1986 Transformers animated movie - 8/10
Still pretty damn epic and still pretty fucking sweet overall. This movie blew my mind as a kid. It had people cussing and characters dying and shit! When I watch it now theres a few flaws, mainly the biggest one being the character deaths, at least so early on in the movie. Plus the musics gay. Totally, totally gay.

aside from the really gay music that's all over it, there's that Weird Al song thrown in for no apparent reason, too.Iron Goldie wrote:1986 Transformers animated movie - 8/10

Which is actually probably the best song in the movie.... But yeah, that music in that movie fails even more than Starscream.chrusti(ns)anity wrote:aside from the really gay music that's all over it, there's that Weird Al song thrown in for no apparent reason, too.Iron Goldie wrote:1986 Transformers animated movie - 8/10

I saw Superbad the other night, and I'd probably give it a 9/10. It's been a while since I've seen a really good comedy. I've yet to see 40-Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up, but if I laugh half as hard as I did for this movie, I'll look forward to it.
Basically it's just a good comedy based on absurd/awkward high-school-type situations. Occasionally some interesting shots...decent dialogue, too.

The Dinner Game – quirky French comedy, so so - 5
Martin – I didnt like the ending but loved the rest of it, I especially like how they splice in sequences of Martins past to look like old Universal Horror movies, lot of interesting and unique camera angles that I cant recall Romero ever doing before, probably Romero's best Non-zombie movie IMO, - 7.5
Fortress – early 90s Sci-fi/action movie with that guy from the Highlander, and Kurtwood Smith haha, not too bad really, I liked the concept and plot, a bit predicable, - 5
Dark Portals: The Chronicles of Vidocq – interesting and stylized French movie about that Vidocq fellow, I guess he's sort of the French version of Sherlock Holmes? I have no clue, but I liked this movie, a part from the stylized CGI hue on everything filmed, I really liked the story had an interesting villain, and the plot path was fairly complex going between past and future segments with a nice twist at the end, - 6.5
The Illustrated Man - fucking loved this! Ray Bardbury at his finest IMO, I loved the Illustrated Man himself, he was fucking brutal! - 8
The United States of Leland – disenchanted modern youth kills a retarded kid, nothing really to write home about, - 3
The Science of Sleep - avant-Romantic Comedy? , dont even know what to qualify this movie as, kind of a unique exploration of dreams with some inventive thought provoking Sci-Fi ideas thrown in, the dialogue switches between English and French throughout the whole movie, I did like it but Im still digesting it from watching it last night, definitely not for all, the romantic comedy angle might throw some people off, but I think there's plenty there to chew on besides that aspect, - 7

Excellent concept, absolute SHIT execution. Who's the killer? Oh, let us just TELL YOU POINT BLANK. I guess they have never heard of suspense in a "thriller."Gay for Cock wrote:The number 23 - 10/10 Maybe you didn't like it BUT I FUCKING DID, SCUMBAGS!
Fletch - 10/10. Goddamnit, I love this movie. Chevy Chase doing what he does best: be a smart-ass, and fall down a lot.
"Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State."
Oh, and always charge it to the Underhills.
Jarhead - 8.5/10. Excellent acting, great story, but some of the stuff left out of the book pisses me off. Jamie Foxx as Staff Sgt. Sikes was perfect. Some people hate this movie because there's no war in a war flick. Well, Swofford never saw any war in that tremendous 4 days ground assault, so there you go. It's an awesome look into living in the "rear" in a war, and dealing with the Corp and his troubles back home.

Damn good movie! I saw it in the theater. Still haven't read the book though, how is that?Stereo Sound Agent 1971 wrote:

Do yourself a favor and pick it up. Fills in many gaps. In the beginning of the movie, it mentions his father, mother and sister, and the book actually goes into detail about it. It follows him a bit after the war, and you find out how fucked up his platoon-mates were afterwards. You also find out how Troy (his spotter) died. The searing boredom he deals with in Iraq is in much more vivid detail. A lot of the things that happen in the movie to Swoff actually happened to other people, and they just piled it onto his character to make the movie funnier (bugle tryouts, being one).Iron Goldie wrote:Damn good movie!

It's written by Swofford himself (NOT ghost-written) and it's just a brutally honest account of his time in the Corps.

I didn't like Jarhead, but mostly because I expected better from Sam Mendes. This, from the guy that gave us American Beauty, and Road to Perdition. It sounds like a faithful adaptation from all accounts. I just feel like it could have been more.Stereo Sound Agent 1971 wrote:Do yourself a favor and pick it up. Fills in many gaps.
