    I love you, Beth Cooper-3/5, The greatness that is Hayden elevates this movie on my scale.

    Going the Distance-1/5, It would have been a 0/5 if not for Charlie Day. Justin Long should never be a lead in a movie. Never.
    I think you underrated the first movie.

    I watched Get Him to the Greek Friday night, it wasn't too bad, had its funny parts.

    And I watched the Green Lantern, kinda disappointed me. I just can't see Ryan Reynolds playing a super hero. The female interest was pretty hot though.

      Green Lantern - Liked it enough to not be disappointed I watched it and I hope it gets a sequel because I feel like it'd be a better movie, but this one just came out at the wrong time. With Thor, X-Men, and Captain America around it, all of which are or look better, combined with the fact not many casual people know about Green Lantern or anything and, well, it wasn't going to be good. Ryan Reynolds was good and Blake Lively looked hot.

      Super 8 - As I posted in the thread, I liked it but not as much as I had hoped. Rushed ending and a lack of personal connection to the movie hurt it. It's definitely worth a watch for anyone, though, and is a good movie. I just wanted to like it more.

      Let Me In - Liked it and would've loved it had I not read the book before. Knowing all of the things they left out and all of that (though, most of them were things I expected to never make it in the American movie) hurt the movie a bit, but it was definitely a good one. Worth a watch, as well.

      Paul - Another one that I liked, though I had very, very low expectations going in so that might've helped. Some cheesy "this comedy needs some kind of emotional plot moments" scenes but other than that, my immature side had quite a few laughs.

      Your Highness - Highly forgettable, which saddens me. Portman looked good and there were some laughs, but no where near Pineapple Express and just...yeah. Huge letdown from my excitement level after the first trailer.

      Limitless - Eh. Don't really have much to say either way on this one. Just another movie.

        Amen--she is ridiculously hot in that one. Lauren London too, yessir.

        I really hated the main character in that movie, though. If not for Hayden it would've been awful.

              Just as an fyi, a "quality nazi" (only term I could come up with for you, not meant as an insult I just know you like the HQ stuff) might not enjoy most of the copies. I've put up with a few..."bad" copies just to see the movies.

                    I enjoyed it for what it was. It gave me 2 hours to turn my brain off and enjoy some action, and in that sense, it delivered. I could have done without some of the overly cliched scenes and plot points, but overall, I had fun.

                    They don't. Try some different ones. Telling you which ones would kinda spoil it though.

                        I'm planning to watch it tonight. I've heard bad things but I keep feeling like I'll enjoy this one.

                          Land of the Lost- Never seen the original series. I thought this movie was so-so. Some funny moments, but not Will Ferrell's best movie.

                          Delta Farce- Good, Stupid humor. I like funny military themed movies and this didn't dissapoint.

                          Taking Chance-HBO film Starring Kevin Bacon based on the true story of Marine Lieutenant Colonel Strobl who accompanies the remains of PFC Chane Felps killed in Iraq to his home in Wyoming. The film takes you from the Mortuary at Dover AFB in Delaware, to the airport in Philadelphia, to Miinneapolis, and to the funeral in Wyoming. Simple film that is very moving. Kevin Bacon played the part perfect. I recommend this.

                            World's Greatest Dad- A big WTF at the kid. Wasn't expecting that to be his personality.

                            The ending was great and Robin Williams can seemingly play any parent role perfectly.

                                Hall Pass - Pretty funny and had one moment that was really hilarious to me. It wasn't as good as I was hoping it to be, but it was still watchable.
