(51) Walled In (2009)
Anne was on a horror movie kick and was watching terrible horror movies for a few days. We decided to watch this one. It has a crazy plot, something that could honestly work in real life. Russia is scary. It's basically about a women who is going to tear down a building where this mass murderer was said to be a foreman and he hid his victims in the walls. Hence the name Walled in. It had a few creepy parts I mean a massive condemned building has potential to freak you right out. It had the creepy little kid from Running Scared in it. It uh.... Sucked, not even a little good. It had potential to be scary and the base story wasn't bad. That's about all the good I have to mention. Don't waste your time. 1 out of 5.
(52) A-Team (2010)
I was super Pumped from this from the first time I heard Rampage Jackson Whistle the Theme in the Trailer. I am going to go ahead and address the critical problem with this film that people seem to have. Yes, Mr. T is still alive. So why Didn't they get Mr. T. to play B.A.? Because, HE IS OLD!!!! I mean The Character B.A. is not older than Hannibal, Hannibal is supposed to the oldest not B.A.! So was I upset that Mr. T wasn't in it. No. I wasn't. Mr. T. Sorry buddy, but years have passed, you should have gotten over yourself and made a Cameo like the rest of the original A-team. So did I like Rampage Jackson as B.A.? Let's see? B.A. mostly stands for Bad ass. When I think Bad Ass, I think Fighter. When I think Fighter I think UFC. Wait.... holy crap Rampage Jackson was in the UFC? Well, I guess he fits the character. I loved him as B.A.!!! It was amazing. I thought, this needs to be extremely over the top action film with insanely over the top stunts, explosions, scenarios, wrecks, and bombs in order for this to be anything like the television show. Guess what. They Flew a Tank. They blew up planes, helicopters, truck, ships, boats, and everything in-between. If you are in the mood for a good action flick, which sometimes I am. Then buy this movie, don't mess around Buy it for later enjoyment. 5 massive explosions out of 5.
(53) Halo Legends (2009)
I love Anime, I love Video games so when I heard about this anime take on one of my favorite video game franchises I was excited. I have played every Halo game with the exception of Halo wars, which I just didn't want to play. I wasn't alone on that. A lot of my friends who play Halo skipped that one. Ok, There were Seven stories in the Halo world, I thought the Japanese one with the Covenant was the best. I think this was really great, I thought some of it were a little long winded, but overall I really liked it. The different animation styles along with the stories within the world of Halo, I liked it. It makes me want to read the books. It was very good. If you like Anime, you will like it. If you like Halo you will like it. If you are crazy over Halo, you will have criticism to share. Fanatics are fanatics and I am that way on Comic book stuff. I do think that if you don't like Anime and you don't like Halo you will not like Halo Legends. So for the long scenes that weren't entertaining I take off a point, but otherwise I liked it. 4 out of 5.
(54) The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)
Denzel Washington and John Travolta, together. Should be awesome right. Well.... Travolta just seemed like the exact same character as he has played in the past. It wasn't that great. It was mildly intense at times, but when a rat makes the best scene in the movie, I don't know. The ending was drop dead stupid. I thought the movie could have been amazing, if they would have gave you an ending that you didn't want to happen, but when it comes down to it, it was just a good action flick, not a great one. I'll give it a point each for John and Denzel, throw in the rat and you get a 3 out of 5.
(55) Shrek: Forever After. (2010)
Anne and I went to see this on our anniversary in Greensboro N.C. we went down to see Jared Arny and spend some time with him While his wife Scarlett and kids were away. We went to this movie the day before meeting up with Jared. We did not see the 3 d version. I will get my feeling for Shrek out of the way. I loved the first one, Liked the second one and this one looked great. Oh.. did I miss one, no ok. Walt Dohrn was amazing!!! Amazing!! I loved the witches I laughed! I thought the Rumpelstiltskin thing was exactly what this series needed. Who doesn't want to forget the 3rd Shrek movie it was terrible. This movie gave the series a well needed fresh breath. It couldn't go out on that terrible 3rd one. So this one had lots of good comedy. Good classic shrek moments, I liked the new take on old characters, Puss in boots as a fatty was great, I thought the ogre war was a little much though. All and All it gave fans of the series what they really needed. Closure. 4 out of 5.
