as of now im just using the one you posted somewhere around page 2035 (if you're set at 10 posts/page).

I have no problem with it, just giving my reasons for doing so.

I just watched Where the Wild Things are at an IMax theater, gotta say, it was pretty awesome, obviously a bit childish but the monsters were incredible in it, worth seeing it on a 6 story screen

I gave my opinion on it earlier, but I was only about 75% of the way through the movie. I tried watching the rest of the film last night, but cut it off because I didn't give a damn how the movie ended. That's how horrible the movie was. I originally gave it a 6/10, but now my rating is a 4.5/10. What a turd of a movie.

Well, I also forgot True Romance, but screw it. On second thought, put True Romance right below it and bump Tombstone as well if that's ok

And now no more requests from me, I promise

EDIT Again: Thanks for the work you guys are putting toward this. I'm really curious as to how the results turn out.

EDIT more: I can't type worth a shit. Pulling an all nighter getting blitzed and playing Dragon Age: Origins has taken it's toll on me. I'm going to bed.

ok so true romance at 15 then?

Some movies I've seen recently

Unforgiven

After much discussion on this film many pages ago, I decided to watch it since I owned it. I had some pretty high expectations and although I won't say it lived up to them, it did fall a little short. But with that said, the movie was classic Eastwood. The story was engaging throughout and Clint's character was fun to watch. The ending was a bit of surprise, I didn't expect Clint to flip the switch as drastically as he did so that made for a great ending. Not the best western I've seen, but a solid one nonetheless.

8/10

The Seventh Seal

This was a interesting movie. It was too philosophical to enjoy as a film, but it was thought-provoking which I can at least appreciate. The film re-raised many questions that I had about life, death and God and although each question wasn't answered directly, I felt that through the film the answers were there either subtly or obviously. Not the best film I've seen but one of the deepest, most thought-provoking.

7.5/10

Once Upon a Time in America

Now first, I must say that I wasn't able to watch it in one sitting. I watched disc 1 and got sleepy and then it took almost a week to watch disc 2. Regardless, this movie is a masterpiece. The story was great, the acting was terrific, and the themes of friendship, loyalty and betrayal are shining throughout. Not to mention, some scenes were heart-warming and sentimental whereas other scenes were just pure badass. My only regret is not watching it in one sitting.

9.5/10

Mr. And Mrs. Smith

I just caught this on TV just now, and it was ok. Like, it was entertaining and all but the story was weak as shit. In fact, the only thing that kept me watching the film was that it was enjoyable ride from beginning to end. That was its only redeeming quality. The action sequences were decent but overall the movie could use some tweaking.

5.5/10

Like when they bust out of the shed in the store nobody could put em down and they all get killed in the processes. Put me in that situation and I would have killed them both
