Skyline

If Cloverfield is a D-, then Skyline is the C+ version. If these dorks had tweaked their script a little here and there, added some character growth, then we'd have a real movie on our hands.



As it is though... the movie ends and I laugh. I say to my husband, "It's like a four year old wrote it."

Best line:
"I hate L.A." Yes, yes. We all do.

Harry Potter and the Book that Sucked: Part 1

So, I love Harry Potter. I love books 1-4 and 6. 5 was boring, 7 was awful. AWFUL! Why you ask? Because it was a cop-out horrible ending, and a boring book... a boring book so boring that it was more boring than book 5. Plus, JK Rowling, way to kill off ALL of my favorite characters! (SPOILER- Serius, [albeit, he died in book 5... darn that book 5.] Fred Weasley, [the funnier of the Weasley twins.] and Bellatrix Lestrange, [WHO, by the way, I was thinking should be cast as Helena Bonham-Carter and then WAS.])

So, I'm curious to see how crap-tastic this movie is. Will it be as bad as the book? It's not like any of these movies are better than their book counterparts....

The good thing is is that I've only read this book once, and don't remember it entirely well, so the little things that happen will surprise me.

Cross fingers! Please, don't suck!

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

To be fair, I didn't make it through the end of this movie. I gave it a really good shot though. Even though my husband kept saying, "This movie sucks!" I still kept watching. But, eventually, I had to leap off the couch and turn the stupid thing off.

Yeah, it's Heath Ledger's last film, yeah, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and what's-his-face, (you know, that actor that killed his short career by doing Alexander. Colin Ferrel!) all filled in for Heath, but all this filling-in business makes me think, what was Heath Ledger doing in this movie in the first place? Gosh! It's awful!

You know me. A movie must have a plot. And if it doesn't have a plot, it should at least have the decency to be SHORT!

Megamind

My faith in movies has been restored.

Clean enough for kids. Awesome enough for adults.

Westworld

1973, starring Yul Brenner as a robot you hardly see.

This movie can be described with a simple mathematical equation.

Total Recall + Jurassic Park - Plot = Westworld

It was a fun movie, but there was no plot, there wasn't even a story line. You know how when you watch Napoleon Dynamite and you think, "This is just a bunch of funny stuff that happened." Well, when you watch Westworld you might think, "This is just a bunch of kinda cool stuff that happened." Except it wasn't as awesome as Napoleon Dynamite.

The saddest part was when they killed the guy that looked like Christian Bale. "Batman! Noooo!" (But I don't remember why that was the best part. Seems like a weird thing to say.)

All in all, they were a bunch of larpers! LARPERS!

RED

To quote a better movie, "I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die of not surprised."

As in- I'm not surprised this movie was dull. I mean, I had high hopes that it would be awesome. I hoped it would be like Live Free or Die Hard, or... Die Hard, or The 5th Element, or some other awesome Bruce Willis movie... or even some other awesome Morgan Freeman movie but it wasn't.... It wasn't even some other awesome Helen Mirren movie.

I thought John Malcovich was funny... but he was probably just playing himself.
