Apocalypse Now Redux - 9/10
Never seen this one all the way through until the other day. Pretty good, beautifully detailed cinematography, although the ending was a little unfulfilling and bewildering. I guess it seemed pretty unfinished, but I guess that's what Coppola in all of his genius was going for. I guess that's the same feeling everyone in America got after Vietnam anyway.

Bruno - 7/10
Didn't have the same start-to-finish side splitting humor that Borat had, but it did have it's moments. Not that many good comedies being put out anymore, but this one actually made me bust out laughing several times, so I have to admit it's better than any of those other pieces of non-comedy wastes of time.

Battle Los Angeles: 8.5/10

Basic war movie but with Aliens instead of Nazi's. Fun to watch. What impressed me most is that I watched it twice with it being a rental & my wife watched the whole thing. She normally sleeps after the first 15 minutes.

I like to describe it as Black Hawk Down with aliens. It was everything I expected and nothing I didn't. I want more!

The resident 1/10

The generic Stalker Thrillers are a very crappy to begin with, but they didn't even try with this one. And to top it all off, they tried to sell it by putting Hilary Swank for the obligitory 12 and a half underwear scenes. Only problem is that she's the reason why the anorexic barbie version of "beauty" doesn't work. In other words, she has a future portraying olive oil in a Popeye sequel.

30 days of night: 2 4/10

Considering that the first one had writing so bad that I still have nightmares of being subjected to it again, this one isn't too bad in comparison. The plot is complete crap and the characters are constantly reacting in nonsensical and illogical ways. However, the up sides are some decent action and a back story that has quite a bit of culture. They make cool reference to lillith, Elizabeth Bathory, and Renfield instead of focusing on generic dracula plots.

They rewrite the first one a tiny bit to insert the Lillith character into the mix, but once again the first one was so badly written that to attempt to keep it's plot intact in a sequel is more of an insult to it's audience than expecting them to accept the first one to begin with. Fortunately the "vegeta vs. freeza" scene form the first one is avoided like the plague. No vampire vs. vampire fights with thinly veiled dialog about "power levels". THANK GOD!

I think the only reason I gave this a low rating was because it only reminds me of how bad the first one was. I'm sure it was a fine graphic novel.

No, you're thinking of 30 Days and 30 Nights. I remember that one. The cunt I was dating in college made me take her to see that piece of shit. The only mildly redeeming part of the movie is the 20 seconds when he starts imagining all the chicks on the street are naked and we get to see some tits.

Priests, 8.5/10

Really really cool, has a bit of comic strip type stuff, then it's not your typical vampire movie.

Transformers 3:

6/10

Long, boring, pretty dumb compared to the others. Movie kinda ends suddenly too, Michael Bay likes doing that. The CGI effects were of course pretty awesome, but that's about the only thing I liked about this one. And Megan Fox > (whatever that long bitches name is). I also noticed the highway scene in this one was reused from "The Island" and used in this one(at the time, I figured to cut costs etc, but found out one of the extras got fucked up during them filming that part for Transformers 3 so they basically gave up on that part of the movie and used the scene from The Island). So after finding that out, I don't blame them.

I never really like the Transformers movie.

I also dislike the Ironman Movies. Too cheezy for me.

I agree with that all, but I thought the large scale action at the end was a little more redeeming. I'd give it an 8/10 based on being willing to sit it out for the action alone.

The Lincoln Lawyer:

9/10

I really didn't think I was gunna like this movie much at all. But the twists they have and Sir Matthew actually being a pretty big badass in this movie made it pretty good. The notch down to a 9 is just simply because the movie is just like Transformers 3, long as fuck and had a few boring parts. I thought the movie was gunna end at 2 seperate parts and it just kept going and going. Other than that, pretty damn good movie.

And ya peewee, you are right about that large action scene at the end of Transformers being a bit redeeming on the movie length. I watched it again with my nephews and they loved it of course so I'd prolly bump it up right where you have it at with a 8/10.

Simpsons Movie: 0/10

The kids have started watching it now. I honestly didn't pay that much attention to it the first time because it sucks. But now that I have to watch it a hundred times, it's utter crap. Nothing in the movie is funny except for the single scene where homer is doing his chores, and even that is rather badly done. Calling it a feature length episode is an insult to the show, even in its current unfunny state. Such a waste of money and time.

I'd dig up my season 1 dvd's but the first season relied on situational satire and word play that my kids won't get. None of the mind-numbing "shock" slapstick (where the slapstick isn't enough so they say "penis" or "I like men now" right after) used in the movie..

The worst part is that short of Homer saying "half-assed" a couple times a season, the original Simpsons was still family friendly. Even MY parents watched it. This movie is an embarrassment to admit I let my kids watch it. I'm considering throwing it away.
