Basically this movie here has been done before… take Crash and take out the racism and the Oscars… it even takes place in LA just like Crash. Well we got a dried up looking Ray Liotta, A somewhat naked Jessica Biel, Forrest Whitaker in his normal role, and the final role of Patrick Swayze looking very Ziggy Stardust.
If it was good enough for Crash to get some Oscars it’s gotta be good. Good it was. 6.5/10.
This one totally swooped under my radar when it came out in 2008. This is your typical Zooey Deschanel movie, with her typical quirky role. It wasn’t bad or anything, just sort of bland. A surprising appearance by John Goodman, wow he’s lookin rough! Anyway yeah… movie… bland… slightly better than average.
I have to put this one in the watch the blockbusters first, then when you need to fill some time watch this one category. Maybe that’s how I missed it on my radar last year. Go figure. 6.3/10.
While the big names in this one are just supporting roles (Jeff Daniels and Maggie Gyllenhaal), the stars are known-yet-lesser-known Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski which I have to say are WELL casted for this movie.
Quirky sorta artsy movie but I dugg it. I don’t really have much to say about it but I recommend netflixing it. 7.2/10.
Awesome, yeah that’s how I’m opening this one up. Well played Mr. Gerard Butler. Not so well Jamie Foxx =( Who else we got? oh yeah Bruce McGill. Anyway without Gerard Butler I’d say this movie would have done way worse, the other roles were kind of weak. Anyway… awesome action in this one, good mystery, bravo! I only got two problems with this movie, one, how Hollywood always thinks the good guys should win in the end, me personally I think the bad guys need to win a few now and then, and the last is minor but district attorney’s shouldn’t be playing detective… c’mon.
Watch this one, if you can still find it in theater’s go, if not add it to your netflix asap or hell it might be worth a friday night PPV. Solid 8.0/10.
Well here’s another example of a movie that could have been better. First off, I don’t think this is a good role for Sandra Bullock, toss in 2 guys from The Hangover, Bradley Cooper and Ken Jeong, A familiar yet still a nobody M.C. Gainey, and I haven’t seen Howard Hesseman since WKRP in Cincinati! And you get a mixed bunch of something that looked good on paper. It’s supposed to be a comedy but it wasn’t that funny, and at the end it turned into some touchy feely stuff.
I gotta go on the low side and drop this one down to maybe a 5.2/10. You’ll end up seeing this movie on TNT I’m sure so don’t even bother renting it.
Wow, lot’s of familiar faces in this one. Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Ben Affleck, JK Simmons, David Koechner, and even Gene Simmons!
I thought this movie could be better. It was ok, pretty funny… But there was some parts where you’re like… really? are you that stupid? stupid in the name of comedy? Ok I get it…
Anyway, it was entertaining, not stellar but entertaining. I’m going to give it a 6.3/10.
I’ll get some more up, I been nerding out on star trek online.
Another Cuba flick… I decided to make it a double Cuba header night! This is a TV movie for TNT, and it plays out like one but it was good, they did a good job with this one, based off a true story. I enjoyed it. I still wouldn’t get excited over it but it’s a touching film, has some laughs. Do like me add it to netflix and squeeze it in sometime. 6.5/10.
Cuba Gooding Jr., I haven’t seen him in any movies in awhile… The movie started off kind of slow but turned out to be pretty good in the end, mediocre. Definitely nothing special going on here. I could see adding this to your netflix queue but don’t go out of your way for this one. 5.8/10.
