I'm Spartacus.

Street Kings 2 / 5

OMG so many twists, and so easy to see them coming. It's a shame James Ellroy's name is attached to this, as he wrote the first draft.

The Last Stand 2.5 /5

It was good to see Arnold kicking ass again, but besides that, this movie had little going for it.

Crumb 3.5 /5

A "classic" documentary that, while fascinating, left me feeling a bit depressed.

Sabotage 2 /5

A great premise was all this had. Never have I heard the F-word said so awkwardly repeatedly.

Rosemary's Baby 3.5 /5

Another classic I hadn't seen before. It's pretty damn good, but just too long. 

You're Next 3 / 5

A great premise nearly ruined with terrible dialogue. Surprise twists weren't surprising.

The ABCs of Death 1 / 5

This was just awful. What a waste of existence.

Magnum Force (1973)

I saw the plot twist coming early in the film, so perhaps that's the reason why I found the ending of the movie really underwhelming. That aside, though, I found the earlier "whodunnit" portions of the film very engrossing and enjoyable.

7.5/10

This is quite possibly my favorite Dirty Harry film. Yeah I saw the twist coming too (when I watched it as a kid) but it still enthralled me. That, and it had Suzanne Somer's tits.

Gone Girl - 3.5 / 5

I saw it; liked it, didn't love it. I felt some of Fincher's style got in the way of telling the story organically. For example, his overuse of quick fade outs (even on the opening titles!) made things feel rushed. Definitely a well-crafted story, and I applaud Fincher and Co. for eschewing the cliches of the drama.

Transformers: Age of Extinction 2 / 5

Oh boy, another dumb Transformers movie.

Edge of Tomorrow 3 / 5

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. The concept gets repetitive quickly and the characters aren't all that amazing, but Limon's style kept me watching.

Draft Day 3 / 5

This was pretty much exactly what I figured it'd be, a glamorized Hollywood version of an NFL draft. Mainly made for fans of Kevin Costner. Kudos to Reitman for his unique split-screen techniques, even if he did overdo it.

The Secret of NIMH 4.5 / 5

I don't know how I never watched this movie as a child, but it's not too surprising since my parents mainly stuck with Disney. This is a classic, and it's a shame Bluth's career fizzled out the way it did.

An American Tail 4.5 / 5

I think I saw this once as a kid, and I remember being scared by the evil kitties (or something). I watched the sequel (Fieval Goes West) plenty back then, but this is no doubt the superior Tail. Another Bluth classic, and I wish more movies were made like this nowadays.

Heavy Traffic 3.5 / 5

Ralph Bakshi's second film, and his most personal. This hybrid live-action mixed with animation story has some great things going on, but it's muddled down with stupidity.

Coonskin 3 / 5

Another Bakshi early effort. An interesting satiric twist on Uncle Remus stories. Great concepts that get lost in too much degradation and sloppy story telling.

Taken 2 3 / 5

Ohnoes, Liam Neeson gets taken! Oh good, he had a cellphone in his sock to call his formerly-Taken-daughter to help him escape. Not many surprises, but I found it entertaining.

End of Watch 4 / 5

A refreshing gritty LA cop drama from the writer of gritty LA cop drama Training Day. I highly enjoyed this one, but the documentary camera work got tiresome after a while.

Well, I found a Wikipedia article on a novel that, to put it succinctly, sounds very, very disgusting, and not in an amusing Evil Dead II-type fashion.

I'd advise the more sensitive posters to avoid following this link:

You ever gone through crazy Wikipedia link chains? You know, where you start off reading about The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Episodes and you click this link and go to this other thing and before you know it, you end up learning all about the mathmatical issue known as "pancake sorting"?

Share some of your favorite random, weird, crazy, WTF, mind-boggling, huh-inducing, mindf*ck Wikipedia pages you've come across.

Alternatly, go to Google and type the following: "How do I clear cache in Firefox?"

^A thing of beauty right there.

Gone Girl ***1/2
I saw it; I liked it, didn't love it. Some of Fincher's style got in the way of telling the story organically. For example, his overuse of quick fade outs (even on the opening titles!) made things feel rushed. Definitely a well-crafted story, and I applaud Fincher and Co. for eschewing the cliches of the genre. And superb acting, especially surprised by Tyler Perry.

Draft Day ***
This was pretty much exactly what I'd figure it'd be, a glamorized Hollywood version of an NFL draft. Mainly made for fans of Kevin Costner. Kudos to Ivan Reitman for his unique split-screen techniques, even if he did overdo it.

No, I don't see what you mean.  It's about the same character, and follows his timeline after OOT so how is it not a sequel?  It's not a retelling of the same legend either.  No hyrule, no zelda, no princess at all.  No mention of the triforce.

 Exactly. I can't believe that people on originaltrilogy.com think that the triforce was in the OOT! It's so obviously an SE addition...

 The joke would have worked if he said OUT instead of OOT.

Announcement:

I read the announcement about the site being offline, said to self, "Ok cool." Then I logged in today and went WTF, OT.com y u no online? Oh yeah I remember now, ok cool.

End of Announcement.

I signed up. http://letterboxd.com/neglify19/

Start doing heroin, that'll kick it up a notch and the pounds will come flying off like you wouldn't believe.

(Joke! Don't do heroin.)

Let me know when 19K TVs are on sale.

"One More Red Nightmare" by King Crimson. 

^^^^^plus...

Oh my god. People are doing drugs in college??? I can't believe this.

^That's a lot of laserdisc audio we'll need to pay those guys.

Tusk.

An absolute nightmare, in every possible way. I'm a big Kevin Smith fan, but this was just the lousiest piece of cinema I think I've ever seen. Kev needs to stop smoking pot and get more fresh air when he actually gets down to making a movie.

1/5 bongs.

And this is Normal Frink.

Ok fine, "baby" isn't it.

Stop overreacting. Stop thinking about the stupid stuff that gets said here.
