Recent Movie Reviews

After I see a movie, I rate and review it on my Netflix account, and through the beauty of Facebook Connect, this information is magically displayed on my Facebook Wall. The reviews are short, mostly uninformative, and sometimes unintelligible, yet they are entirely likely to inspire you.

Here’s a recap of my most recent viewings:

4 out of 5 stars
An enormously complex and emotional movie. Joaquin Phoenix is as good at acting as he is bad at rapping.

1 out of 5 stars
So incredibly bad that about halfway through the movie I just went to Wikipedia and read the full plot details.

4 out of 5 stars
Awkward and disturbing from start to finish. What a great movie!

3 out of 5 stars
Incredibly entertaining and great special effects. However, this movie takes itself WAY too seriously — does every scene really have to play like its the final scene of The Usual Suspects?

3 out of 5 stars
Much better than I expected; really good performances, especially Brolin.

4 out of 5 stars
This was painful to watch…in a good way!

    I am disappointed that you left out your review for Paul Blart: Mall Cop, since I know you saw it twice in the theater.

    I have it in my queue three times in a row, so you should expect a review soon.
