2010: The Year we make Contact.
That was the most epic thing I'd ever seen. How dare Beverly hills chihuahua call itself a movie when there's this work of art.
I didn't think it was directed as well as the other though. Because, I liked how in 2001 they conveyed things without words and in this one they talked too much and bruought in too much politics, altough I can see why cuz it all culminated with that beautiful end scene.
That was 5/5 
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory
This is one of my most favorite movies of all time. With a brilliant story, memorable songs, and just so enjoyable.
So much color and fun. Random hilarious stuff and great puns. When ever I watch this movie a get this really wonderful happy feeling inside. 
The ending is especially great. Makes me want to cry. :')
I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!!

It's a silly little cartoon that my brothers and sister were watching.SURELY you don't mean the MASTERPIECE by Don Bluth?
Oh, and I just saw True Grit (2010) at the theater, which just reopened with AWESOME stadium seating.
Well it may be a masterpiece to some people...but it was a pretty silly little movie to me.
I'm probably the only person who thought 'True Grit' was OK. Really, it did nothing drastically different from the original - which I thought was an average western. I hated how they cut Tom Chaney actually committing the murder, since it removed all my desire to see Mattie get her revenge. In the original, Tom Chaney is just a drunk idiot who isn't really that threatening - but we know its SUPPOSED to be that way since we see Tom Chaney murder Matties father and see that Chaney is drunk. I saw the 2010 version before the original, so I when I first saw Chaney I thought "Um, is this guy supposed to be evil? Because he looks and acts like a drunken fool. Are we supposed to want this guy dead? Because apart from when he hold a knife up to Mattie at the end, he's pretty harmless..."
The only thing it really changed was the ending. It felt like it was deliberately going against the whole 'ride off into the sunset thing', and it made me feel like I had wasted my time. I felt like the whole point was that Mattie's revenge would be satisfying, since we are clearly meant to back her. The ending would have worked if Mattie was more like the Mattie from the original - who I much preferred because she was way more vulnerable and actually seemed upset about her father. But it just left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I like non-happy endings when they are justified, but this just felt wrong to me.
Maybe its just down to taste. Honestly, I think a re-make of True Grit was unnecessary. I found the original average and thought the only thing that could have been improved/updated was the Cinematography and the Acting - which it was. I will say that the acting in the 2010 version was brilliant all-round. But I thought the original True Grit was a bit of a weak film, and not good material to re-make since the only way you could drastically improve it was to completely change it. Its like if they did a re-make of 'Hang Em' High' - its a pretty good movie, but there is very little that can be improved.
Now, Quentin Tarantino is doing a Western based off-of 'Django' - which is an excellent source material, and I can see Tarantino doing a Django spin-off/sequel/prequel/whatever because 'Django' is one of the more violent westerns and seems within his style. In my opinion, that is how you adapt a Western into modern-day...
@Max
If you think of Mattie more as an antagonist than a protagonist you might enjoy the movie more.
@Max
True Grit was a novel; the 2010 film is just a readaptation of the novel; it's not really considered a remake.
Though, if we're going to be comparing both adaptations, I prefer the 2010 one. Mostly because Mattie isn't as annoying as in the 1969 film, and I just found the technical aspects of the 2010 film better than the 1969 one. The new one was much closer to the novel. About Tom Chaney; that's sort of the point. He's supposed to be a drunk idiot.
"I didn't think you'd do it!"
Though, it's definitely a different type of Coen Bros. film.

The 2010 definatly leaves you cold with mattie all being alone and loosing her arm
, but I think the point of it all was that revenge doesn't solve anything and doesn't lead to a happy ending at all.
Indepedance Day.
Never heard of it. Is it like Independence Day, only without Will Smith?
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Overall this was an all round good pirate movie. The film consisted of two stories. One of the the fountain of youth and another of the mermaid/catholic priest guy love story. Finally they have made a funny, Johnny Depp movie and it worked out perfectly. The effects were nice. The only problem I saw was the beginning titles. It was almost as horrid as a Windows Movie Maker title. Well not that bad but it could of used a lot of work.
Battle: Los Angeles
Eh.....Didn't really like it.

I completely agree... The screenplay was quite bad in my opinion. Also, the effects, though good at times, came across as looking fake very often.
I hated that movie too. Some parts were really cheesy, like:
*drags alien body across floor* "WE HAVE TO FIND OUT HOW TO KILL THIS THING." "Maybe I can help, I'm a veterinarian."
And:
*scared little girl crying* *soldier pulls out flashlight* "Hey. It's ok! Look at this!" *flicks flashlight on and off*
Anyways the last movie I saw was Back to the Future Part 1 & 2
It's my first time watching these. I haven't been disappointed by either of them. Hope the 3rd does the same.
Ocean's 13
Meh.
The first one was by far the best.
3/5
About Tom Chaney; that's sort of the point. He's supposed to be a drunk idiot.
I know - its just in the original we saw that Mattie's Father's murder was more like manslaughter. Throughout the original we know he's a drunk idiot, whilst the re-make (I know about the book, but I'm calling it a re-make because its just less confusing for me) builds him up to be a legitimate threat, but when I actually saw him I thought "He's not a threat". And I guess that's the intended effect, but they continue making him look like a threat and Mattie and still thinks he's a threat. One thing that really annoyed me was when Mattie and Chaney had to wait at the camp-site alone together. This could have been a great opportunity for the two to have some kind of exchange and to build the character of Chaney - but nothing really happened. It felt as though a scene had been cut out.
I will admit I have not seen the movie since January (wow, this year has gone fast), so maybe I just need to watch the movie again.
Obviously the technical aspects are going to be better. The original was a made in the 60's....
There's plenty of old movies I find better in technical aspects than I do in a lot of films out today... Blackboard Jungle is one example, from the '50s.

I thought him being a drunk moron made him threatening,especially because he had a temper and was too dumb too control it.
