Arthur, The 6th Day, Mission Impossible 2

Arthur_300

A horrible misstep on almost every level. Arthur is yet another example of taking a film and not understanding what makes it work in the first place. 2/5

The-6th-day-2000

Possibly the worst Arnie film, The 6th Day is just a horrible waste of celluloid. 1.5/5

 

Missionimpossibleii

Hands down the worst of the MI films. Mission Impossible II is Hollywood gone crazy. John Woo films don't hold up very well. 1.5/5

Hanna, Lorna the Exorcist, Interview with the Vampire

Hanna-poster

Hanna is an amazing movie. One of the best of the year. 4.5/5 

 

Lorna-the-exorcist

I don't know why I watch Jess Franco films. They are usually just bad porn with a thin story. This one is no exception. 2/5 

 

Interview_with_the_vampire_mov

WOW, what a boring film. I remember how much excitement this film generated when released. The joke is Tom Cruise does a great job but Brad Pitt looks oddly miscast. Don't need to see that ever again. 2/5

Lethal Weapon, Star Wars, Mission Impossible 3

Lethal-weapon-poster

I don't own Lethal Weapon but after watching it on Blu-ray, I'll definitely pick it up. So much fun. I wish Shane Black would write more movies. 4/5

Star-wars-poster

I used to love Star Wars. Before the prequels I would have put it as one of my favorites, now there are so many stupid questions that don't make sense that I can't enjoy it as much. 3.75/5

 

Missionimpossible3_poster

Easily the best of the lot, Mission Impossible 3 is lots of fun and has one of the best MacGuffins in film history. 3.75/5

Iron Man 2, Knight and Day, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse

Iron_man_2

I enjoyed Iron Man 2 much more the second time. I have new problems with the film now but I can over look it. 3.5/5

Knight_and_day

Knight and Day wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I found it to be a lot of fun. It's shallow and stupid but really fun. 3.5/5

 

Superman-batman-apocalypse-bdc

I've never been a fan of Micheal Turner and using his art as the basis of Superman/Batman Apocalypse kills the characters a bit. It's still worth watching and the final showdown is kick ass. 3.5/5

Destricted, Rampo Noir, Vanilla Sky

  

Destricted

How do you make porn pretentious and boring, let a bunch of artistic director's do a series of short films. Some of the short in Destricted are brilliant, while other shorts just dull or annoying. 3/5

 

Rampo_noir

Interesting collection of short films. If you like anthology films, Rampo Noir is a good pick. 3.5/5

 

Vanilla_sky

Vanilla Sky isn't a bad film. You realize that it could just be better if done by a director that knew how to handle the material. If Cronenburg or Lynch had done this instead of Cameron, it would have been amazing instead of just ok. 3/5
