It shouldn't have been, you've been told a hundred times he won't be in the movie.

X-Men: The Last Stand - 3/10

The writing for this movie completely ruined it for me.  There was line after line of cheesy cliches.  There were a lot of cheap laughs, too (kick in the balls and other stupid shit like that).  The acting simply could not save the terrible writing.  Also, it probably would have been better if Bryan Singer had directed it.

X-Men 3. Vary good. I liked the story line, but they left out some of the mutants from 2, i.e. Nightcrawler. I'd give it a 9 out of 10, being vary adventurous, and loads of cool explosions.

Quote from: AvocadoClockPrincess Mononoke and Spirited Away are golden and definitely worth it. Mononoke is an actionish movie with a nature theme and morals to it, and Spirited Away is like Alice in Wonderland. Atleast an 8+/10 on each.

I had a friend watch Princess Mononoke who didn't even like anime, and he enjoyed it.

Howls Moving Castle is also a great movie by him.

Mission Impossible 3 5/10

A movie where a situation where knocking two people out cold to complete the objective finds explosions and deaths. Most of it is pretty dumb but acting is actually alright on cruises part.

See No Evil- 1/10 as a horror movie, 8/10 as a dark comedy.
This had a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.
We watched it with absolutely no intention of taking it seriously, and it didn't disappoint. This movie was a roflfest.
Don't get me wrong: It's graphic as hell, but after a character jams a pipe into Kane's head, seeing Kane gently pat the maggot-filled hole back into place before continuing the chase earned a dark laugh from most of the people in the very very small theater it was playing in. Another time, another character is being slowly lowered by a friend out of a 7th story window with Kane fast approaching. She suddenly stops her descent, and everybody laughs because we know Kane is up there and now he's pulling her back up.

A History of Violence
Damn, harsh. I like how David Cronenberg works. Four or five times through the movie I was like "damn!" and "shit!" (not "that is whack!" though). The only thing that seemed out of place was the son suddenly destroying the asses of high school bullies. Since when is being a skilled killer a hereditary trait? Very, very good ending though - I like how it ends rather open and fair to realism as opposed to happy.

Also, hot as Maria Bello may be and moreso in a cheerleader outfit while showing off the goods, I was laughing till I cried when they were 69ing and the soundtrack was all romantic. I'm not saying consentual oral sex isn't beautiful, I just don't see me and my sweetie cuddling up while two people scramble for each other's genitals.

But is it truly the end I mean the movie kind of ended at a cliff hanger, especially if you wait until after the credits.

What happens after the credits? I completely forgot to stay.

In Her Shoes - 8.5/10

I liked the writing and character development a lot. Being a simple movie about simple people, it wasn't an altogether spectacular movie, but it was strong in pretty much every aspect. Sometimes it made me wish I could be an old person for a day so I could spout random gibberish.

Madagascar - 6/10

These CG animal movies are beginning to get on my nerves. But it wasn't a bad movie. It had a couple of funny parts, and some of the animation was good. The story was a bit stale, though. And most of the humor was aimed at kids, with only the few aforementioned parts that adults might find funny.

Quote from: StrangeClockCorpse Bride
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, in a way I don't think CGI can capture. Afterwards I kept thinking how much I'd like to see a Grim Fandango movie done in this way (though, at the same time I feel Grim Fandango was so right in its genre, remaking it as a movie would probably only detract from it), or Curse of Monkey Island. Music and songs didn't feel as memorable as Nightmare Before Christmas, and the story seemed a bit straightforward (no great twists or surprises), but a joy to watch.

I don't think they could make a movie version of Grim Fandango but I'm pretty certain that Tim Schafer could write and direct one set in the Land of the Dead with all the same art style and stuff and it would be awesome.

The Deer Hunter-10/10

An incredibly well acted movie. Robert Deniro and Christopher Walken are amazing in it. The transition to Vietnam is almost surreal, what with the previous scene depicting a wedding. The russian rulette scene is probably the most intense thing I've seen in a movie. The music, what little there is, is haunting by the end of the film. Definately worth seeing.

Holy shit was this a bad movie. It was just two hours of HEY LOOK AT MY POWERS! COOOOOOOOL. They added way too many sub-plots for themselves to keep up with, actually, they added too much everything to keep up with.  Just an all around horrid experience.

It is a Johnny Cash film...

Munich-Filmgasm/10

This movie is the most moving, disturbing, and graphic movie I have ever seen. The acting is good, the camera work and directing especially, are masterful. Steven Speilberg has outdone himself.

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
 
3/5
 
It seems like there's something missing. It had many individual moments of brilliance, but as a whole, it was lacking something. I might pinpoint exactly what it is and edit my post later. But I don't think it quite lived up to its potential. Highly enjoyable film though. Mostly down to Adams.
 
Didn't like Martin Freeman in it. Seems a bit wooden and unimaginative with his performance. I realise his character is supposed to be pretty boring and benign but it seems like Freeman isn't very versatile in his range of responses.

Are you the same SIC on the LL forum? If so, this is Xenomorph.

Well they already made one about cannibals in:

Forest (Wrong Turn)
Desert (The hill Have Eyes)
Texas (TCSM)
The list goes on. Caves could work.
