Superman Returns - 10/10
I could rant about this movie for hours. In a good way. The passing mention of Gotham already has me itching for a World's Finest crossover with the Batman Begins franchise. Probably my only complaint about the movie is that Superman didn't catch the Daily Planet globe with one hand and give a kid a balloon with the other.
Love me some Superman.

12 Monkeys - 10/10
Great movie. I love how many times the movie reveals it's not about what you thought it was about.
Gilliam is god.

Nacho Libre - 8/10
It was a funny movie and all, but because it was made by Nickelodeon it seemed to lack a small amount of adult humor which limited them a bit.  Loved his partner dude, don't remember his name though.

P.S. 12 Monkeys has been on my top 10 list for years, good to see other people love it as well.

Wild at heart - 9/10

Classic Lynch, this was a really good movie, great acting, script, directing, soundtrack. Everything about it was great.

Cars 6/10

Another cliché Pixar movie with a cliché story, cliché ending and cliché stereotypes.
Lightning the frat sportscar finds himself lost on the road to his big game. He eventually ends up in a town full of stereotyped cars, like a hillbilly (the comic relief), an army jeep and a 60s hippy van. Of course there's the inevitable chick who doesn't like Lightning at first but all of this changes in an epic plot twist. He eventually learns from his mistakes in this town and sees that the championship isn't really everything.
I should probably give you a spoiler warning, but were you really expecting something else?

Nevertheless I enjoyed this movie. Like most animation movies it had some jokes only adults would get. Pixar did an outstanding job on the animation and graphics.

Highlander 7/10

Want plot?

Great movie with guy from Mortal Kombat as Highlander.

Syriana: 1st viewing-7/10

It was pretty good, but very hard to follow. There are about five plots which I can only vaguely connect. There is a scene where a kid gets electrocuted in a pool though, which was awsome. I'm probably gonna watch it again and see if I can make sense of it.

Waking Life - 10/10

Awesome + Rotoscoping (some really cool styles).

Rushmore - 9/10

Love Wes Anderson.  Great movie of course.

Racing Stripes - 3/10

Pretty bland. Most of the humor was pretty stale, save a few genuinely funny parts. The story was different, yet the same as any other underdog racing horse story. That's probably why they added the talking farm animals. Oh wait. That's not very original either. My biggest problem was with the one sided characters, though. We've seen them all before.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - 9/10

I read a lot of pretty bad reviews of this movie, and personally I have no idea which movie they're seeing. One of the biggest complaints I see is that people say it's just setting up for the third movie. Wow. Imagine that. A planned trilogy has the second movie set up for the third. Surprising, to be sure. Smack. I liked pretty everything about this movie, but the best thing it has going for it is continuity. They were able to capture, with incredible success, the same look and feel of the first movie, with all returning cast members and even some old familiar haunts. The first twenty minutes is kinda cheesy and weak, but once things pick up it stays strong throughout.

Edit:

The Devil Wears Prada - 8/10

This actually surprised me at how good it was. Again, the first 30 minutes or so were a bit heavy on the corny fashion jokes, but there was a lot of good, subtle humor throughout the movie. Acting was great all around. Even Adrian Grenier (who is normally fucking terrible) didn't do too bad of a job. The characters were also pretty nicely written. They weren't cliche, which surprised me a bit. Especially Miranda (Streep), who not only remains nearly untouched at the end (in terms of "character redemption") but also seems like she very well could be a real person. And Anne Hathaway is pretty hot in it. Yeah.

Edit #2:

Exorcist: The Beginning - 6/10

As both a movie and a prequel, it was decent. Not great, but alright. They started off slowly, which was ok considering they were trying to build tension. The build up to the climax was great. They fit a lot of creepy stuff in there to set up for the final conflict with Lucifer. It was this conflict, however, that disappointed me. The whole thing just seemed kind of cheesy and not very scary at all. They could have done much better.

Good night and good luck: 8.5/10

A little boring and hard to follow at times, but the acting and directing was great!

Keeping up with the steins: 3.5/10

This movie was directed by fucking nazis, I swear to god. I doubt more than three cast members were Jews. And you know who the main character was? The little fucker from Spy Kids. Fucking Spy kids! There were a few funny moments, but overall not worth seeing. Unless you like seeing 5000 years of Jewish tradition bastardized over the course of two and a half hours.

2001: a space oddessy: 9/10

I loved the visuals and the camera work. Stanley Kubrick is an amazing director. It developed very slowly, but the end product was phenominal.

the parole officer - 7/10
 
Highly formulaic and unoriginal, but fairly entertaining. Steve Coogan carried it along. Funny bastard.
 
And I'm pretty sure that the policewoman he falls in love with in this film is the same actress who plays the traffic cop in those indigestion tablet ads.. You know the one where she spontaneously breaks into song and dance? "I CAN FEEL IT!".
 
who's harry crumb? 8/10
 
Clever and well executed comic set pieces and a cool plot! Characters are a bit dull though, except for the two main ones, played by John Candy and Jeffrey Jones. Comic genii.

