Watched in 2012

December 31

I decided to end the year with a fun movie. This movie had everything it needed to be a success. It was funny, had big names and had thrills. I wasn't expecting Richard Pryor to appear an hour into the movie, but his appearance was worth the wait. Definitely the best Pryor/Wildor movie. I just want to say that this list was a fun experience and I will be doing this again in 2013.

December 31

Ever since I heard about this movie I have been wanting to see it. If I saw it earlier then I probably would've been a bit disappointed. It is a good movie, but it is flawed and isn't as great as it could've been. Aaron Johnson was good though.

December 31

Very funny movie. This was known to be the first gross-out comedy, but unlike most movies of that kind the gross-out humor is clever and it also doesn't just rely on that kind of humor for cheap laughs.

December 30

I decided to watch another Coen Brothers movie before the year ends. This is a good movie, but it doesn't reach the level of greatness as their other films for me. The acting is good, so is the script and like all their movies it has a really good soundtrack. It's not their best work, but I might revisit it years from now.

December 30

I know most of you are surprised I hadn't seen this yet, but when I was really young I had no urge to see it, but the older I got the more interested I was in seeing it. I just never got around to seeing it, but today I thought it was about time that I finally watch it. I don't think I ever seen a kid's movie as heartfelt and powerful as this one. I also never knew how talented Drew Barrymore was as a child. This was a great movie that I'm glad I finally saw.

December 29

Just as good as the first one if not better. Wednesday Addams steals the show in this one and is one of the reasons why these movies are so good.

December 29

I wouldn't say it's funny as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, but it still had a good amount of laughs. The main problem I had was that Katherine Heigl could be annoying sometimes.

December 28

Since this was leaving Netflix on the first of January, I decided to watch it while I still had the chance too. I'm really glad I did. Natalie Portman's performance is probably the best I've seen from her. She is one of my favorite actresses, but I've never seen her pull off a performance like this. I also thought the movie was very weird and sometimes unpredictable. If there are any flaws in this movie then I couldn't find them.

December 27

I was looking for something to watch on Netflix and when I saw this on there I thought I should finally see it. I thought it was disappointing. The character development was very poor in my opinion. Some of theme were horny nerds and some of them just weren't likeable. The script really wasn't impressive either. One thing that bugged me was how many party scenes there were. Does a movie like this need that many? The reason for my generous rating is because I really didn't think this was a bad movie and there were some things I liked about this movie like Fincher's direction. This was just overrated and overhyped.

December 27

This was actually a good movie. I usually don't like gross-out humor, but this movie was one of those exceptions where it was actually funny.

December 26

I knew about this one for years, but had never seen it until now. I thought that this documentary was very educational since I don't live in America. This documentary was funny, thought-provoking and sometimes shocking. There were a couple things that keep me from giving it a perfect score, but this was a great documentary and makes me interested in seeing Morgan Spurlock's other work. (Except that One Direction one he's working on.

December 25

This was an awesome movie. Everything about this movie was great. Jamie Fox is really good as Django and everyone else is good too. Like all of Tarantino's movies the dialogue is great and the action scenes are too. The movie is already an instant classic in my book. This is one you should see in theaters because this is worth every penny.

December 24

I thought that I should see another Clint Eastwood film before the year ends. This was a pretty cool and funny movie. Also has a young Jeff Bridges.

December 24

This is the worst buddy cop movie I've seen so far. There were only 3 funny jokes in the whole movie. The movie would actually be funnier if Kevin Smith wrote the script.
I also thought that Tracy Morgan was painfully unfunny in this movie. I have officially seen every movie Kevin Smith has directed. I hope Clerks III will be good since it's his last movie.

December 23

When this came out it was known to be Kevin Smith's worst movie until Cop Out was released and took it's place. After seeing it I thought that it did not deserve the reputation it gets as a movie. It may have it's flaws, but I thought it was touching and a different movie for Kevin Smith to make. I really liked George Carlin's performance too. If you're a fan of Smith's work then I would give it a chance.

