The Dark Knight Rises: 9/10
I've seen it before but it was on TV today so I rewatched it. The final scenes with Robin makes me wish they would continue from there or do some sort of spin-off, but at the moment I don't think they are.

Tusk. 8.5/10
Now that was a strange Black Comedy, Serial killer, Horror, Arthouse mix. The script is really, really odd but due to a pretty awesome dialogue you never really get lost - the movie is very entertaining from start to end imo. Lots of wtf`s. Plenty of suspense and humor.
But the acting is probably what really drives the movie - Michael Parks deliver his lines with perfect timing. Justing Long perfect as succesfull, smug podcaster. And Genesis Rodrigues is hot! (http://www.liveforfilms.com/wp-conte...-Rodriguez.jpg )
I can se why some reviews think it is over the top - a Kevin Smiths sick fantasy thing. Personally i think it is one of the better movies this year - it is definitely something else.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014): 5/10
I'm not gonna lie, I watched it solely for Megan Fox. But anyway, this was ok for a kids movie, it's a bit pretentious to expect anything serious or good. If it's a passably fun ride with lots of eye candy, it served its purpose.
The Skeleton Twins- 9/10
Omg. I. Loved. This. Film.
The Hunger Games, Mocking Jay part 1
Overall a solid 8. Good movie, lots of emotion, though the build up is fairly slow. I´d like to see more of the uprising itself though. The shit rebels pull and stuff.
Also the clifhanger was balls. I mean, there were solid moments to end the first part. For example when the president says he knows they are inside the building, or the part where Peeta tries to choke her. Now they ended with him acting retarded on a bed.
But thats all the criticism i have atm. Oh, and he didnt want to call them criminals, chose radicals, but then had a speech where he called them criminals?
Nightcrawler 7 / 10
Loved Gyllenhaal's performance and the overall disgusting news attention-wh*re theme. Definitely a movie that makes you think about news shows in general. It was a little bit too long and I had sometimes an issue with the pacing. Plus the sound in my movie theater was really bad to a point where I wanted to complain about it (which never happened to me before... wrote a complain afterwards and am curious about the response).
Guardians of the Galaxy, 9/10.
Chris Pratt is a great Starlord, and most of the actors were good. My only complaint was that the villain wasn't given much complexity besides "he's evil".
Predestination: 8.5/10
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
I think you're right. I'm even sitting below the poster for it.
OT: The Big Lebowski. 9/10
I hadn't seen this in a couple of years, but there was a midnight showing on Friday
so I dragged my friends to go see it. They weren't too impressed, but I very much
enjoy it for what it is.
A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014): 6.5/10
A movie with a lot of problems and things that didn't make much sense. Liam Neeson was ok, the story was interesting in the first half, but it lost steam in the second half. Still pretty enjoyable.
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) - 5/10
The movie looks good, it has a good cast, and it has its moments, but at the end of the day, it's pretty bland, and it seems like it's trying to say something, but I can't really tell what that something is. God is a childish bastard? Moses was a bit cray-cray? The characters didn't really have any standout moments either, Moses and Ramses were the only characters you really got to know, and their quarrel couldn't carry it.
The Maze Runners: 7/10
First part of the movie was pretty cliché, but the second part was very interesting!
Now watching TMNT 2014
He Got Game. 7/10
When you have Denzel Washington and Milla Jovovich in a movie, you just expect a bit more.
Was still a nice entertaining time to watch it.

Video Games: The Movie-8/10
Not really a documentary about video games as much as it is a celebration of them. It goes through the history, through different landmarks in the timeline that lead up to where gaming is now and where it may very well go. It includes interviews for industry veterans and a few "celebrity nerds". Mixed in with the interviews is footage from just about every big game imaginable throughout the years, and it was interesting to see how many I could recognize. My one caveat about the movie is that it doesn't really give any new information or make any big revelation about gaming. It hits all the big moments, but if you follow video games, chances are you probably know 90% of what it goes over. While this movie would be a great introduction to someone who does not know much about the history or what is going on in gaming right now, to a gaming veteran, the information will just come off as redundant. Granted, it is still entertaining to watch as a celebration of gaming and gaming culture, but if you are expecting more than that, you may be disappointed.
Zombieland (again) 10/10
