First I've heard of this. After a quick trip to imdb this is at the top of my list. I can't wait.

Pretty damn ridiculous, but then that was the point i guess. It was pretty funny when the dude showed up with the flame thrower, and they gave it a somewhat nice ending. Overall id say its a pretty dumb movie but it was a fun watch

Carnival of Souls (1962)

Somewhat effective B horror movie for 1962

Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993)

Woody needs to come back to NY. This was fun.

Lifeforce.

Usually, I can put up with crappy movies. This was just seriously boring. And the jump from vampires to zombies made no sense.

Nice titties though.

Pacific Rim. Thought it was pretty terrible. But I love Idris and hope this movie makes his career take off.

Too bad del Toro insists on making cheesy action movies. I loved The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth.

Phar Lap - A tale of the greatest racehorse who ever lived; bred in New Zealand and trained in Australia. Set in the 1930s. 7/10 on imdb.

gravity


One of the great accomplishments in cinema, no doubt, and Sandra Bullock gave a great performance. But I didn't receive that emotional gut punch, that spiritual awakening/rebirth that the movie pushed for (that worked so well in Castaway). I wanted to feel something so strongly, but in the end I more admired the work than anything else.

And I heard it's better in IMAX 3D, so if you get a chance...

Citizen Ruth.

Laura Dern is brilliant...what a great performance. Great casting..Kelly Preston! Tippi Hedren, Kurtwood Smith, Swoosie Kurtz...and Burt Reynolds...A movie with fucking teeth.

I agree with Harry Lime regarding Gravity. It's a spectacle to watch but in the final third I wasn't sucked into it like I had hoped. Maybe because there was so many moments you think "how did she hang on?" or "how did she survive that?" that the implausibility strains whatever emotion you feel tied to the character.

Gravity. Wow! It's amazing how a movie can be such a cinematic experience yet feels so small and intimate at the same time. Yes, the tension and "roller-coaster ride" will get all the press, but it's the small moments that will stay with me. I disagree with Randy and Biff. I felt a huge emotional connection. And that connection was earned in both those small moments and the ordeal she went through. Bullock deserves the Oscar she's gonna get.

Cuarón, I love you.

Yeah, Gravity is pretty darn good.

Don Jon sucked. Don't know why I expected better.

I watched Star Trek Into Darkness, and then Wrath of Khan. Into Darkness was better, but Wrath of Khan nearly made me cry at the end (I remember all-out-bawling as a little kid).
