It was sufficiantly entertaining, I enjoyed the Pixies cover at the end chase scene

Witches of Eastwick - Not sure how I sat through this.

Metagraffiti - Interesting collection of unconventional graff films. To explain any would just spoil it. Particularly good were the Cleaning Unit, Magic Colorz, various animations and the Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal bits. Recommended!

KICK-ASS: fucking great

Bulworth.

I loved it.

Devil 6/10

It was like a skeleton of a M Night Shyamalan movie with no love for the details.

well, he wrote it

8/10

carey mulligan is amazing.

last year at marienbad -- 9/10

really fantastic film. i recommend it.

The American 6/10

some okay paranoia moments, but mostly dull. i didn't care much about any of the characters and didn't buy the love story. either it didn't get as deep as i wanted, or i failed to recognize its depth. was really pleased that it wasn't a 60s spy movie, but that's it.

We share the same opinion of that movie, but you are far too generous with the number score. 6/10 denotes a film having at least a couple redeeming qualities. Tell me something good about it or I shall have to revise your score to match mine, which was a very kind 4/10.

Dear Zachary - Hard to review this one critically without seeming insensitive. Obviously a gutwrenching and infuriating tragic story, but ultimately I couldn't connect with it since, well, I didn't know the guy. A deeper examination into the murderous girlfriend's past may have been helpful, or why the courts goofed the custody case so badly. I also found some of the shock-editing and sound effects to be really exploitative and callow. (I took it the guy was a first-time filmmaker, so maybe that's why.)

I dunno, maybe I'm just a jerk/10

I wanna shoot a few extra mulligans on Carey Mulligan.

I just watched NLMG & for me it was 8.66 slow heartfelt tween school girl tears out of 10

Never let me go 9/10

Black Swan 8/10

Somewhere 7/10

despicable me - quite good

true grit 8/10

at a couple points the dialogue from some characters (i think chaney and the guy with the bear suit) started to feel like they were just being read off a script but other than that great movie.

Jonah Hex - true fun/10

i love unserious movies

Splice - Complete popcorn movie, some good effects, not all that great though. Had this amazing knack of turning the more serious scenes in to all out laughfests.

This was like a David Cronenberg film. If David Cronenberg was hit by a cricket ball and lost most of his brain function.

Also I found it really hard to concentrate on the film with Adrien Brody's nose taking up two thirds of every shot.

The Tortured - A complete bag of shit. Worst twist ever. Horrendous acting, laughable plot, crap music. An absolute must see.

i didn't regret watching it and didn't turn it off or get up to do something while watching, so scoring it sub-average didn't feel right.

i save those below 5 scores for movies that i would never see, like tyler perry's: pigeonholed culture wedding or larry the cable guy's: southern people II

i also had smoked a blunt so...
