Act of Valor. My boys went to the movie last night and came back home excited about that one. Coming from one of them, who likes everything that has to do with the military, not a surprise. Coming from the other one that does not...Have to see it by myself.

 
About a week ago, we saw one of the most awesome movies EVAR... Ip Man.

It was Matrixesque, but much less fake looking. Abso-f*cking-lutely fantastic movie. Easily in my favorite 5 movies of all time. If you like loose-interpretation of someone's real life with some bad ass kung fu action, watch it. This gets 5 stars all the way. :thumbs:

 
After seeing Ip Man, we decided to watch Ip Man 2.

Meh, it was pretty bad ass and all, but I liked it better when it was called Rocky IV. Almost needed subtitles with Stallone 26 years ago. Four stars.

 
In celebration of pi day, I convinced my loving wife to watch Pi with me.

Ho... ly... chit... If you like movies that make you think eating twice-eaten dog sh*t is better than finishing a movie, this one's for you. Maybe I'm one of those people who doesn't "get it". I don't know. This movie was nonsense in the grandest black-and-white fashion ever. To summarize... bull plop. 2 stars... at most.

:fart:

 
If I wanted to read, I'd get a book, not a movie.

Saw Margin Call, which was a pretty good flick, except for the ending. It just ended. Ruined what was otherwise a pretty good vehicle for Kevin Spacey and Jeremy Irons (who out Gordon Gekko'd Michael Doulgals by a long shot in this film).

Also saw Revenge of the Electric Car, the 'sequel' to Who Killed the Electric Car? While not nearly as damning of GM, they didn't issue any apologies for the previous hack job. Also, most of the film was filmed in 2008-9, so many of the events in the documentary had already been OTB, and the only way it was addressed was the occasional short blurb.

 
Watched Puss in Boots with junior last weekend. Was so-so, had some pretty solid laughs in it at times.

I think I've seen this before. Does he end up shaving his head and carving Pi into the side of his head?

If so it's probably been over a decade since I've seen it so I really can't remember what it is about. Based on your review it doesn't seem it has improved with age.

Yeah, that's it. It seemingly got worse every second it was playing so I'm positive it hasn't gotten better with age. I wish I could now edit my original post as I think I was too generous with the rating. It should be ONE STAR.

My dog would looooooooove this movie if that's the case.
I didn't watch the credits, but your dog may have had a hand in making this disaster.

 
Thinking about taking the family to see John Carter over spring break...and as Jeb mentioned above, it's quite an outlay to take the whole crew, so if anybody sees it before the end of next week, please post a review...
Wife asked me if I wanted to see John Carter with her and her friends.

I said I'd wait for Clarence Carter.

She did not appreciate the comment as much as I thought she would.

 
^^^It was NOT good, BUT after seeing the movie, and never having read any of the books, I was intrigued by how Edgar R. Burroughs thought up all of that in the early part of the twenieth century...that part (although not part of the movie) is pretty cool.

 
Saw "The Adventures of Tin Tin" last night. Definitely a more adult-oriented movie than I thought it was going to be. Junior loved it, I thought it was pretty good. Good quality Blu Ray as well, might pick that one up from Wal Mart.

 
Saw Drive this weekend. Probably one of the best (and technically accurate) getaway sequences filmed at the beginning of the film, although the engine/tranny sounds were obviously dubbed in from something completely different.

 
I was scaning Video On Demand and instead of hitting "Go Back", I hit "Watch Now" when the pointer was on "Big Money Hustlas". I was truly amazed that anyone would invest the time, effort, and money to make this POS. Luckily I didn't pay anything for it.

Also on demand...we watched "Restitution" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1452599/

Although it really wasn't too bad, it seemed pretty disjointed. Then I noticed in the credits that the writers, producers, and stars all had the same name in the lists.

I'll bet to him it made perfect sense.

 
^^You know its an awesome movie when the first reviewer says they'd give it a negative number if they existed on the ratings options.

 
Two movies I need to track down and see again: Flight of the Navigator & Total Recall

I guess there's going to be a remake of Total Recall coming out this fall...
