  • American Graffiti 1973

    ★★★★★ Watched 15 Jun, 2012

    This was the first time I've ever purchased pop and popcorn at a movie.

  • Army of Darkness 1993

    ★★★★★ Watched 22 May, 2012

    The best movie I've seen since getting letterboxd.

  • Beneath the Planet of the Apes 1970

    ★★ Watched 19 May, 2012

    I made a mistake here. The film I actually saw was BEHIND the Planet of the Apes, a documentary about the making of the Planet of the Apes movies, but letterboxd won't let me remove this from my diary for some reason. I hated BENEATH the Planet of the Apes the first time I saw it because I was grossed out by the zombie people, spike-cage fight, etc. Now I think it's just a bad and unnecessary sequel. The documentary was pretty good though.

  • Breakdown 1997

    ★★★½ Watched 16 Aug, 2012

    A mind-bending twister.

  • Darkman 1990

    ★★★½ Watched 20 Jun, 2012

    Darkman had all the ingredients for a great movie: Sam Raimi, melting noses, a vat of chemicals... but I didn't think it was all that great! Maybe I was just too tired when I watched it. And my nose was stuffed up the whole time so that probably also factored in.

  • Day of the Dead 1985

    ★★★★½ Watched 31 Oct, 2012

    This is a good zombie movie! The acting is not the greatest, but the effects are pretty cool, and it even gives you some interesting ideas to chew over.

  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2004

    ★★★★ Watched 14 May, 2012 1

    The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the title.

  • Evil Dead 2013

    ★★★★ Watched 15 Apr, 2013

    While not as good as the original, I would be hard pressed to find a more disgustable film!

  • Father of the Bride 1991

    Watched 14 Jul, 2012

    Not really my cup of bride.

  • G.I. Joe: Retaliation 2013

    ★★ Watched 11 Apr, 2013

    A truly terrible disappointment that did not live up to its Power Rangers-ish predecessor. There are only two good sequences in the whole movie, for which I awarded it two stars.

  • Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah 1998

    ★★★★★ Watched 06 Jan, 2013

    Entertaining from start to finish, and chuck full of great quotes, this is one Godzilla movie that you don't need to fast forward through. Much like the 2009 Star Trek movie, it cleverly establishes an alternate timeline in which the original dinosaur that Godzilla was created from is teleported to the present day, erasing him from history. Then, scientists create a new Godzilla by shooting nuclear missiles at the dinosaur, although I don't know how they even remembered who Godzilla was if he never existed in the first place. Also, as a bonus Easter egg, you even get to see the origin of filmmaker Steven Spielberg!

  • Iron Man 3 2013

    ★★★½ Watched 04 May, 2013

    Unlike "To the Wonder," Iron Man Three was not at all what I had been expecting! The trailers for this movie were purposefully misleading, and I like that. I'm glad Iron Man 3 didn't just turn out to be a Dark Knight ripoff, but I also wish the story had been a little more straightforward. The jokes are basically just people saying, "Yeah, I'm in a superhero movie. Pretty much!" It's the same obnoxious sense of humor that characterizes all…
