Away we go - 2/10

Avoid this, unless you're the proud owner of a very emotional vagina, or need to fool someone into thinking you are one.

Food inc. 7/10

synopsis:
almost everything we eat has some kind of corn product in it. . Average fast food hamburger consists of the meat of 100-1000 cows because of the slaughter techniques now used. The major E-Coli outbreaks pertaining to food is because cows cant properly digest the corn they are fed so new forms of the bacteria grow in their bellys and are shit out and spread on farmers fields...

Summation: dont eat processed food. Organic / locally grown food is better.

If you gave a shit.. you already knew it. Typical Preaching to the choir Doc.

trailer:

Sphere - 6/10

The movie itself wasn't that amazing but I'm a sucker for psychological thrillers with a sci/fi theme. I think the book probably would have been more enjoyable.
Is that the one where they're at the bottom of the ocean? Yeah...the book sucked, too.
Yea, the alien artifact in a space ship from our future. I liked the concept. I was hoping the ending would show that they were actually all trapped inside the sphere and it was all just a projection.

Circque de Freak: the Vampire's Assistant 5.5/10

It was definitely a different take on vampire movies and had a style all its own.

Is it funny or stupid? It's hard to tell from the trailer what it wants to be.

Paranormal Activity - 5/10

Eh, it was alright. Would have been much scarier if I watched it at home considering everyone in the movie theater would not STFU during the scary parts.

Yea, I felt the same way. Alone, totally in the dark, it might have been a little scary.

I'm not against fresh, local, "organic" food. And I certainly agree a lot of the shit we eat could be much better for us. But Farmer's Markets can't sustain the entire world population.

Yeah its tough to tell from the movie what it wants to be too. Its an alright concept with a lot of intentional, over the top cheese. As a family friendly vampire flick its not half bad. As to its place amongst the darker, grittier films of the genre...well, it comes up lacking a little. Still owns the ass off of the sparkly vamps of Twilight though.

I thought it was pretty scary, scariest movie I've seen in a while too. I saw it late last though and the theater was practically empty late Tuesday night so maybe I just got lucky. The only thing I didn't like about it was the way it ended, it almost seemed like they didn't even know how to end it so they did it in the most predictable way and it kinda left me thinking "that's it?" Still 7/10.

edit: haha and dont see this movie with a date. We were having a really good time before the movie and when we came out she was definitely not the same person. It fucked her up and ruined the night.

Cross of Iron
Quoted from site" A very strong anti-war message film, set during World War II and told entirely from the German perspective. A German Army Sergeant doggedly struggles to keep his platoon intact while surviving the horrors of the Russian front in 1943. .
Great war movie IMO 8/10

Drag Me To Hell - 8/10

I had a great time watching this movie. If you enjoy Army of Darkness and Evil Dead 2, you will love this movie.

paranormal activity - 7/10
decent, low-budget horror that actually makes the handheld camera thing work. the story struggles to get going and falters occasionally - but there are some really good scares and it stands head and shoulders above any of the glossy, industrial pop, mtv/s+m crossovers that usually pass for horror.

the objective - -9000/10
pseudointellectual drivel from the same guy that made blair witch and every bit as awful. not so bad that it's good, just so bad that it totally fucking sucks. if the script was rewritten by the committee behind alien 3 and then directed by uwe boll with a soundtrack by hannah montana, it would be a much better movie.

I watched Sam Jackson's horrible rendition of "Shaft" for the first time in a long time. I'd forgotten how utter shit it was. 3/10. :olo:

The most stereotypically racist movie I've ever seen. Every single race was insulted at one time or another in a manner that would embarrass grade school kids. If it wasn't the constant "nigga" in the soundtrack it was the blatant "cracker" in the dialogue.

The thing that made me laugh the hardest (besides that one sequence with the "gangsta" shooting an obviously empty handgun...with sound effects to boot) it was the fact that Jeffrey Wright was cast as a hispanic (and he did a pretty good job of it...probably the only person in the whole movie who decided to act). The reason it was so funny is because he is black, but sounds like a white guy when he talks. I guess he wouldn't fit in with the "standard 70s black guy" so they made him another race. :olo:

Moon: Meh/10

Spoilazzz:

Didn't really care about either sam or sam, but maybe that's my fault. Movie was decent but totally forgettable. It had potential but just left me feeling ambivilent to the whole situation. Why exactly does this evil corporation punch out 3 year lifespan clones, 1 at a time to run this place? The only answer was suggested by clone-sam that they wouldn't want to train someone new every year, easier to just have clones and a inhumane setup where they constantly jam signals and use old video recordings. Why? This just seems like an overly complex answer when in reality I think they'd have people jumping at the bit to go to the moon. Sam really never does much that gerty or other robots couldn't do, either.

Don't get me started on gerty either, some fucked up programming in that robot.

I dont understand how people thought it was scary. You know that something was about to happen because they would fast forward through the first half of the night or just jump right to a later time. Then all but like two of the "scare" scenes progressed slowly enough that there wasn't even shock value. The demon is like "mmmmm yes. i'm going to torture the fuck out of these humans by making them COLD AT NIGHT CUZ I STOLE THEIR SHEET WITHOUT THEM NOTICING LOLOLOLOL." "and now i'll TURN ON THE TV OF DOOOOOOOM." I never felt like there was any sense of danger.

I liked the subtlety of the invisible being and the fact that it became more and more violent from just knocking the keys off the counter on the first night towards the violence shown at the end. I thought it was easier to get engrossed into the movie that way instead of some cgi monster making an appearance and ruining it.
To each their own, but I thought the somewhat slow progression made it more of a psychological horror movie and made me enjoy it more.

I know that it has been generally slated, and the Rotten Tomatoes score is pretty low, but after some good recommendations on another forum I visit, I watched Speed Racer, and thought it was awesome. The trick is to approach it like a Saturday morning cartoon, and watch it like you're a kid.
Don't go in expecting anything deep or meaningful, and you won't be disappointed. It's just enormous fun.

I agree with you that the movie was pretty shallow. However, I do feel that the complete silence and awkward moments the girl had towards the beginning set a creepy tone for the rest of the movie. Once the Ouija board thing happened, the movie took off in a totally different directions, which I thought was a bit ridiculous.

Saw Paranormal Activity last night.

Decent, pretty effective, low budget ($11,000) flick.
Especially the acting of the girl playing Katie made the whole documentary style ring true (plus nice rack to boot).
I have to agree that it never got real scary, though.

My interest was piqued when they watched that clip of the other possessed girl (a la The Exorcist), but then they didn't really follow through when Katie got possessed.
Not that I expected them to wheel out the gallons of pea soup, spinning heads and floating beds, but a little more interaction between a possessed Katie and her bewildered bf would have been more interesting than this sudden, rather anticlimactic ending.
