Doomsday (2008) 4/5
2008-08-16 15:24

I was expecting something pure trash. I was delighted to find a really cool movie. It's 28 Days meets Road Warrior. The special effects were excellent. A worthy rental. - John

Revolver (2005/I) 4.5/5

As spoof movies go, this was one of the best I've seen. Maybe it's because I'm a comic nut, but I liked it a lot. - John

Mama's Boy 2.5/5
2008-06-10 11:26

Some humor although must of it was predictable. It was enjoyable for most of it, but I did find myself wanting the whole thing to end well before it did. Still, it's worth a rental if you need one. - John

Strange Wilderness (2008) 0.5/5
2008-06-03 17:15

I really wanted to like this movie. Good stars and produced by Happy Madison Productions. Truth is I couldn't. My wife left after 30 minutes and after an hour+, I ended up turning it off. - John

Rambo (2008) 4/5

AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007) 2/5
2008-05-02 11:49

Just okay really. It did fit the bill for alien hunting and all that, but something just seemed missing. I think it was the eventual cooperation between hero and predator that was missing. - John

The Assassination of Jesse James by the... 4/5
2008-04-17 11:59

An excellent "character study" type of movie. It's not all gunplay at all, which is both good and bad. It's very well done however and certainly worth seeing.

Beowulf (2007) 4/5
2008-03-14 11:38

Incredibly violent and certainly not for kids or the faint of heart. Still, overall it was a cool movie. Worth renting. - John

Hitman (2007) 3.5/5
2008-03-12 12:04

I liked it overall, but then I'm a big fan of the games. I'm not sure a non-fan would be so into it. It's worth a rental though, for sure. - John
0.3
Michael Clayton (2007) 4.5/5
2008-03-12 12:03

A very excellent movie, but it does sort of drag out things you wish they would get too faster. It is an excellent flick though. - John
0.3
30 Days of Night (2007) 3/5
2008-03-12 12:01

It was an alright vampire movie. I wish it had more of their background though. They were some of the better vampires that I have ever seen in a movie. - John

Rendition (2007) 4.5/5
2008-03-04 11:43

This is a really great movie with a deep compelling story. - John

2008-02-17 16:15

Mr. Woodcock (2007) 4/5
2008-02-04 15:49

A bit predictably, but there were quite a few moments in this movie that I found were laugh out loud funny. Makes for a great rental movie. - John

Battlestar Galactica: Razor (2007) (TV) 3/5
2008-02-04 15:48

Good Luck Chuck (2007) 3.5/5
2008-01-16 14:07

Funny movie, but not for around kids or family. More bare breasts and simulated sex than I've ever seen in a movie. - John
0.3
Death Sentence (2007) 4.5/5
2008-01-14 11:59

I only knew the basics of this movie, but it turned out to have great acting and a story that I wanted to see how it would end. Worth a rental for sure. - John

3:10 to Yuma (2007) 4/5
2008-01-14 11:58

A top notch western with an excellent cast. I would't put it above some others like Tombstone or Open Range, but it's very good. - John
0.3
Eastern Promises (2007) 4.5/5
2008-01-07 12:48

Definately full of blood, gore, sex, and nudity. Viggo fights buck naked in a scene showing his jewels the whole time. Still, it's a decent movie because of the actors. Viggo was amazing in his role, which is why I gave such a high rating. - John
0.3
The Last Legion (2007) 4/5
2008-01-07 12:46

Now this was a very interesting take on the Arthurian legend and I liked it a lot. Excellent cast and the story kept me interested in the movie all the way through. - John

War (2007) 3.5/5
2008-01-07 12:45

0.3
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) 2.5/5
2008-01-07 12:44

No bad for what it is, but honestly...I liked the second one better. Still, it's a decent rental if you like zombies. - John
0.3
Meet the Robinsons (2007) 4.5/5
2008-01-07 12:43

This movie gets better each time you see it. Filled with bright colors, a fast moving, poignant story, and plenty of humor, Meet the Robinsons is appropriate for all ages. It concerns an orphan's search for a family. - Kevin
0.3
Ratatouille (2007) 5/5
2008-01-07 12:42

