Get Smart: 8/10

oh and Anne Hathaway looked amazing.

 

[Spiritboxer]

HD version of "Independence Day", 9/10 I'd say.

tropic thunder - 6/10

braveheart - it took me until now to finally see this movie, but.. first and last mel gibson movie i'm hoping to see. first 40minutes of the movie 9/10.

der untergang - 8.5/10, record for the most suicides in a single movie.

Doomsday 5.7/10

Bleh, wouldve gotten a 6.7/10 if they had just left off the car chase. I mean, they were driving a bentley and old crappy cars were catching up to them constantly. That seriously got me pissed off.

Max Payne 6.2/10

The visuals were great, but the plot was too weak.

Really? I disliked it alot, and assumed my opinion to be shared by all

Yeah, I was in a "happy" mood so Hot Fuzz, 8/10

"Elizabeth: The Golden Age" [6.5/10] I usually like movies about British history. This movie seemed really disjointed to me. I think that they tried to cram too much history into a movie that was too short for the topic. I bet that a third of the movie ended up on the cutting room floor, or the producers just ran out of money...disappointing

Little Children - 7/10 It's basically an on-screen literary novel. Unlike most attempts, though, it does as good a job at showing as it does telling, with the same subtleties in direction as literary work has in prose. Narration exists and is used very well, often for emphasis. It's generally not my kind of movie, but is exceptionally good. I could have enjoyed The Dreamers, with this kind of direction.

Alien - 10 Not that I haven't seen it before, but it's that time of year. It was my first time checking out the redone DVD release, though (not director's cut, so I'm still lacking a bit

). There are a couple scenes where it is obvious that the creature is made of foam. Other than that, I can't find a flaw in it. Weylan Yutani Corp bastards, plausible use of android(s); I've seen it dozens of times and it still gets me on the edge of my seat... To think, there was a time when Ridley Scott was't telling youngins to get off of his lawn, and crying of society decaying (old people have been doing that since ancient Egypt, Mr. Scott). If you've seen or heard any recent interviews of him you probably know what I mean.

Tropic Thunder: 9/10. Haven't laughed like that in a long while. Best Tom Cruise role ever. Wow, this movie is excruciatingly hilarious.

yeah it was ok, i am not a fan of the indiana franchise you see, and therefore probably had no great deep wants or expectations, i always watch the indie series as light shallow entertainment and found the new one to be quite good in that regard

sorry i didnt share your universally shared opinion!

just watched hostel for the first time - 8/10

 

[fraseyboy]

Gladiator - 7/10

Storyline was kinda meh but it was fun to watch.

 

[hew]

In Bruges - 8.5/10. Several others on this thread has already rated it highly and I must agree that this is a must see.

 

[Quaddy]

the descent - 7/10

 

[Wmcmanus]

Saw V - Maybe a 6/10.

Not my kind of thing. I had seen the first two, but gave up after that. The GF seemed to like it much more than I did, but she's a fan of the series.

I thought it was highly predictable now that the formula-matic pattern has been established. I guess they see the whole Saw thing as a cash cow and don't feel any particular need to change anything. Yawn.

Agreed, and also, IMHO, a belleweather for judging the rater's other selections.
