Cinema Addict - 1940 Films Ranked

Bio: I like all kinds of movies, with a slight bias towards comedies, thrillers, geeky shit (sci-fi / fantasy / superheroes), and James Bond. Outside of movies I like politics, cats, Mexican food, retro video games, New York City, and the TV show Community. I dislike lizards, peanut butter, and Lars von Trier.

75 T8 Poltergeist (1982) - May 21, 2013
"A good spot of 80s Spielbergian horror fun. The family dynamics always felt so real in these 80s genre flicks in a way I'm not sure subsequent decades ever comparably mastered."
77 T8 Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) - May 19, 2013
"I found everything involving (SPOILERS) Khan to be pretty silly and unnecessary. This isn't a comic book movie, we don't need classic villains. Making up new villains is fine, indeed, preferred. Other than that, though, this is a really fun and super fast-paced space adventure movie with a lot of great set pieces (LOVED the ship-to-ship skydiving). I look forward to seeing Abrams bring this sensibility to his preferred (by his own admission) Star Wars franchise."
62 T5 Pain & Gain (2013) - May 15, 2013
"I'll certainly give Bay this: This feels like a much more personal film than anything he's done lately. It's as weird and dark and grimy and defiantly anti-mainstream as almost anything I've seen in the art house lately. The movie's incredibly high energy level betrays it to some extent though as the film becomes immensely draining by the end. I saw this a couple days after Great Gatsby, a film 20 minutes longer than this one, and this one felt WAY longer. I even checked the time on my phone."
69 T7 The Great Gatsby (2013) - May 12, 2013
"Despite their disparate subject matter, I think this is 2013's Prometheus: Movies with a lot to nitpick about their storytelling that make up for it by being sumptuous visual feasts (and the rare films that actually justify forking up the extra dough to see their excellent 3D). This is a gorgeous movie, and well-acted with an engaging enough story. The psychiatric framing device is godawful, though, especially when it blocks the movie going out on one of the best final sentences in literature."
1 T1 Pledge This! (2006) - May 09, 2013
"Lo, and Satan looketh upon National Lampoon's works, and he smiled. And the stench of burning flesh raised up, and the stench of death filled the air. And Paris Hilton starred in comedies, and surreally enough wasn't even the film's worst performance, and the sky roiled red and blood rained down, and the eyes of the 666 chosen children rolled over white, and the film contained a three-minute scene of backed-up sinks spewing diarrhea, and the children chanted in tongues, the words of Satan."
77 T8 Iron Man 3 (2013) - May 08, 2013
"After the dull and crappy Iron Man 2 and the fun-if-a-bit-overrated The Avengers, I was pleasantly shocked by how thoroughly enjoyable I found this. It scores on the big screen action count, but also has lots of laugh lines and nice character work and (perhaps alone among films so far in the Avengers series) actually says something pretty interesting about the use of symbols and theatricality in warfare and terrorism."
14 T1 Van Wilder: Freshman Year (2009) - May 05, 2013
"No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no "
69 T7 Oblivion (2013) - Apr 27, 2013
"The first half feels meandering and unfocused (if occasionally visually arresting), but the film gets a bit more zip in its step after a midmovie twist, coming to an ending I found interesting. (Believe it or not, there's a LOT of this movie the trailer didn't even hint at, which in 2013 is by itself a revelation.) It suffers from a whole lot of telling instead of showing in regard to its backstory, though. And it's a shame Kosinski couldn't get another kick-ass Daft Punk soundtrack!"
56 T4 G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) - Apr 23, 2013
"It veers between good, tongue-in-cheek dumb (stuff with Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander bursting into a meeting of world leaders and declaring that now they all answer to him), and just dumb dumb (most everything else). Still, looking over 2013's action flicks so far, you should see this before Olympus Has Fallen or Jack the Giant Slayer."
20 T1 Raise Your Voice (2004) - Apr 21, 2013
"Hilary Duff fails to produce a cinematic masterpiece."
