Changeling(2008)

Good acting, but very long drawn out movie. This definitely isn't for someone who is easily bored. Eventually it went on for so long that I stopped caring about the conclusion and cared more about when the damn thing would be over. If you are really patient with movies I could see you liking it. It had some strong points.

C/10

Ignore the neanderthal. The movie was excellent, well written. Hell, I even liked Jolie in it, and she couldn't act her way out of a box for the most part. What's really interesting, if it wasn't completely true, I'd argue it was a contrived melodrama. Dio, in particular, will love just how awful and corrupt the LAPD was in the late 1920s.

more awful and corrupt or less awful and corrupt?

Quantum of Solace:

Not as good as Casino Royale on pretty much every level except for action. This has a lot more action, but the story wasn't as good, the bond girl has less of a role, and they didn't make it so you really cared enough about the villains in this to really root on Bond. Overall Casino Royale just flowed a lot better and was the better movie. Still a movie that is worth a watch, and Craig is still the man.

not as good as Casino Royale/10

Pineapple Express

There were a few solid LOL moments.

2.5/5

probably a 7/5 if I were high

pineapple express was virtually unwatchable

nick and noras funfest emporium or whatever it was called - pretty decent jud apatow like comedy...cera cracks me up...really if you didnt know differently you would have thought it was an apatow movie...it was better than 40 year old virgin and pineapple express and not as good as knocked up and superbad

6/10

Did you try it while smoking weed?

No Country for Old Men

Pretty awesome. Really hated the bad guy. I've seen him two movies and he plays the slime ball to the T. Really hoping he'd get it in the end but I like that it wasn't the typical story line.

Phantasm. Good.

70s horror > your face

Pineapple was a lot funnier than Tropic Thunder which was released around the same time IMO.

James Franco who I usually hate was hilarious. Rogan though was his typical hit and miss self. Too much "bro" in his blood.

ice grillin you · February 21, 2009, 11:29:06 PM

james franco was an atrocity in that movie...the only thing worse than his acting is his comedic acting...who the hell thought it a good idea to cast him in a funny role

He did start off as a comedic actor in that show Freaks and Geeks.

Mad Max: Equal parts retarded and ridiculously awesome. Like a cross between Death Proof and The Warriors only not as good as either.

Tropic Thunder: Equal parts retarded and ridiculously hilarious. I enjoyed it way more than expected.

"The Ten"

Yeah, it was one of those campy 70's Quienten CTarantino type movies.

shorebird · February 22, 2009, 05:10:12 PM
