25 T1 Scary Movie 5 (2013) - May 11, 2013
"I saw this because I needed to kill a few hours nd the person I was with didn't want to see Iron Man 3. I can't really think of it as a movie... I laughed a couple times and it wasn't painful for the most part. "
79 T8 Pi (1998) - May 11, 2013
"This is an amazing early film by Aronofsky and it establishes many of his trademark techniques. It is masterfully made and has a grandeur to it that it's hard not to get caught up in, but after its all over I can't quite decide what I'm supposed to take away from it all. This may require a rewatch. "
78 T7 The Great Gatsby (2013) - May 11, 2013
"This adaptation is surprisingly faithful and yet at the same time daring. Overall Baz Luhrmann's over-the-top style fits the material well, but Tobey Maguire is a limited actor and the bookending of it with Nick in a Sanatorium feels a cheap and unnecessary excuse for the voice over narration straight out of the book (which is a real blessing). DiCaprio, Mulligan, and Edgerton do some really fine work, but Baz isn't an actor's director and his style can get in the way of the performances."
62 T4 The Yellow Handkerchief (2008) - May 02, 2013
"It's a simple enough story but it's well told and William Hurt creates a really sympathetic character. Redmayne's performance is quirky and fun with a lot of depth, and Stewart is well cast but inconsistent. "
40 T2 ParaNorman (2012) - May 01, 2013
"I really enjoy stop action visually and I'd heard good things about this movie, but the horror movie intro was the best part. It's a fine premise and an interesting message, but this movie really wanted to be a short, at least a half hour shorter. Also most of the characters are too 2-dimensional to be worth caring about. Didn't Pixar prove you can do better with family appropriate movies?"
66 T5 Idiocracy (2006) - Apr 27, 2013
"Fun concept, lots of potential, but it's rather short and could be more fully realized. "
90 T10 The Lives of Others (2006) - Mar 14, 2013
"It's a shame that I have such a typical American prejudice against watching foreign language films and that it takes me this long to check out the ones I get intrigued by watching the Oscars. So it only took me about 6 years to sit down and watch this movie - I hope it changes the pattern. This is a great film, very well acted and touching. The lead actor especially does a fantastic job of making a believable 180 degree journey and drawing an audience in. "
10 T1 Rubber (2010) - Mar 08, 2013
"Maybe I'll try again to make it through this movie, but it couldn't hold my attention which is definitely a mark against any movie and I basically found it painful to sit through more than 15 minutes at a time."
73 T6 Compliance (2012) - Mar 08, 2013
"It's amazing what a filmmaking team can do with $16,000 and a great idea for a movie. The acting is solid across the board, especially Ann Dowd and Dreama Walker. This film is tense, gripping, and provocative enough that I'm already googling the real-life cases of this. Well worth a watch."
72 T6 Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) - Mar 07, 2013
"The visual effects in this movie are really stunning. I didn't expect much, but saw it after it got some oscar nominations and and it surprised me a lot. Definitely one of the best big blockbusters of the year and a smart way of re-telling the classic story. The cast is fairly good: Theron is a solid, fun villain and Kristen Stewart works well for the most part. Chris Hemsworth has been better, and the part could have used a little more Han Solo and less earnestness. The dwarves are great "
