Modify (2005) - Rated 22 Mar 2013
It wasn't a bad documentary, the interviews were pretty good, but the overall structure wasn't particularly good and showing the breast implant surgery multiple times wasn't necessary.

Insignificance (1985) - Rated 18 Mar 2013
There's a bunch of great acting, but also a lot of really mediocre acting. That kind of inconsistency kind of ends up making the movie too. The flashbacks were sometimes great, the writing was sometimes great, the themes were sometimes fascinating. There's a lot of great stuff, it's just all 'sometimes'.

Vengeance Is Mine (1979) - Rated 11 Mar 2013
A portrait of a psychopath, it doesn't try to explain why he's a murderer, it just lets us know that he is. Very well acted by the whole cast.

Knight and Day (2010) - Rated 11 Mar 2013
There's a lot of fun in this movie, but there's at least as much slog. It ends up not being bad, but just being bland.

Piranha 3DD (2012) - Rated 11 Mar 2013
I liked the original Piranha 3D in that cheesy dumb horror movie kind of way. This movie is um... well it's bad, even in a cheesy dumb way.

The Naked Kiss (1964) - Rated 04 Feb 2013
Liked the dynamics of changing but having your past chase you. Well acted and engrossing. The only problem I had was that the last act felt a bit rushed.

The Rum Diary (2011) - Rated 04 Feb 2013
If you've been looking for a movie that makes you constantly wish you were watching Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas instead, this is the one.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) - Rated 26 Dec 2012
I was really sure I wouldn't like this & was pleasantly surprised. Doesn't do anything new, but is very stylish with what it does do.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) - Rated 26 Dec 2012
This could have got rid of about half of the content and been much better for it. The anti-occupy moments were so eye-rolling I would embarrassed to be caught watching it. However the pacing and action are a sure step up from the last entry.

Richard III (1955) - Rated 13 Dec 2012
I forgot why I dislike Olivier, but this reminded me. He doesn't seem to know what a movie is, there's nothing here that wouldn't be done just as well, or better, in a stage production. The tone is so serious as to feel emotionally hollow and feels like Olivier only cares about how the words sound. The costuming and make-up looks largely terrible on camera. Love this play but I struggled hard to make it through this film.
