Wall-E -- 5/10 -- I didn't really find it too special. Sure, it had a good message and the animation was cool but it was a bit too childish compared to the other animated movies. The lack of talking sort of ruined the movie for me but I guess it would also ruin the movie if Wall-E talked. Definitely not on the same level as Finding Nemo or Monsters Inc. but it was a good try.

Role Models -- 6/10 -- There were a couple of 'laugh out loud' moments but it was mostly generic shit with a predictable plot. That black kid is hilarious though.
 
District 9 -- 9/10 -- great fun, perfect summer action-adventure.

Agreed, I saw some 15 year old kids walk out, that's how I knew this was good. The dumb asses walked out. So well done.
 
A Perfect Getaway- 7/10. Liked the end though the rest of the movie wasn't all that tense/thrilling. Makes you think a lot afterward and fun to talk about with whoever you saw the movie with.
 
Tropic Thunder -- 7/10 -- Seen it before, but still great. Tom Cruise is awesome in that movie.
 
Splinter -- 7/10 -- most B-movie horror films have less to offer; I like watching movies where people are stranded or pushed into a corner, and this is one of them; interesting idea for a monster; five people total in the cast, but not much acting skill to speak of.
 
District 9 -- 9/10 -- Quite possibly one of the best movies I've seen in the amphitheater (lol) for a long time. I loved how Peter Jackson developed the main character (his name escapes me). The acting was fantastic and the realism made it seem, well, real? The action scenes were pretty cool but the end did leave me asking a lot of questions. I guess there will be a sequel.
 
A Scanner Darkly -- 6.5/10 -- Pretty trippy movie. I like the whole animated effect. Great story, great acting, but a little bit slow for my liking.
 
Running Scared: 7.5/10

Surprisingly good.
 
Alien Trespass -- 2/10 -- easily mimics a cliched 50's alien movie but goes absolutely nowhere with it.
The Burrowers -- 8/10 -- atmospheric, interesting, and original; about as good as B-horror gets.
 
The Boat That Rocked -- 6/10 -- you start to forget it even before you're done watching it. Tries hard to be light and endearing but never gets traction.
Streets of Blood -- 2/10 -- I couldn't get past the first fifteen minutes. I dare you to try.
 
Labyrinth -- 8/10 -- great kids movie although David Bowie's package is featured predominantly. Hadn't seen it for 20-years and it has aged well. Nice to see camera tricks and puppetry creating a world as imaginative and believable modern CGI.
 
Once Upon a Time in America -- 9/10 -- Sergio Leone's opus originally stretched out over ten hours. It's unfortunate it wasn't made today, with the television miniseries back in vogue, and the cable outlets looser than ever with censorship. As it were, the 1980s were unkind to Leone. Distributors gave it an X-rating making widespread release impossible. Leone trimmed the film to six hours and offered it as two three-hour halves. Instead, distributors around the globe edited it liberally, most infamously in America--where a 2-1/2 hour version was released with several of the most visceral scenes removed. Not astonishingly, the film flopped. Now everybody wants the full version. Reportedly, the six hour reels have been found in Leone's home (Leone passed in '89) and a full length DVD release could be forthcoming. Currently only a four-hour edition is available--which is still worth watching. Not only is it a piece of cinematographic history, it's a captivating film; but it is very, very long as a standalone one.
 
Tyson - 10/10

Wow. What a great documentary. It gave great insight to the twisted world of Mike Tyson. I'm glad the man has gotten his life back on track. I'm not going to lie, watching him trying to talk about Cus D'amato was really touching. The pain in his eyes and voice was so real.
 
17 Again - 3/10

Halloween 2 - 6/10 Rob Zombie needs to keep making slasher flicks like this.

Bully - 5/10

Fighting - 6/10
 
PUBLIC ENEMIES SUCKED CAJONES!

7/10

I wouldn't have given this movie such a high grade, if it wasn't for the little girl's performance. Holy shit she was brilliant.

The twist near the end was pretty ridiculous, though. A very "WTF" moment.
 
Observe & Report -- 7/10 -- pretty dark, characters that are hard to love, some very funny moments but a few that feel too much like Bad Santa.
 
Mean Streets -- 9/10 -- from '73 to '76 De Niro was in Mean Streets, The Godfather, and Taxi Driver, demonstrating an acting range few will ever match. Mean Streets is rightly criticized for having no story arc and little rising action until the final few minutes, but the intensity of the performances is lasting. Not Scorsese's best film but his first great one.
 
Love Mean Streets. Nice choice, speeds.
 
Zombieland- 8/10. One of the better movies I've seen this year. Really funny and its got flavor. Sort of like an American Shaun of the dead but its a lot better than Shaun of the Dead IMO. I also think that the actors in it are good, fascinating, endearing supporting actors so it was a joy to see them get bigger roles in this movie. Go fuggin see it!

Couples' Retreat- 7/10. Wasn't really that funny and was fairly predictable but I'm a sucker for John Favreau and Vince Vaughn. Poorly paced and not consistently that funny but it does have its moments. Decent movie but I get the feeling that I appreciated it more than most because I'm a huge fan of Swingers and I don't think most people get Favreau's awkward comedy at first.
 
Day of the Dead: The Need to Feed -- 2/10 -- a longstanding faux pas of the zombie movie genre is that if the film is serious, which Day of the Dead: The Need to Feed is, nobody should refer to the zombies as zombies. Nobody is supposed to know anything about zombies. They are typically called "things". This is quite different than vampire movies where vampires are quickly identified and past movies and books can be used to understand them. Well, about half way through The Need to Feed, Nick Cannon calls one a zombie and breaks the rules, condemning the film for strict fans of the genre. Otherwise it is an entirely generic zombie movie with no surprises and has nothing to do with the original DotD.

Lol, I remember that movie. Cannon had the typical black guy role.

Yeah, you could've substituted every line he had in that movie with "I'm black!" and the story wouldn't be the least bit interrupted.
 
Zombieland -- 8/10 -- really fun movie. Not as good as Shaun of the Dead but certainly better than the vast majority of zombie movies made these days. Also it was courageously violent--perhaps more violent than Dawn of the Dead and other serious zombie movies--which was refreshing.
