I'll probably rue giving up Charlize Theron, but I'll settle for Bridget Moynahan :sweetheart:
In the interest of peace, for your perusal.
Edit - Also BM looks very pretty in I, Robot. Good movie.

Thor - 8.5/10
The bad:
Horrible, horrible costumes and special effects at times.
Uninspired fairy look for Asgard.
Slightly stupid and disappointing ending.
The fighting was disappointing.
The good:
Good actors.
Excellent characters.
Excellent humor.
Decent story (until the end).
I generally do not like superhero movies, but Thor is an exception. My list of bad and good features makes it look as if I do not like the movie, but that is not so. More than anything, I think the movie is a comedy (sort of like the Green Hornet...another one I love). I found it to be hilarious, and I loved the main character. He is an obnoxious, arrogant, self obsessed son of a god. Despite that, he is a fairly likable character, and comes off as pretty cool in his own way.
I definitely would recommend it.
The Green Hornet - 10/10
The bad:
It ended...
The good:
Everything.
I heard a lot of negative reviews coming from critics about The Green Hornet, and was pretty prejudiced against it before I even saw it. I'm just glad that I did not listen to them and skip it. It is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. All the characters are excellent, the story is funny, the actors are superb. There is nothing I can honestly say that I did not like about the film. It is pure win.
Killer Elite: This movie was not elite. Typical action, guys-last-job type of movie, nothing really cool. In fact, Jason Statham as a "preofessional" assassin made some really idiotic choices, like the one where he didn't ditch his disguise while in the hospital, but ditched it outside next to his car in plain view of everyone.
Smokin Aces 2: There was nothing good about this movie. At all. Terrible. Idiotic. Borrowed heavily from Usual Suspects.
Drive
So freaking good. The elevator scene had me applauding while my friend was reeling in sheer disgust. Brilliant performance by Albert Brooks too.
Abduction
There's just one word: bland. It's a vehicle to show-off that twillight kid. They got him on board and that's the point they stopped puting any effort in.
Even my female companion (apparently a huge fan of twillight) had to admit that this movie was a waste of time.
transformers Dark side of the moon.
I love these movies and i love michael bay.
Real Steel
Awesome
Regardless, it's not something that should ever be said, even in jest.
I kinda like his movies, you know you are going to be watching a loud dumb action-movie. Can be entertaining from time to time
Иди и смотри. A great war film. Harrowing in parts. Would recommend.
Easy A: Kind of funny and amusing. The school christians were a hoot.
Terrible Bosses: Was actually very funny. A bit of a plot hole at the end, but some really LOL moments. Most people could probably identify with one of the 3 bosses in one manner or another.
Clash of the Titans, just great mindless fun. Perfect popcorn-movie.
I'm debating whether or not to see the new 3 Musketeers. Judging by the trailer it's totally different from the book, which is my favorite book ever, and if it deviates too much from it or just sucks so bad, I just might break down sobbing in the middle of the movie.
It will suck.
It got a C- from the AV Club; http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-t...keteers,63858/
I would not expect much fidelity to the book.

I accidentally posted a music video here, and will now replace it with a review of a film I saw today:
Blair witch project II: 3/10: confusing, horrible, with a weird and disturbing (in how confusing it is) ending. it is just horrible. only reason I even gave it a number higher than 0 was the one cute looking girl :clown:
Rare Exports: 7/10
Fun.
Super 8 - This was pretty good. Gave me classic Spielberg vibes (kinda reminded me a little of both Close Encounters and E.T.) but not quite as good obviously. A solid 4/5 I guess.
Lust, Caution; excellent Chinese erotic thriller set in occupied China. Beautifully shot, awesome acting. The sex-scenes are real, you get to see everything including penetration but it's never vulgar. Highly recommended explicite sex-scenes don't bother you. It's a bit of a Chinese version of Blackbook in story, it's basicly a espionage-thriller.
I pretty much love everything Wes Anderson does. My favorite is The Darjeeling Limited. I give them all good marks.
I think most Wes Anderson movies are pretty good, but I prefer his older ones, with Bottle Rocket being my favorite.
I really hate Owen Wilson now and wish Anderson would stop using him.
Drive. Jarring and awkward in parts. But, also tense, good acting, etc. When it gets it right, damn it gets it right.
I had to watch Spy Kids today and have decided, should I ever have kids I will not let them watch children's movies.
