  • Django Unchained 2012

    ★★★★★ Watched 16 Dec, 2012

    Finally, a Tarantino movie I can hold in the same equivalent as Pulp Fiction. It's got a lot better pacing that most Tarantino movies. The performances overall, are fantastic (I hope Dicaprio gets his overdue Oscar for it) and amazing action. There's a shootout in this movie that's one of the best(and bloodiest) action sequences I've seen this year. My (VERY SMALL) issues are an almost excessive use of nigger. I know it's how people talked at the time, but…

  • The Dark Knight Rises 2012

    ★★★★★ Watched 20 Jul, 2012

    Just see it. No other words are necessary.

  • Wreck-It Ralph 2012

    ★★★½ Watched 25 Oct, 2012

    I was so insanely hyped to see this movie ever since that first trailer came out. Seriously, that “bad guy counseling” scene was like something out of the hopes and dreams I’ve had since I was about 4 years old. Now that I’ve seen the movie, did it live up to my own personal hype? Welll……..yes and no.


    By yes, I’m directly referring to like the first 30-40 minutes of the movie. Everything in that period was perfect. I was…

  • Batman Begins 2005

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 19 Jul, 2012

    I totally forgot how fucking great this movie is.

  • Iron Man 3 2013

    ★★★★ Watched 10 May, 2013

    It reminded me of The Dark Knight Rises, except without it being a massive disappointment.

  • The Grey 2011

    ★★★★ Watched 21 May, 2012

    This is NOT Taken with wolves. And I'm glad it didn't take that route.

  • In Bruges 2008

    ★★★ Watched 28 May, 2012

    A fun, quirky little dramedy. Ralph Fiennes is definitely the highlight. However, people were overhyping the shit out of this for me, so it kinda ruined a little of the enjoyment.

  • The Expendables 2 2012

    ★★★★ Watched 14 Aug, 2012

    Pretty much what the first movie should've been.

  • A Good Day to Die Hard 2013

    Watched 13 Feb, 2013

    Let me just state beforehand, that I’m a gigantic Die Hard fan. I even enjoyed the last movie, even though it was fucking ridiculous at some points.

    That being said, This movie is fucking dogshit.

    It fails on nearly every single level. The writing, garbage. The acting, terrible. (Bruce Willis was the best thing, but everyone else…yeesh.) The editing, shaky for no fucking reason. The action, about like 3 cool moments. All of it just…I can't even elaborate on this…

  • Safe House 2012

    ★★ Watched 24 May, 2012

    Ryan Reynolds gives a decent performance, and Denzel simply commands the screen(as usual), but MY GOD is this movie generic.

  • Savages 2012

    ★★★ Watched 04 Jul, 2012

    Not as over-the-top as I hoped, but still pretty fun.

  • The Man with the Iron Fists 2012

    ★★★★½ Watched 06 Nov, 2012

    SO HYPED. THIS MOVIE HAS GOT ME SO RIDICULOUSLY HYPED RIGHT NOW. SO AWESOME. The main character was kinda bland compared to everyone else but STILL. SO AWESOME.
