Milk - 9/10 Slumdog Millionaire - 8.5/10 E: How would Cruise using a German or English accent be any better? Either he’s speaking German (accuracy), or he’s not, in which case any kind of affectation just draws you further out of the movie. His natural dialect is appropriate in a situation where he’s not speaking actual German. ---

Because it’s not going to be perfect. And last I checked, German soldiers in WWII didn’t speak English anyway. Unless Tom Cruise has mastered accents of late (he doesn’t exactly have an extensive repertoire), he’ll be speaking in a mediocre German accent, which will draw me out because I’ll be thinking “Gah, there’s Tom Cruise trying to be German again.” Either it’s in actual German, or it doesn’t matter, because it’s not accurate anyway. ---

I admit that his German accent would have sucked. Either way he was the wrong choice for this movie. But he probably funded it so… ---

I LOVED the Underworld movies, the next one is going to be amazing as well. Last night I saw Bedtime Stories (new movie with Adam Sandler). It was pretty good actually. Had some pretty funny parts. Good family/kids/ take your gf to type movie. I’d give it a 7/10. ---

The Day the Earth Stood Still - 6 / 10 Not a terrible movie, but it didn’t make you think at all like the previews made it seem. I was going into it with the mindset I was going to have to figure shit out and have to use my brain to understand what was going on, and it was totally straight forward. Other than that, not bad. Eagle Eye - 6.5 / 10 Started off good, even continued pretty good in the middle, then once you figured out what was going on it turned pretty stupid. One of those “They could have just done this, or this, or this…” and the whole sequence of the movie could have just been avoided. Previews are somewhat deceiving, I was expecting some terrorist attack to me imminent and the main storyline of the plot to be some huge distraction… nope. Not a bad movie at all though, great special effects, but sometimes reminded me of transformers because of all the shit going on on the screen at once and the cameras switching back and forth to each other so much and so fast you feel like you’re missing stuff. ---

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. 8/10 Very good, and despite being almost 3 hours long didn’t drag on. I thought it felt sort of like Forrest Gump meets The Notebook, but it was good none the less. ---

Taken 8/10. Starts out kinda meh, seems very predictable… turns out to be a pretty solid action/thriller. Kidnapping, Hookers, Drugs, Guns, and Violence. Pretty solid recipe. ---

**Maximum Overdrive** I saw this movie once when I was very young. It definitely scared me back then, but what 7 year old isn’t afraid of scary movies? Starring Emilio Estevez, this is the epitome of 80’s B-movie horror. It’s not at all scary and there is very little here that hasn’t been seen before. 8/10 for nostalgia 4/10 for content ![http://www.antigravitas.com/uploaded_images/maximum_overdrive-735659.jpg](http://www.antigravitas.com/uploaded_images/maximum_overdrive-735659.jpg) ---

Righteous Kill - 8.5 / 10 No real complaints. Great twist, kept me thinking the whole time. DeNiro and Pacino are magnificent as always. Step Brothers - 6.5 / 10 Pretty Funny, kinda slow at times, overall not a bad flick. ---

> [@JaysGreenLX](#): > > **The Curious Case of Benjamin Button** > > It was pretty clear, based on the previews, what was going to happen in this movie. Brad Pitt was born with the body and ailments of an 85 year old man, but of course he is just a baby. As he ages, he looks and feels younger. It was a good story and interesting to see how different situations in life are handled by the other characters in the movie. People treat Benjamin like an old man and assume things about him, but he is really only a teenager. You have to always keep in mind that fact that he is not what everyone else thinks. I found myself doing a lot of math in this movie as they leave the years and ages of people somewhat ambiguous at times. Overall, a good flick and story, but not a ton of things happen. I felt a little like there should have been more events in the story. But I like David Fincher as a director and I thought this was a very good movie. > > 7/10 saw this and agree… its def more of a storytelling movie, as opposed to any kind of drama or suspense or like, wondering how they will get around a PROBLEM… instead we both know what happens in the end lol ---

the golden compass, since it was the only thing on HBO I have not seen a 1000 times. 6/10, kinda left me wanting to know more of the story, not enough Daniel Craig(no homo), and the part where the polar bear punched off the other bears jaw was cool. ---

To be honest I didn’t like it, I knew after the first 10 minutes what the plot and ending was going to be. It was a completely different movie than the trailers made it out to be, so I was quite upset with it. But I’ll give it a 10/10 for having 50 Cent in it. ---
