Why? This one was pretty neatly wrapped up at the end.

Awesome. He is still the best director from his generation, by far. And Di Caprio is the best actor from this time.

Jonah Hill surprised me.
imo the movie is kind of aimless and not very compelling during the first half. it only really picks up at the qualludes scene and there I think it becomes a pretty great film. honestly thought dicaprio was not believable at points, but again I forgot all about that at a point.
I loved it. I think its the first movie from Marty were the main character does not need or seek redemption at all.
Di Caprio was pretty awesome for me...at this point i dont care if De Niro comes back to work with Marty as long Leo is around.
Leo is great. I guess he's now the De Niro for gen X/Y(?).

American Hustle

Not quite what I was expecting, but solid nonetheless. Some incredible acting but the script seemed to be a little jumbled. I give it a B.

We're the Millers - A lot funnier than I thought. B

Drinking Buddies - Decent indie drama/comedy. B

Don Jon - Ugh. Not good. I like JGL and Scarlett, but this was terrible. D

Kick Ass 2 - The first one is one of my favorite comic book movies ever, this one does most of things sequels do wrong. That being said, if you don't compare it to the original, it's a decent stand alone flick. Hit Girl deserves her own movie. B+

Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me.

Solid documentary and a nice story. Cool footage from those tribute shows, nice to Stipe there.

Pacific Rim.
I really wanted to like it. They did a good job with the CGI and visual look was impressive but in the end it was a barely okay sci-fi action flick.
