I liked it. Granted, I watched it after I tried to watch shitty, The Visit.

I will say this, PG-13 horror movies suck!! Hollywood needs to stop with that shit.

It was mildly entertaining, as long as your expectations are realistic en sech. I finished it, so it wasn't completely terrible, I guess?

Steve Jobs..........surprisingly good movie...but not necessarily a true story

and Inferno........not good at all

I was really disappointed. I knew I wasn't going to get an Oscar-caliber movie, and I knew it was going to be low-brow, but there was no charm. When you watch South Park, there is depth to the story. The swearing and crude humor is shocking, but that isn't the ENTIRETY of the product. Sausagefest felt like they never got past the fact that they are playing food that talks and fucks. And the jokes weren't that funny.

2/10 (and I REALLY wanted to like this movie)

One of the funniest movies ever made.

Star Wars - The Force Awakens. Bored the shit out of me. Hopefully they stop with this last one. 2/10.

May be the most overrated movie of all time.


Ostensibly a carbon-copy of IV

Holy hyberbole Batman.

Not as good as you'd hoped? Okay. 2/10? That's reserved for movies where you can see the boom mic.

C'mon now.

Arrival. 3/5. It was a decent movie but I figured it out pretty quickly.

This does seem to be a bit much on the hyperbole scale. That said, I looked back a year ago to see what I thought about the movie I wrote:

"Its fun. It will be forgotten in 3 months. They basically crammed a movie no one wanted to watch in with a better looking remake of Star Wars and then assaulted your eyes for a couple of hours with action scenes."

So I'm fairly on board with the overrated idea but I wouldn't say its terrible. Its just not original but that seems to be a recent trend in movies and video games.


Anyways, finally saw American Sniper. Good movie that really drags on like the war it covers. I found the first half to be better than the second. Watching the sniper scope as he chooses to kill or not is a very good movie hook and I suspect we'll see more of that in future action movies.

Cooper carries the movie and the ending is fairly touching but the actual action scene in his last tour is somewhat bizarre in the context of the rest of the movie. He basically got his entire unit killed but got bailed out by a sandstorm. Overall the movie functions as a better version of the Hurt Locker almost to the point where it renders it irrelevant. B+

I gave AS 3.5/5 and THL 3/5. Not a huge war movie guy, but I did like American Sniper, but a notch below Lone Survivor (3.5/5)

3/5????????? W.T.F.

Yep. What was so spectacular about it?

You could read my review if you care over in the review thread. I gave it 5/5 and thought it was awesome

The Shining (1980): 2.5/5 stars. You can hardly call it an adaptation of the novel, of which I gave 4/5 stars, but in steering away from the story, it did have some cool elements, notably "Here's Johnnyyyyyy." Still, the novel was much better, and I can see why Stephen King himself was very disappointed with the "adaptation." A completely different ending, less focus on Jack's alcoholism, and the portrayal of Danny was awful.
