ehhhh whateva right?


indiana jones and the crystal skull


Hollywood icon Harrison Ford returns to the role of the adventurous archaeologist Indiana Jones nearly 20 years after he last donned the famous fedora and bullwhip to save the world from imminent peril. Joining Ford for this latest installment of the Steven Spielberg-George Lucas collaboration are Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, Jim Broadbent, Karen Allen, John Hurt and Shia LaBeouf as Jones's headstrong young sidekick.

Indiana Jones vs. aliens. Don't by the "this movie is far fetched" hype. Were the reviewers expecting a documentary on knights templar? shut up. This movie was good 'merican fun

8/10
National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage) and Dr. Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger) -- who found riches and romance at the end of their first hunt for national treasure -- reteam with their wisecracking partner in crime, Riley Poole (Justin Bartha), for another romp through U.S. history. Now, armed with a stack of long-lost pages from John Wilkes Booth's diary, Ben is obsessed with finding the truth behind President Abraham Lincoln's assassination.

Again a fun movie and nick cage and his bad hair cut are always awesome. A more ridiculous indiana jones. a more awesome da vinci code

6/10

strange wilderness

When Peter Gaulke (Steve Zahn) and Fred Wolf's (Allen Covert) TV wildlife show is threatened with cancellation, they attempt to boost their flagging ratings by going in search of the most elusive beast of all, Bigfoot. But will their big plan turn out to be just another hoax? Directed by Fred Wolf, this raucous comedy also features Justin Long, Kevin Heffernan, Jonah Hill, Jeff Garlin, Ernest Borgnine and Harry Hamlin.

this movie had dante from grandmas boy, and puking into a sharks mouth, other than that it was pretty fart.

4/10
sword of doom

One of the most thrilling and disturbing samurai epics, The Sword of Doom delivers unparalleled action and outstanding performances from two of Japan's greatest actors, Tatsuya Nakadai and Toshiro Mifune. Nakadai dominates the screen as Ryunosuke Tatsue, a man for whom killing is a pleasure. Brought up by a father to whom the sword was the way of life, the sword is now the only family he recognizes. Pitted against him is Taranosuke..

a must see samurai movie for any samurai fan. Guy kills like 185082150825 people in the most epic fight ever.

8/10

darkon

Ordinary folks trade in their street clothes for medieval costumes, faux weaponry and full-contact battles in Andrew Neel and Luke Meyer's documentary about Darkon, a group that acts out fantasy war games based on complex rules and customs. Neel and Meyer capture the drama as padded swords clash, armies advance and a ruler crosses the line, while off the battlefield, participants open up about what keeps them coming back for more.

i was hoping for more of a "documentary" style movie than what i got from this movie. It just kind of showed the current story of where the darkon world was at right now, and not enough of how fucking insane people were that are involved in larping. Oh well i am almost level 8

6/10

shadow of the the Vampire

A wicked movie about the making of the 1922 silent-film classic Nosferatu, Shadow of the Vampire features Willem Dafoe's Oscar-nominated performance. Director F.W. Murnau (John Malkovich) yearns to create the most terrifying vampire tale imaginable. Unknown actor Max Schreck (Dafoe), cast as the vampire Count Orlock, makes an impressive debut as filming begins, even as he hides an unearthly secret.

a really awesome cocncept for a movie i think, and fill it with amazing actors and you got a real gem. Some weirdly uncomfortably funny parts from willem dafoe and malkovich being malkovich.

8/10

wristcutters

Trapped in an alternate world populated by suicide victims, a band of souls tries to find an escape route in Goran Dukic's quirky fantasy. Although he took his own life, Zia (Patrick Fugit) isn't ready for such a grim hereafter, particularly when he learns that his ex-girlfriend also killed herself. On a quest to find her, he befriends a jaded hitchhiker and a Russian rocker, and together, they set out in search of a more appealing afterlife.

a gimmicky movie that is well executed and fun/heartfelt. The girl in this is a total babe and tom waits is incredible. Looks like it was shot in the salt flats or salton sea or some dead land giving purgatory this weird cool grey look.

9/10
warriors

A prominent New York City gang leader named Cyrus (Roger Hill) wants to wage an all-out battle against the police, and as part of his strategy he calls upon Gotham's gangs to set aside their turf wars and come together at a summit. At the meeting, a rival leader kills Cyrus, but a Coney Island gang called the Warriors is wrongly blamed for Cyrus' death. Before you know it, the cops and every gangbanger in town is hot on the Warriors' trail

this movie is silly and not good. The gangs are pretty funny though and there are some pretty awesome one liners.

5/10
