Fantastic Sci-Fi movie, with a very clever plot. JG-L did a really good job as a young Bruce Willis (and the prosthetic make-up was actually very convincing). It also surprised me in some places, turning out to be quite violent and transgressive.
Bruce Willis shooting kids springs to mind
Possibly my favourite film of the year next to TDKR
5/5

Awesome. Loved the little kid.
Agree with you there!
Frankenweenie (2012)
At first I thought, "Oh, another Burton film. Eh, I'll give it a shot." But I ended up liking it more than I thought. Plus, I also wanted to see it because it was stop-motion animation. But, I liked it.
9/10
I always find Tim Burton's characters rather nauseating for some reason.... (U detect the sarcasm?)
The Billion Dollar Hobo
Eh, it was alright. A regular Tim Conway slapstick/comedy movie. Not much more to say.
Frankenweenie
It was a good movie, I love Tim Burton films. It did make me a little sad though because the dog, Sparky, reminded me of my dog that we put down in August.
Battleship (2012)
Didn't see all of it, but I understood the main point of it. When I first saw the trailer, I thought it was going to be super lame. But, it was decent...and better than Transformers. Didn't care for the overuse of all the VFX, however.
8/10
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
Saw this at a sleepover last night. I decided to ignore the fact that it was from the producers of Moonrise Kingdom. This was actually my first time seeing this, and I'd never read the book either, so I didn't know what to expect. Upon it's original release a few years back, I wasn't crazy about seeing it. But, since one of my favorite film composers, Alexandre Desplat, had done the score for it, I decided to give it a shot. It was really funny, but the animation seemed to bug me a little. There were parts that I noticed some light flicker and the characters were moving a little too quickly. I was expecting the animation to be more like that of Chicken Run. don't know if that was intentional (and it was Anderson's first try at stop-motion animation), but it was a top-notch film.

Awesome movie!
Here Comes the Boom (2012)
A film about a big Dutch guy who teaches yoga helps a high school biology teacher fight a big-time wrestler in Las Vegas. Probably the first original thing that Sandler could come up with.
9/10
But, it was decent...
...8/10
This just doesn't correlate well...

How do you mean?
Decency is more so adequacy, and 8/10 is a relatively good rating. I think it would be more appropriate if it were rated 5/10 or 6/10 based on your review.
The Hunt For Gollum
LOTR fan film. Pretty good. Infact, you can watch it for free on YouTube on thehuntforgolum channel. Some of the acting wasn't that good, but the CGI made up for it.
9/10

I saw the trailer they made for that, and I totally forgot about it till now 
. I'm going to have to go and watch it...I remember the trailer looking good!
The Perfect Storm (2000)
It was great, really. And James Horner's inspiring score adds on to its greatness. Except for one thing...
everyone died
. I'm sorry, but I'm used to all those happy endings.
6.7/10
Oliver! (1968)
Well, that certainly was better than Roman Polanksi's overly dark-toned version from 2005. Now, I've learned all the songs and things just in time for auditions for the production at my community theatre. I'll be trying out for the part of the Artful Dodger!
10/10
Sorry, Chris. I fixed it.

1.) You need to expand your genres of movies then if that bothers you.
2.) Use spoiler tags.
Just watched the Hunt for Gollum, thanks for the recommendation, Troodon 
It was alright. I don't really know how to phrase what I didn't like about it, the atmosphere was strange, and I felt there was a general lack of continuity.
Last night we did a Star Wars marathon (original trilogy, obviously), which was freaking awesome. 
They are all amazing (especially looking at today's standard for the genre), but my favorite is the Empire Strikes Back, and I find Return of the Jedi to be the worst of the three. I hadn't seen them in a while, and this was my first time seeing them all like that, so it just amazing, epic, awesome...you get the point. Also, I'm in the process of downloading the despecialized editions, and I'm really looking forward to seeing those.
