It's clear from very early on that QoS's director, Marc Forster, should not have been the man in charge of this. He has shown a propensity in the past for smaller movies, but with QoS he is lost. As a result, it's a disjointed mess where the action scenes are incomprehensible, the plot is labyrinthine in an uninvolving way, and the characters are uninteresting. It makes sense the interesting character in the movie appears for about 10 minutes before being unceremoniously dumped - twice.

Crash (2005) - Rated 16 Jul 2010

I cannot understand for the life of me how this won Best Picture, especially considering it's basically Traffic, but shittier. Maybe this would have been groundbreaking forty years ago, but it's a poorly written overwrought drama that attempts to make deep, thought provoking points about race by having people bitch about racial stereotypes, and then act according to them, and by having the same damn woman wailing for half the film.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) - Rated 14 Jul 2010

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an aggressively stupid and bad movie that appeals only to emotionally stunted manchildren. The action sequences are no more than piles of metal throwing themselves at each other, there are plot holes big enough to fly a 747 through, every performance is terrible, and the humor is obnoxiously unfunny. The movie is, in general, two hours and thirty minutes too long. 100 years later, this may seen as the beginning of the end of western civilization.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) - Rated 18 Jul 2010

Never has three men standing in a circle looking at each other for ten minutes been this exciting. And I mean that sincerely.

The Boondock Saints (1999) - Rated 13 Jul 2010

This movie doesn't deserve to be a cult classic. It's stupid, fascistic gun porn, but then again I expected that. What amazed me most about Boondock Saints was how boring it is. Too much of the movie is just people standing around shooting guns at each other without making us care at all. My biggest disappointment was Willem Dafoe, whose cop isn't the worst character in this movie only because Rocco is in it. It's a shitty Tarantino ripoff without any understanding of Tarantino's charm. Skip it.
