Savages was much better than I expected. It was made by Oliver Stone.

Which one?
I was thinking of the one with Stallone and Carradine, but I guess that was Death Race 2000. I didn't know there was a TV movie.
what about death racers?
Olympus Has Fallen
and so has my attentiveness/10
I was expecting a bit of yankee doodle dogshit, but what I got instead was one interesting character. Some tough-assed bureaucrat lady with one of the security codes. Where'd she learn to take a beating? Fuck you, the movie isn't telling and will pretty much forget about her. The president and the speaker of the house are weenies and the down on his luck (actually just a desk job) secret service guy is over the top gung ho. His wife is a non-entity and might as well not have been shown. The president's son...pretty much the same. Worst of all were the bad guys. After an admittedly cool attack successful due to the fact that for some reason all the White House Marines were on vacation, the bad guy boss's big plan was to...use codes from three people to blow up missiles in their silos? How the fuck does that work, and even if that system did exist, how the fuck could it NOT be overridden locally, and how is it that the three people with the codes all happened to be conveniently evacuated to the same room where they were all captured.
At least it wasn't Prometheus-bad.

You need to watch the extended version.
I thought it was a pretty good storyline...unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Yeah, it seemed more video game material than anything else. I suppose I should have watched Die Hard instead.HITNRUNXX wrote:

Thought potter was done? Think again.
Les Misérables (2012) - 8.5/10
I'm not sure if I rated it here before, but I really enjoyed it this time around. Even Russel Crowe's maligned performance as Javert.

Yeah that's how I felt about the movie as well. It could have been so much better but at least the action scenes were worth the $5 I spent to see it at the movie theater. edit: I enjoyed the soundtrack a lot. This is really catchy for some reason.Ultrafunkula wrote:

Special effects are awesome, but the story was crap.

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
Gravity, in 3D...which I would say is pretty much THE way you need to see this movie. 8/10 for the movie, 10/10 for the movie experience. Go see it in 3D, ASAP.
I feel like it is similar to Avatar in that the movie experience itself, when seen in a quality theater with 3D and a solid sound system, is genuinely improved by having done so. That is, the 3D isn't just another gimmick...it actually contributes heavily to the film. The thing is, this blew Avatar out of the water, even in terms of special effects. I've always been a sucker for anything space-related, but my jaw literally dropped in some scenes. It was that good.
All of that jibbajabba aside, this was a genuinely good film aside from the visual spectacle. It had a rare performance by Sandra Bullock that didn't make me grit my teeth at her every line, and George Clooney is his usual hyperconfident self, but together they worked really well and I genuinely grew attached to and pulled for the characters in this - which is much more than most movies seem to achieve. The movie is taut, without any unnecessary fluff, and I really didn't see too many scientific gaffes that would make the ubernerds scoff...pretty impressive for some serious sci-fi.

World War Z -37 billion/10
What a piece of shit. Way to take good source material and just take a shit all over it. Literally this movie took the Max Brooks book into the woods, opened it up and took a big steamy dump in it and then slammed it shut. This movie would have been decent if it were named anything other than World War Z, but because it is, it becomes apparent that Hollywood is full of fucking retards. They must have seen that this book was high on the best sellers list and said "hey, let's make that movie. OK. Should we read it first? Nah, it's a zombie movie, just put people running from zombies in the movie and call it good!"
Not only is it apparent that no one involved in the making of this movie read the book, the plot and premise (which is in no way related to the book mind you, the book is amazing, read it) of this movie is absurd, nonsensical, and retarded all at the same time. "Hey, you know how we can beat the zombies? How? We could infect ourselves with terminal illnesses, because zombies aren't interested in people with terminal illnesses and then we can just walk around at will and kill them. But then we would all have terminal illnesses." Seriously, who the fuck? When has that ever been a thing with zombies? It's not in the book at all! The zombie's in the book are slow, these are track stars. The zeeks in the book were dumb, these are smart. Give me a fucking break.
Fuck this movie, fuck everyone in it, fuck everyone that had anything to do with it and fuck me for thinking it might be good.
