Movies

I rated these movies on a simple 1-10 scale.

Pulp Fiction-8
Samuel L Jackson was brilliant; especially in a few choice monologues. I really enjoyed this classic.

A Mighty Wind-8
If you're a find of Christopher Guest movies (Best In Show, Waiting For Guffman, This Is Spinal Tap) then you'll love A Mighty Wind. I was laughing out loud often.

Jerry Maguire-7
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger were great.

Chinatown-7
I guess I'm finding more and more that I enjoy movie because of specific actors or acting jobs. Jack Nicholson was fantastic in this classic thriller.

Unbreakable-6
Compelling storyline + great performances from Samuel L and Bruce Willis = recommended entertainment. I don't usually enjoy M Night Shyamalan, but I guess this movie was a little more believable than some of his others.

Primal Fear-5
This was a typical courtroom movie, predictable, entertaining if you like that kind of movie....until the twist. Enough said.

The Jackal-5
Classic uncatchable, cold, calculating killer movie. Bruce Willis does a great job.

Out Cold-5
This is a guy movie through and through. You probably get dumber while you watch this movie, but you sure laugh a lot in the process.

This Is Spinal Tap-4
Another Christopher Guest movie. This one didn't really grab me, and is probably my least favorite Guest film.

Simon Birch-4
Endearing, heartwarming, and heartbreaking. It was okay.

X-Men Wolverine-4
Great action, short on the plot, and the sci-fi aspect is not so believable. If you're in the mood for an action flick, it's passable.

Donnie Darko-3
Too weird for my liking. It had it's moments, but not something I'd watch again.

In The Line Of Fire-2
Everything was vanilla and typical. The acting was simply okay. I usually love John Malkovich, but not in this film.

Animal House-2
Really no redeeming value here except for a few laughs.

Chaos Theory-1
Eh. Nothing stands out about this movie. The plot tried to be creative, but failed. The acting wasn't anything to write home about either.

The Savages-1
Yeah sure, the dialogue was compelling and the subject matter was very reminiscent of real life. I usually like these kind of films, but this one didn't do it for me at all. You'd have to pay me a lot to make me watch this one again.
