Clear History.

Basically a 90 minute episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm with a bigger budget.

Which I was quite happy with. Larry David does his Larry David thing. If you're a fan of his you should like this movie.

Casablanca.
The main character and the memorable lines make it stand out from the rest of 30s/40s movies. Otherwise not too remarkable. But I guess it's inspired about a jillion movies and everything in it is cliched now from imitations. 8/10

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Heard great things about it, but I found it not much more than a usual coming-of-age story. A good watch, but cliched characters and situations everywhere. The main character makes it stand out above all the others as well. 7/10

Finally got around to watching American Hustle, have to say I can't understand all the accolades it received.

Don't get me wrong I thought all the actors were top notch, Bale, Cooper and especially Lawrence were all outstanding. For mine I think they saved this from being an absolute bomb..

My major qualm was the storyline itself, just didn't think it was overly enjoyable... there wasn't anything fresh or unique about it, just a standard con-man movie... No real un-foreseeable twists, the drama never reached any great heights and the lol's were few and far between.

4/10- saved by the acting

A few recently.

The Machine - about creating an intelligent machine and the morality associated with all of that. I enjoyed it but it was the type of movie I was looking for when I watched it so I might be biased. Maybe a 7/10.

Noah - I came in a little late to the showing and I lol'd at the rock monsters. Enjoyed pretending to be that douche who can't get over a change from the source material. "There weren't rock monsters in the book! OMG I can't believe they would add that, so unnecessary, the book was perfect, just perfect." Overall ok. I liked how ridiculous they made Noah in comparison to the rest of his family as the movie went on, plus the bad guy was funny. 7.5/10.

The Other Woman - Pretty shit. Their worst crime wasn't poor writing, unfunny jokes, or the cliches. It was hiring Kate Upton and barely using her. Showed up roughly midway, or slightly later, and had few lines (not surprised) but also not many scenes, and zero focused on her. As the main draw (for me) was Kate Upton and her everything, I was disappointed. Therefore, I am disappointed. 2/10. Most of that two comes from the opening Upton scene in that white bikini and running, and I believe there was one joke I found funny in there, but sadly not funny enough to be worthy of remembrance.

Bad Neighbour - Liked it. Funny pretty much the whole way, but no realllllly funny scenes or moments, for mine. Very consistent level of funny throughout but just not a SUPER high level. Definitely worth seeing but maybe not in the top class of other Rogen movies. Liked Rose Byrne but I like her in general so I'm biased. She broke her Australian accent in one moment (pronounce the hard r at the end of neighbour) and I was disappoint. 8.5/10.

The Conspiracy - I am totally a conspiracy theorist guy so this movie was right up my alley. Enjoyed it a lot but felt a bit flat at the ending. I really be surprised at all if this were a thing, something like this with secret groups of powerful people controlling the world and having these kind of ritual meetings and junk. This is an 8/10 because of truth.

Moon shows the potential of a movie when hundreds of millions of dollars aren't spent on actors.
There were only a couple of actors in it and with a budget of 5 million dollars the special effects and production values were still top notch.

Shows the potential of what movies could achieve in special effects if overpaid actors weren't being paid the majority of the budget, or what TV series could achieve if actors weren't being paid $300,000 per episode.

I wanna see footage of Morgan Freeman saying some of Vitruvius' ridiculous lines, or of Liam Neeson doing the Good Cop voice.
