The Adventures of Tintin

9/10
Batman Begins
Saw it yesterday after my brother (Wilson who has helped animate my last two films) got it on Blu-Ray for Christmas.
My third time watching it, and I really, really love it. 
Clever storyline, and amazing execution, topped off with a delightful cast and a few funny scenes. Bale is my favorite Batman ever.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
It wasn't my first time watching this but I liked it just as much as the first time. It's not my favorite HP movie but it's still an awesome one.
Spiderman
And yes, it was my first time watching this. I enjoyed it very well. Tobey MacGuire was perfect for the role. However, The Amazing Spiderman is going to be released next year, and I bet they're going to ruin it. 
The Adventures of Tintin (To add to the other 5 or so reviews)
For those of you who have read the comics, it roughly covers The Secret of the Unicorn (1942-1943). The film is faithful to the overall story of the comic it's based off of, but also contains lots of added material that make for an overall excellent film. It also contains lots of passive references to Hergé's other Tintins and Hergé's artistry style, including an appearance of a character who didn't originally appear until 1962 (the opera singer). Also included is a cameo of Stephen Spielberg.
The cinematography and render quality was phenomenal. Everything looked highly believable, while maintaining elements of the distinct styling that Hergé was famous for. There was indeed a sense of fear for heroes' lives that developed as the film progressed.
The voice casting and acting was done extremely well, particularly for Haddock, and for Thomson and Thompson. While Tintin's voice was excellent, I feel his accent should have been less English and more Flemish. He is Belgian after all.
In short, if you haven't yet seen this film, go see it as soon as possible.
The Adventures of Tintin
Just saw this movie about an hour ago, and it was fantastic! 
Overall the movie was pretty spectacular. My favorite part was when
Haddock and Tintin (And Snowy of course) are escaping the ship

Great to see Tintin reviews flooding in. I didn't notice the Steven Spielberg cameo, gonna check that out next time when I see it. And I think it was best he didn't have a flemish accent. It would just have sounded weird, I think. English English was the best choice, it's European and... english.
I'm going to see it it tomorrow.
Lucio Fulci's Conquest
This movie is !@#$ awesome. Very incoherent and almost nothing is ever explained, but there's something nice about the simplicity of it. It's just a gory, fun fantasy/adventure film with lots of awesome stuff in it. It's almost like an adult kids film, in that it's basically telling a story that would appeal to children, but in a way that includes boobs and gore. I especially liked that the story allowed for random monsters to appear throughout without explanation, so you end up getting talking werewolves, cave-goblins, random evil guys, a naked witch, a magic shape-shifting demon man, and even evil bushes that fire poisonous arrows at you. It's a really fun movie.
My only complaint is that he really overused those fog machines. I mean, really.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
This film from 1989 (I think) is quite funny. Some of the jokes are really lame and to be honest over used, like in the beginning when a driver flips of another dude. If you like shows like Family Guy and Southpark or like crude humor then you'll enjoy it. Otherwise not so much. I give this a 3/5
Inception
Pretty awesome, huh?
Mr. Popper's Penguins
It was decent. I'm glad the penguins didn't talk, I'm tired of those gasp-the-animal-can-talk movies. I think it's funny how
Mr. Popper's first reaction was to get rid of the penguins though later on, the penguins are what keeps his family together.
The acting was pretty good, so was the story. Though, at one part,
a penguin tripped a man pushing a metal water barrel and the water spills over and the penguins start to slide down. The problem is, the water goes on forever and it doesn't spread out away from the wall.
So overall, I give this a 7/10.
Pretty awesome, huh?
Yes. 20th time watching it and I'm still not bored/confused with it.
Adventures of Tintin was amazing. /nuff said

I don't care for FG or Southpark, and thought the movie was still hilarious. While some of the jokes couuld have been better, I thought it was an overall good film.
"It's all a part of the experience, dear."
Django
Even better than I was expecting. So badass. Probably one of the best westerns I've ever seen.
Contamination (AKA Alien Contamination, Toxic Spawn)
I actually really enjoyed this. Surprisingly original and creative for an Alien knock-off. The story was pretty interesting and a lot of fun, and you could definatley see the inspiration from '50s sci-fi. Plus, never realized that Ian McCulloch could actually act, his monologue about the Mars mission was actually pretty darn good, if not a little over-the-top.
City of the Living Dead
Aside from the pretty stunning set-pieces, I never really got that into this one. Definatley had its moments, but there were too many characters, I think, and the scenes didn't really seem to inter-lock very well. Half of them were actually pretty redundant (the guys at the bar?). This kind of thing worked with Conquest, but not so much here.
LOL IMO Inception is overrated, I'd pick Shutter Island any day.
Priest (2011)
I'm pretty sure if you'll watch it, you will regret wasting your precious time. A really really bad movie, the plot is so cliche, the acting is pretty darn crappy and even the action scenes aren't helping one little bit. TERRIBLE!
2/10 (it's a Christmas miracle I'm not giving 1)
Definitely, Maybe
For it's genre a pretty good movie since it is a little bit more original than most of it's genre-buddies. Overall I liked it, but (Warning!) I'm a Ryan Reynolds fan (hated Green Lantern though)
6/10
The Adventures of Tintin 3D
I absolutely loved it.
It is now one of my all-time favorite moves.
11/10
Sherlock Homes: A Game of Shadows
Pretty enjoyable film. I really liked the story/comedy/effects. They had some really clever stuff here. I'm not sure if I like it more than the first or not, but enjoyable all the same. I really like this newer re-imagination of Holmes, even though I'm a huge fan of the books, and read every Holmes story in two months.
Also, Discombobulate has got to be one of the best themes ever.
I N C E P T I O N
Just finished watching it again, the first time being almost exactly a year ago. I really, really love this film. The style, the story, the music, nearly everything is wonderfully clever. I wish there were more movies this good.
Only thing I'd criticize would be a few plot holes (they shouldn't have gravity in the snow dream if there is none in the hotel).
BUT IT'S STILL SO EPIC.
