Lou Grant") and notso much in who effs whom, or it doesn´t make it to the second season
Hatfields & McCoys - 8/10
Well worth the 6 hours marathon. Would've gave it 8.5 if I wasn't so tired.
In celebration of Independence Day watched The Patriot (the Mel Gibson one, not the Seagal one). "Aim small, miss small." 7/10.
RED - I can't help but like this movie. Not familiar with the comic, though. John Malkovich cracks me up. 8/10.
Is it just me or do you get the impression that Malkovich has to tone things down when the camera is rolling?
