the good shepherd:
reason #475 why i think angelina jolie and matt damon should be dragged out and shot. bobby, what were you thinking?! i spent two and a half hours rolling my eyes and squirming in my seat like a five year old forced to watch Waiting for Godot.

the curse of the golden dragon:
mr. moo needs to lay off the kurosawa and shakespeare. pretty? yes. involving and wonderfully acted? no. it's too bad, i really wanted to like it.

what have you wasted a sawbuck on this last year?

Children Of Men disappointed me- promising first half, cliches after. I've read enough similar reviews of Good Shepherd to steer clear until DVD- when Larry King is the most quoted critic in your ad campaign, the film has something to hide.

Off the top of my head, Jesus Is Magic. It wasn't the biggest piece of crap I saw, but certainly the most disappointing.

I could watch Sarah Silverman in a silent movie, but then, I have a sickness. Jesus Is Magic is not a big budget film; I saw lots of crap this year, but listing it wouldn't have fit the thread. The rare big budget movies I saw were mostly good, like Apocalypto and Casino Royale and Departed and V for Vendetta.

Not to derail or anything, but it's strange - I think I went to the cinema just once this year. My movie taste has gotten like my music taste - a tendency to look for older stuff that I know i'll probably like instead of waiting to see what pops up and taking a risk.

OK, maybe I'm sick also, but Sara Silverman IS hot as hell right? And if she isn't hot as hell, while yer at it please tell me if Julia Stiles is hot too.

talladega nights was disappointing. great idea for a movie, but poorly executed.

beerfest was surprisingly really funny, and pretty clever.

To avoid the thread-jack, go to her C/NC.

The Good Shepard was fucking boring. Left after two hours with another forty minutes to go.

V for Vendetta was okay, but did not live up to the brilliance of Alan Moore.

Apocolypto was one big chase scene. Fuck that.

What was that Spielberg movie about the terrorists, soccer team, and Israeli spies called? That could have been worse, I guess. I'm not really big on violence in movies, though I really enjoyed the Departed.

I agree, but there some moments that make it worth watching.
