Ted -  Peter Griffin voice aside, this was obviously a McFarlane movie because it was like watching a 90min live action Family Guy, complete with pop culture references, insult humor and cutaways.  It had some funny moments but it was straight up cookie cutter and had no business being made.

Lovelace - It's really hard to farg up a movie about porn and it's first real star, but this one found a way.  I'm pretty sure that at some point during the movie I'm supposed to feel sorry for Linda Lovelace, but the movie just never got me there.    Lovelace's story is that she was forced/manipulated into doing porn but the movie does a terrible job of portraying it and Lovelace seems like a more than willing participant in most of what's going on.  It wasn't terrible but it definitely could have been better.

You know, I love Sarge, but WTF? 

A movie about porn and he bitches about the story.  A movie with Mika Kunis in it and he's bitching about the fake teddy bear.

Booooo.

i'm watching some awful movie called john tucker must die but it might be the hottest cast of women of all time.

brittany snow is supposed to be the ugly one.

12 years a slave - this isnt a movie but rather an experience. its insanely well done and well acted and feels as real as anything but its not a MOVIE per se. like its the type of thing thats going to be shown in high school classes from here to 2090 but im not sure its something that should be winning awards. it has zero replay value and is just harrowing from beginning to end. but omar was in it. anyway really it was amazing and an absolute must watch, even for people like dio who wouldve probably been a slave catcher back in the day 4.5/5

nebraska - now this was a movie. alexander payne is a farging genius. no one does mood, tone and feel better. the acting is out of this world...not only from the main people but from the side characters. it looks like they found all of them in wyoming or something. the mom (june squibb) is the best thing ever and will take best supporting actress. will forte is legit good and i have no idea how or why that happened. hands down the best movie ive seen this year. not even close. 5/5
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

inside lewellen davis - classic coen bros.....unfortunately not one of their better ones....i suspect people will either love it or hate it....youll love it if you like a movie filled with eccentric weirdos that only the coens can create....youll hate it if you dont like character studies with no plot whatsoever

4/10

The Desolation of Smaug was awesome. my only gripe is they changed a lot about when Bilbo goes into the mountain and talks with Smaug, which was one of my favorite parts of the book. But overall it was really well done and better than the first, IMO

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

american hustle - so painful....scorcese ripoff/homage whatever you wanna call it that contained over two hours of nothingness which led to a bleh "twist" at the end...acting was very good but literally nothing ever happened except for tiresome relationship drama.....i am not an action movie person at all but this thing was just ridiculous

5/10 for the movie, 3/10 for the awful overdone accents?

The man. The myth. The legend.

i did not understand the love for this movie. i found it bland and somewhat boring. never really went anywhere. perhaps best summed up by david o. russell himself: "i dont care about story. i care about characters."
