9-30 - 10-6
No One Lives (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – not necessarily the worst movie I’ve ever seen, but it’s completely forgettable. Luke Evans isn’t even close to as menacing as he wants to be, all of the fodder is just that - fodder, and the whole thing is just kind of dumb. You’ll have it figured it out pretty quick, too. Fortunately, it’s really short (78 minutes), and has decent gore, so at least you won’t have to suffer for too long.
3/10
The Brave One (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I’m all for revenge thrillers, and generally found this to be a middling entry in the sub-genre. Jodie Foster makes for a believable heroine, but a lot of it seems pretty far fetched. There’s crime in NYC, but it’s a little over the top here. As with most revenge movies, there are some moments of triumph as the oppressed take down the scum. I expected this to be a decent but ultimately forgettable movie and I wasn’t wrong.
6/10
The Arrival (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I enjoyed this more than I expected to. This was one of those bargain buys you get, and then you realize the sole reason you bought it was because of the price. It borrows heavily from all of The Invasion movies, with a slightly more modern twist on some of the details. Sheen does good work here; this was before he became as crazy as a run over dog. This is from 1996 and there’s strong reliance on special effects, so that at times can detract from the experience. Overall, if you like your alien invasion films to have a little more focus on the thrills and less on action, you’ll like this. It’s not something I can see myself watching again, but for $5 I don’t have any regrets.
6/10
Cape Fear (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – This is the remake, not the original. I haven’t seen the original, but from what I understand, Scorsese emulates it pretty closely, and the principal actors from it have small parts here. It has a different feel to it; you can definitely see that it’s a throwback to the mysteries and suspense films of the 50s and 60s. It definitely has a harder edge than those movies did, mostly in part to De Niro’s very strong performance as Max Cady. I liked it overall, but don’t consider it one of Scorsese’s best, though De Niro is almost as good here as he was in Taxi Driver. Cady is much easier to figure out than Bickle was, but is much more scary, though.
6.5/10
This Is The End (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I’ve been waiting to see this since it was released, as I was unable to catch it in theater. Overall, I was a little disappointed, to be honest. There are some funny moments, but mostly it’s just the absurdity of the situation the guys work themselves into. I really like all 6 of the main actors, but they’ve all done much better work in my eyes. It’s caught on really well with most people, so you’d be better served making your own conclusion here.
6/10
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – I haven’t seen the original, but I think this is a serviceable science fiction film. It doesn’t really have the depth it aspires to obtain, nor is it really an action packed film. Keanu is well cast as the stoic Klaatu; he doesn’t really have to have any emotion for the role. It’s far from the top of the heap in its genre, but settles in somewhere around the middle.
6/10
The Last Samurai (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – This is probably my favorite Edward Zwick film, with Glory being a very close second. Cruise is very, very good here, probably his best role in my eyes, and Watanabe is as great as always. It may borrow from other films a bit much for some people, but I really enjoy it. After my 1st viewing, I had it somewhere in my top 10. I wouldn’t rank it that high after a 2nd viewing, but it’s still a bit underrated as a drama/epic.
8.5/10

I should probably say a 6/10 doesn't denote a bad movie to me. I've averaged over a movie per day for the last 18 months, and when you watch that many, you begin to see just how many movies fall into that 5-6.5 range.
Here's a scale for me, and the percentage they occurred over a 1 year period.
10 - Outstanding - 0.52%
9 - Great - 2.34%
8 - Really Good - 10.91%
7 - Good - 24.94%
6 - Decent - 30.91%
5 - Passable - 16.36%
4 - Poor - 7.01%
3 - Bad - 3.64%
2 - Really Bad - 2.86%
1 - Awful - 0.52%
If you look at them on a curve, they follow a normal distribution.
P.S. - I wasn't getting defensive, I just thought people might like to see some stats.

42 - 4/5
Pretty good baseball flick. Not the best ever but definitely better than most. That's why I find it odd that it took them this long to make a film about Jackie Robinson when there's already movies about a fat drunk (Babe Ruth) and a racist murderer (Ty Cobb).

Can't believe I didn't see this thread before. Scanning through the last few pages & completely agree with most of the comments. So I'll throw this out there. Best video game movie / also the last one I've ever seen... Mortal Kombat (1995). It's B-schlock, but it did everything right, & had decent casting. So much so... that the 2nd season of the new Mortal Kombat webseries (2013), re-cast Shang Tsung with Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. I truly believe they'll be a movie boon in the near future, like comic book movies are, now-- when things are done right, & people gasp at how rich the history is. Until then, we have scraps, but glimmers of hope, for the future. My personal favorite... a Metroid movie. Based on the game based on the movie it was inspired by (Alien), but the Metroid movie in the right hands, could surpass it- & show just how rich & valuable the entire genre of videogames, are.
