Curiosity got the better of me on this one, that, and Angelina Jolie, who looks hot animated or otherwise. Once you get past the fact that you're watching a cartoon for adults, it's not so bad. Pretty violent in fact. More enjoyable though, is the making of featurette on the DVD. Casting Crispin Glover in the role of Grendel was genius.
One of those well made films with great performances that you enjoyed but never want to see again. A lot of heavy material with circumspect characters. Makes me wish I knew more about the historical accuracy of the film. Africa: what a messed up place. 
I found the process of opening a restaurant in New York quite fascinating, as well as a few of the restaurateur vignettes. The style was very rough and flowed poorly at times. There were parts I used the FF button to zip through. It could have used a bigger dose of production value. 
They took a short story and created an insanely convoluted plot around it that was neither satisfying or logical. 
Only watched this because it was playing on my Delta flight. Stellar cast in a sub-par formula Gary Marshall film. It uses every cliché in the book. Mildly entertaining at times, like watching a Jr. High School play.
A quirky pet project from Mr. Freeman. It appears he’s playing himself, which is a bit of a stretch for the plot. It’s more of a toned town version of his real Hollywood stature. The lead actress is a delight, however it’s a slow film with a barely-there plot. 
Another film from Tom Tykwer, of Run Lola Run fame, starring the same red headed actress. Having seen two of his previous movies, I think I can safely say this guy is fantastic. His camera work, editing, and direction are so unique and creative. He has a way of sucking you in and messing with your emotions.
Despite ok acting, the material they had to work with was so bad, it brought the entire film down. The plot made no sense and the ending was abysmal. Waste of time. 
A slick British alien movie that doubles as a social commentary on the youth gang culture in London. Loved the look of the aliens. Rare to see a fresh take on this old genre. 
Rating: B-
I'd heard it was really good, and it was. Cinematically stunning with a very witty script. I adored the leading actress and the amusing love story. This French film is a must see.
Right up Pineapple Expresses' alley. Bumbling fools committing crimes, saying funny crap, and blowing stuff up. Terrific cast of funny guys. Nice to see Nick Swarsdon able to escape Adam Sandler’s unfunny clutches long enough to star in a movie that doesn’t totally suck. Aziz kills it as usual. Danny McBride is hilarious in anything he does. Order a pizza and enjoy this rental. 
I was an extra for a day on this film, but none of my scenes made it to the final cut. No Oscar nominations for me. Despite that, the movie was intense, fast paced, well shot, and gripping. Not as gruesome as I had heard, but certainly not for the squeamish.
Another take on the end of the world genre—one of my favorite movie subjects. It’s a deadly disease this time round instead of zombies or aliens. In the end, it’s all the same. What I find interesting is the writer/director’s vision of what life would be like when society breaks down. I thought they did a good job of keeping things realistic. I can’t imagine the budget for this film was very big, but it looked fine on screen. Worth renting.
This almost felt more like a Coen Brothers movie than a Judd Apatow film. Dark, funny, and violent. Not among his best work, but still entertaining. 
I imagine that the difficult journey shown in the film mirrored the difficult journey it must have been to get this film made. It's not your typical Saturday afternoon popcorn fare. A very personal story told in a slow, but interesting way. Layers are peeled back gradually. The viewer will be rewarded by sticking with it.
An interesting take on the social misfit in high school. The curtain is pulled back to show the audience what lies behind the fat kid who wears pajamas to school. It’s very dry, and slow moving. John C. Riley was born to play these roles. There’s a bit of Cyrus, and even a little Step Brothers thrown in there. This film won’t knock your socks off, but it might possibly make you think twice before judging a book by its cover. 
How have I seen 4 of these, and in the theater no less! I didn’t even read the books. I kind of like not knowing what’s going to happen, unlike everyone else in the theater. I’m invested in the characters and will see this series through to the end.
I choose to review these as a single film, since they are meant to be viewed together. Fountains of blood. Those 3 words best describe Tarantino's throwback revenge movie. There's the usual amazing cast of characters, each with their own witty lines and quirky personalities.
The second half has a bit more depth. The training sequence was beautiful cinema. The "eye snatch" is something to look for. If you're in the mood for some good action and violence, and who isn't, this will certainly quench your thirst. But be warned, fountains of blood. Can't wait for the 3rd volume in 2014.
