The Amazing Spider-Man
This was good for about 30% then 40% ok and the last 30% just kinda sucked and I lost intrest. I did like the Oscorp building and it was refreshing to have Gwen instead of Mary Jane but it all seemed so unnecessary. If it leads to a "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" movie or Venom/Carnage stuff then it's justified I suppose but as is it's just wankery. I liked all 3 of the last set better than this,felt it was lacking heart. Didn't much care for Garfield's performance either,he was completly and utterly outclassed in almost every scene and it didn't feel like he had the spirit of Spider-Man down.

Ted
This was great then it turned into a cheesey Disney movie towards the end. Seth could've switched up the voices a bit but it did result in one of the better jokes. The last 20 minutes or so it goes from a 9 to a 7. It's worth seeing though. Very good supporting roles. Particularly the grocery store manager and Patrick Warburton.

Crazy, Stupid, Love was corny to me..

I thought it was one of the better movies of its type and kept me interested throughout. Maybe the ending was a little corny but I found it hilarious.


Didn't watch very much with the GF this week but did see the 2nd Sherlock Holmes film which put me to sleep. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind for it. We also saw This Means War which I thought was pretty funny though nothing spectacular. It did keep me interested and the movie did end on a funny note.

Vanilla Sky. Got away from Cruise movies rather quickly, but something came up to entice me to watch it. It was pretty good, until it wasn't. Cruz never hard to look at, though.

I'll take watching Crazy, Stupid, Love with a girlfriend over watching The Notebook every single time.

The Notebook is a quality movie that I've seen once, glad I saw it and now never need to watch it again.

My go-to flicks that girls also enjoy seem to be:

(500) Days of Summer
Up in the Air
Crazy, Stupid, Love
Disney/Pixar movies

I can watch (500) an Up in the Air as many times as I need to and those are romantic type movies.

Finally forced myself to watch 127 Days. Man, what an uncomfortable movie to sit through. The movie was exactly what I thought it would be. It wasn't a bad movie, but one you're glad it finally over.

American Reunion

Thought it was a nice way to bring the original cast all back together told a nice little story too. Enjoyed it.

I watched In Time this morning. If was a essentially a cross between Bonnie & Clyde and Robin Hood. But instead of dealing with money, they are dealing in time as currency. It was a different take on things. I had kind of low expectations but it actually wasn't bad. Justin Timberlake did a good job and Amanda Seyfried was good as his sidekick. I thought Cillian Murphy did a great job as well.

Raid: The Redemption was the absolute action movie of........maybe since.......Transporter 1.

I just watched that last night and my family said the same exact thing about the Bonnie & Clyde/Robin Hood thing. My brother said it was an amazing movie which is why we watched it. The rest of us thought it was kind of a let down though. I thought Justin was kinda awkward as a serious actor personally.

Note: My brother also claimed that Justin Timberlake is the most talented person of our generation... (in the sense that according to him, he's an amazing singer and actor). I think Jamie Foxx wipes the floor with Timberlake acting wise personally, and he's a pretty good singer too. Same goes for Johnny Depp if I recall correctly.

As I said after watching the movie I found it to be interesting and had a good concept to it. I can't remember if I related the fact that its plot is based on a storyline from the old Mandrake the Magician comic strips.

Anyways your brother must have a low threshold for greatness if he thinks that way about Timberlake.

I actually feel the opposite. JT isn't number one but he is one of the more talented performers of this generation, whether you like his music or not. He went from being the poster boy for boy bands and pop music to a more "serious" solo artist to an actor. The guy can sing, dance, act, he can be pretty funny (SNL) and is just all-around very talented.

There are obviously more talented people in each individual focus but there are probably only a solid handful that have the overall talent he does.


And yes, about 15 years ago I would've never imagined myself ever defending JT.

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

Not a movie but....re-watching Heroes season 1 (on HD-DVD). This first season is soooo good, it's sad knowing it went south rather quickly.

Back on topic...watched The Mechanic. Typical Jason Statham action movie.
If you're a fan then you know what to expect. I liked it.

As far as Statham goes, I like Snatch. Most everything else seems like more of the same.
