Once again, I’ve already gone through these in more detail, so I won’t waste your time. Have fun reviewing #11-20. Next we will get to some really shitty movies, trust me.
11. Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day: Dammit, this movie pissed me off. Loved the first. Loathe this piece of shit. Waste of time. Waste of film. Spends most of the movie raping the first one. Seriously. 1/10
12. The A-Tea- 2010: I’ve seen this again since the first time and still liked it. It’s not perfect but it’s a fun re-imagining of the old 80’s TV show. Check out my Kansas City TV Examiner review. 7/10
13. Twilight- 2008: You fucking Twi-Hards. I just want to go on record as saying that women obsessing about this glittery vampire crap is NOT the same us dudes like me geeking-out over Star Wars or Spider-Man or some shit. It’s not the same. This one actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be– that would be that New Moon shite. 5/10
14. State of Play- 2009: Not bad but not great. Well written and acted but kind of slow paced but a good political thriller that relies more on suspense than forcing political ideas on you. 7/10
15. Entry Level- 2007: I don’t remember shit about this movie except it was some independent movie I found on cable in the middle of the day so I watched it. It has a bunch of quirky characters but no one you’ll give a shit about. Pass on it. 5/10
16. Sex Drive- 2008: Typical teen sex comedy and not in a good way. It has a bunch of dudes that you’ll wonder “what the fuck is that dude doing in this movie?” The answer is stealing a pay check. 4/10
17. Lakeview Terrace- 2008: Samuel L. Jackson is just one of those guys that is either a total bad ass or a total jack ass. He doesn’t care either. He knows he makes more good movies than bad but when they’re bad, you get this schlock. So much drama is created simply because its in the screenplay. Crap. 3/10
18. Up in the Air- 2009: One of Jorge Clooney’s best. He’s really good at these characters that are slick and cool and like to talk. This one is directed by Jason Reitman, son of Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman. He’s a film maker that is going to make some good flicks as he gets older. 8/10
19. The Karate Kid- 2010: I’m not going to try and convince you this movie is better than the original because it is not. But it is pretty good and waaay better than I expected it to be. It has good performances from Will Smith’s kid and Jackie Chan, who should have gotten an Oscar nomination. It’s entertaining right up until the end–when Justin Bieber sings over the credits. Hide the razor blades. But I do agree it suffers from a serious lack of Elisabeth Shue. 8/10
20. Mystery Team- 2009: You know that dude on Community, the hilarious one?– no not Abed, but Troy. He’s a funny fucker. He has a comedy group that made this movie. It’s VERY low budget but pretty funny if you like the ridiculous. Three idiots who solved neighborhood crimes when they were young, still try living off that pub as teens– and fail until someone gets killed. 7/10
