We Bought A Zoo. Ok, not bad, is well made and paced. The story starts out sad and has a melancholy tone throughout that sort of brings it down the entire time. Probably a grade of B.
Do PTSD flashbacks count? Fortunately, I didn't buy this in the bargain bin, but I did see both movies back in the day. False advertising for sure -- there's NO comedy here. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Tinker Taylor Soldier Brilliant cold war spy piece set in the seventies. It was great, at least the parts of the plot I understood.
Saw 4 on the airplane today 1) Moneyball. I liked it. It's not great but a good movie. You have to like baseball though to appreciate it I think. Some might find it boring. 2) Puss and Boots: Lame. Dreamworks phoned this one in. 3) Real Steel: Lousy. Stupid. I thought it was some kind of joke. A total waste of money. 4) Drive: It's interesting but not great. I can't believe some think this is academy award material.
Interesting, I've heard nothing but good things about these three. No way would I ever go see Real Steel, but others have seemed to like it.
Moneyball is a baseball lovers movie. I liked it. Not as good as Field of Dreams, but better than For the Love of the Game by a long shot. I liked real steel; but not because it was good. I think it had something to do with knowing where large portions of it were filmed... It was a lot like Rockem' Sockem' fighters though. Drive- the only thing I liked about it was the actor from Breaking Bad. The driving wasn't so good, the story was horrible, and I felt no empathy for any of the characters dilemma. Def. not academy material. If a movie gets sued for false advertising in a trailer...
+ 1, many don't even know the sweedish version there are three installments (movies) and all are excellent.
Colombiana; pretty good action flick and well worth the watch. Only disappointment was not seeing enough of Zoe. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a sequel. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Just finished watching Contagion. Very good movie. 9/10 in my books. Scary how real that could be. -G.B.
The Adventures of Tin Tin. Wow! Simply amazing what Speilberg and computers are capable of. Makes the days of Indiana Jones look blah. Lots of fun for adults and kids! Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Lots of fun and yep best of the installments.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol 7.5/10 Fun summer action flick (that was released in the winter). Tom Cruise does a great job as usual. Apollo 18: I went into this expecting a piece of crap...wasnt bad.
"Bad Teacher" - Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Jason whatshisface.... Not horrible, not great - funny at times but bizarre in most places (as in, "this is NOT the real world!!!") Forced to watch with the fam... not recommended Jedi
