It really helps that those movies had good source material to begin with.

Lionheart 7/10

Wow, what a fine piece of aged cheese. This movie is hilarious, though i doubt that was their intention. Still a lot of fun all the same.

Notice how much stuff JCVD gets for punching one guy in the balls.

This movie has all kinds of problems but its still a blast to watch.

Oddly enough, my friend's dad knows one of the women in the crowd scenes in this movie. I think she was one of the random bikini girls in the pool fight scene.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Best movie I've seen about mental illness and 1 of the best from the 70s period.

Two films which Ack would not want me to tell you are about life, but are.

The Social Network: It was alright. I generally enjoyed watching it, but I don't think it came close to the hype. My wife was kind of bothered by general sexist atmosphere and protrayal of women in the film. I thought that the scenes involving the Winklevoss twins were the best ones. "I'm 6'5'', 220 pounds, and there's two of me!" 3.5/5.

I Love you Phillip Morris: This film seems to have a couple of continuity errors, which I guess could be explained away by the unreliable narrator. Apart from that, I thought this movie was great. Really, the less you know about the movie going in, the better it is, so I'd encourage you not to look up the synopsis on Wikipedia. Jim Carrey gives a good performance, but for me the highlight was Ewan McGregor. There were a couple of scenes that made me really uncomfortable. No-- not the scenes you're thinking. Both scenes involve Jim Carrey in meetings. 4/5.

Yeah, this is a great film and one of my all time favorites. It is also arguably Nicholson's best performance, which is saying something given his career.

However, after seeing the second one, which was freaking amazing, I have faith they'll do it right.

They seem to have a lot of respect for this story and world, which is the right attitude to have.
Last I checked it was only Five!
They upped it?

Either way, Kung-Fu Panda 2, which is the last movie I saw, is quite possibly the best movie I've ever seen. It was terrific.