Almost exactly what I expected, which is sad, since that means I knowingly rented a C- movie. It’s mildly amusing overall, with enough laughs to make it watchable. Justin T and Jason Segel are criminally underused. I quite enjoyed Lucy Punch’s straight arrow teacher. 
A small Edward Burns picture about relationships, as usual. I enjoyed it - some fun characters and an outstanding performance by Stanly Tucci.
The acting is what really stands out in this Western. You may not agree with the choices made by the characters, most of which appear to be bad ones, but you can tell they believe in what they are doing. 
A slow, beautifully shot story that differs from the one the previews are selling. Mostly because the real story isn’t great movie trailer material. Hugo is a real labor of love from Scorsese and other film preservationist collogues of his. Johnny Depp produced. Terrific performances from Chloe, the kid playing Hugo, and Kingsly. Slow, but deep. Enjoyed it. The 3D was unnecessary though. 
A real mishmash of ideas that never fully realize. There were bits and pieces of a good movie in there, but they unfortunately they got lost in the confusion. I didn't buy it.
Wildly inappropriate. Not everything hit, but plenty did. I laughed a lot. Bateman and Reynolds were fantastic portraying each other. Added bonus having Leslie Mann to look at. Huge crush on her. 
Quirky and fun. Will Farrel is allowed to run wild -- that's worth the price of admission alone. The ending was a bit cheesy, but the journey there makes you feel better.
Started out strong with some funny scenes and smart writing. Things weakened in the second half. A lot of contrived plot lines and cliché sequences. This is a general audience pleaser and fun overall, but it’s better if you switch half your brain off. Ladies will be giving this an A+ for Ryan Gosling alone. 
Another in this series of music video directors. Anton is a Dutch artist who's DVD seems to be filled with an abundance of bad synth music and unwatchable black and white videos. In fact, I'd skip everything from his early career and go straight to some of his newer stuff. Unfortunately, it's not much better.
I would have enjoyed this film much more if there wasn’t so much yelling and arguing. It got old really fast. I guess if I was raised in an Italian-American family this would seem completely natural. The plot itself didn’t wow me either. None of the characters, with the exception of the lovely Emily Mortimer, were that endearing. The film was well made—I just didn’t care for the story. 
You’d think with such a strong cast of comedians on board that it would result in at least a mediocre action spoof. Unfortunately, the writing was terrible and they simply had nothing to work with. Barely watchable. 
I read that many felt this was a depressing film until the end, but I would disagree. It does an excellent job of showing how quickly things can turn from bad to worse when living on the edge of poverty. It also shows how hard work and determination can help to get you back on your feet. Will Smith and his son are great together. It's obvious acting runs in the family. While I'm sure some parts of the story were enhanced for the screen, it's still a good bit of drama based on a true story.
A very slow, somewhat pointless historical action movie with the camera running at half speed most of the time. There are bits and pieces that could have been salvaged to make an ok movie, but it seems the director was more interested in actualizing some shroom induced vision. 
Really enjoyed this family classic, as I have other Pixar films. They really go out of their way to entertain their adult audience as well as the kids. 
Did this really debut on the Syfy channel? Not bad if it did. A fairly competent zombie movie interspersed with occasional cartoony special effects. Acting wasn’t bad, except for Taryn Manning, who’s terrible in almost everything she does. The film gets bonus points for some creative new scenes and ideas that I haven’t seen in other zombie flicks. You’ll have to check it out to see. 
The exact opposite of Say Anything, in that this movie was very poorly written, while Say Anything was witty and fun.
Your basic people paying to watch others fight to the death movie, only with paintball players. Production value was low across the board, and it really showed. Plot didn’t make a whole lot of sense. Editing was extremely jumpy. 
Penelope Cruz is a delight in this film, as are all the Spanish actors. The slow pace allows each subtle layer of the script to unfold in due time. I loved the character of her mother and the surprises she brings to the story.
Straight forward documentary about the 2700 mile Continental Divide mountain bike race that begins in Alberta and ends at the Mexican border. As an endurance athlete, it’s fun to watch others suffer from the comfort of my couch. 
Not the dark comedy I was hoping for. Short of a couple good laughs, there wasn't anything else redeeming in the movie.
