I don't think I've seen that film, Bingo.
One would hope they made a few... not just one or it's going to be almost as tedious watching THE film as the intervals between are.
The Room (2003)
What a horribly, horribly beautiful movie. It needs a sequel, a prequel, a sidequel, and an interquel -- all written and directed by Wiseau -- post-haste.
5.5/10
I watched The Dark Knight Rises for what I believe is my fourth time. That movie has gotten better and better every time I watch it. There are still a couple of nitpicks, but for the most part I don't see what the fuss is over most of the material. If I could change only two things, the movie would probably not bother me at all: Bruce actually permanently defeats Bane, rather than Catwoman shooting him (I mean, I know we wanted him dead, and Batman has a no killing rule, but it should have been Batsy defeating him); the movie should have ended at Alfred's nod. It would have been similar to the ending in Inception with the just faltering top, where we're pretty sure we know what the nod means, but we're not positive, and thus Batman's sacrifice isn't cheapened. Other than that, I think the plot made perfect sense and anything that strayed from reality did it in the same context as the previous films. These are still fiction, and even if they are "more realistic," that does not make them actually realistic.
I really, really love this movie!
Necromancy AKA The Witching (1972)
There was a coherent plot somewhere in this movie, but for the life of me, I just couldn't find it.
6/10
Troll 2 (1990)
I'm gonna rate this movie, then it's gonna rate me! OH MY GOOOODDDD!!!!!!!!
6/10 (2/5 for quality, 4/5 for entertainability)

Batman (1989)
I had not seen this in a long time so had a watch last night.
I really enjoyed it after so long a break. I think Michael Keaton made a good Batman. Also great to see so much model work and Matte paintings. The set designs for this film are just awesome.
TRON: Legacy (2011)
I've wanted to see this since I heard it was coming out, shortly after I watched the first one, but only got to do so last night. I really enjoyed it. I loved the first movie and enjoyed seeing the world of TRON again, but this time in greater detail and more realistic CGI. It's neat how they used practical effects for the suits and the CGI meshes well with the sets and costumes. Overall, great film, though I thought Sam's reunion with his father lacked the emotion it should have had.
Once again, no rating from me--it's too hard to fairly rate movies.

This movie deserves either a zero or a ten. Nothing else is fair.
You're tearing me apart, Frink!
Maybe DE was averaging out a zero and an eleven?TV's Frink said:

I gave it 2/5 for quality and 3.5/5 for entertainability.
Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007)
While I liked the flashback parts of the movie, the rest of the film was ... iffy; mutants, cyborgs, and robots do not belong in a Highlander movie, animated or not.
Suffice it to say, I wasn't very taken with the movie; I even started nodding off before I got halfway through the movie -- that's how unengaging the main story was.
The animation was pretty good, though.
6.5/10
Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)
This movie sucked, plain and simple. The plot was paper-thin, the characters were complete cyphers, the "action" scenes were overlong and boring, and the movie was just too damn long for such a meagre storyline.
The worst thing about this movie by far, though, is that John Saxon sucked. John Saxon sucked! Lord above, I've seen him in some dire movies, and he still gave a great performance in them! The director must be some black magician to coax such an underwhelming performance out of the man!
5/10 (If it weren't for the (mostly) decent effects, it would be a 4/10)

^I'd like to say that was the reaction I had to the debacle that was that movie, but it was too underwhelming to get even that much from me.

Errr...
Muppets Most Wanted
I feel like it was very rushed. It breezed by.
I can't say I hated it at all, but I also can't say that it's my favorite of their movies either (that honor goes to the original Muppet movie)
I'll start with the main problem for me; the Gulag. I don't like the direction they took. They made it into a friendly environment rather quickly.
I feel like the inmates should have had it out for Kermit the whole time, and that Tina Fey (or whatever her character's name was) should have been downplayed.
Also, the ending had the perfect set up for an ending like The Producers, with the whole gang imprisoned but still singing their song.
Also, the relatively pointless stuff. Like the random 'searching' montage that lasts only a couple seconds and makes no sense.
Walter is utterly useless. He could have been replaced with any other member of the gang and no change would be necessary.
And, the whole show subplot should have been exchanged for some more elaborate escape scene (there were many other possibilities)
I feel like the early scenes with the gang should have been put later into the movie, considering we don't have very much time to get to know them before they're at each other's throats.
The message feels like it was tacked on.
Now, there were things that I really enjoyed.
The opening scene was quite a nice way to start (although it begs the question of what happened to the last film's costars)
I loved every second of the scenes with Sam and the Interpol agent.
The soundtrack was mostly good (except for the Gulag ones), and this is my favorite song in the film.
I wished Animal's role was bumped up even more (a running gag with him trying to attack Constantine, maybe), but I thought he was overall good.
Ricky Gervais was certainly interesting, since I don't believe he's been cast in a part like this before.
I don't know what to say really, I could just list things I liked and didn't like?

It's still the movie that put composer James Horner on the map, and some kid named Jim Cameron worked on the FX.
Roger Corman reused the music and effects footage so many times in other productions, he was able to afford the large jacuzzi!
I should send the Garthim after you for anything less than a nine for TDC. ;)

I prefer the masculine "warlock", thank you very much.
I thought wizard was the masculine.
Witches can be male or female, although the only witch I've known personally was female.

Self says :
Depression. Despair. Complete embitterment. Insanity of one form or another. Obsessive compulsive states of mind. This is all a function of modernity. The kind of hysteria that afflicted people in the late 19th century now looks like a walk in the park.
