Waiting...

Not a bad film and certainly an accurate look at the life of the 20-something interested in partying more then advancing their career or starting a family. This reminded me of several of the places I've worked, although a touch more corporate.

There where some reasonably funny scenes. I'd give it a B

Big Nothing

A movie about a guy who gets involved with some loser criminals, this is a pretty predictable movie. There are twists and turns to the plot but somehow you end up in exactly the place you expected when the opening credits rolled.

Simon Pegg kicks ass, the rest of the movie is moderately entertaining but not great.

B

The Bucket List

A super typical Hollywood buddy film that relentlessly pushes all your emotional buttons, the fantastic acting is the only thing that makes it not totally grating. Overall it was a decent movie but it faded at the ending.

B+ and that's only because of the kick ass combo for lead acting.

The Last Kiss

So this is a chick flick. But I liked it, and I'll probably try and get my kids to watch it when they are in their mid dating days. It's got a lot of good thoughts on how we have relationships and some very good examples of what to do and a great example of what not to do. Oh and Rachel Bilson is smoking hot.

B+

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

I'm going to go against the grain and argue that this is as good as the original. I watched the Unrated version which obviously had some stuff in it that the theatrical release couldn't swing. Probably made it better, but watching them smoke a J with GWB was priceless. A solid B+, I was pleasantly suprised.

Hellboy II

Better then the first but still likely to leave folks who don't know who the hell the giant red guy is guessing. An A- movie, somewhat disapointing, I was hoping for a more Pan's Labyrinth type film. My main gripe is the ending seemed unfinished.

Tropic Thunder

I don't like Ben Stiller movies much (Something About Mary was good, as was Flirting with Disaster, the rest- yech) but this was ok. Not great, but ok. A lot of self congradulations for the Hollywoood crowd (and making fun of them at the same time), so homages to the Vietnam movies of the past and some ludicrious action sequances with Jack Black's fat ass flopping around in the tropical wind.

Anyways, it was entertaining but not good. B+ I expected better.

Battlestar Galactica: Season 4

Wow this is depressing. I am still working my way through this but so far I think it would be more enjoyable to watch someone drowned kittens.

Battlestar Galactica: Season 3.5

Hrmph. Not a bad season, although not as good as 2-2.5. They need to find Earth already. Sorry, that's about all there is to say, I'd give it a B

Battlestar Galactica: Season 3

Not a bad season but not as good as 2/2.5. Lots of development but I think they need to find Earth soon (or at least get close to it) to keep fresh. Otherwise they are in a race against lack of ideas.

Detonator

What a generic movie. It's like a John Woo film but with out the deep character development and intracate plotting ;)

Shows that decent actors can't make a limp script stand up, don't waste your time.
