This is going to be a heck of a long entry cause it covers almost a year since I last said anything about movies. Been a weird year with me moving and all but I have a theater close to my house and with my schedule now being more stable I am going once again. I am going to split this post up to movies from the last part of 2008 that I saw in the theater then everything from 2009 followed up with all the movies that were in thee theater that I have since seen on DVD or some equivalent format.
2008
Tropic Thunder "You never go full retard!" This had its funny parts and a lot of stupid. It's a good i'm drunk and want to see something dumb movie.
Death Race I remember liking this movie when it came out it reminded me of that game we used to play across the lan. It wasn't an overly great movie.
Bangkok Dangerous Stoneface is an assassin. Lucky for him he shouldn't have to show more than one emotion for this role. I'd watch it again.
Lakeview Terrace Samuel Jackson scares me. Yeah that is is. Scary black man is scary.
Eagle Eye Mix of a conspiracy theory with computer ai out to kill / control man. I've seen it a few times now on HBO and whatnot.
Quarantine Virus makes zombies. OooOOooooOOoooo. Don't bother although it had its moments that could make you jump.
The Day the Earth Stood Still I don't remember hating this movie but I don't think I would watch it again. Keanu Reeves isn't the best actor in the world in the first place and the script wasn't fantastic. The metal "locust" swarm was a neat touch.
Seven Pounds LOVED this movie. Will Smith has really shown that he can play a dramatic role very well.
Bedtime Stories I knew this was a kids movie going into it but didn't know too much else about it. It was okay I can see the bits of it where a kid would really like but there was enough to keep me entertained as well. It was very similar to Big Daddy.
2009
The Unborn This one was weird, some nazi prisoner ghost was haunting the women of this family trying to cross over.
My Bloody Valentine 3D Please stab the parts of my brain that remember this. I know that 3D movies are the big thing again but damnit just because you can poke a pickax at the crowd doesn't mean you should. Find a better use for 3D than shoving crap in my face.
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Continuation in the series this one went more into the past of how the Lycans and Vampires assumed their respective roles. Lots of blood and guts.
Taken This movie had me on the edge of my seat for parts of it. I enjoyed it on DVD or was that HBO or something later as well. Either way I have watched this a few times now and will probably stop to watch it whenever I catch it on in the future.
The Uninvited This had a weak plot with just a down right creepy movie attached. The burned up mother was just disturbing.
Friday the 13th Wooooooo remake! It was like the one from the 80's with gratuitous nudity and little plot. Mmmmmm boobs.
Watchmen Comic book movie featuring a giant blue schlong. There was more to this movie like super heroes and stuff but that big blue wang just made me wanna leave. Because of that I rate this chick flick. Add a little of that mosaic action and i'll sit through to the end again.
The Last House on the Left I liked this one. Random murderers find two girls and laughter ensues. Just see it if you get a chance you'll either like it or hate it. I liked it.
I Love You, Man This movie is the definition of cringe humor at points but it really made for a funny movie because of it. I squirmed in my seat a little each time he came up with a bad nick name.
Star Trek WTF?!!?! Uhura and Spock?! What the flying fuck kind of bullshit are you trying to pass off as a classic here Abrams? Alternate time line, okay, the entire senior crew of the enterprise met in starfleet academy, maybe....... Kirk hitting on everything that moved is expected but not that. Just WTF?!?!
Angels & Demons Prequel to the Da Vinci Code. It was a fun movie for people into the whole mystery and conspiracy theory stuff. The bits in there about the Large Hadron Collider and making an anti-matter bomb was enough to pull me out of the movie going wtf but otherwise fun.
The Hangover Go see this. See this many times it has booze and bitches and a surprise at the end for you Zach Galifianakis fans.
Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince The next to last installment of the series and it's dark and oh noes Snape kills Dumbledor. Hermione wants me. I can see it through the screen.
District 9 Robutts from outer space. I was pretty sure I was gonna like this movie and I did it was strange and I want a little robot of my own.
Inglourious Basterds Two words.... bear jew. Damn skippy.
Gamer I thought this was gonna be some crap like Doom but it was actually pretty good and had a cautionary message about technology and just letting people use it without asking questions. I liked the idea of getting myself my very own person to control in a place like the sims. Takes cybering to a whole other level. Really freaky.
Extract Mila Kunis is hot, which is pretty much why I went and saw this. The stupid landscaper guy was just that, stupid. Made me think of other people I know and that makes me chuckle.
DVD
Pineapple Express This is a fun stoner movie similar to Half Baked or the like. I laughed pretty hard watching it.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno "Can you believe THIS shit? That chick frosted me like I was a fucking cake!" Need I say more?!
Inkheart Neat story about characters from books coming to life because the right person was reading their story out loud.
The Haunting in Connecticut The movie was dark and creepy but the story was lacking a little bit. Bonus points for corpses stacked in the walls.
Fast & Furious Okay okay wait a second here you mean this isn't a reprint of the original but a fourth in the series with the same name as the first one?! What genius thought this up? Genius being a very relative term here.
Dragonball: Evolution - This movie is SO bad that I cannot find an official site for it anywhere. The closest I found was this. Clearly fox doesn't want to be tied to this stinker.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine I have no idea if this meets up with the origins of Wolverine in the comics but Stan Lee was listed in the credits so it has to match up somewhat. It was kinda fun to watch but blah also. Gambit was a fun addition to the mix.
Year One I want my two hours back. I am definitely more dumberer for having left this running in the background. What was I thinking willingly turning on a Jack Black movie?
