I think he's meaning in general, your reviews here didn't contain much griping. I agree Night Owl, Mr. Butcher gives some fantastic thoughts/opinions about certain things, when his inner ranting doesn't fog his mind.

I have to say One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is my favourite from Jack Nicholson, though I did enjoy The Bucket List.

Knocked Up
Hilarious movie. They kind of gave the vibe that Pete was wrong, though, I don't think that he was. And I thought it kind of sucked that

The Trip - BRAWL 2012

Effects are the high-point of this film, don't judge it just by looking at the cover, go watch it.

Also, remember that Tron was made around the time CGI effects were starting. For it's age, the effects were great.

In which case, you may like my Rotten Tomatoes Reviews, which are (slightly) more sincere - although I couldn't resist doing an 'Avatar' and a 'Batman: The Movie' review (I wrote the 'True Grit' and 'Paul' ones when the movies came out in the UK, but just now I changed some grammar errors on both). I hope to do these regularly. If you think they are superior to my more informal reviews here, I can just write my reviews on RT and re-post them here.

Meek's Cutoff

Pretty good. While not much in terms of actual narrative substance, it felt like a film that depended more heavily on its sense of scope, which it did well. Nicely shot and evenly-paced, sort of like a 2001 for westerns.

Rio

We went to see it for my brother's birthday. Blech. Classic cookie-cutter story, it's making me sick. People need to come up with something new.

Alice in Wonderland (Burton Version)
Goofy effects, story sidetracks from Lewis Carrol's sequel, just creepy.

Battle Royale

I didn't think a film with this much blood could tell such a compelling story. The ending was a bit lame, but the rest of it was all brilliant.

Norwegian Wood Two grown-up Japanese films in one day, I know right?

This film played itself as really clever and artsy, but to me it felt like it was trying too hard. For example, sometimes there was no audio at all and the shots were so long with a blurry background that wasn't quite blurry enough. The plot just went on and on though; I'm normally good at long, slow-paced movies but there were at least three times where I thought 'Ah, that's the end of the film' (and the actual end of the film wasn't one of them).

Inception Ah, here's something a bit more mainstream.

You know, the reputation this film has is of a brilliant, action-packed sci-fi movie, and it certainly is. But I was really surprised to find that it's actually a touching love story. I would have cried, but the people I was with... yeah. Brilliant (albeit slightly obvious) ending though. Blade Runner called.
