I am not particularly fond of watching movies. Restless (original title: Levottomat), Me and Morrison, Sex and Lucia, The Graduate are probably the only movies I like. Real life scripts about despair, addiction, especially drug addiction/abuse, psychiatric/psychological illnesses, sex etc. is what interests me most. Everything else, crap. Nevertheless, I’ve decided to start enlisting the movies that I watch, here, my ratings are unreasonable, perhaps:

14. 17 Again 0/5 [FUN RPB.1]
17 Again, very bad movie. Waste of time, and money.
July 2009
15. Terminator 3 2/5
I watched it on TV. I’d seen this on the big screen, whilst it ran, what, 6 years ago?
16. Hangover 5/5
Full marks for entertainment.
17. Goodbye Bafana 4/5
18. Transformers, the return of the fallen 2/5 [FUN RPB.2]
Too long, boring at times, nowhere close to the previous attempt.
19. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs [5/5 - VISUALS] [0/5 - STORY] [FUN RPB.3]
YA YA YA YA YA all good effects and all. But at the end of the day, the story sucks. No points for editorial content. Show us the extinction of the Mammoths already! Get in the Homo erectus or whatever the first’of its kind were. Hmpf.
AUGUST 2009
20. Public Enemies 5/5 [FUN RPB.4]
YA AYA YA YA YA YA YA YA Good movie. Watch. Watch.
SEPTEMBER 2009
21. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 3/5 [FUN RPB.5]
A very engaging movie and 5/5 for acting. Go watch!
22. Quick Gun Murugan 2.5/5 [FUN RPB.6]
Most characters in this film are well sought out. A couple of them could have been better though. I thought that a couple of actors didn’t fit the bill. The movie loses its way in the second half. In fact, the second half is awful. But take nothing away from the first half. It is a very entertaining movie, but only half of it.
23. District 9 5/5 [FUN RPB.7]
Very nice. Finally, a movie about aliens shot correctly; documentary like. I like the fact that they didn’t choose a pretty boy or tough guy to play the lead role. 3 years, they promised. In 3 years they’ll have, well, District 10, perhaps.
