Sorry for the lack of updates

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been very busy over the past 3 months and don't really think about updating this account. Just wanted to give an update now for anyone interested. I have seen a few movies over the last few months. Here's the ones I can remember:

Superbad - 70% (Funny but raunchy.)
Shoot 'Em Up -40% (Some cool parts, way too much unbelievability, over the top.)
The Brothers Solomon - 30% (Boring.)
Stardust - 85% (Fun movie to watch, reminded me a little of a modern Princess Bride.)
The Simpsons Movie - 70% (Enjoyable, funny, lighthearted.)
3:10 to Yuma - 80% (Very good movie, great western.)
American Gangster - 65% (This movie had the most interesting story behind it, but it was prettty boring till the last 15 minutes. I liked it, but mostly for the historical value.)
Flushed Away - 50% (Better than I thought it would be, animation was good.)
Atonement - 80% (Bittersweet feelings with this movie, emotional and well-done, good story.)
Rushmore - 90% (Great movie! Funny, great acting, great story. Love Wes Anderson's films.)
Reptilicus - 70% (This movie was so good because it was so bad. Sam and I saw it because we got a cool 70's movie poster of it. The worst acting, the worst effects, this movie was such a financial bomb that employees from the company who made it were prohibited from talking about it for years. We laughed a lot.)
Across the Universe - 10% (I turned off this movie half-way through. It was one of the worst musicals I've seen. The Beatles music was butchered and the movie was unenjoyable.)
Dedication - 80% (This was a great romance/drama/comedy uniquely done. It was different than most movies like it. I really enjoyed it.)
The Nines - 70% (Weird movie. Interesting, but still weird, concept. I liked the layout of the movie and it was cool to watch.)
There Will Be Blood - 80% (This oil movie moved pretty slow, but it was very well-done and makes you feel sort of awful afterwards. All that to say, it was worth seeing for me, phenomenal acting. And there wasn't a lot of blood.)
Michael Clayton - 70% (Interesting, well-done movie. Didn't completely understand it but was intriguing to watch.)

Waitress (2007)

A great comedy/drama about a pie-baking woman finding herself pregnant from her husband, who she doesn't love, and trying to find her way in life. The acting was great and I really enjoyed watching it.

The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

Amazing movie. Second time watching it in 2 or 3 months. Really funny at times and heart-warming. Wes Anderson has a lot of slow-moving or dry comedy, but he does it so well. Great portrayal of "brotherhood". I reviewed this a few months ago also, if you want to hear more, scroll down.

Hot Shots! (1991)

This super-gag spoof movie about pilots is a guaranteed laugh. So many great puns and gags. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to watching Hot Shots! Part Deux

Juno (2007)

This was a great movie. It's about a 16-yr-old girl who gets pregnant and tries to figure out the responsible thing to do, learning about love and life along the way. Ellen Page did an awesome acting job. Full of wit, comedy and sincerity.

National Treasure: Book Of Secrets (2007)

This movie was pretty much the same as the first, just a new adventure. Nothing really deep to the movie. It didn't impress me much but it was a fun family movie to watch. If you liked the first national treasure you will enjoy the second.

I Am Legend (2007)

I really enjoyed this movie. It was a good mix of thrill and suspense with the tone of the philosophical/psychological ideals of being the last person on earth. Great shots and awesome acting. Cool flick!

Once (2007)

I really liked this movie. I liked the story and it's ending. It had some good music in it and momentous acting. It was a very different style, an indie movie, charming and realistic, and very well done.

The Nanny Diaries (2007)

I thought this was a really cute movie. I liked Scarlett Johanssen. The actors did great and the style of the movie was cool. It was just a pretty typical movie, but still enjoyable.

The Last Lecture of Randy Pausch (2007)

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5700431505846055184 (This is the full 1:45 lecture of Randy Pausch, a professor dying of pancreatic cancer).
http://www2.oprah.com/videochannel/videochannel_player.jhtml?video=1178&category=31 (This is a smaller version of his lecture on Oprah. Go to "Professor Randy Pausch's last lecture").

This lecture was so sincere and real. I really enjoyed listening to this man's final words to his class and at some point, his kids, who do not yet know that their father is dying from pancreatic cancer. Very inspirational!
It really helps me to put things in perspective with the nerve damage in my leg too, that causes leg cramps and such. There's a great part about complaining vs. "playing the game harder". And balancing hope and realism. It was just so amazing! I would definitely recommend taking some time to listen.

Lady and the Tramp (1955)

A Disney Masterpiece for sure. I love this film. This time around I noticed the beautiful music with the animation (a trademark in most Disney masterpieces), and the interesting social messages about families and living the "single" free life and realities of settling down. The dogs in this movie are just so adorable.

Raging Bull (1980)

Although a very sad movie, I was captivated throughout. Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro combine to create an amazing film.

Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

This was a splendid movie. Fun and exciting to watch. Interesting choice of cinematics. Clever script. May be the best of the Ocean movies.

License To Wed (2007)

This was sort of a boring mediocre chick flick, but it had a few good laughs and wasn't a total waste of time.

A Mighty Heart (2007)

A remarkable portrayal of Daniel Pearl and his wife, journalists in Iraq. You may remember hearing the news several years ago. But the acting was just phenomenal and very emotional. It was a beautiful movie.

Disturbia (2007)

This movie was really good, despite the seemingly odd mixture of suspense, highschool drama, humor, and decent drama. There was something kind of off about it as a whole, and the end was a little disturbing, hence the title. But overall, I went in having sort of low expectations and was impressed with the acting and overall story.

No Country for Old Men (2007)

This movie was way intense. It was done so well, another amazing Coen brothers film. Phenomenal acting and compelling story. I really was impressed by the unpredictable nature of the film and the message portrayed at the end.

Planet Terror (2007)

This movie was similar to it's partner, Death Proof, in the sense that it's really awesome, but not in the typical way. I'm usually not into zombie movies, especially ones with gross bloody scenes. But they were able to make light of the situation in the movie and it almost seemed like a spoof at times. I was entertained throughout the movie, even though I probably wouldn't recommend it to most people.

Rambo: First Blood Part 2 (1985)

This movie is over the top in every way possible. It's not a good movie, but it's bad parts are humorous and entertaining, so fun at times to watch.

Death Proof (2007)

Besides having the typical appeal of women and fast cars, this movie ended up being really cool. It was a little disturbing at parts and a little too "racy" for me, but I was really into the movie and totally enjoying the plot by halfway through the movie. There is a lot of language but it is used in a semi-humorous way.
