Melancholia (2011) - Typical Lars von Trier downer about a pair of sisters facing the end of the world. There is a lot to like about this film in terms of imagery, mood and overall sense of style, but ultimately, it left me a little cold. 1/2 (out of five)

i'm watching the Burn Notice series. i'd say five stars

This thread is for movies, not TV series. Off with your head!

This movie was actually quite good. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Brett Ratner delivered and more than made up for Rush Hour III. And Eddie's actually funny in this! The man ain't been funny in well over a decade. Great movie and worth seeing...

Margin Call (2011) - Wall Street firm reacts to the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008.

2.5/5 - interesting since it's suppose to be historically based but I don't know how accurate it is, it looked historically fitting, even though I can seen the took creative license in some of the scenes, which I wasn't expecting. I thought it was going to have, like they do in a lot of these movies, some girl in skin tight leather doing a lot of martial art moves, that was a relief. But it is violent and brutal, too much so for me. I'm still having a hard time getting over 40 pigs, which was probably the least brutal scene of the dang movie but just the knowledge of that being done in history was unsettling, I just knew they were going to have a giant feast, but oh no, a battle tactic, I felt so bad.

Hey, a Sam Axe fan. I love Burn Notice too, just for a different reason. But Sam is cool, I'm rent his movie or whatever it is about him, soon.

1/2 (leaning towards 4 ) of 5 on both.

Bridesmaid 5 outta 5......that was some funny shit!

i'm glad he's full time on the show. i'm watching season four and hoping the new Jesse character doesn't take Bruce's screentime....

God of Carnage

9/10: Great acting, fascinating to watch! Very funny, too. Christoph Waltz ist great.

I just watched it yesterday and I thought it was fantastic. The first half is in many ways a retread of "Festen" but I thought those kinds of awkward family dynamics during a festive celebration worked even better in this framework. Overall I'd say it's a totally spellbinding study of inner and outer armageddon with great little touches here and there, wonderful performances and an absolutely pitch-perfect tone. If I have to give it a rating it's five out of five.

This movie is so bad it's freaking brilliant!

I give it five machetes out of five machetes.

I've watched a couple recently......

I'd give it a 4/5 [solid film]

I give this movie a 2.5/5 [A Pretty pointless movie to make period]

I've never seen him before or Evil Dead.

evil dead 1 and 2 are the works of bruce campbell and sam raimi. the evil dead movies are cult favorites, faux-grisly spoofs of the horror genre. the follow-up the evil dead series features bruce campbell's character 'Ash' in the movie army of darkness. another of my personal bruce campbell favorites is my name is bruce.

Interesting. Any mutilated women in this one?

"The Unknown" starring Liam Neeson as a guy that awakens from a coma to find his life turned upside down (his wife is claiming not to know him and someone else has his identity).

It was pretty good, overall, but something about the ending left me a little empty. I thought it should have ended differently.

But I would give it 3 stars out of 5.

-

it had me towards the end

i loved it!

Warrior (2011) - estranged brothers find themselves face to face in the fight of a lifetime. the acting made this well worth watching. Hardy's great but Edgerton's sensational. 4/5

Love story set in the 1940's-50's against the backdrop of Havanna, Cuba and the Be-bop scene in New York. Very moving and sensual for an animated film.

Oh, got to check this out!

Two actors go on a road trip to review restaurants for an article, but mostly just chat a lot.

Not much story, but I actually liked this one a lot. It may have went on just a bit too long, but some of the conversations, such as their debate as to how to do a proper Michael Caine impression, were priceless and would hold up under repeated viewings.

4.5/5

Caught most of it on TV, only because of Natalie Wood being on the news recently, but I quickly lost interest in it.

out of 5

I know it's from a different era, but I felt there was too much overacting in it.
