It's worth seeing in the theater; nice special effects. A little...scratch that, very formulaic with your typical reluctant hero dialogue. The main woman actress (Lynn Collins) is a fox. I spent most of my time focusing on her.

I just caught this in IMAX last night and I would agree with pretty much all of this. Good theater movie, very little down-time, but that also meant that there was not as much story development as they probably could have done. I liked how they did his first few moments in Mars.

Good mindless entertainment.

Agreed. I think if they had chosen an actor with more presence and ability to carry the film, and put more into the story it could have been really good instead of mediocre - above average.

Lynn Collins on the other hand had my complete and undivided attention every second she was on the screen.

Saw the full version of Apocalypse Now-redux last night. I know its an old classic but my god i see why its so well known. Definite 10.

John Carter 5/10. Meh, cool storyline (and ending) but it's a Disney, and so the script was so corny. My favorite is the dog. His smushy nose reminds me of my dog.

I watched 21 Jump Street and that was the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Worth the watch. 8 out of 10.

TheCowboy · 03-18-2012

Not a review but the new 3 Stooges movie looks like an interesting watch.

ChldsPlay · 03-18-2012

The Vow - 6/10. Some really strong moments mixed in with some pretty weak moments. Would have been a lot better if the last act was stronger. Channing Tatum wasn't too bad, and with this performance, along with 21 Jump Street, I no longer hate him.

Hunger Games. 8/10.

Act of Valor 9/10

This movie is thrilling and captivating to watch. The action and tactics were very good and human drama surrounding the Seal team members were realistic. Acting wasn't very good but that was expected with docu-drama. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the movie.

I've occasionally interacted with Seam Team members when I was stationed in Guam, storing their weapons in my Armory and in real life they are as cocky as displayed in the movie, which I had no problem with.

The Descendants 9/10 Very suspenseful

ChldsPlay · 03-23-2012

American Reunion - 6/10. Probably my least favorite of the bunch. I'd say it's slightly below American Wedding, and significantly below the first 2. It's still much better than all the other straight to video American Pie offshoots. As usual Jim (and his dad) along with Stiffler are the main source of laughter.

Saw Shutter Island on the premium channel last night.

What a head banger.

In circles.

From coming on the island as detective to patient to labatomy....

Goon - 8/10

I'm not a huge hockey fan, but this was really good. Lots of laughs and you really do like the main character.

Saw both of these on Saturday...

The Hunger Games: 6.5/10...they did about as much with this story on screen as could realistically be expected. The problem for me is that the story is inherently flawed. It just seemed like a hodge-podge of a stereotypical distopian society (with an evil government figurehead) and heroine with dualing love interests with the shock of kids killing kids thrown in for novelty. This idea is supported IMO by the fact that so many fans of the first book were dissapointed with the second and third editions, the story just isnt meant to really hold up. The filmmakers did well with what they had to work with though and I certainly wasnt bored.

Safe House: 8/10...as far as "turn your brain off and be entertained" action movies go this one was pretty good. A better story with a less obvious ending could have made this a real favorite of mine.

I caught this about 20 minutes in on TV the other night. I thought I was going to like it based on the trailer, but I really didn't care for it all that much. I definitely thought it would be funnier, but I didn't laugh much at all. I'd give it a 5/10.