December 23

What a letdown. All I wanted was a funny movie and I got about a few mildly funny laughs. What's worse is that this is a critically-acclaimed comedy. Step Brothers and Mallrats get bashed by critics but this one doesn't? I also didn't like John C. Reilly in this movie. He is a good actor most of the time, but in this he was just an obnoxious douchebag. Even though this movie was 88 minutes I still think this is a waste of time that I'll never get back.

December 22

I didn't know what I would think of this movie, since this was another Sofia Coppola movie, but it was actually better than Lost in Translation. Unlike that movie this one actually has a plot and has characters to care about. Still nothing great and I'm not sure if I'd go out of my way to watch it again, but it's great to know that it's better than I thought it would be.

December 22

I've been wanting to see this for a while. The trailer was intriguing and Quentin Tarantino's comment of the movie on the DVD cover was tempting. If I didn't lower my expectations a little bit then I would've been a little disappointed. It is a good movie. It was unlike anything Kevin Smith has done before and it's his most mature movie to date, but it falls flat from being his best movie. It is worth seeing, but don't expect anything great from it.

December 21

How come whenever a new Christmas Buddies movie comes out that is the Christmas movie the school watches when there are so many better Christmas movies in the world. The plot has been done before in a better movie called Elf. It was also mind-numbingly stupid. I mean Mrs. Clause getting locked in jail? How cliched is that? The humor is also unfunny like all Buddies movies. The reason for the extra star is because it is slightly better than Treasure Buddies.

This was the movie choice for drama and I can't believe that I haven't heard of it before. It was pretty entertaining for a kids sci-fi movie.

December 20

Since this was sitting in my want to watch list for a while, I decided to actually watch it. I thought this was a good movie and I think Morgan Freeman is great in every movie he's in. If this has been in your want to watch list for a while then I would watch it.

December 18

I decided to see this since it was one of the few Kevin Smith movies I hadn't seen yet. This was a hilarious movie and Kevin Smith's raunchiest. Wouldn't say it's his best movie, but the movie delivered what I expected and is worth a watch.

December 17

I loved this movie. This was before Al Pacino was in The Godfather and he really delivers a great performance. What is really amazing is that it shows how powerful a movie can be without music.

December 16

This wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it still isn't good. The main problem is that it barely feels like a Beverly Hills Cop movie. It feels like a movie about Eddie Murphy hanging out at an amusement park. Has some mildly funny jokes, but is worth skipping along with it's predecessor. This is so far the only John Landis movie I don't care for which is a shame because he is a good director.

December 16

It's been bugging me that I haven't seen too many Clint Eastwood movies, so I decided to see this one. Very great escape movie which I'm kind of surprised it was rated PG back in the day.

December 15

This was a good movie. It had a funny script and is one of my favorite Harold Ramis movies.

December 15

My experience before the show was a bitch. The path to the theater was blocked so I had to walk and since the room the movie was in was being cleaned the staff made us wait outside in the fucking cold. It was more than worth it. Like all the LOTR movies they're visually impressive and proves that Peter Jackson is the king of blockbusters. It also had some humorous dialogue and when the movie ends it leaves you wanting more. Somehow it doesn't reach the same level of greatness as the LOTR movies did, but it is a great start to the trilogy and hopefully the other two will be better.

December 14

I thought this was a great movie. It had Matt Dillon's best performance and a really great script. I also thought the movie was very realistic.

December 13

I wasn't sure what to expect from this, since I hadn't seen anything with Richard Gere, but I thought this was a really good police thriller. It was a gripping and sometimes unsettling movie with a good finale.

December 12

When this movie came out I avoided it because of my hatred for Zac Efron, but since it got positive feedback I decided to watch it. I should've kept avoiding it because this was terrible. Zac Efron was so bad that it made me miss Matthew Perry's character and I'm not even a fan of him. This is another body swap comedy. It wouldn't bother me so much if this movie was funny, but it isn't. This movie was around an hour and forty minutes, but it felt much longer than that. Please avoid this movie. It will give you a bad feeling after watching it.

December 11

Who would've thought that Billy Bob Thorton could really act? I already knew he was a good actor, but this was an amazing performance. His writing and directing are also good too. I thought that this was a well-made drama with an unusual ending. (In a good way of course.) I didn't give it a higher rating that 8 because I felt that it never reached the level of greatness to me, but it still is a good movie that made Billy Bob Thorton famous.

