    It's really not worth it. I'd just say skip through to the robot scenes. They spend way too much time on that kid's story and it's annoying. They were watching it here at work and I totally didn't want to sit through it again.

    American Gangster 7/10:

    Good movie all round, probably went for too long a little over 2.5 hours. Denzel is typically good, and while I usually dont like Crowe, he plays his part very well apart from the horrible accent. Im sure other people will enjoy it more than me, Id say its kind of similar to Donnie Brasco.

    "A Mighty Heart" - 5/10

    Bullshit!

    It's the kinda crap that would probably generate an Oscar nomination for Jolie, as she's sporting a "French" accent and is looking more "homely" than usual...in addition to the usual "Oscar winning" crying and bawling. :rolleyes:

    But the film is so boring and uninspiring...

    Saw American Gangster last night. It wasn't bad but certainly not the "epic" that it was made out to be. The only thing epic about it was the running time. Russell Crowe's character was a bore. The only thing that was "different" about him from other cops is that he didn't take a pile of money when he had an opportunity.

    The movie just lacked intensity and i came close to falling asleep during it.

    Ridley Scott directed ALIEN and Blade Runner...two of the greatest sci-fi films of all times.

    So kiss my ass, you damn commie.

    He hasn't made many bad films, that's for sure. "Hannibal" comes to mind. I didn't see "G.I. Jane". I've liked just about everything he's done.

    Unlike some of you I did enjoy the Transformers. I don't know what you clowns were expecting to see. I saw an adaptation to the cartoon I watched as a kid. Pretty good special effects and decent story.:clap:

    Actually I heard alot of hype about this movie and was ready for a let down but I did enjoy it from beginning to end. I also enjoyed Megan Fox:cheer:

    HOSTEL 2

    2/10

    The first hostel was very realisitc and people who are into horrors could really have a fun experience. They could picture themselves in that situation, not the case with hostel 2, which was pure and utter garbage. Unrealistic and dumb as hell. Most shocking ending in horror history? That's what they said? It was a joke of all jokes and the ending was dumb as hell. The girl buys her freedom and thats it? What the hell is that? The ending was VERY flat plus you had so many idiotic moments, such as a tiny girl waving around a huge ax and chopping heads off with one swing haha stupid! plus there is so much more stupidity to it, the only good part to it and thats where the 2/10 comes instead of 0/10 is the little twist when it turned out that the guy who was talking the talk turned out to be the decent one and the one that was quiet and supposedly good turned out evil. that's all. so to sum it all up. don't waste this piece of shit.

    It looks pretty brutal so I'll check it out. But like the last Rocky it will be no where near the first movie. Just a decen sequel compared to the last sequels that were made.

    You will be be at the movie theatre so save it.:nono:

    SAW IV

    6.5/10


    Not bad but not of the latter saws come close to the original. I wish they concetrated more on the story like they did in the original istead of the gore.

    NEXT - 6/10 - Started out good and I was actually thinking "maybe I should have given this movie a chance long ago". WRONG! They start this sequence where he's spending precious movie time looking for some damn chick. I mean it was Jessica Biel and all, BUT STILL! It ruined the movie. Then, at the end, it got good again but with an ending that will likely piss you off. Also, Cage doesn't fit this guy well. I constantly found myself wishing they had a younger guy, mainly because there's no way he would have been banging Biel. Not with that hairdo.
    Advice - Go in expecting shit. That way you won't be disappointed.
    Rewatchability - 3/5

    THE REAPING - 2.5/10 - I knew this would suck. I mean the negativity was just too consistent. Still, I had to see for myself. It was beyond horrible. The only thing keeping it from a lower score is some cool special effects, that's it. Here's what you basically get: Swank walking around some swamp chasing a little girl, a bunch of halocinogenic flashbacks, and a plot that is not only confusing but doesn't really explain itself. They left the possibility of a sequel, but there's no way any one would go see :shit: part 2.
    Advice - Don't watch it.
    Rewatchability - 0/5 - This would be a great torture technique.
