Bio: On movies:

I'm not easily impressed. I judge profusely on emotion. I try to view subjective content with an objective lens, but I certainly will hyperbolize my argument for the sake of being correct, or sensational. My opinion likely differs from yours, but neither of us are right nor wrong.

I wasn't paying attention as much as I should have. Cute story, the details are what makes this work. Leaves you warm and fuzzy inside.

Thor (2011) - Rated 05 Apr 2013

Nice, albeit a bit cheesy. Disappointed in Portman's performance.

Foreverland (2011) - Rated 29 Mar 2013

To be honest, I fell asleep half an hour before the ending. Predictable and cheesy, but you could do a whole lot worse.

Psycho (1960) - Rated 29 Mar 2013

This just doesn't get old. Attention to detail and flawless execution.

Bridesmaids (2011) - Rated 22 Mar 2013

I agree, Wiig was good at her role. Strayed more to the rom-com side of things than typical raunchy Apatow humour (this was an aspect I liked, however). Overall, pretty mediocre. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent comedy. But I was expecting this to be a whole lot funnier than it was.

Submarine (2010) - Rated 21 Mar 2013

Pretty to look at, a quirky debut by Richard Ayoade. I'd be interested to see more of his directorial work. Some clever humour sprinkled subtly throughout. It has a few golden moments, but gets caught up in its own flatulence more often than not.

Side Effects (2013) - Rated 15 Mar 2013

Bland, almost laughably immature script, a few bouts of "you call that acting?!", and Soderbergh can't throw together a good story. It was all over the map and so goddamn slow. None of the characters were likeable. The last plot twist was absolutely obscene... Impressive performance by Jude Law and stunning soundtrack, however.

Office Space (1999) - Rated 13 Mar 2013

Rewatched this little gem yesterday. The characters are funny, the music is obnoxious, the script is simple, but it delivers - a successful comedy!