December 10

This is one of those times where the third movie is the best one in the trilogy. Everything was great and the ending was perfect.

December 9

Great movie. I really like how Al Pacino can portray gangsters in different ways.

December 9

Since people were saying this was the best thing Eddie Murphy has done recently, I decided to watch it sometime. I thought it was a funny movie and is actually more entertaining than some of the other heist films I've seen recently. This is Eddie Murphy's best movie since Bowfinger. (Excluding the first two Shrek movies.)

December 8

Most of Eddie Murphy's new movies are ones that suck and this is no exception. Most of the jokes in the movie aren't funny. There are maybe 2 or 3 mildly funny parts, but most of this was painfully stupid. It also tried to do what The Truman Show did to Jim Carrey by adding drama to the movie, but it just doesn't work.

December 7

I think I liked this a bit better than the first one. Everything was great about this movie and Orlando Bloom's character actually has a purpose unlike the first one although I still can't say he's a good actor.

December 7-Rewatch

I really liked it as a kid, but it hasn't aged well for me. I thought that some parts of the movie was unrealistic. Tom Hanks is good as the characters in this movie, but this movie is mostly for kids.

December 6

Very average heist movie and for a comedy it wasn't very humorous. (Although I thought the part where Woody shoots at that shark was funny.) Woody Harrelson is a good actor, but I felt he was miscast in this movie. This is one you're better off skipping.

December 5

I'm very glad I found this movie. It's not for everyone, but I was amazed by it and Ryan Reynolds delivers a great performance. Some might find this movie boring, but I was at the edge of my seat the whole time.

December 4

Some say this movie is overrated, but so far I think this is Aronofsky's best. This film is hard to watch, but that's the point. I don't know how anyone could not find the ending disturbing. Very depressing and powerful movie.

December 3

I did think it was a good movie, but I do think it was a little overrated. The script wasn't bad, but nothing astonishing. One of the main problems I had with this movie is that I felt they robbed the casino a little too easily. The performances were great though. (Except for Julia Roberts. She was average.) Entertaining movie, but not the great popcorn movie everyone says it is.

December 3

What a surprisingly good movie. It was heart-warming and Tim Allen was actually funny. Much better than the sequels. (I've seen the second one years ago and have no plans to revisit that movie.)

December 2

The idea for the documentary interested me, so I decided to watch it. Even though the idea does seem pointless when you think about it, I still think it's a great movie. This has the best editing that I've seen in a documentary.

December 2

I really liked this movie. The wrestling scenes were cool and I liked how the movie was about the life of an aging wrestler. Mickey Rourke gives a good performance in this movie and proves to me that he can act. The reason I didn't give this a higher rating is because it never reached that level of greatness for me, but it still is a good movie and deserves the praise it gets.

December 1

I kind of liked this better than the first one. Some people say it is cheesy, but that just adds to the charm the movie has. I'll admit that it is flawed and the effects are dated, but it's entertaining and seems to be more talked about than the first Superman movie.

December 1

What a bad movie. The drama wasn't really sad, Michael Keaton was obnoxious as the snowman and it is just plain stupid. Makes the slasher Jack Frost look like Halloween.

December 1

This was pretty bad, but it was supposed to be that way. It was a little boring at some times, but I did get some cheap entertainment out of it. Only watch if you like bad horror movies.

November 30

Wow! The movie is better than the book this time. I like how it's not just about the stuff that happened in the book and none of the characters are miscast. I usually don't care for Mickey Rourke, but so far this is the only movie where I like his performance. I loved this movie and I'm offically convinced that Matt Dillon is a good actor.

November 16-Rewatch
November 30-Finished.

This was the movie choice this weekend, but I'm not complaining since this movie's not to bad. I seem to be one of the few people on the site that actually doesn't hate this movie. It's cheesy as hell, but I still get some enjoyment out of it even after watching it more than 5 times.

November 29

A flawed but funny movie. Some people were complaining about the writing, but I honestly wasn't expecting anything more than a funny movie.
