Weekly Movie Ratings

So I've come to the conclusion that I need to watch more movies..... over the past few year Ive seen a lot of the movies that have come out in the theater but before that my movie history was slim. All I hear from people older than me is them talking about movie that I've never seen. But its not all my fault - before i could drive i had no way of getting movies or going to see them. But nonetheless I've decided to watch at least three movies a week. My good friend Watch-Movies.net is providing me with decent quality movies at the click of a mouse.

-Lucky Number Slevin-
I just watched 'Lucky Number Slevin' last night and was not disappointed at all. the casting was pretty good - Lucy Lu did an outstanding job as always and Morgan Freeman added another bullet to the reason why i think he is the second best actor of all time, second to Denzel Washington. I've never been a fan of Bruce Willis but he did a good job this time. I'm not going to cover the plot because that would take to long and I don't want to give anything away.

Overall Rating 8.5/10

-A lot like love-
I'd heard 'A lot Like Love' was good so I figured Id give it a try. Funny I thought the music was one of the best things about the movie, but I'm strange and pay attention to things like the music.
It just makes a movie that much better when the music fits the scene perfectly. For example: In the Movie Wedding Crashers (Great on more than one level) when Owen Wilson was depressed, the song "I hope tomorrow is like today" by Guster played and it was the perfect song for the moment. The movie wasn't bad either. It was pretty entertaining, and I am a fan of the type girl that was in the movie - the kinda bad girl/ artsy / crazy type.... yeah.... Even Ashton Kutcher was decent in this movie. I normal don't like his stuff, espescailly dislike him in "That 70's show" but I did think he was the right guy for the job in "Guess Who"

Overall Rating 7/10

-10,000 BC-10,000 BC was not what I expected. I thought it was going to more or less be more or less a documentary with different stories going on, and i would had been cool with a halfway educational film. But instead you pretty much watch some guy who thinks hes a nobody walk around for days while following the love of his life, the beautiful Camilla Belle. The movie wasn't horrible in my opinion.... it just didn't go in the direction i would had taken it. I halfway went to see it for the special FX's and graphics and those were okay, not outstanding but good. 10,000 BC is worth a rent

Overall Rating 6.5/10