Superman Returns - 7/10

Superman's a really lame superhero and a lot of the humor with Jimmy Olsen fell flat.  Bryan Singer is still a great director however, and I actually found myself caring about what happened to Superman even though he's boring as hell, plus I thought Kevin Spacey was good.  It was sort of lame how Superman never actually fought anyone, he just stopped disasters and got the shit kicked out of him, but it was still relatively exciting.

A Scanner Darkly - 10/10

Completely brilliant movie.  The visual technique used to give it its look was very cool and interesting to watch; the dialogue, especially the lines spoken by Woody Harrelson and Robert Downey Jr. was side-splitting; and Keanu Reeves was very effective playing the lead in a thought provoking movie about the harm caused by drugs with some interesting sci-fi stuff going on.  Just a real pleasure to watch, one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

empire of the sun 9/10
 
steven spielberg + tom stoppard + insanely good child actor christian bale =

Pirates of the Carribean 2 - 5/10
Okay, not only was this movie a huge letdown, but a whole bunch of shit ruined it for me.  First of all, my friend and I were going to go see the midnight showing.  However, we had some time to kill, so we went to a friend's house by the theater to go smoke a few bowls before the movie.  However, when we got to the house, my friend (who was driving) was going to flip a bitch, but he hit the curb really hard and it completely fucked up his front right tire.  So we tried using our friend's jack, but the tire would not come off because a couple of lug nuts got stripped.  So we took another car to the theater and refunded our tickets (it was past 12 by the time we got there).  We came back, called AAA, and they sent out a mechanic.  Anyway, he fixed it up and I crashed at the guy's house.   However, the next day, my friend forgot that he put on the emergency break on so that the mechanic could work on the car while it was on the jack.  We drove for like 20 minutes with it on, and then the breaks went out.  In the end, he had to pay $250 to get the breaks fixed.
After all the drama with the car and shit, which wouldn't have happened if we didn't want to see Pirates of the Carribean, we went to see the movie.  I was really dissapointed.  It felt like the Matrix Reloaded of the Pirates series.  There was just too much action and not enough story, and a lot of cheap laughs.  Also, I didn't really like the visual effects on Davey Jones' crew.  So my friend ended up paying $250 and we went through a bunch of drama just to see a shitty movie.  Fantastic -_-

Princess Mononoke - 10/10
This movie has it all.  It is visually stunning, has a great story, and I really fell in love with the characters.  Ashitaka is one of the most admirable and intelligent heros I've ever seen in a movie.  This definently is one of my favorite animes now.

Rain Man - 8.5
Dustin Hoffman is brilliant in this movie, and Tom Cruise is an asshole (like always).  I really enjoyed the movie.  It was funny and sad.  However, the ending really leaves you hanging, which I didn't like.  I wish it had concluded the story more.

Session 9 - 6.5/10
This definently isn't a bad movie, but it's not that great either.  I didn't find it that scary, but some parts are pretty creepy.  It's a pretty typical psychological thriller/horror.  Sometimes the acting was a bit overdramatized, but it's worth a watch if you're a serious horror fan.

Time Bandits - 7.3 ~ 10
It was a pretty enjoyable movie.  It was directed by Terry Gilliam, and the whole time it has a bunch of midgets running around.  How awesome is that?
Anyway, some kids parents are watching TV while this kid is reading about ancient Greece.  He goes to bed, when, all of a sudden, a horse crashes out of his wardrobe and into a forest that appeared in place of his wall (all in bad, crashing audio quality).  The kid gets in trouble.
The next day, he goes to bed early, and prepares for whatever happened again.  Soon, some midgets creep out of his wardrobe, and are chased by some kind of god.  The kid follows the midgets, and falls into some warzone.  He soon finds out he is in a town being invaded by Napoleon (who loves to see people shorter than he).
He inquires about how he went from present to past, and finds out the midgets are following a map and are going through portals through time and robbing people in different time periods.
The movie is pretty long, and ends quite weird.  It was a pretty enjoyable flick, if not boring at times.  Some parts you knew had to happen, some you didn't quite expect.
Also, a couple Monty Python members make hilarious cameos.

Zombie Movie

It was free on Steam, so I downloaded it. A pretty funny 15 minute low budget horror comedy from New Zealand, it's about three guys (bogans, for you NZ-ers), stuck in a car with no gas while zombies shuffle around outside. Almost the whole movie takes place in the car, where they have to deal with starvation and such. Cheap and not always convincing make-up, but innovatively used. Worth downloading.

In Session 9? Nooooo.

I loved that movie. Then my sister started constantly renting it and it sort of died for me after seeing it a million times. Most of Miazaki's stuff is great.

Zathura: 4/10
Because of extremely shitty physics. If not for the shitty physics, I would have given it a seven.

A Sound of Thunder: 5/10
Again, really shitty physics. However, this movie has no hope of being saved from shitty physics, because the entire movie was based around them.  The only thing keeping me from giving this a two is the DINO MONKEYS AND I LIKE DINO MONKEEEEEEEEEEEEYSSSSSS!!!!

A Scanner Darkly - 10/10

Great movie.  The somewhat predictable ending doesn't detract from the movie.  Not sure how to describe the movie other than just saying it's a movie about drugs.
