Young Guns - 3.5/5
I finally got around watching this movie and what a great movie it was! The story is incredible and execution was great. The acting was top notch especially from Brad Pitt, he did a fantastic job. Seeing him slowly go from old man to a baby was incredible journey to experience. The last 30min of the movie were incredible and the ending..sad.
It might be one of the longer movies (2h 30min) but I recommend you find some time and watch this movie. It's fantastic!
9.5/10
Breaking Bad - Season 1&2: 9.5/10
One of the really interesting and well-produced shows I have seen. The acting is usually great, the humor is well delivered and keeps the tone of the show from being too serious and the overall premise, while wacky is really awesome and creative. The pacing can sometimes feel a bit slow at times, but really one of my favorite shows. I think it is good decision by AMC to stop it at five seasons, it means they can keep the creativity of the plotline and come to a satisfying conclusion. I also can't help but see some of Hal's (Malcolm in the Middle) mannerisms reflected in Walt's manner, but that obviously can't be avoided ~ makes some scenes unintentionally hilarious at times.
bless you with this DOPE
John Carter: An IMAX 3D Experience – 8.3/10
From reviews i read that this movie would be a love it or hate it type of thing, and needless to say i loved it. The acting was a bit shoddy from time to time, but Avatar for instance shared that same feat with its human characters. But the story really drew me in and the action sequences were great. Some of the earlier scenes are a bit faster paced than they should be but it corrects itself ater the first 20 minutes. Loved it.
V for Vendetta - 5/5
I thought Watchmen was the best comic adaption until I saw this. It's pretty much perfect in every single way. There are some minor changes, but I think they made the film better than the book.
The Big Lebowski (Again) 10/10
I just truly love this film, it is pretty much flawless, with incredible acting, great comedy, great writing, direction, soundtrack and just everything. If you haven't already. GO WATCH THIS MOVIE NOW CON'SARN IT!
Star Trek: First Contact. - 8/10
While I have only watched and liked The Original Series I thought if I watched the movie I would be completely lost. I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn't. While I do have knowledge of other seasons of Star Trek it was rather limited so I basically knew who all the characters were and who the Borgs were (which btw are the creepiest things in any form of media I have ever had the misfortune of seeing) The plot was a great one, im a sucker for time travel. And I thought the ending was very satisfactory.
Airplane! - 3.5/5
I made the mistake of trying to watch this late at night when everyone else in the house was sleeping. It's extremely stupid but it made me laugh almost the entire way through.
Women in Black-8/10
Quite a solid film with some decent scares but what really makes the film great is the atmosphere. Right from the get go the atmosphere is really creepy and it really adds to the movie. What lets it down is that sometimes Radcliff's acting can be abit poor and I feel that the last act was also kind of poor compared to the middle which was by far the best part of the movie.
Also another thing to add is in my theatre, some girls kept giggling at random things and laughing and it was annoying everyone until this man with a really gruff voice just yelled "Shut up, you're pissing everyone off. And turn your fucking phones off too". They never spoke again. Really Funny IMO.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind 7/10, it was a total, WHAT THE FUCK!? Movie, and in a good way. The acting was solid, and the entire story was such a surprise, I couldn't see most of it coming, and the only bits I could were seconds before it happened. True at parts it got a little dull, and it had some really awkward (uncomfortable awkward) scenes but over al it was touching and amazing.
Johnny English Reborn 6/10, maybe it was the hype, but I din't find it all that funny. There were some fairly funny bits, but one of the main jokes seemed to be milked, it was done at least 3 times in the movie, but Rowan still gave a great performance as he always does. Just the whole story seemed fairly uneventful and predictable. But it was still enjoyable. I am glad I borrowed it from colege and didn't buy it however.
Fight Club
Coincidentally, after finishing the novel, the film was on AMC last Wednesday. I watched the film, in order to get a better sense of the novel. Going into the film knowing the basics of the plot somewhat helped, but also hindered, as I became aware of the ending immediately. This film, however, was fantastic. The acting was great, the story was great, and the idea was great. I can see why this is such a popular cult film. A great film. Fight Club gets a 9.5/10.

CRANK 2: High Voltage | 7/10
Good but not as good as the first one.
Horrible Bosses | 7/10
A typical comedy with few laughs once here and there.
I've tried watching Naruto Shippuden easily half a dozen times now but I usually get distracted by something else and forget about it, thus forgetting the story and having to start it over every time. Well I kind of want to watch it but I barely remember even the original series so I'm re-watching it.
Naruto: Volumes 1 and 2 - 3/5
Unfortunately I'm stuck with the awful English dub. These first episodes of Naruto are fine, but not the series' best from what I remember. The Zabuza/Land of Waves arc goes on for about five episodes too long, but Steve Blum stands out as one of the few voice actors capable of making the dub bearable.
