Battlefield Earth: F-

After having a conversation with ManicDeathThrash about this film, it inspired me to watch this movie again, to see if it was as bad as I remember it was.

Fuck me, is it awful.

Never have I ever wanted to punch John Travolta in the face more than when I watched this movie, he isn't even a bad actor, but his performance in this movie was so fucking annoying! the smug bastard could have atleast put some effort into being a goddamn dreadlocked alien in platform boots.

I'm not sure how Travolta's Scientology Overlords managed to convince him to get this movie made, but the world would be a better place without this failed abortion of cinema.

May your Body Thetons agitate you for millenia, John Travolta.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen - 6/10

[Vlad Yvhv]

The Howling III: The Marsupials. A+
This's a strong contender with The Thing for the spot of my favorite movie. Werewolves're cool, but werethylacines're better. It's a good, solid horror/comedy. Definitely the best $5.00 I've ever spent, and probly ever will.

Heh...it's been too long since I saw it to properly grade it, but I recall also rather enjoying "The Marsupials". :3

Anywho...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Acts I and III: A
Act II: B+

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen- 7/10.
A good summer movie with a lot of action, funny jokes, and Megan Fox.
However, there were some parts in there that I would say are unnecessary for an action movie.

Black Hawk Down- 9.5/10

One of the greatest war movies ever made, it's brutally realistic about modern warfare.
I would recommend it to anybody who likes any kind of war movie.

Gran Tornio: B+

[Vlad Yvhv]

Firestarter: B+. Just not quite up to my standards for "A-". Though the destruction of the compound/farm and the music for that part are perty damn cool, the rest of the movie just kinda seems to be limping along toward that part.

I have the story somewhere, but it's been 12 years since I've read it...

Transformers 2: 6.5/10

It was ok but way, way too long with a rushed ending. They managed to draw it out over 2.5 hours but as soon as the "bad guy" is finished off the movie is over in 5 minutes. There's a couple of minor plot holes and untied ends too.

Like the whole cover-up thing, even though they had that huge battle at the end of the 1st one? I never got that, the population there is either really stupid or the government is really good at covering up things.

Yes, but smaller still as well. For example, what happened to the Decepticon hugging the satellite? How did that guy who got tased unconscious in the back of the car get up and run so quickly?

They aren't robots in disguise for nothing.

Are the torn apart buildings, smashed cars and dead people all in disguise as well?

2010: D-. A few good moments and a lot of crap.

The Patriot: L-. Even the action scenes sucked. I had to suffer through it cause it was on the TV while we were having supper and celebrating my uncle's belated birthday.

UP: A-

One of the best uses of 3-D I've seen. Not too flashy, just enough of it for you to "feel" your surrounding. The cool side-effect is that the surround sound feels more natural in a seemingly natural 3-D environment. That, and it was better than the "We're hiding our horrible movie with unrealistic 3-D gimmicks" Monsters vs. Aliens or Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Pete Doctor returns for his second directorial role for this movie. With his last movie being Monster Inc., it really shouldn't surprise me that he was able to pull off such an emotional film, being that he pulled off the one or two emotional scenes in Monster Inc. very well.

UP had it's animation cliches, like talking dogs, but they made a way for it to be manageable and it didn't distract from the story.

And when I look back at UP, I remember the movie itself. Not "Cool! It was 3-D!" aspect of it And that's how all movies should be done. 3-D or not.

Friday the 13th (2009): A. Great adaptation of the first 3 movies, with some real thought put into it, as we're dealing with pre-zombie Jason. Also, some nifty nods to the original. But, I'm not fond of sex in movies, so that drags it down from the A+ potential. I do like it better than the original, because we aren't dealing with a crazy old woman.

What makes this better than the original Friday the 13th?
