I watch too many movies. Here’s a list of some of the movies I have seen in the last year….<\/p>\n
1. The Three Musketeers 2011<\/em> \/ I saw this movie in 1993. This version was technologically more sophisticated, so for that, it’s worth watching over the 1993 version.<\/p>\n 2. Drive<\/em> <\/strong>\/ I thought I was watching a movie from the early 90s. I think the theme was intentional. I actually enjoyed this movie. For me it’s primarily the soundtrack. This one pulled it off well. It’s pretty violent.<\/p>\n 3. Columbiana<\/em> <\/strong>\/ I’ve seen this movie already. It was called Hanna<\/em>. Even so, these Bourne’esque movies (female versions) are still pretty awesome. Hanna <\/em>was better, but this was worth watching.<\/p>\n 4. The Departed<\/em> \/ I chose this from an IMDB top 250 list. It was within the top 50 so I figured I had a good chance. It didn’t quite cut it. I didn’t finish it. Boring.<\/p>\n 5. The Ledge<\/em> <\/strong>\/ Interesting plot. Scary portrait of Christendom, but probably pretty accurate for a certain segment. Even so, I enjoyed the movie.<\/p>\n 6. The Change Up<\/em> \/ A few funny scenes. Hardly memorable. Probably not worth watching.<\/p>\n 7. Everything Must Go<\/em> \/ I love Will Farrell. Old School<\/em> was one of the finest movies ever made. I love The Elf<\/em>. I continue to give Farrell a chance and he continues to disappoint. I didn’t finish this movie. Boring.<\/p>\n 8. Set up<\/em> \/ Bruce Willis. Cookie cutter plot. I used to love Willis’ movies. They’ve gone downhill for a while. There’s no reason to watch this movie.<\/p>\n 9. The Conspirator<\/em> <\/strong>\/ Interesting. A movie that revolves around the death of Lincoln. Lincoln was a wicked man. This happened to be a good movie. Not very memorable, but it was worth watching. The history of the US is as ugly as the present situation.<\/p>\n 10. The Veteran<\/em> \/ This plot has been done hundreds of times. Criminal released from prison is asked to do a job. The plot revolves around the job. Boring.<\/p>\n 11. Crazy Stupid Love<\/em> \/ I love Steve Carell. That love was mostly limited to The Office<\/em>. Carell has never really impressed me in movies, outside of Little Miss Sunshine<\/em>.\u00a0 This movie was not worth watching.<\/p>\n 12. Bridesmaids<\/em> \/ A whole lot of awkward. A few funny scenes. A couple people I like in this movie: Maya Rudolph (SNL), and Melissa McCarthy are pretty funny. Probably not worth watching.<\/p>\n 13.\u00a0 Heshser<\/em> \/ This was a really odd movie. Entertaining a little, but mostly too strange. I wouldn’t recommend the movie.<\/p>\n 14. The Road <\/em><\/strong>\/ The future. The world is dying. Fight for survival. Scary. Interesting. I suppose it’s worth watching.<\/p>\n 15. Apaloosa<\/em> <\/strong>\/ Cowboy movie. I always enjoy these. This was no exception. Good actors, good plot. This was a great movie and I enjoyed it a lot.<\/p>\n 16. Miral<\/em> <\/strong>\/ Israel. Palestinians. This was an excellent movie. Excellent. Sub-titled. A good piece of historical insight. It’s not popular to be pro-Palestine. This movie is definitely worth watching.<\/p>\n 17. Ironclad<\/em> \/ It looked so promising. The cinematography. The soundtrack. A lot of money does not buy awesome. This movie was just lacking. The plot was weak – so no amount of money is going to make this worth watching.<\/p>\n 18. Hot Tub Time Machine<\/em> \/ A little funny. Going back in time through a hot tub. That’s pretty unique. Unique in itself was not enough. I wouldn’t recommend it.<\/p>\n 19. Wrecked<\/em> \/ Horrible. I thought for sure it would get better. The movie strung me along in hope that it would take a turn for the better. It doesn’t. The movie was a major disappointment.<\/p>\n 20. The Back Up Plan<\/em> \/ Jennifer Lopez. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Horrible, Horrible movie.<\/p>\n 21. Fast Five 2011<\/em> <\/strong>\/ These have always been entertaining. This was no exception. Vin Diesel versus the Rock. Oh yea. I love both of these guys. This movie cost $125 million to produce. Pretty impressive. I enjoyed it.<\/p>\n 22. Xmen First Class<\/em> \/ Sick special effects. $160 million to produce. The plot was hardly memorable. But the money spent on special effects certainly made this entertaining. Sadly, that in itself doesn’t make a good movie.<\/p>\n 23. Conviction<\/em> <\/strong>\/ Hilary Swank is such a good actress. This movie didn’t have the budget of the last two movies at a mere $12 million, but it compensates in a good plot and some stellar performance. This movie is worth watching.<\/p>\n 24. Paul<\/em> <\/strong>\/ Very unusual. Awesome. I loved this movie. It was absolutely hilarious. Sophisticated script and super entertaining. Very funny. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n 25. 5 Days of War<\/em> <\/strong>\/ Awesome movie. Superb. Movies with an anchor in significant historical events interest me. This one revolved around the conflict between Russian and Georgia. This movie paints a picture the news media didn’t. It reminds me of Miral<\/em> and the pro-Israelii picture the media presents. Highly recommended movie.<\/p>\n 26. Water for Elephants<\/em> \/ ok. The movie was entertaining. It had its moments. I don’t know. I’m not sure if I’d recommend it.<\/p>\n 27. IP Man 2<\/em> \/ Chinese movie. Excellent. The fight scenes were incredible. This was a great movie if you’re into kung fu.<\/p>\n 28. Faster<\/em> \/ Vin Diesel. Revenge. A good plot. The acting is a bit lacking, but overall the movie was a bit entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I watch too many movies.
