I have watched a few movies the past few days. Here is a quick rundown. Anything you read that says otherwise is full of it.
Apocalypto - If I’d known beforehand that I’d be reading subtitles the whole movie I most likely would have passed on this one. I was already on the fence just because it was from Mel Gibson, but turned out to be really good. Of course it was gory as all fuck. Gibson has some issues.
Shooter - Was really shocked by this one. Great storyline and I found the acting equally as good. While watching it I kept thinking how it reminded me of watching Rambo fuck shit up when I was a kid. Didn’t know Marky Mark could be such a badass.
The Fountain - I knew this movie would be strange and is mainly why I wanted to see it. Some parts were so slow and drawn out it almost lost me, but the ending made it all worth it.
Breach - Great movie. Almost didn’t give it a fair chance cause I wasn’t fully paying attention in the beginning , but it sucked me in. No huge twists or crazy ending, just a movie that is good from start to finish.
Ratatouille - Not bad, kinda long for a kids movie. We have seen it twice already. Not near as funny as it’s said to be.
Ghost Rider - Coulda been good. Ghost Rider wasn’t nearly as cool as in the comics, but the visuals were nice, and I thought the characters were decent. Unfortunately the story was lame and the bad guys were pretty shitty. The part I had the most trouble choking down was the young Johnny Blaze looks absolutely nothing like the grown version that is Nicholas Cage . What a joke.
Next - I really wanted to like this movie, but it’s pure crap. There is no explanation as to why dude has his powers and the way this fbi chick figures out about the 2 minutes he can see into the future is just too much to be believable. It only gets worse as it goes on. When the main character starts splitting into different time periods of himself near the end I was ready to flush this turd. I wouldn’t dislike Cage so much if he weren’t in so many bad movies.
The Abandoned - I truly believe this movie was written and filmed completely on-the-fly. No plot, no scares, and no reason to ever speak of this steaming pile ever again.
Epic Movie - What the fuck was I thinking
