i watched sucker punch yesterday. this movie gets a 9/10 from me.
it had good atmosphere, very nice action scenes and a deep, thought provoking plot and acting was good all-around. what really was the work of the girl's imagination and what was reality? i feel like the lesson in the film was that friendship is the kind of ship that never sinks. in summary i would rate this movie a little below godfather I and II but a little above godfather III

Prometheus Reviewed...Did you... ? • Ever enjoy watching a zombie movies where one character gets infected, and the other characters just pretend it didn't happen until he goes zombie and fucks up everyone's shit? • Like the part in Starship Troopers when Denise Richards gets stabbed through the arm, and then picks up a gun a minute later like nothing happened? • Enjoy watching Twister when the protagonists ran from the tornado while staying in its path, instead of just moving to the side if he knew where it was going? - (or any part in any other movie where some dumbass character turns and runs 50 feet in a straight line and gets crushed by something 5-feet wide) • Like it in Lost when one character would, like, kill another character's love interest, and then 3 episodes later they would be chill? Like they just forgot that it happened? • Like the Matrix 2 and 3? Minus the fight scenes? • Like Signs, or love any and all Mel Gibson movies? (Especially for the dialogue?) If so, then you will LOVE Prometheus. Prepare yourself for an hour and a half of not-very-compelling chicken-before-the-egg talk before some poorly developed characters suddenly die for reasons that are never really all that clear. And if all that wasn't bad enough, there are no tits in this movie (unless you count pecs). Everything here is underwhelming, and I wasn't coming in with high expectations. Do yourself a favor this summer and SKIP IT. Unless you loved Signs, in which case knock yourself out. I didn't mind prometheus for what it was. Quite a few undeveloped plot lines and plot holes. Still it was alright. But signs *cruisering* sucked terribly. |

Equilibrium was simply terrible, got myself to watch it yesterday
In some retarded future where theres some drug to remove feelings from people, there is a gay bunch of people called the underground who rebel against taking this forceful drug; and they are literally under-ground (OMG!!!1111)
This annoying guy from batman (some bale guy) is a top ranking agent called clerics and was inspired by his partner last words to him after he got killed by our awesome cleric himself for the crime of 'feeling'
later on he doesnt take his dose, starts feeling, kills a couple of guys in corny fight scenes where while two enemies are being punched, the remaining six stand there, dont shoot and get hit after five seconds. He allies with the underground or something
In the end he goes to meet the leader of the new world his new partner plays him (director ~ ooh im so *cruisering* smart)then finally after a little more fighting our cleric gets guns (out of nowhere) from his sleeves (yes, after they had screened him to meet the most important man of the world, he takes out *cruisering* pistols which never showed through his clothing) and kills guards and slices the face off his partner. only that it finally slides off after 10 seconds (omg we didnt see that coming) and the animation is so pathetic it would be better made on windows 95
Gay movie

equilibrium is super cliched and rips its plot from about two dozen science fiction novels and movies, and Kurt Wimmer is a terrible directer (proved this with Ultraviolet). He is also a hack hollywood screenplay writer: Check out all these screenplays he's written. AND the movie is just more of the same myth of redemptive violence.... Despite all this, I'm still going to say I loved Equilibrium. Basically because the movie develops slowly and it has this scene in it, which makes up for everything- in my imagination. I also love this sequence (the first one minute) Because in it the Preston character reveals his lust for violence. One can clearly see that he's enjoying massacring the helpless guards, and is in fact no better than they. The soundtrack in this youtube version kind of ruins it, but in the original it's very clear that there is this appalling overtone to the manner in which the cleric employs his pro-imperialistic gun-kata for vaguely selfish ends. I think there's some bach playing in the original. And yes, the ending does suck, but the director didn't know how to end this movie. If he were a good Russian director, it would probably have ended with the rebels being revealed to have been supporters of the fascist metropolis government and Preston would have been committed for reprogramming. But Kurt Wimmer is a hack. That is all. |

kill bill 1 : This movie has the most boring fight scene in history. It lasts over 45minutes. All style and no... well nothing else. Watching this movie is like watching a painting for 2 hours. Boring as hell.

paid in full
gangster movie, found it surfing netflix. one of the guys sounds, talks and acts like 50 cent, I think he's the main protagonist. If you don't like black people you probably won't like this movie. plenty of twists, turns, gunshots, money and drugs. oh yes
3.3/5
the departed
gangster movie, classic tale of whitey buldger starring jack nicholson and a couple overpaid actors. i like the scenes with the cocaine.
"When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"
5/5
a beautiful mind
one of the better movies on schizophrenia involving a true-life story of John Forbes Nash, a Nobel Laureate in Economics, who's developments in game theory and a whole bunch of other academic proofs and work ensured his legacy in history books.
5/5

The Party (1968) - Peter Sellers plays a hapless Indian actor who gets invited to a Hollywood party at a big mansion and then proceeds to spend the whole film looking for the bathroom. Classic. 10/10

Highlander (1986) - Christopher Lambert plays a 300 year old Scot with a French accent. Sean Connery plays a 3000 year old Egyptian masquerading as a Spaniard with a thick Scottish accent and a horrible wardrobe. The Kurgan is easily the most bad ass villain ever. Classic Queen soundtrack. Highlander won the Academy Award for Greatest Movie Ever Made. 10/10

Highlander was so great.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE
Lambert's character is a lot older than 300 years though- the flashback sequences take place in a vaguely medieval setting, judging from Sean Connery's costume, likely circa 1450 AD or there abouts.
