Sci-fi flick full of action and good way to end the summer. Notice my emphasis on "good"... it wasn't grade A, but the CG was really top notch and the acting wasn't bad. Also for a warning this movie was LONG and seemed that way, but it gave just enough time to play out both sides of the fence so to speak...(4 stars out of 5)
(20) 8/5/09 500 DAYS OF SUMMER
Great romantic flick that seemed down to earth, but shows you how love can be funny sometimes. (4 stars out of 5)
(19) 7/25/09 THE HURT LOCKER
A+ movie and directed by a woman! Keeps you watching and even though you had to run to the restroom after drinking that extra large slurpee, you'll want to hang on to your seat so you don't miss a minute. (5 stars out of 5)
(18) 7/18/09 PUBLIC ENEMIES
Johnny Depp's acting was superb as usual, but this movie is anything but memorable. The action was entertaining, but this movie fell flat. (3 stars out of 5)
(17) 7/11/09 BRUNO
This movie was just as I expected, funny, but too over the top... Borat seemed a step above. (3 stars out of 5)
(16) 7/3/09 ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS
Loved this movie, and not just because of the dinos... the jokes kept coming and never let up and there was plenty of action. I enjoyed the original film the most, but this is a good contender. (4 stars out of 5)
(15) 6/27/09 FOOD, INC.
I guess this movie could also go under documentary just like Anvil so i'll probably do both. This movie kept me very entertained and it was informative on where food comes from and how exactly it's processed. Going organic can do wonders, why not try? (5 stars out of 5)
(14) 6/13/09 LAND OF THE LOST
Another terrible movie that made you look at your watch constantly to time exactly how long you have to go until the ending credits roll... (1 star out of 5)
(13) 6/6/09 THE HANGOVER
One of the best comedies of the year, "The Hangover" came to the rescue in June and had us rolling in our seats. The baby was a nice edition... and attack of the scrubby comedians!! (5 stars out of 5)
(12) 5/30/09 UP
This movie was just as I expected... cute, smart, and more advanced CG than the predecessors. Sad at times, but also made you laugh twice as much. Pixar never lets you down! (5 stars out of 5)
(11) 5/23/09 ANGELS & DEMONS
Saw this movie at the theater with friends today, it was okay but I never saw the movie that came before it. I was told you did not have to see "The DaVinci Code" prior since this was a prequel, but this movie was terrible! Not for the ending twist this movie would get no stars. (1 star out of 5)
(10) 5/8/09
Saw one of the best films of 2009 this year, "Star Trek"! I'm not usually big on remakes and ddn't have high hopes for this one but i'm sure glad I went to see it... so good I saw it twice. (5 stars out of 5)
(9) 5/2/09
Saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine at the movies today. It was a pretty good X-Men flick, with you guessed it Wolverine in starring role. He, being my favorite X-Men character like many other fans out there went to see this movie with high hopes. It was a nice ride but not a movie I would like to see again at the theater or on DVD unfortunately. (3 stars out of 5)

Watched "The Killing" today. One of Kubrick's early works, this movie was great and kept you entertained the whole time. (5 stars out of 5)
(7) 4/24/09
Went to see "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" at the old Kendall theatre today. It was a great movie/rockumentary that followed Anvil and their struggle to be recognized among the greats. At the end of the film you really feel their emotion. (5 stars out of 5)
(6) 4/11/09
Saw "Observe and Report" with Vince today. It was one of Seth Rogen's darker films. One person quoted that this movie is what The Cable Guy was to Jim Carrey. (4 stars out of 5)
(5) 3/28/09
Saw "The Watchmen" today with Vince. It was much better than I expected. Looks like they spent a shitload of money to produce all the graphics/FX. Never read the original comic so it was all new to me. (4 stars out of 5)
(4) 2/23/09
Watched "Monkey Shines" today. This movie is from 1988, and directed by George A. Romero. Looks like the guy from office space was in this movie too?
It's a pretty decent horror/suspense flick and ultra cheesy towards the end. But we all like some cheesiness in are horror movies right?? They obviously have disclaimers that "no monkeys were harmed in the making of this film" but seriously who would want one after watching this? (3 stars out of 5)
(3) 2/18/09
Took 2 days but finished the movie "IT" based on the book by Stephen King. It is about a clown terrorizing a small Maine town (go figure). The Movie(maybe a television mini?) was pretty long and I think it even had young Seth Green in it?? I always wanted to see this movie but never had the chance.. I work in a library and they had it to loan so it was perfect! **warning do not watch if you have a fear of clowns** (4 stars out of 5)
(2) 2/7/09
Saw Coraline today in 3D. It was okay, was expecting more but the 3D was great and loved the black cat! (3 stars out of 5)
(1) 1/31/09
Went to see "The Wrestler" today at Davis theater. What a great movie! I also love Darren Aronofsky, the director. According to RottenTomatoes.com he will be directing Robocop in the future! (5 stars out of 5)
