2 Guns was okay
GI Joe Retribution: 6/10
It was entertaining while it was on, but could have been better. It fell apart so thoroughly toward the end that it left a bad taste in the mouth... Could have either a) Forgotten the Joes and just had the ninjas and been better or b) Forgotten the Joes anytime they were outside of a cool toy-based vehicle. Except Lady Jaye, of course. Makes me wish they didn't fubar the Wonder Woman TV show that she was supposed to be in. Basically the normal Joes were like the normal Military guys in Transformers, starring in a movie without the Transformers... Which when you think about it, is really pretty accurate.
The bottom line, GI Joe Retribution somehow either needed more action or more story, but tried to have just enough of each that they only seemed to constantly interrupt each other.
Spoiler (highlight to read):
Wait... The "abort" button in the briefcase immediately self-destructs every satellite?
The giant steel rods are just dropped and gravity pulls them down? Does terminal velocity not apply?
If the giant rods are just dropped and create a bigger than nuke explosion, then wouldn't self destructing all the satellites just create a lot of falling giant nuke rods?
I try not to think during action movies, but that little bit that seemed thrown in at the end to actually make a storyline to tie it all together.

World End
I really liked it. Could have done with more references back to Sean of the Dead and Hot Fuzz though. Some were blink and you'll miss them, like keep off the grass. The cornetto joke was brilliant though.

It doesn't have this outlandish weirdness that 'Being John Malkovich' or 'Adaptation' have.
More this underlying, subtle, yet mundane weirdness that 'Be Kind Rewind' has.
I guess that's the difference between Spike Jonze and Michael Gondry.
Beautiful Creatures: 4/10
Another "Tween" book made into a blah movie. Better than most of the rest of them (I.E. Twilight, The Host), it was still on the "wasted my time" side of the fence. What makes these movies worse is constantly hearing "The book was better" and "they screwed this up from the book." So not only was it bad as a stand alone, it was bad to fans of the original material. This one actually started off really strong. I like the narrative type of start to a movie. It was enjoyable. Jeremy Iron's character stole the movie, then was (comparatively) barely in it after that. If you had cut out the two main characters, and just made it about him, it would have been better... If you are really into sets and costumes, you should definitely give it a rent.
In short, it follows a recurring formula of recent trends:
1) Crappy and uninteresting love story that isn't good enough to be a movie.
2) Add supernatural anything.
3) Ignore the supernatural aspect of it except for a small part that makes it hard for the main characters to be together.
4) Add a strong supporting role and make him do all the heavy lifting.
5) Try to make it look like Tim Burton was involved.

Wolverine - Marvel/10
as we left the theatre, my wife asked "what's up with all these comic book movies showing their human side?"
all i could say was they stayed true to the script. if you've read Marvel, you'll know what i mean.

I heard the antagonists could have been better. Haven't seen it yet, so I'll save judgment for when I do.

The best part of that movie was the spinning dining room scene. I'd watch BC over Twilight any day. Thank god they didn't have mics lodged up their noses so we could hear every snuffle, grunt and snort. Holy shit.HITNRUNXX wrote:

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World 8/10
I thought it was well observed and some of the subtexts interesting.
Also the nerd got the hot chick.

Totally agree. I still didn't like it, but it was way better than Twilight. And I also agree about the dining room. That was one of the things that prompted my good sets and costumes comment. Everything int hat house was amazing looking.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Pacific Rim 6,5/10
Special effects are awesome, but the story was crap.

Well I didn't expect the story to be so sucky since it's a Guillermo Del Toro film.
Did it have the creepy Godzilla twins?
