Well, everyone knows that you have a horrible taste in movies and hate everything that is good.

Grown Ups
I really love Adam Sandler but I think this film is not as good as the other films that he made. Still it is good.

Black Dynamite in Cinematron-vision, this time... Ok I saw this a while ago, but it just hit one small cinema here now so I dragged my friends to see it on the big screen along with only about 2 dozen other people, so I guess it still ain't super mainstream. But while the fools in other cinemas went to see whatever shit's out this weekend (Another Resident Evil film and Going The Distance, blargh!) and had fleeting fun, we lol'd ourselves in lasting fun! And as BD says, "Your knowledge of scientific biological transmogrification is only outmatched by your zest for kung-fu treachery!" I think that's a lesson we can all learn today... A again

But where are out flying automobiles?! There hasn't been a single good movie with him...
The Wedding Singer! I love that movie!
Me too, and I don't even like weddings. "George?" " No." I have just completed an online mid-semester test for one of my units so now I feel like I have earned going to see Despicable Me this afternoon. I shall report back later with my thoughts! Like right now. Despicable MeThis was quite fun to watch. People seem to have mixed reviews about it but I quite enjoyed it. I was kind of impressed by how much I could barely tell it was Russell Brand and Jason Segel's voices in there. And the little girls were great. I had a little bit of trouble seeing how this villain could be so..villainous...and suddenly cared about the girls though, considering he had encountered perfectly cute things before and yet didn't care. But that's how these stories are meant to go, I guess. Memorable moment: "He's funny." "But scary." "Like Santa!" 8 freeze rays/10 squid rays

I hate Adam Sandler, but Funny People, though over-fucking-long, gave him an opportunity to delve into a character with some actual substance. I enjoyed him in that movie.
Anyway...
Moulin Rouge
Watched this last night with my rugby team (rugby and Baz Luhrmann movies are actually quite similar), and I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Nicole Kidman was great (whereas usually I just plain don't like her), Ewan McGregor was pretty, and the movie itself was just fun. And, I guess, kinda melodramatic and tragic and such.

Superman Batman: ApocalypseKevin Conroy, Tim Daly, Bruce Timm and Jeph Loeb are all names associated with DC animated movies, but this time joined by Summer Glau as Kara (aka Supergirl), who arrives on Earth and then gets kidnapped by Darkseid. I've never heard of Darkseid before, he seems to have weird life for a bad guy, he lives on a exploding volcano planet, with giant robo dogs, lots of scantily clad ninja girls and an old guy called "Granny"... And why does he need those girls anyway if he can match Superman in a fight? Seems weird! Anyway, good animated superhero movie. B+

Crap, I still haven't finished watching that Mama Mia!I don't know when I suddenly became middle-aged, but I watched my mum's copy of this alone and by choice on the weekend and proceeded to download the soundtrack and listened to it for a couple of days afterwards. Satisfaction level: I feel dirtyAce Ventura: When Nature CallsI hadn't seen this in years. I can't tell whether I legitimately enjoyed the movie, or I legitimately enjoyed the nostalgic value of it. "Guano bowls: collect the whole set!" Ah, Jimothy. Things did seem a little over the top, and his whole speech at the end where he lawyered the bad guy reminded me of Liar, Liar. Obviously he stole that from himself for Liar, Liar a few years later. I still haven't seen Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, because I kept meaning to hire it from the video shop when we used to go there, but it wasn't ever there, and then I forgot. The End. Satisfaction level: I want to watch more movies I forgot existed.

The first I'd heard of Darkseid was in the episode animated Superman episode "Apokolips...Now!" It was a pretty good one. It also featured openly lesbian characters, which was unusual. In a later episode, Supes goes to Apokolips and beats the omega beams out of Darkseid. When Superman tells the Apokoliptians they do not have to serve Darkseid any more, they willingly take Darkseid back, pissing Superman off. s BEST REVIEW EVER!
I don't know what's going on here, but there's some sort of chicanery afoot.

Finally saw Inception on account of it was playing at the single-screen theater downtown and I had to review it for the school paper, and it rightly blew my mind, as I expected it to. And I knew the ending would be ambiguous. Do movies like this every not have fuck-you endings? A

SuckNo, it's not a porno with a lazy title guy, it's a campy Vampire Rock Comedy! Part This Is Spinal Tap, part Dracula, written, directed by and starring Rob Stefaniuk, Jessica Paré, Malcolm McDowell and featuring Dave Foley, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Moby and even Ezri Dax from DS9 has a small part. About a crappy rock band traveling across North America trying to make it big, while the bassist (the sexy Jessica Paré) gets turned by a vampire causing trouble for the rest of the band. The roadie guy who turns into a kinda Renfield character is hilarious. Very enjoyable film, lots of fun! A-
