Boderland - 6/10

Fairly typical horror flick aimed at today's teens. Apparently "inspired" by true events too. That's supposed to make it even more scary and make the box office ticket sales go up. It was on Superchannel so cost me nothing extra.

The Curios Case of Benjamin Button 5/10

Fantastic picture and audio on blu but the movie itself seemed to borrow things from other movies and maintain a predictable format. All in all this may be one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen. It ended 30 min ago and the wife and I put on Captain Ron to wash it off before sleepy time. It's a decent movie but waaaaaaay depressing imo.

Death Note Live Action Movie 2 - 7/10.

I did enjoy it, just not as much as the series. I thought the character of Light lost some depth though.

yeah i know what you mean, it can be a bit squeamish in that regard

the show is big enough to cope with that though

the salton sea - 6.5/10

[The following is a short excerpt from my full review of the movie; no spoilers are in this version. You can find the rest of the review here, on my website.]

Prior to walking into the movie theater, all I knew about “Up” was that it was about an old man (Carl Fredricksen) who begrudgingly goes onto an adventure with a boy (Russell), and somehow a dog is part of it. So what I expected was a whimsical journey around the world, while the old man and young boy struggled to deal with their generation gap. Nowhere did I predict a flimsy storyline, weak villain, random filler characters, and forced humor to plague the entire movie.

“Up” leaves more of a “Cars” aftertaste in my mind, where I could never quite connect to any of the characters past the basic familiarity level. I believe that the main problem with the movie’s structure was that in the beginning scene, it gave the impression that the entire movie centered around the whole aspect of having Mr. Fredricksen finally fulfill his wife’s dream of travel and adventure, and once that was done within the first hour of the movie, everything after that seemed to be the unwanted “side effect,” or price, for Mr. Fredriksen wanting to simply settle down. While I do understand that by having to deal with Russell, Kevin, Muntz, and the talking dogs, it fulfills the “adventure” part of the journey for Mr. Fredricksen, but they all never seem quite dedicated to their purpose, and in the end they all pale in sincerity to Ellie had last wrote to Carl in their scrapbook.

On a side note, I saw this film in 3D. The effects were rather sparse, and didn’t run far from the screen. I was expecting something along the lines of that Disneyland/Disneyworld show “Jim Henson’s Muppet*Vision 3D.” Maybe perhaps not that zany of effects, but just more pronounced. At least I got to keep the glasses; they cost three dollars each!

I liked Up a lot, but then again I didn't mind Cars. I thought Cars was a bit lame though. I had no idea what Up was about when I went to see it, so maybe having no preconceptions or anything helped. I saw it in 3D as well and will agree with your assessment there. Also I'm biased towards Pixar movies

Wall-E is great.

Revolutionary road, 3/10, lousy movie. Poor acting, dumb story, pretentious stupid message.

Juno - 7.5/10

Ok, but was expecting better after all the publicity this movie got. Lightweight humorous movie about a girl getting pregnant...yawn.

 

[xenithon]

Knowing - 5/10

It was really thrilling and enjoyable until around 20 minutes from the end....it was all downhill from there.

 

[charliex]

Last movie I went to a theatre to see was... JAWS...really!

Public Enemies: Some bad acting, some cheesy lines, a little slow - - but an alright and interesting movie.

Ice Age 3 3D, 10/10... Just can´t get enough of those characters and the new ones are superb as well.

I was worried about squirrel for a while but he got his head together in the end.
