50/50-It got great reviews but I didn't see the appeal. It wasn't a bad movie but it wasn't one you remember much about once it over. It was just kind of there. It was like the movie started and then it ended with nothing in between.

Screenwriter makes a screenplay loosely based on his struggle with cancer?

Yeah critics eat that shit up.

Haven't seen the movie, but bolded parts sum up how I choose movies. If the film got great reviews from the critics, I usually avoid it since it is probably some sappy schlock or it is over-dramatized to the point of being terrible. Seems like critics these days have gotten too far removed from what most mainstream movies are intended to be, which is entertaining to the general audience and not just to some highbrow snooty film school graduate.

Anyway......

Last movie I saw was Hanna. She is one bad ass mofo. Fun movie.

I like movies that make you either leave the theater smiling and giggling or ones that have you thinking afterward. I'd already forgotten about this one by the time I got up out of my seat. Like I said, it wasn't horrible, it was just very unremarkable.

So far this year some of the best movies that I've seen are ones that the critics panned like Hangover 2, The Big Year, 30 Minutes or Less, The Change Up while some of their highest rated have been super snooze fests.

You must've really liked Limitless, you put it twice. I bolded the ones that I saw and liked, Super 8 I saw but I didn't particularly like it. The kids irritated me. I wanted to see Win Win but it was playing on the other side of town, it never made it to the west valley. Just another reason that I need to move to Scottsdale, there's no small art house theaters out here that play the limited release movies.

Oops that's what I get for not proofreading. Typos fixed.

Little Red Riding Hood took the tenth spot...I'm a sucker for dark forest type movies (Sleepy Hollow, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Brothers Grimm and yes even The Village). Despite it's flaws Battle: LA would probably be next in line. There are more than the usual silly holiday military movie cliches but they get credit for trying.

The only thing that really annoyed me about Super 8 was the fact that the area west of Dayton was portrayed as looking like SE Ohio instead of the flatland it is.

Wasn't too impressed with Killer Elite. The car chases sucked (too much up close action blocking filming), the fight scenes sucked (same reason as the car chases), the movie was focused too much around Statham and not around Owen or DeNiro (which was the movies only real hope to be any good). Overall, just... overrated.

Every bit as disturbing as I expected it to be.

I was going to watch this one night on Netflix, but as always I read up on it first to see if it would be something I would like. What I read did not really catch my interest, and I believe the stuff I read said it was a Blair Witch type of hoax portrayed to be real.
