It's great for what it is, and I'm sure there will not be another teen movie as good as this for a long time, but the jokes take too long to set up. Did I laugh, yes, but will I see it again, probably not.

Evan Almighty - PG

This movie suffered from over-exposure and over-advertising. By the time you got to the funny parts, it didn't feel funny because you've seen it already. I did like how the Ark was built, and it really made me wonder how things like that were done back then.

Good solid mystery movie, that keeps you guessing until the end. I think it could have been shorter though. I like David Fincher, but it's not comparable to Se7en. Great casting call though.

Funnier than expected, I laughed a lot more during this film than in other comedies that I saw this year. Great gimmick done in the ending credits.

The Reaping - R

this movie is highly disjointed and suffers from the overuse of flash-backs and premonitions. The premise of the biblical plagues recurring in modern times would've made a great movie, but some how they decided to add a mystery and cult-like aspect to it. Just wait for the locusts, the best scene in the movie.

Dynamite Warrior - Unrated
|
|
The movie is a bit of Ong Bak and Indiana Jones and the temple of doom. If you can stomach it's slapstick humor, you'll find some enjoyment through the fight scenes. I didn't like it that much, but I did think the ideas behind it was ridiculous - and they went with it! That made it remarkable. Stunts were great too.

The Simpsons Movie - PG-13

They stuck to what works: little pieces of irreverent humor throughout scenes. I had a good time, but I think it could've been better if they focused more on the other characters than just Homer.

Apocalypto - R

With all the controversy that Mel Gibson got from making this movie, I have to say that this was really a great movie. If you can get pass the fact that it's a MOVIE, not a documentary, you'll definitely enjoy it. There are plenty of nail-biting scenes, and as action movies get these days, Gibson knows how to make a good movie. Watch it just for the sets and costumes. It's amazing!

Black Sheep - Unrated

What a big disappointment. I was looking for a good B-rated movie, but this one didn't cut it. It was slow, not funny, and worse of all, they didn't have any music. Was it just a bad copy that I had or did they lack the funds? The make-up affects were cool, but come on...

Flags of Our Fathers - R

Ahh, too many characters that all look the same and jumping time eras make this movie too confusing for what it is. The battle scenes were too short and dispersed to make it compelling. Some gorgeous shots of battle ships make it worth a watching, if you have patience.

Good. They brought the planning, mischief, and humor back to the Ocean's franchise. I had a good time at seeing these characters going up against a centralized bad guy.

Transformers - PG-13

I hate to be the bad guy, but there was just too much expectation loaded with this movie. I have to admit the transformation graphics were stunning, but in the end, something was missing. The jokes carried on too long, and the action was a bit too repetitive. After seeing Spiderman 3 and Die Hard 4, wrecking a city isn't as scary anymore. It almost seemed run-of-the-mill. Optimus rules, but this movie will never surpass the cartoon movie of 1987.

Live Free or Die Hard - PG-13
|

None stop action with witty dialogue, it's the kind of movie that summers are all about. Reinvigorated the McClane name and Die Hard Franchise. I didn't even mind Justin Long's sarcasm, some of them were pretty funny. The FBI chief did a solid job too. You gotta go with the right crowd, makes the theater experience just that much better.

National Lampoon's Animal House - R

Classic, but I didn't see it till 2007, when I'm 26. Lots of dated material, but I can tell how outstanding they were when it was first release. A slew of quotable lines, and college antics makes this the father of all frat-house goof flicks.

Enjoyable, but not notable. Jon Heder doesn't do much, but being a guy that's picked on is definitely his part. Thornton was great to watch, and Ben Stiller just makes me laugh with his usual "Blue Steel" face. Also great to see David Cross and Sara Silverman, so I had to bump it up a star.

El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) - R

This is a good movie to see for special effects and cinematography, but it leaves you with the feeling of wanting more. I just wish there were more portions of the fairy tales than the civil war. Nevertheless I know they go together in the story. Not a movie for the kiddies, but I highly recommend it for everyone else.

Black Snake Moan - R

Behind the somewhat awkwardness of the plot, this is ultimately a story of coming to odds with dark secrets of oneself. It's a movie about a childless man finding a fatherless young woman on the road one day. Their weird relationship starts as saved and savior, escalates to caretaker and wounded, and ultimately finalizes as father and daughter. Whether it's Ray being saved by Lazarus or the other way around, it can be argued either way. In the end, music is the tool towards their salvation, and their redemption; powerfully shot in a scene where Sam Jackson plays a blues solo for Ricci.

Lady in the Water - PG-13

Despite all the bad press this movie received, I saw this without any expectations and any memory of the preview. I didn't find the tools he used to tell the horror story any effective, but then I realized it wasn't a horror story at all. With that in mind, it became a lot more enjoyable. Paul Giamatti definitely carried the movie, for without him this movie would have been stale. For an in-depth interpretation of the movie, the guy on IMDB's discussion board wrote an exhaustive explanation of every character and their actions.
