There is really one rule to watching such movies: do you get laid afterwards? If so, then continue watching them with your wife/GF/boyfried/whomever makes you watch them. If not, then drink more heavily.

Hell yes! I don't bitch about the movie (unless its just gawdawful unwatchable) and I get laid. It totally works out.

Almost Famous 6/10 it wasn't too bad. I was expecting it to be REALLY bad.

Almighty Thor 1/10. Probably the worst SyFy produced movie I've seen, and that's saying something. The movie gets a 1 because it has exactly 1 redeeming quality, and that's Thor and Loki battling with UZI's. When that's a redeeming quality, you know the bar is fucking low.

Seriously badly produced Youtube fan trailers have better acting and special fx.

Wow, yeah, if that's the high point.....

Olympus is Down... 6/10.... decent action flick... pretty much a no brainer shoot um up movie with lots of explosions...

How badly is the CGI going to annoy me since all I could see in the previews was CGI stuff getting blowed up (yes, that's the correct phrase, "done blowed up" works too)? I'm an old crotchety man when it comes to that now as its been actively distracting me in movies for awhile.

I'll probably see it sooner or later though.

if you're going to fuss over CGI explosions this and 90% of action movies probably aren't for you lol

You're right.

But I'm arbitrarily picky about it. I've highly enjoyed the expendables movies which 1) are terrible and 2) have tons of CGI explosions. But, they didn't do the whole "zoom out and watch the building crumble" thing. I think that's what annoys me.

Also, The Avengers (and the companion movies) tons of CGI, PILES of CGI, didn't bother me because its usually done in a manner that fits the movie.

Yes, I'm weird and if you gave it 6/10.....I'll wait until my wife asks "Did you want to see this?" and I'll say not really, but she'll get it anyway.

Hatchet III
Not sure how to rate this one. If you like absurd amounts of gore and cliche slasher fare, then it is right up your alley. I really enjoyed the first Hatchet as it was basically a Thank You note to all the slasher films I loved growing up. It (part 1 of the series) had a great script (for independent horror) and,while it reveled in the cliches it used; it felt like the person making it had a sincere love for the genre.

Part II was a steaming pile of sh*t.

If you watch anything and everything horror, you could do a lot worse than this one. I feel like they were gravitating back to the vibe of the first flick which is indeed a good thing.

hahahaha.. I hear you man... but I only gave it a 6/10 because it really wasn't anything original, it's the typical one man army action movie we've all seen before.. decent fights and action sequences.

Iron Man 3. What a pile of crap. 2/10

[spawnofthesith]

Antichrist - wtf/10

Dredd 6.5/10

Not great, not terrible. I was entertained which is really all I ask for. It kept things simple, which was nice. It certainly had the prospect of being much much lower if it had tried to "expand" on the plot. It didn't, so I give it a 6.5 as a decent action movie.

Agreed. I did think Karl Urban did an awesome job.

What'd you give the Stallone version?

I want to see Dredd, hoping it's on Netflix soon.

Nothing even remotely worthwhile in that pile of crap.

IDK, I kinda liked the new Dredd. I had very low expectations going in, and was pleasantly suprised that it was decent. - 7/10 for me.

Pain and Gain. 1/10. Very, very bad. I want my two hours back.

[Elessar [Sly]]

The Hunger games... well I watched 65% before we got erm... distracted So I will have to watch it again and then give a proper score.

[Rampage]

Clear History - 8.5/10

In true Larry David fashion, this is a frustrating tale of a tactless man who does everything wrong. Literally, whatever the right choice is, he does the exact opposite. If you like Curb Your Enthusiasm, you will probably like this as it is essentially an hour and a half long special done in Larry David's signature style.

I haven't seen the Stallone version in years but while my younger self enjoyed it I remember it mostly being a giant pile of crap and probably greatly preferred this new one.

I'm thinking it might actually make for a good parody of a futuristic action movie. Maybe I should watch it again.

The Hunger games... well I watched 65% before we got erm... distracted

Lol same story over here 2 nights ago I'd seen it in the theater and thought it was like 6/10, but after watching part of it at home I'd say it's worse

[ovid9]

Super 8- 6/10? 5/10? 4/10? Hell, I dunno, its hard to rate. Watching it I kept feeling like, "I should be LOVING this movie." Yet, I didn't, I liked the idea. I liked the plot. I hated the execution for the most part.

And that made it a lot worse because it just kept feeling like it should be amazeballs and it just kept being lackluster and annoying and dark and if you don't want to show the monster that's cool, but you don't need to have the monster in the background of 10 different scenes in 15 minutes to let us know its out and about.

Then that started magnifying all sorts of little issues I had with the movie.

Hmm, I'll go with 4.5/10 for the potential that was wasted in that movie.
