Brief reviews of movies you saw recently

[Kombucha]

If you have seen the anime music videos, you probably have seen a third or fourth of the whole feature presentation.

What do you mean?

City of Ember 7/10
I liked it, its kinda like bioshock meets fallout, with bill murray in it.

What do you mean?

The whole movie is like the videos of One More Time, Aerodynamic, Digital Love, Harder Better Stronger, Something About Us and much more.

12 Monkeys
A Terry Gilliam movie, and it shows, but dear God it's not as strange as Brazil.  I liked it.

I would dare say 12 Monkeys in my list of favorites, which isn't a very big list.

City of Ember 7/10
I liked it, its kinda like bioshock meets fallout, with bill murray in it.

Meh, I would give it more a 5 or 6. Its a kids movie for sure though. If you're like me, this movie was so full of "ugh, that's not how things work" parts.

RocknRolla
A film directed by Guy Ritchie.
The plot is confusing at the beginning (and I'm still somewhat confused, I'll have to watch it again) with characters being introduced left and right and things happening.  Eventually the movie narrows its plots down to one "Trying to get the picture back to the Russian guy".
The picture is kinda like that briefcase in Pulp Fiction.  You never know what it is, and I liked that.
The movie was fun to look at, the cinematography was great and all the shots were pretty.  The movie was fun to watch just to see what the characters did.  When the movie wanted to be funny, it was hilarious (with the funniest and best sex scene I've ever seen in a movie).
Apparently there's going to be a sequel (the movie says there will be in the last frame).  I honestly wouldn't mind that because, again, the characters were all so interesting and fun to watch.

Cloverfield - 88/100

I liked it, I want more movies to be meta-artistic like the twist this one had by making you part of the vagrants in the middle of the monster attack, and the best of all is how you don't know a shit about the monster, what is it vulnerable to, what's going to happen, how it concluded.

City of Ember 7/10
I liked it, its kinda like bioshock meets fallout, with bill murray in it.

Wait, is that based on the book? They made of movie of it? What were they thinking!?

Religulous
Interesting and hilarious movie.  Bill Maher goes around and questions peoples' faiths and makes fun of them and all that stuff.
In the end, the movie promotes uncertainty and doubt (while, at the same time, saying that all religious people will blow up the world.  I agree wholeheartedly with the uncertainty and doubt, but Maher does stereotype any theist in his final statement and does so throughout the movie).
The people he interviews in the movie are all varied and it's interested, and there are a couple of guys he interviews that are just plain awesome (the one guy outside the Vatican in particular, I forget his name).
It's hilarious simply for the things Bill Maher has the audacity to say to some people, and in the end it's worth watching and all that.

Btw, the cat in Coraline, the voice actor, does the Arbiter in Halo 2.

[TequilaClock]

btw guys, I heard this week there is also a Butterfly Effect 3. What the fuck is wrong with Hollywood? The first one was just ok, not amazing, neither good, just OK, and I already reviewed the second one as a fucking waste of money and celluloid so you imagine how I feel.

On The Waterfront - 9/10

Excellent movie, really drew me in. Great acting by Brando and loved the iconic cab ride with his brother.

Rear Window - 8/10

Another Hitchcock masterpiece.

[Asshatclock]

Meh, I would give it more a 5 or 6. Its a kids movie for sure though. If you're like me, this movie was so full of "ugh, that's not how things work" parts.

Well I give a 5 to movies I didn't like, a 6 to a movie I find meh, but not bad, and a 7 to a movie I enjoyed but wasn't spectaculair.

What Just Happened
Has funny moments but in the end it was disappointing.

rebecca - 5/10

worst hitchcock movie ive seen, boring, surprised it won best picture

[MonsterMunch]

Six String Samurai - 10/10

I was fucking blown away!

When I saw that the movie was given 6.5/10 on IMDB, I didn't think it would be too good, but it turns out most people don't know shit about good cult movies. A truly unique film with a great soundtrack.

[MonsterMunch]

Doomsday - 4/10

Wasted opportunity. Could have been great but the story just got too fucking ridiculous while trying to keep straight faced.

British movies are really sucking at the moment.
