I just watched that the other night and I was underwhelmed. Not as good as I thought it would be. The Hangover was much better.

I had heard there is a certain culture you had to enjoy, the 80s hair metal, in order to appreciate that movie.
 
Nah, just had to be a teenager in the mid 80's!
 
From what people are saying, Inception is awesome!
 
Would someone please explain Inception to me? I saw it last night and while there were interesting parts, it was mostly confusing and probably the least enjoyable movie of the summer for me. And for me, it's been a great summer. I have LOVED Knight & Day, The Karate Kid, Toy Story 3, Get Him To The Greek, Cyrus, Sex & The City 2, The Kids Are All Right, and Despicable Me.
 
Inception - 4/5

One of the most entertaining movies this year.
 
Not a bit move buff but last week saw Stonewall Uprising and yes it was good. But talk about a time machine!

Do you like Sci Films in general? Can you explain Karate Kid to me?

No. Just no.
 
Cyrus was a very good movie.

The Kids are All Right was excellent for 2/3 but changed and got very heavy at the end; it felt like a different movie.
 
inception was a 7/10 as a date movie... too confusing for the wife to follow. I really enjoyed the storyline, but it was wholly predictable. Was it the exact same production team as Shutter Island?

Damn good point.


Moon (2009 film with Sam Rockwell)- 7.5/10, I liked the concept and start/finish of the movie. The film is just a bit stagnant in the middle but it was very cool.

Rented Green Zone and The Ghost Writer this weekend.

Both films take a premise from recent events and try and stretch a film out of it. Green Zone fails in doing that while The Ghost Writer succeeds.

Both worth watching, Green Zone starts strong and then gets muddled. I still think the Hurt Locker is the best gulf war movie.

The Ghost Writer is an intense political thriller by Roman Polanski. Not as good as Chinatown but better than anything he's done in years.

Green Zone - 6/10

The Ghost Writer - 8/10
 
Inception 9/10 - Incredible mind bender with an ending that questions the whole reality of the movie. I think critics are afraid to admit how good it really is. 10 out of 10 for originality

In The Loop 9/10 - A political satire in a mockumentary style. This movie is one of the funniest movies I have seen in years. Check out these clips and see if you like them.

Older movies that you should check out.

Barton Fink 8/10 - Another Coen Brothers classic. Steeped in homage to Polanski's The Tenant and Kubrick's The Shining, it's brilliant to say the least. If you're a fan of the Coen Brothers then you'd love this movie. It's got their dark sense of humor with another ending that will leave you scratching your head.

What about the Pianist?

Really? The twist at the end was awful. And it honestly made me feel like I just wasted 2 hours.

I feel ya, that's why I gave it an 8. I was reading some of the reviews over at the IMDB and they were acting like The Ghost Writer was a religious experience for them. According to the back story the writer was a reporter who used to be a huge Tony Blair supporter who became disillusioned with him over the gulf war. The ending I think was him inserting himself into the story and going out as a martyr.
 
Children of Men - 9/10

I've forgotten how overlooked this movie was. Cuaron is the only director I trust as much as Nolan at this point.
 
The Losers 6.5/10. I like to look at Zoe Saldana.
