Bus 174 - This is a Brazilian documentary about a bus hijacking and hostage situation is Rio de Janeiro in 2000. It does a good job of showing multiple angles of the event from the hostages themselves, law enforcement, family, and even criminals. Additionally, the viewer is presented with a detailed background of the hostage taker and a commentary on the lives of "street kids" in Rio as well as the correctional system in place at the time. Overall, this has an interesting pace, and has an intense climax as the event comes to a close. Fantastic documentary IMO.

Battle: LA

Honestly, I liked the movie better when it was called Independence Day. Very similar plot. Very cliche story with the men doubting their leadership up until a pivotal moment where he proves himself to his men and they finally rally behind him. This movie doesn't try to hide anything from the audience, leading to a very predictable ending. Those not familiar with the military might find some of the dialogue to be weak and those who are familiar with the military might find some of the action sequences to follow unrealistic combat procedures. Aaron Eckhart is very robotic in his acting but I don't find that to be a negative considering his role as a battle hardened Staff Sergeant. Bridget Moynihan and Michelle Rodriguez I feel were thrown into this movie just to add female characters. They had little to no impact whatsoever in the film.

My opinion: If it were offered on IMAX or in 3D I'd say see it in theaters but with it getting a standard format release, I'd wait for it on bluray. 5 out of 10

Me and Aaron Eckhart. Apparently he doesn't know how to dress himself or comb his hair without his stylists

Very predictable. Decent flick though. 3.5/5

Took my 4 year old to see Rango last night.

Pretty good movie. A little "much" if thats the word Im looking for, for a young crowd. A few lines in there kids really shouldnt hear.

"sign the god damn papers"
"it will be a cold day in hell"
Rango sitting with the Torso of a naked barbie doll. "are those real?"

The CGI I thought was amazing. there was one scene where I honetly thought the guy was real.

Nothing like going into a movie during a down pour and coming out to 4inches of snow. Yes, out of no where we ended up getting 11inches last night.

I also watched Robin Hood with Russell Crowe over the weekend on HBO. But I didnt like the final battle scene when the guys were coming off the boat. Looked to much like scene from Saving Private Ryan.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Finally watched Black Swan.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. Total mindfuck.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Saw The Fighter. Solid flick, but hardly deserving of all the Oscar hullabaloo.

Bale and Adams were both good in their roles. Wahlberg was an emotional non-entity.

 

[mgoblue2290]

127 Hours 9/10. Franco deserved an Oscar.

2010: The Year We Make Contact - Meh. Now, I didn't go into this thinking it would live up to the visual and auditory experience of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but this was very disappointing. I think the idea of an expedition to study the remains of the first film was interesting. However, this film failed to capitalize on the mystery left behind by the events of 2001, and instead turned into something else. The ending in particular left me with a "WTF?" look on my face.

The Adjustment Bureau

For such an interesting premise, The Adjustment Bureau doesn't come close to milking its ideas for what they're really worth. Although it can be highlight that this film stooped to the level of becoming nothing more than a predictable romantic voyage, The Adjustment Bureau suffers from other faults.

Firstly, the film spends way too much time setting up for what is an abrupt and weak climax. Its sci-fi schemes contrast other successes like Inception, but whereas Inception created the world of the dream in a complex and dense structure while leaving just the right amount of mystery, the world of The Adjustment Bureau is simplistic to the point where not only can it be explained in less than five minutes, but it can be mastered even quicker. Any intrigue behind The Adjustment Bureau is negated its world's perfect understanding. Not just a story of fate, the film acts as an old age love at first site tale with a new age twist. Certainly fate is an enthralling enough subject, but the dialogue leaves both a lot to be desired while also leaving very little. Complexion is expected in material such as covered in The Adjustment Bureau, yet the dialogue is rarely more than the bare essentials and reveals practically everything behind the curtain of the bureau and its works.

Still, the film had potential even as a love story; however the film's surprisngly short time length rushes both the sci-fi elements and the human elements such as the love between the two main characters. Damon and Blunt have no problem creating chemistry, but their subjection to the audience is never more than what absolutely needs to be known. Sure, love at first sight can be argued, but ultimately the growth of their relationship is hidden and swept under the rug. Instead, a series of sarcastic conversations and make-out sessions combined with a sex scene attempt to act as building blocks to this troubled affair.

The film didn't come without positives as it offers a message against fate and in favor of being in control of your own destiny. Simply, it preaches that if you want something bad enough, it's yours to take or to lose.

Otherwise, The Adjustment Bureau is the first disappointment of 2011 with rushed developments, lack of any mystique behind its curious characters and never quite capture the sense of foreboding that was surely overtaking its lead from the moment following his unexpected discovery to the very end.

Rating: 5.4/10

One of the most suspenseful movies I've seen in awhile, plus alot of it was relatable IMO.

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

I saw Take Me Home Tonight. It would be a cool rental. It had some laughs, and if you're old enough to remember the old sound track you might find it really nostalgic. My sister would have loved the movie, she's 6 years older than me, but some of the 80's style was beyond my time. All in all it was ok.

 

[tigstah]

watched the sting. classic con movie

 

[SuperKevin]

I don't know why but they are starting to show a lot of sneak previews here on base. In two weeks they are doing a preview of The Conspirator. It stars James McAvoy, Robin Wright, Justin Long, and Alexis Bledel and it's about the only woman who was charged in the assassination of Lincoln. I'll probably go because it's free

 

[strahanfan92]

Terrible movie is terrible.

 

[Maynard]

Goodfellas
