The Accidental Tourist Also watched this recently because I heard a corgi was one of the main characters. I liked it. William Hurt gives a good performance. Geena Davis was alright, but I'm not sure why she got an Oscar for this.
Couples Retreat Your standard American comedy affair. Got a few chuckles but main focus was all of the hotties in it.
Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows. A bit too much action and not enough deduction, Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr's chemistry as Holmes and Watson is still a highlight and Moriarty is good, but unremarkable until the latter part of the film.
Moneyball It was well acted. Brad Pitt did a good job with his role. But I didn't feel like the story itself was all that interesting or anything really worth telling. Sports is a business, and teams pick players based on statistics. If that's news to you. you've been living under a rock. There was also no emotional core to the movie. I just didn't care about any of the people involved, or feel engaged with the story in any way. No surprises that it's by the same guy who did the crapass Social Network.
but the point behind the concept of Moneyball, you DO know how that blew the tops off of Baseball's FA market. It was basically a 360 degree (yes I do realize the irony in that, 360 degrees is just turning around but that's basically what it did, took a second to divert the market's monolithic drive before it continued on doing what it's been doing only with a slightly better understanding...) turn around! The execution may be questionable (I'd not seen it yet) but I don't think you got the concept right. Their not handling FA like they'd always done, it's slightly different now. Basically they were looking at one set of numbers before, now it's a different set of numbers .
Oh yea, and GI Joe was a mess. I only watched it since I saw the trailer for the new one and it looked like a fun action movie. Directed by Jon Chu, the same guy who directed the greatest movie in the movie Step Up 2.
Final Destination 5 This movie was fucking stupid beyond belief and had a cast of nobodies, but the deaths were hilarious, so I guess it served its purpose.
At least they got rid of the Alice powers. Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows: Was quite entertaining, but not as good as the first.
Wild Hogs Very generic comedy with predictable situations all around but there were some humorous moments.
You didn't like how the old guy walked up from the basement all cut up with scissors impaled on him and said it was and accident? And people believed him?
Real Steel The robot boxing segments were pretty entertaining, but the kid was really annoying. Overall I thought it was decent.
Mother Lode An early '80s thriller about a creepy gold prospector that proves Charlton Heston's ability to take very average material and make it more interesting than it deserves to be. A very young Kim Basinger co-stars.
Season of the Witch(Nicolas Cage) Had heard this was crap but I really enjoyed it. Even Cage's monotone voice did not ruin this film.
