A Fish Called Wanda (1988) - Rated 24 Oct 2010
Maybe a bit too long (it's still pretty short), this is how more comedy movies should be.

Bad Boys (1995) - Rated 23 Oct 2010
Skip this one and go straight for the sequel.

The Island (2005) - Rated 23 Oct 2010
Michael Bay at his most restrained, least Michael Bayish... until the second half which turns into your standard chase movie. It's well-shot and painfully dumb, but that's fine.

The A-Team (2010) - Rated 23 Oct 2010
It's not even good in a bad action movie way, which is all I wanted out of this.

Following (1998) - Rated 23 Oct 2010
Not very good at all. It's most impressive to watch Following in light of Memento, which is an impressive leap in quality.

Inception (2010) - Rated 23 Oct 2010
Pretty good for what it is, which is essentially Mission: Impossible set inside someone's head. The biggest problem is just how tame all of the dreams are--more just action movie setpieces than anything surreal or weird. I enjoyed myself.

Diggstown (1992) - Rated 28 Apr 2010
Very entertaining. Works especially well because it's short, and the central actors are all fun as hell to watch.

The Stunt Man (1980) - Rated 28 Apr 2010
Totally kinetic and crazy, every scene crackles with tons of energy. I don't completely buy Steve Railsback in some scenes, but it's really a minor issue when so much madness is going on around him.

Field of Dreams (1989) - Rated 25 Jan 2010
Pretty good I guess. It's manipulative and cheesy, but it's pretty well-shot and enjoyable throughout.

Daybreakers (2010) - Rated 11 Jan 2010
Awful because of how painfully mediocre it is. They had a really good concept and did nothing interesting with it, and it doesn't help that this film has some of the most boringly unimaginative photography I've seen in a while. The story never builds up any momentum or presents any interesting challenges, or even any decent action. All you're left with is some fun gore and a few good ideas, but it isn't worth it.
