The Social Network

(2010)

Yes I think it’s actually that good, yes I think Trent actually did totally slay on the scoring, and yes most of the time I thought I was watching Michael Cera

The Edge

(1997)

Never mind that from the scoring to the directing to the writing to the acting pretty much everyone but Anthony Hopkins fucked up some major shit, cuz somehow this movie is still really awesome.

Bubble

(2005)

When making this “style” of indie realist film there is no margin for errors and one of the many things that make this movie amazing is I think there actually aren’t any.

Centurion

(2010)

Some fine cinematography but the gratuitous amounts of blood and mutilation make it only slightly more disgusting than the dialogue and lack of authenticity in detail make it ridiculous.

The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans

(2009)

Okay, so if cops just smoked more crack they could fix everything, right?

Bottle Shock

(2008)

Wow, this is one of the worst after school specials I’ve ever seen (hammy writing, flagrant overacting etc.), yet I must’ve been asked about thirty times if I’d seen it.

Johnny Dangerously

(1984)

who woulda guessed that this movie was actually really funny?

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

(2009)

Whoa, for a second there I thought Agatha Christie was alive and well and writing under a Swedish pseudonym and oh, watching way too much Law & Order SVU.

Becket

(1964)

In spite of Peter O’Toole’s over-the-top performance, this movie somehow manages to still be totally boring.

A Serious Man

(2009)

A nifty but noticeably unsatisfying jewish movie for jewish people about jewishness and jewish things on top of which they had a hard time thinking up an ending again.

Jerry Maguire

(1996)

Dude, I totally cried n shit.

The Special Relationship

(2010)

At first it seems like a very astute movie about the true nature of relationships, but on a deeper level it’s about how great Tony Blair was and how Bill Clinton was a real shitbag.

Death of a President

(2006)

Oh my god, it’s a veritable coup d’etat of great acting, directing, editing, writing, cinematograhy, thinking and above all genius casting. Wow, this is genius on every level.  See it now if you didn’t then.

Lost in La Mancha

(2002)

If you’ve booked your elderly lead because he looks pathetic enough to play Don Quixote, or if you’re going to lease a nearly wothless tract of land to shoot in Spain when the Spaniard leasing agent says “well there’s only one leetle problem with it”,  just walk away.

Intermission

(2003)

There’s some great performances and some great clever writing here but ultimately someone should’ve lobotomized this writer before he was actually allowed to complete the “4th wall breaking” part of this mess.

The Savages

(2007)

It took me a good 30 minutes befor I went “ew, what an awful idea for a movie” and turned it off.
