Fast Five, Usual Suspects, Zardoz

Fast-five-movie-poster1

The Fast and the Furious franchise is one of the most vapid franchise ever created. It's no surprise that Fast Five follows the trend. 3/5

Usual_suspects

The Usual Suspects holds up incredibly well. It's still a fun thriller. 3.75/5

 

Zardoz

I'm not sure what happened in Zardoz but it is freakishly odd. I love the 70's film making. 3.75/5

Bridge on the River Kwai, Les Diabolique, Man Who Would be King

Bridge on the River Kwai is one of my favorite films. It's in my top ten. Just a perfect movie and it looks even better on blu-ray. 5/5

 

Lesdiaboliquesposter

Les Diabolique is a great thriller. I highly recommend it. Again the blu-ray is just impressive. 4.25/5

I enjoyed The Man Who Would be King. It's not great but Michael Caine and Sean Connery do great jobs. It's like a British version of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. 3.5/5

Hall Pass, Green Hornet, The Rock

Hall-pass-poster

Hall Pass feels incredibly dated and tired. It plays out exactly the way you would expect. 2.5/5

Green-hornet-poster

On second viewing, Green Horne has quite a few problems. The biggest is the very tired second act. It's worth watching once but not more than that. 2.5/5

 

The_rock_poster

I really didn't expect to like The Rock. I'm not a huge Michael Bay fan and not having seen it in 10 years, my expectations were pretty low. It suffers from the problem all Bay films has, which is it runs about 15-20 minutes longer than it should. Still, it is easily the best thing Bay has done. 3.75/5

Knocked Up, Waterworld, Napoleon Dynamite, The Avengers

  
  

Knocked-up

Knocked Up is one of my favorite Judd Apatow films but at 2 hrs 15 min, it goes on a bit to long. 3.75/5

 

Waterworld-posters

I've tried to watch Waterworld three times now and I just can't do it. It's such a bad movie and it's just not fun. 0.5/5

 

Napoleon_dynamite_poster

A modern classic, Napoleon Dynamite is a very unique film. I can't say I've seen anything else quite like it. Sadly, I think we've seen the best from everyone involved in the movie. 4/5

 

Theavengers

I know The Avengers is a bad film but I just enjoy it. It's got very campy performances, men wearing giant teddy bear costumes and a script filled with puns and double entendres. What I don't understand is why more people don't enjoy the movie? 3.25/5
