I see it as a good depiction of life, frustrating, angry, etc, complete opposite of funny.

When it gets that pathetically bad the only thing left to do is laugh.

The Bridge

SLC Punk - I had a feeling the movie would end the way it did. Kind of reminded me of Clerks and most of Kevin Smith's movies in the sense that a hidden message and/or internal message is trying to come through. The main character obviously was dealing with his own identity battles and began to question what exactly Anarchy is. I liked the explanation of the "cycle" and how he was never really put off when people asked him why he is the way he is.

Didn't like that movie the first time I saw it, worked at a videostore and a girl there insisted we watch it because a bigger videostore opened down the road, so you could watch ed up shit (even porn) due to no customers coming in.

Watched it a second time and was able to appreciate it, again because of the deep plot hidden under all the crazy antics and general Matthew Lillardisms. Another movie similar to that is Suburbia. That's an excellent "oddball" movie. Watch that if you liked Clerks and SLC Punk. It's on Netflix streaming too.

I know this thred is movies that didn't suck, but the last 2 I saw sucked so much I had to include them. They are the roommate and the ghost writer

Greenberg.

Didn't care for it much.

SCREAM 4

Jill being Ghostface was ridiculous because she is smaller and physically harder to convince she can pull those killings. This chick was crazy as hell, just another confused teenager. Overall movie was just okay, maybe the third best in series.

3.5/5

Super 8.

Decent monster flick that was well shot. Story is typical, but enjoyable nonetheless.

War of the Roses - 5/10

Friend recommended I see it. It was pretty horrifying. Could've gone without seeing it. I don't need to see something like this to know getting married is generally a Trap.

crazy stupid love - funny
anastasia - rewatched for fun.
the help - surprised at how long it was, about what I expected otherwise.
inside job - sigh, ridiculous stuff.
the art of getting by - quite liked it, good movie probably not. simple if not particularily accurate way to describe it, it's kind of a funny story with less humour and more angst.

Started watching movies again since I had fuck all else to do.

Batman Forever - Forgot how cheesy this was. It's like both Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones thought they were supposed to be The Joker
Hanna - Disappointing. Had high hopes but left sort of bored
Battlestar Galactica: The Plan - Just makes me want more BSG. Hopefully the new series delivers.

Schindler's List - 8.5/10
Starts of a little slow but then get's very good. Wish there was more graphic scenes of what happened.

Confessions

Not quite what I expected, thought it'll be more like something from the Vengeance trilogy however it was fairly good. Very long slow start though.

Battle Royale - Well worth watching.

Machete

absolute trash

^awww come on, that shit was so bad it looped back to awesome.

13 - 7/10

Strangely odd movie, but not too bad.

The Tree of Life.

I liked it. Visually stunning and some interesting themes. Definitely not for people who hate abstract things and need a lot of plot etc.
