Skyline
Saw this at my grandparents house. Such horrible characters, none of them were likable. I was happy when
they started getting killed. Also, it had such a horrible ending. Just awful.

The King's Speech
Marvelously acted, beautifully shot. What more can be said? Amazing film.

STAR TREK (2009)
The movie was great! Pure entertainment! Many great actors! I was impressed and I'm not really a Star Trek fan.
Source Code
I actually preferred it to 'Inception'. It was complex, but didn't seem like it was being unnecessarily so - like 'Inception'. Its also similar to 'Inception' in how brilliantly it is written and edited. It could have been really hard to follow, but it was so well put together that it both challenged me yet made me not have to analyse. Put simply, it was the first genuine escapism I have had in a while.
Although, it does seem a little....rip-offy.....
Super
Loved it, it's darker then the trailer makes it out to be. Also, Scream 4 review: http://vikverplanken.tumblr.com/
Tommy boy
Quite funny.
Holes
I don't think I laughed even once.
All the same, it was a really good movie.
Have you seen Deja vu? Was it anything like that?
I have not. I shall add it to my 'MUST WATCH NOW' pile, which includes 'The Assassination of Jesse James', 'Twelve Monkeys', 'The Bat', 'Moon', and my entire Alfred Hitchcock collection (I've watched 'The Birds', 'Family Plot', 'The Man who knew too Much', 'Marnie' and 'Rear Window'. 'The Birds' is my favourite so far)
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
What. The. Heck.
This movie was amazing. 'Nuff said.
Arthur
Pretty funny, but with some sexual references. I never saw the old one, so I don't know how good it is compared to that.
I really like when he was telling his story to the kids at the end.
Coraline
Absolutely terrifying. The stop-motion was very good in this.
Insidious
This movie was over-hyped to me, although I jumped in some parts it was never out of fear of the characters on screen, it would be the loud, (and I mean loud) sound effects they used when ever a quick "pop-up" of something ghoulish would show up. all in all it was more of a screamer then a horror film.
Spider-Man 2
I fowgot how cheesey this film is.
I kinda wike it though...

'The Assassination of Jesse James'
My Dinner With Andre
Wow. For a film that's about two guys talking non-stop for 100 minutes, this is pretty darn good. I'm going to rewatch it soon, probably in my top 20 somewhere.
Bill and Ted's Big Adventure or whatever it's called
Urk... I really did not like this. The two main characters are IDIOTS and the storyline is kinda stupid. And it had too many inapropriate parts in it. The only part I enjoyed was when
Napoleon went bowling and started cussing in French

Really? I thought it was a pretty funny movie. They made the main characters idiots on purpose.
Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that the two main characters are kind of dimwitted (I mean, they're basically stoners), which is partly what makes it funny.
Well, I think it's time for another dump of the backlog of movie comments I've yet to make... I really ought to do this more often.
Watchmen
While there was no way this was going to capture the epic scope of the graphic novel, Zack Snyder did a competent job of adapting the source material. I think the criticism that he took too much of the framing from the comic is justified. My favorite part was probably the montage depicting the evolution of the various superhero groups set to Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Changin.'"
Tropic Thunder
Meh. An occasionally-funny trashy comedy. My expectations were not met.
Death of a Salesman (1985)
I understand this was a made-for-TV movie, so I suppose not much should be expected. That being said, the filmmakers really needed to a better job presenting the material as a, y'know, film instead of staying dogmatically true to the blocking/staging of the play. The performances were fine; Dustin Hoffman made a great Willy Loman. That being said, skinny little John Malkovitch didn't really physically fit the role of Biff, an ex-jock, even if he did play the part well.
Gran Torino
Wow. I was blown away by the way this movie presented dramatic character development in a believable fashion; I never felt like characters were reduced to plot devices and the actors played their parts well. This was nicely bookended by the static nature Kowalski's family, who remain the same, obnoxious people we're introduced to in the beginning.
Tron: Legacy
I wanted to love this movie. Honestly, I really did. I'm a fan of the original and all the promotional hype got me rather excited. That being said, I felt like this wasn't so much a sequel as a segway to the next movie. There was too much set-up and not enough resolution story-wise; the movie ended just when the characters started to get interesting. The production design, however, was delightful and a near-perfect update of that unique Tron aesthetic. I also can't praise the soundtrack enough. I purchased it during December when I found it on sale and it was neat to see the way it was integrated into the film.
The Informant!
Matt Damon is the best part of this movie. Not only is his character interesting and fun to watch, Damon turns in a stellar performance. That being said, the narrative and supporting characters are simply not compelling enough to round out the experience. I liked a lot of the production design on this as well. While it was simple, it captured the essence of the late 80s/early 90s and the music was very entertaining in conjunction with what was happening onscreen.
The Fall
Night Owl's reviling of this film has left me curious as to what, exactly, makes it so "really really pretentious." I didn't love it, but I found it enjoyable and, at times, captivating to watch. I liked the unscripted quality of the interactions between Roy and Alexandria and, after discovering him in the television show Pushing Daisies, it was nice to see Lee Pace on-screen again.
Stranger Than Fiction
I liked this one a lot. It was interesting to see Will Ferell, an actor I associate with all sorts of stupidity and silliness, take on a more subdued, yet earnest role. Nearly everything about this movie was quirky in one way or another, and I loved it all. The metastory approach can be quite dreary and, dare I say it, pretentious, but Stranger Than Fiction managed to pull it off well with its interesting array of characters, its unpredictability, and its penchant for absurdity.
Independence Day
Mixed feelings. I want to like it, but there are so many obvious parts the director puts into it, that it pulls away from it for me. Also I have a few problems with some of the plot holes in the movie itself.
How the hell did Hiller and the other guy make it when the debris from the explosion caught up to them? Showing how easily the other people died when a small fire happened, shouldn't they have also had the same fate with such a huge explosion? Also, the president wasn't really a likable character, but they tried to portray him as one. Also, I didn't understand the point of his wife dying but, heck, I can live with that
. For the most part, the movie was predictable, and you could basically guess the ending, however I will admit, I did jump at the
part where they dissected the alien and it pops out and kills everyone
Idk really, there were too many cheesy references to things they had shown at the start of the movie for my liking, (David being a recycling freak and then the saving the world pun, and then at the end, Hiller's fireworks pun as well) Another thing I chuckled about was that, the kids of Hiller and the President were so calm and collected, and then you see all the adults around freaking their butts off. But if I was to compare this to 2012? Hell of a lot more gripping and way better. Best line? Either JIMMY NOOOO, or " I'm not Jewish," "Eh, not everybody is perfect"

The King's Speech
Pretty good. Good story. I mostly watched it to see what happened. Great music though.
