Drive (2011)- 5/10 

I thought the filming and atmosphere of the movie was incredible, but the actual story did nothing for me and the over-blown violence was so absurd I could only laugh at some scenes

I've been to a movie theatre perhaps twice since 2005.  You'll notice none of the films I listed are later than I think the late 90's perhaps. We haven't had television (hookup or antenna) since around 2001.  No TV (neither cable or network satellite...nothing), no newspapers, no magazines.  We do watch movies though, practically every night.

I'd go again BUT I have a lot of back pain so I can't sit for long.  Plus the previews last time I went seemed to go on for half an hour before the movie started.  People were talking on their cells phones during the movie, say WTF?  The screen in many theaters are not too much bigger than my flat screen at home and oh yeah, I always seem to sit next to the Rat Family that not only brings a picnic to the move but seems to eat at sound levels louder than the THX Verified sound system in the theater.     No paper?  Damn, I read the NYT's front to back each day.  

I walked out on 'Pearl Harbor' twice!  The pain wouldn't end.  I had to go back in since I wasn't alone but only after I took a stroll around the theater a few times.

Walked out on 'Australia' and 'Shoot 'em up'.

I walked out of Les Misérables the Broadway play, but I guess that doesn't count.

Rosemary's Baby. 8/10. The "Is it real?" vs. "Isn't real?" element works because of Mia Farrow's inner freaky she's got going on. I LOLed here and there.

I saw Chronicle a few days ago.  I went to the theater looking to see The Grey but a certain ladyfriend doesn't take the whole time thing very seriously.  Anyway we both enjoyed it.  The concept is good, the acting is solid.  At times it seems a little bit like a 'hey wouldn't it be cool if we had magic powers? we could do: this, and this, and this! and this! and this!"   I read that it was done on $15 million and for that I have to say the CGI was impressive.  The ending was a little predictable but well executed.  It had my friend tearing up a bit and me thinking about how I would have handled that situation.  Overall I'd say its a fun way to spend 80 minutes.  

I wish I walked out on The Passion of Christ.  I went into it thinking it was a historical epic about Jesus so I kept waiting for the "story" to start.  I didn't realize it was really just masochist porn and after enduring 2 hours of gruesome disgusting violence and torture, the movie just ended!  WTF  Afterwards I felt about the same way I felt after watching "2 girls one cup"

^ Then there's the bizarre revision of the story.
