I agree. Thank goodness I dodged the hyppe and did not see it till redbox.

I keep watching Mr. DEEDS even though it is a pile of horse manure. One of those Sandler movies that he thinks he is being funny, but everything falls flat. Possibly his girlfriend in it. Ryder. Really disliked her in it. Sandler as well.

That's my boy

Little Nicky

8 crazy nights

Bedtime stories ( actually, switch places with little nicky)

Mr. Deeds

The twin one.
Chuck and larry
Bulletproof


Beyond that they are more or less enjoyable. Or at least watchable. Am I forgetting other piles of trash from him?



I watched Airheads the other night. Forgot that Adam Sandler was in that film. He wasnt annoying in it either. Mainly because it wasnt his usual "comedy" which is talking normally then SUDDENLY SHOUTING! Forgot how funny the film was.

Saw Looper last night. The blow-by-blow:

What I liked:
+ There were some really great performances all around. I especially liked Bruce Willis and the little kid on the farm.
+ The story was really interesting, in that the future version Joe wasn't a mentor for the present one but an antagonist--and while his actions were monstrous, his motives were understandable.
+ I also liked how small scale and personal the story felt throughout. I don't like sci-fi movies that get way too hung up on their sci-fi-ness.
+ The pacing was solid. Not once did I feel the story dragged too much.
+ The action scenes were amazing, heart-pumping stuff.

What I didn't like:
- The psychic abilities in the story, and how important they become, feels really tacked on. Where did the powers come from? Why didn't they appear until the future? Why did that one character's abilities so surpass everyone else's? That's one aspect of the story that needed to be fleshed out a lot more.
- The movie's vision of the future is nothing special. They were going for something more grounded, which I appreciated, but I don't feel like they would've lost much if the film had been set in the present--or further ahead in time, to where they could've done more with the setting. Most of the movie centers around technology that doesn't exist in the present anyway.
- The ending tied things up a little TOO neatly, mainly because of an implausible bloodbath at the base of Joe's boss.

All in all? I'd give it an 8/10.

Looper had huge plot holes but it had a lot of heart and great acting. It´s too bad Joseph Gordon Levitt looks like usually because I thought he looked awesome in Looper. Looper was one of my fovurite movies of 2012

In regards to top movies of the year, none. No movie this year was worth more than 3.5/5.

The fanboy inside me however notes Expendables 2 and Prometheus as highlights, even if it took 3 - 4 viewings to finally like them.

I have heard a lot of good stuff about it. Mainly from Pezus I think. If I see it on redbox I would watch it. Not sure if I am willing to spend three dollars at blockbuster though.

The three dollars would be a phantastic investment.

I went to see The Hobbit again yesterday. It was just as great the second time.

Even though it is three hours long I saw it again as well. Lots of movies are pushing 2.5hours these days. Thought it was wonderful now that I saw the whole thing without interruptions. Rented Dredd and Ted today from Rebox. Worried about Dress, but only a little. The DvD and BluRay are not selling well from what I can see.



Whats Dredd like Spurge? I wanted to see it at the cinima but missed it.
