Oliver Stone didn't direct "The People Vs. Larry Flynt". 

So... worst director ever?

One of the most over rated easily...

I just watched 'Bella'.

Minimum of 8 out of 10.

A dude's past helps this girl make a choice. (can't give away too much incase you're going to watch it....but its worth the watch....). I thought the acting was good, story good and those of you with kids probably can appreciate it a little more.

It definitely tugs are your emotional strings.

Semi-Pro = typical Ferrell movie, had a few laughs, nothing great

I watched The Bridge To Terabithia with my kid this afternoon.  I was expecting it to be awful but it wasn't half bad.  3/5

For about the 1000th time I am watching Aliens and sporting wood all over the place. Can anyone name a better action movie? I'm talking any action movie, ever made, ever. I can't think of a single one that is clearly better and only a few are even close.

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skulls 0/5 -  it was really terrible. I mean just awful. Harrison Ford was serious in the first 3 which made his one liners funny, in this movie he just comes off goofy. The plot was about as bad as it gets. I love the first 3 and plan on pretending this one just never happened.

It's getting fairly decent reviews, interesting that the two people here have hated it.

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.

He's just upset there was no wookie in this one.

Considering there were aliens and spaceships involved wookies wouldn't have been that far fetched

If you think Lucas farged Star Wars up - which he did - then wait till you get a load of this pile of crap.

Harrison Ford hasn't made a good movie in 10 years.  The last one I can remember watching that wasn't total crap was Air Force One.  And you're right about Lucas farging up Star Wars, although I liked Revenge of the Sith.  And aside from Munich, Spielberg hasn't directed a decent movie since Saving Private Ryan.

It's not surprising that they made a zesty movie here, and the sad fact is they didn't need to.  None of them need the money and The Last Crusade was absolutely perfect in every way.

Just goes to show you how farged up Hollywood is in terms of ego, greed & self-indulgence.

I think the problem with Indy is that they stayed with a formula that worked in the 80's and that just doesn't work these days.

Watched American Ganster. Thought it was really good. 4/5.

Watched Saving Private Ryan again. Great movie. Tom Hanks is one of the best actors I've ever seen. I swear, every time I watch it, it brings tears to my eyes.

catch me if you can, minority report, and AI are all terrific films IMO.

watched the indy movie last night and i thought it fell right along with the others in terms of plot and action. all the plots in the indy movies have been far fetched and dealing with the supernatural. this one was no different. the action is obviously there even if some of it was CGI.

for a movie with 20 yrs of hype and a bunch of angry nerds who wouldnt like it anyway i thought it was a fun action movie. or maybe its because i was never that into the original indy movies so i didnt have the "omg they raped my childhood" moment.
