This bad boy

Nice...but if you're gonna go Seagal you gotta go with this...

I was always under the impression every Seagal movie was the same, he simply had new cover art made.

What do you get when you mix ''The Running Man'' with ''Deathrace?'' You get the worst movie of 2009. I went into this expecting another half assed action flick, to satisfy my need to torture myself nightly, by watching a sure fire bad flick - what I got even exceeded my expectations. This is one of those yearly flicks, much like ''Deathrace'' of 2008, that can completely ruin your night. ''Gamer'' was actually reminiscent of the first time I did a major drug. You'll be wondering half the time, if what you're seeing, is really supposed to be there. I'm still not sure, honestly.

After seeing films like ''P.S, I Love You,'' ''The Ugly Truth,'' and now ''Gamer,'' Mr. Butler has officially been added to my shit list. He's one more bad flick away from being added to my ''avoid at all costs'' list, with greats like Ashton Kutcher and Ryan Reynolds.

I can't even begin to think of a reason why any person would enjoy this pile of shit.

Reynolds is a pretty underrated actor though.

Reynolds made Smoking Aces from a complete unwatchable pile of shit to just an almost unwatchable pile of shit - not even Jeremy Piven was any good in that.

Reminded me a little of ''A Perfect World.'' I still have images of ''Gamer'' going through my head, so I probably should have waited at least 24 hours before attempting to watch a decent film. Worth seeing for Hugo Weaving alone.

Rare aussie cat & mouse thriller about a man (Weaving) accused of being a serial killer. The movie is basically an hour and 40 minute interrogation. Many people compare it to ''The Usual Suspects.'' The difference is, this movie does it right. It's also one of the few movies that kept me guessing right until the very end. You may have to do some serious searching to find this one, but it's a must see. It's a damn shame it slipped by so many people back in '98.

One of my favorites.

Disney's: A Christmas Carol: 6.6/10 - It's been getting some disappointing reviews, which, to be honest, haven't really surprised me; however, I still rather enjoyed it. The biggest problem that I had with it is that it really couldn't decide what genre it wanted to present the story in. The comedy was a little misplaced (although still effective since it's Jim Carrey), the drama is nicely placed, but not extremely effective with Scrooge as the movie presented his transition very abruptly and it was surprisingly frightening, especially if you look at it from a little kid's perspective. Some of the characters aren't the most attractive in the world (top notch "animation" though) and a couple of the characters are flat out scary. The whole scene with Jacob Marley, from the door knocker to his departure, is rather disturbing as it includes big jumps, loud, demonic-like screams and at one point Marley's jaw even dislocates which gives him an even creepier look. Believe it or not, this movie made me jump more than The Shining did. Go figure, right? There were several things I like though, starting with the visual look to the movie. The movie digitally transferred the facial expressions and movements from each actor and used them on the characters; for example, Bob Crachet looks very similar to Gary Oldman and the ghost of Christmas past and present look like Jim Carrey, with the previous' face basically bearing Carrey's exact face. This was the first movie I've ever seen in 3-D and it was very impressive. Great effects and it was beautifully done with 1800's London captured perfectly. The only complaint I have with the visual aspect is that at times the characters eyes seemed to lack life. That's a very small problem though. Overall, it was an enjoyable movie and gave me a nice dash of Christmas this early, but it's definitely not the best rendition of the classic story.

The Men Who Stare At Goats: 8.5/10 - I've been anticipating this movie since it first appeared on IMDb around January of 2008 and it did not disappoint. The story is actually a very simple one; however, they play at off as this big, complicated and secrective thing, which really works. The comedy is very consistent and I laughed out loud several times. Every character is a memorable one, from Ewan McGregor who is trying to prove to his ex-wife that he's courageous by going into Iraq to report on the war, but is so jumpy and cowardly that you can't help but laugh. Kevin Spacey shines, like always, as the "villain"; however, his final few scenes help make his character awesome. George Clooney and Jeff Bridges steal the show, which probably won't surprise. Clooney plays the seemily crazy Lyn Cassidy perfectly and his dialogue was perfectly written and performed; definitely one of Clooney's better performances. Bridges' character is very Dude-like, which is always a plus. He doesn't get as much screen time as McGregor or Clooney, but definitely takes advantage of and steals the scenes he's in. The best part of this movie is that they take some controversial war topics and throw humor into them and that, along with the ending made this movie live up to my expectations. One of my favorites of the year and definitely challenges Zombieland as my favorite comedy of the year.

V For Vendetta: 9.6/10 - Great film and by far the best film based on a graphic novel. Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman are just too good for words.

Away We Go - **** stars.

Between this and "Knocked Up," the actual thought of bringing another life into this world scares the shit out of me.

The movies don't spill details about the little things, diapers/food/clothing/books/DVDs/etc. (except that one scene in Knocked Up I believe), that you need to make sure your child doesn't grow up to be something you don't want... BUT:

What they do show is the broad brush strokes of what it takes, a job/two people who care for each other/a home, and the misadventures that having those things leads to.

This movie in particular lays it out for you through meeting many groups of people (the parents, the friends in Phoenix, the LN in Tuscon (sp?), the college buddies in Montreal, the single parent in Miami) and what exactly is the meaning of being "grown up" and what it is to become a family.

I like it.

Just don't show it to your GF unless you intend of marrying or putting a kid in her.

EDIT: You're probably going to cry at some point. Fair Warning.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Why the hell was this movie over two hours long? I was bored to tears by the end.