Another classic from your friends at Pixar. Ratatouille hits all the notes: comedy, a great story and excellent animation. It's about a Rat who just wants to cook. - Kevin
0.3
The Simpsons Movie (2007) 3.5/5
2008-01-07 12:40

The Simpsons finally go to the Movies! There is plenty to like about this movie. It is funny, and the animation is well done and not too flashy. However, this movie is not appropriate for kids. It has tons of innuendos and also some swearing. - Kevin
0.3
Shoot 'Em Up (2007) 4/5
2008-01-03 13:41

Very "Sin City" stylish and lots of great gunplay action. The story was a bit lacking, but it's just a guy-type action flick. - John
0.3
Kickin It Old Skool (2007) 2/5
2008-01-03 13:40

It was actually kind of funny and a bit enjoyable. Lot of great retro 80s stuff, but it does drag a bit and is predictable. - John
0.3
Delta Farce (2007) 0.5/5
2008-01-03 13:39

Don't waste your time unless it's on television and there's nothing better. Even then...get a book. - John

0.3
Stardust (2007) 3/5
2007-12-28 15:17

2007-12-28 15:16

A bunch of us watched this movie and overall, everyone truly enjoyed it. Quite funny and certainly worth a rental. - John

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's... 3.5/5
2007-12-20 13:34

Great special effects and fairly good story, but some of the end just seemed to fall flat for me. Still worth seeing though. - John
0.3
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) 5/5
2007-12-19 13:33

This movie, just like the previous two, is a must own excellent film. Highly recommended! - John
0.3
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix... 4/5
2007-12-17 13:32

I liked the movie overall, but why don't the adults just tell Harry more from the beginning. Would make his life much easier. - John
0.3
Superbad (2007) 4/5
2007-12-09 12:38

Certainly funny and lots of laughs. Reminded me of most of my high school senior year.

2007-11-29 22:31

Average laughs wrapped up in a fairly silly movie. -John
0.3
Ocean's Thirteen (2007) 3/5
2007-11-26 10:00

I found it a bit long and predictable, but it was certainly better then the last one. Of course the standard twists were all in the story. - John
0.3
Live Free or Die Hard (2007) 3.5/5
2007-11-24 20:27

The movie started out really entertaining and enjoyable and ended up leaving a fairly decent story in favor of impossible stunts. - John

2007-11-23 08:00

Very funny and enjoyable movie. I had heard it was't real great, but I was happy all those reviews were wrong. - John
0.3
License to Wed (2007) 3/5
2007-11-13 09:00

This movie was enjoyable, but also predictable. Robin Williams wasn't bad and you'll find at least 3 other stars of The Office in this cast too. - John
0.3
The Wendell Baker Story (2005) 3.5/5
2007-11-08 10:00

I actually liked this Luke Wilson movie. There was quite a few actors in it that I like and overall it was pretty good. - John
0.3
Spider-Man 3 (2007) 4/5
2007-11-04 00:09

I'd heard a lot of hype about this movie being very busy and it was, but that still didn't stop me from enjoying it all. I think much of it worked and I can see why it did well in the box office. - John

Mr. Brooks (2007) 4/5
2007-10-30 09:30

I liked this movie a lot even though I'm a bit conservative about the rating. The dynamic between Kevin Costner and William Hurt was excellent. Demi Moore was great as always. - John
0.3
Meet the Robinsons (2007) 4/5
2007-10-24 05:30

This was a great movie for the kids. The whole subject of time travel might confuse some younger ones, but for the right age it's a fun movie. - John
0.3
The Invisible (2007) 3/5
2007-10-20 09:00

Not a bad movie at all. The lead actor seems a little too sullen, but in this movie it seems to work alright. - John
0.3
4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) 3.5/5
2007-10-02 10:00

I liked this movie much better then the first one. Perhaps it was just due to the greater action sequences overall, but still it was a fun ride. - John

September, 2007
Knocked Up (2007) 3/5
2007-09-28 09:00

A Judd Apatow comedy that started out with laughs, but just went too far with the pregnancy jokes and eventually got old by the end. The language became more annoying then funny. - John
