Movie Reviews

It's that time again.... my movie reviews!!!!

Atonement

My rating: 8.5/10
IMDB Rating: 7.9/10

Definitely an unrealistic tragic love story, just like Titanic. They meet for like two seconds, separated by scandal and then... you can probably guess the end. I'm not saying this is a bad movie, Titanic is in my top 10, I'm just saying it's like Titanic without the boat. The cinematography, costumes, music, acting, etc, was amazing. I'll probably buy this one.

Penelope
My Rating: 7/10
IMDB Rating: 7.4/10

It's good in a G rated way. It's a parable about accepting who you are no matter what you look like. Cute movie, actors are good. Reese Witherspoon is only in it for like 2 seconds. I'm liking Christina Ricci more and more these days. I wouldn't buy this, probably wouldn't have the patients to watch it again.

It was an ok movie. Lot's of numbers and talking in code, you just want to yell "ok, we get the point, your smart!" I don't know, I don't think I would see this again.


The Ruins
My Rating: 8/10
IMDB Rating: 6.5/10

I don't know if this could be a true rating because I watched this movie in segments while working projection. Every time I walked by I had to stop, turn on the sound and watch it for a few minutes, sometimes several. Maybe it was because it was a horror movie and it's natural to want to see if they'll die or not, but I really liked it. I hate horror movies, but I liked this one. The enemies in this movie were plants, so maybe that's why I could handle it. I'd watch it again, maybe buy it.

Doomsday
My Rating:1/10
IMDB Rating: 6.5/10

Don't watch this!!!! Not even an action obsessed, single, 40 year old male would like this movie. The whole movie was just heads being cut off in different ways. They blew up a bunny! Kevin and Nathan, I'm sorry I sat through that with you, we should have left. We had a good laugh though.

Run Fat Boy Run
My Rating:5/10
IMDB Rating: 6.9/10

Josh and I watched the first 30 minutes then walked out. I can walk out of movies now since I don't have to pay for them. Anyway, the entire theater was laughing their heads off and Josh and I weren't. Apparently everyone I spoke to who watched this movie thought it was hilarious. Is there something wrong with my sense of humour? It was like a cartoon, eg. He steps on a broom, the broom flies up and hits him in the face, he falls to the ground and then farts. Cartoon humour.