(56) The Book of Eli (2009)
I watched the trailer and flipped out. Then I figured out that Mila Kunis is in it. Then I flipped out again. I do love me some Kunis. Mila in blue jeans and getting shot at. I'll Sign up. I did sign up. For all you women reading this, Anne bought me this movie and hated it. Not because of Mila, but because she doesn't like doomsday movies. I thought the twist at the end was amazing. I loved re-watching it and picking up on it. Really cool. I loved the whole movie. Gary Oldman was amazing as always. I really thought he pulled out the stops for this one. It was a super creepy movie, really let you know exactly how humans are going to be when the end of the planet happens. Evil shall inherit the earth. It's going to be tough at the end. I thought the movie was good from the beginning to the end. Well, almost from beginning to end the cat thing..sad.. :-{ One thing I noticed was the soundtrack, What an outstanding soundtrack. Way good movie. A huge rush at times, massive rush. The chainsaw WOW. 5 detached limbs out of 5.
(57) It's complicated (2009)
This one, guess what Anne picked it out. I didn't hate it. I like Meryl Streep, she is funny. Alec Baldwin won me over in 30 rock Steve Martin is a golden ticket to laughter. However, It was of course John Krasinski that stole the show. Who doesn't love them some Jim. I dare you not to love him. I DARE YOU. Best part of the whole movie was when Jim figured out the mom and dad were doing it again. I thought Lake Bell didn't look hot in this, sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't. This time not so much. The story line was silly. I like silly. If you are looking for a nice romantic comedy to make you bust out laughing this just might be your ticket. "It's good to be home." So why did this movie keep going, There were awkward moments that were not necessary. Horrible character development. Plot holes the size of poor rednecks Televisions in their trailer that smells like old ramen and cat piss. This movie was alright, not terrible. If you are looking for something substantial, skip it. 3 out of 5.
(58) Love happens (2009)
Yes, I watched two romantic comedies in a row. I will say this and mean it. Jennifer Aniston is not believable as someone who is cool. She just needs to stop playing the polly characters. She doesn't pull them off. I like the quirky character and Aniston is just to up tight and will always be the chick who hated flare to me. Aaron Eckhart needs to play a different character as well, He is the same guy here as he was in meet Bill. It's like they took Bill and Polly and put them together in a movie. It worked. I liked it alright, I'll take away a point for the actor's in the movie not looking for more inspiration. Sasha Alexander was very good, she is always very good. I don't know what else she is in, but holy crap she was amazing and will be forever. I liked the whole motivational speaker bit, the whole words on the wall. The bird. I liked that he was a tragic character even though it was a bit repetitive. Martin Sheen did well in this, made it a bit more heart gripping than it was with out him. The character i meant. A solid 3 out of 5.
(59) Wolfman (2010)
I was pumped for this one the trailer looked great, I watched it over and over. However, It didn't go well. I thought the transition from man to wolf was terrible. It was totally predictable. Hopkins was ok, Del Toro annoys me in this, Emily Blunt was even worse, I just wanted her character to get chopped in half. This movie started out a 5, as it went on it lost several points and ended at a 2 out of 5. I couldn't forget that the beginning was ok. So I had to give it points for the beginning, the end, I cared more about the house than I did the life of the characters, That's not a good thing.
(60) A perfect Getaway (2009)
Anne picked this one out as well, I thought it was going to be good. I hate that Timothy Olyphant isn't a household name. HE IS AMAZING, in everything he is in. I really like him and his movies. He is on Justified, good show. Steve Zahn is hilarious. Mill Jovovich is Resident Evil. Chris Hemsworth is going to be Thor. I thought It was Ok. Anne called the twist way before it happened. It was a bit obvious after the helicopter, but I didn't quite believe it. Anne was right. It was a good movie though, I liked it overall, nothing special to say about it though. It's kind of up in the air if I should recommend it or not, I say probably not. 3 out of 5.
