The Thing: 2/10 stars

Like watching paint dry. Too many of these silly "what if" horror movies are made.

Pumping Iron: 6/10 stars

Of course, seeing Arnold then is funny when you compare him to now, especially when you think about how he was governor of California. You could see how many women he got with in the 70s and 80s which must have been a whole lot considering his fame, money and willingness to get with many women.

What I think is interesting is that it's easy to see how he cheated on Maria Shriver. A guy that gets with that many women is often the guy who cheats.

On the other side of that, Arnold has always been a free spirit with a good personality as you can see in this flick. I would imagine steroids weren't tested for back then because I'm pretty sure all of these guys in this Mr. Olympia competition used steroids.

Still, it's crazy how hard they work on their bodies and how much pain they endure.

The movie was a good documentary, especially for it's time.

I thought this movie was really interesting when I saw it. On the one hand I kept thinking, "Wow, Arnold's a complete *ss!" But then on the other hand, he's Arnold. I especially appreciated the way he makes bodybuilding into a true art form, with the movements and the poses.
I wasn't really interested in watching it in the first place, so I was surprised that I actually enjoyed it.

Schwarzenegger is one of the most interesting people I've seen on film. I hate how he treated Shriver, I was hoping he could have grown up a little more but apparently that wasn't the case. It seems like all those hollywood people cheat on eachother. It's depressing that happens all the time.

I would say Arnold has a larger than life personality. He is able to achieve greatness and is an outstanding speaker in all cases. Very well spoken. It's hard not to like him. I mean I guess I do like him because his movie career was awesome and I love his acting and personality.

They did a fantastic job with that film in showing that bodybuilding actually requires thought and is an artform. Interesting stuff.

Dream House: 6/10 stars

I couldn't get enough of Rachel Weisz. She is so smart and pretty.

The movie was kind of like a little thriller type, it has some twists. I liked the acting, the picture and the setting. Good acting by Daniel Craig as well. Naomi's part was kind of weird.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol 7.5/10

Really good movie, even though the technology in that movie was very unrealistic, haha. Enjoyable to watch. Tom Cruise looked good, too.

Just came back from movie night D:

The Cabin the the Woods: 8/10

YES!!!!!! GORE GALORE! Weird, twisted and every sort of nightmare in one movie. But, the concept of it at first made me skeptical 'oh another typical cabin movie'. Nah, not at all.
If they got rid of the awkward scenes then it would have been better on my scale.
Three things that make for a good horror movie; disgusting creatures, gore and a funny character. Marty is the best character ever! I want him as a friend.

Moneyball: 10/10 stars

Me being a sports lover since I can remember, this movie immediately was a big deal for me when I found out about it about 6 months ago.

I expected it to deliver big time, and that it did. Brad Pitt was Brad Pitt, one of the best actors ever. His roll as Beane was something he was very comfortable with.

Jonah Hill has come along as a well known actor after films like Superbad. His job as a supporting actor was fantastic. Heck, everyone did a good job in this movie. There weren't any flaws really. It was long, but I think that was necessary.

Something that really stood out when I saw this movie was the picture was marvelous. They captured the mood of the Oakland A's club and everything else that was going on very well. You were there with them.

^I really enjoyed the use of unknown actors and minimal exploitation of traditional big-budget camera work - it really felt true to life and not so "Hollywood"

The Last Temptation of Christ: 3/10 stars

I think they were trying to show what Jesus would have been like if Jesus had been more imperfect and less God-like. I just didn't like it much. The movie was weird and the acting was just dull.

I got the feeling I was watching a low-budget play that lost the audience.

Of course this film was controversial, but I get the feeling they made this film just to make a controversial film, haha.

In Time: 6/10 stars

It was about the new currency being time of a person's life. Futuristic film. It was a cool movie.

When I first saw an preview for this movie, it was during The Walking Dead, so I thought if was just going to be some bland gory zombie movie riding on the coattails of TWD's popularity. But then I kept hearing that it was a pretty good movie. Then I saw that Joss Whedon was behind it and now I really want to see it.

Battleship - 6.5/10

Maybe it's because I'm in a crappy mood, but the movie was merely enjoyable. There was nothing really wrong with it, to be honest. Took too long to get started, I will say. Graphics were good. Acting was good. I don't know. It was fine but I likely wouldn't watch it again.

The Punisher: 5/10 stars

It wasn't bad. Kind of a cliche revenge movie. Not a whole lot to it.

Martial Arts Master: The Life of Bruce Lee - 6/10 stars

Although it was made in '93 and had an old 80s feel to it with bad sound and bad music, it was a good biography. It was kind of like Pumping Iron. I liked how in depth they were.

Very weird appearance by Brandon Lee, who is also dead now. At the time of this movie he was still alive and they interviewed him. It was creepy to watch him and think about how not too much later in his life he'd be dead.

12 Rounds: 4/10 stars

Your typical save the girlfriend from the crazy kidnapper movie. Cliche as usual.

Something I didn't like about this movie was that we were supposed to be satisfied at the end of the movie when they make it out alive, which they always do. You are supposed to feel relieved.

Well I didn't feel that way at all. I saw most of the movie, and the main character's best friend got killed, along with at least 2 other cops and maybe even more people. So, those people died, yet I'm supposed to feel great at the end of the film because the main character and his wife lived?

They make it seem like it's okay if other supporting actors die as long as the main ones live. Sorry, just because you are John Cena doesn't make you more important than Brian White. White's life isn't expendable so you can go on and live. You should be mourning his death at the end of the movie because that's what this whole thing cost you, John. Not celebrating and acting like everything's okay.

What I'm saying is I don't like how they expect, me, the viewer, to feel satisfied just because main characters live at the expense of supporting actors.

It was as if they are saying the bachelor who sleeps with a bunch of women (which was Brian White in this movie) is less important than the man who is looking more for monogamy and marriage. I didn't like that. People that are about to get married aren't better than bachelors and bachelorettes.

Trespass: 5/10 stars

It wasn't terrible. Had some twists.

Bad guys break in to a guy's house and have trouble getting what they want because of lot of assumptions and miscommunications.
