  • Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 2011

    ★★ Added

    Fairly ridiculous action sequences, pretty horrible acting. On the plus side the special effects are impressivish.

    I assume the people giving it good reviews are Scientology plants.

  • Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2011

    ★★★★ Added 4

    This movie had an appropriate amount of monkey fighting.

  • The Ides of March 2011

    ★★★★ Added

    Pretty good political drama. Kinda like a bizarro west wing where everyone's a dick.

  • Predator 2 1990

    ★★★ Added

    This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  • The Debt 2010

    ★★★★ Added

    Enjoyable mix of historical fiction, personal drama and nazi-hunting. Worth a watch.

  • Abduction 2011

    ½ Added 10

    What do you mean I can't choose zero? This was the worst waste of time I've ever endured, and I studied law for a year.

    The only reason I didn't walk out is that I was stuck in the middle of row jammed full of tweens and I was concerned they might lynch me if I blocked their view of that vampire guy for even a microsecond.

  • Restrepo 2010

    ★★★★½ Added

    An unvarnished view of the war in afghanistan. You watch a bunch of well-meaning soldiers serve in an outpost in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan. You see them struggle with the local insurgents and accidentally kill local civilians.

    It's a pretty unflattering view of the conflict, and should be required viewing before you make up your mind on the merits, or otherwise, of continued presence in Afghanistan.

  • A Few Best Men 2011

    Added

    This is a pretty formulaic wedding comedy, but a few funny scenes rescue it from being completely terrible. I'd watch it if it were on TV, but wouldn't recommend it to others.

  • Setup 2011

    ½ Watched 02 Jan, 2012

    This film wasn't worth the price of admission. I pirated it and this remains true
