Olympus has Fallen - 8/10
I was extremely surprised at how good this was. Better then the last two "Die Hard" movies.

Agreed.
11-11 to 11-17
Silent House (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – starts off like your average claustrophobic horror film, but you realize pretty quickly something is odd about it. Things aren’t really revealed until right at the end, and even then, I had some questions. There’s nothing here too memorable to warrant a viewing, but if you like your horror movies to throw you a pretty serious curveball, give it go.
5/10
Darkness Falls (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Normally I take critics’ opinion with a grain of salt, but this is one where I should have listened. It has a ridiculous concept (the Tooth Fairy is a killer) and is coupled with some of the worst writing I’ve witnessed. The “killer” appears at times to be more of a corporeal form (it can be at two locations almost simultaneously) but the protagonist also punches it in the final act of the movie – very odd for sure. It receives a point for having a decent prologue, which is the only remotely scary part of the movie, and it’s also mercifully short at 75 minutes. Take heed of my warning, do not watch this movie.
2/10
Hangover, Part III (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – I really enjoyed the first in the series (top tier comedy for me) but I found the second merely watchable. I was proud to see they took the series in a different direction, but this one has some issues, too. This is less of a pure comedy like the others, and maybe more of a dark comedy/action thriller. It’s kind of odd and doesn’t work as well as one would hope. Fortunately, it appears the Wolf Pack has been laid to rest for at least the foreseeable future.
5/10
Thor: The Dark World (Theater, 1st viewing) – As has been the case with most of the standalone movies, it feels a little scaled down in terms of importance and stakes in comparison to The Avengers; this is really just a warm-up to Age of Ultron. Much like the first installment in the series, it matches humor and action fairly well (it’s a little unbalanced at times) and never forgets its sense of fun. Hemsworth doesn’t have the part nailed down quite as well as RDJ as Iron Man, but he’s still an excellent Thor. I never really paid any attention to her in the first movie, but Kat Dennings is smoking hot (Google some pictures). This isn’t the next great movie for the MCU, but it’s another worthy installment for sure.
7.5/10
Appaloosa (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – The resurgence of western movies the last several years has brought us some good films, 3:10 to Yuma, True Grit, Django and No Country for Old Men to a lesser degree (in terms of it being a western). Appaloosa isn’t quite on par with the aforementioned films, but it’s still worth a watch. Mortensen and Harris make for an excellent pair of leads, and the chemistry between the two is strong. If you want to watch a western with some depth, and one that also doesn’t forget how to entertain, Appaloosa is worth a watch.

The Centurion - 9/10 - This movie is fantastic. The subject matter has been done to death in recent years (King Arthur, The Last Legion, The Eagle) but this is easily the best movie out of the bunch. Michael Fassbender is a great lead and this film is a testament to that.

Moonrise Kingdom - 4/5 NNR
Another Wes Anderson film, another great one. I can't even say specifically why I enjoy his movies so much. The two main kids in this one were fantastic, and Ed Norton's subdued performance was very enjoyable.

11/18 to 11/24
Jonah Hex (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – I don’t hate it nearly as much as most critics do, but it was an odd movie for sure. He’s not the most marketable protagonist out there for starters, and the movie itself was poorly developed and lacks any real direction. I like it almost as a grind house sort of flick. It also serves as a fine example that a solid story and direction count for far more than a lot of big names, as this is loaded with talent, most of it underutilized. When Michael Shannon has 1 minute of screen time, you know you’re going to have some problems. Overall, I like it somewhat; mostly in a comic book sort of way and for Fassbender’s performance, but I’ll be the first to admit it’s not a good film.
5.5/10
She’s Out of My League (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – Definitely one of the better comedies to be released in recent memory, in my opinion. There’s a little bit more to it (in terms of depth) when compared to other comedies, and it still provides a lot of good laughs. You won’t see me give many comedies a 7 or higher, so this is definitely in that rare corps for me.
7/10
The Power of Few (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – All said and done, it’s not a terrible movie, though it’s not as intelligent or thought provoking as it aspires to be. It tries some new things, sure, but it’s a little too far fetched and ridiculous for me to get into. They pooled together some good talent for a low-budget movie, but it’s mostly wasted here. In the highly likely event you haven’t heard of it, its shot and told in a way that’s similar to Crash or Babel. The stories of the characters are all connected, and it essentially explores the impact that one person can have on many other people. It’s a good idea, but the story is a little too ham-fisted to work (you’ll see what I mean). If you want a movie that explores a similar theme (we’re all connected), go watch the far superior Cloud Atlas.
4/10
A Knight’s Tale (Blu-ray, 1st viewing) – once you get past the fact that the medieval folks are dancing to music from the 70s, it’s an enjoyable, if a bit predictable movie. It follows the same tired old clichés we’ve seen before, but the enthusiasm and performances from the cast make it a good watch. When people in entertainment suffer an untimely demise, they’re usually remembered as more influential than they really were, but that’s not the case with Heath Ledger; he had some talent and was only continuing to grow as an actor. He’s solid here, but Monster’s Ball and of course The Dark Knight are the films I’ll always remember him for.
6.5/10
Cabin in the Woods (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – I enjoyed it more this time around, if only because I had a better idea of what I was getting myself into. It mixes humor and horror together very well, and for once, the teenaged characters aren’t unbelievably stupid. It might be a little too out there for some people, but it’s one of the most original horror movies I’ve ever seen, and greatly benefits from its strong cast.
7.5/10
Untraceable (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – I think it received a little more hate than it was due, even if it is a bit unoriginal. It’s a little preachy at times with its anti-tech message and our desire to see violence, but I find it to be a decent watch. Diane Lane and Colin Hanks put in decent performances, too. It wasn’t the next great thriller, but I think it’s a serviceable entry in the genre.
6.5/10
Eastern Promises (Blu-ray, 2nd viewing) – I really enjoyed Cronenberg’s A History of Violence, and in this he unites with Viggo again, with even better results. Outside of LotR, I think this is Mortensen’s best performance. It’s an absolutely brutal film, but it succeeds at being a gritty, realistic crime drama. Mortensen definitely puts in the strongest performance, but he doesn’t overshadow the supporting cast by much; Cassel and Watts are really good here, too. Some may have liked the ending, but I would have appreciated a more conclusive finish.

Lovelace - 3.5/5 NNR
Amanda Seyfried plays the lady behind the infamous 'Deep Throat' movie and looks great doing it. They went to a lot of effort making it look like a 70's movie and they succeeded, for better and worse. Recommended to fans of Boogie Nights, The Notorious Betty Page, Fame.
The Wolverine - 2.5/5 NNR
Hugh Jackman is probably the best possible real-life Logan/Wolverine, but there just isn't enough going on in this movie to really make a great flick. I'm not familiar with any of the Silver Samurai stuff in the canon stories, but I'd bet this film adaptation strays pretty far. Overall it feels too slow--I appreciate the director's choice to have half of the dialogue in Japanese but he pretty much shot himself in the foot if he was hoping for a big box office take.
Star Trek: Into Darkness - 4/5 NNR
After two films I like this new set of Trek characters a lot. I like JJ Abrams' portrayal of ship-to-ship fighting and just overall the way he does lasers and 'splosions--they have oomph but don't overload everything else happening in the film like Michael Bay's nonsense. The new Spock is written & acted very well and even though I never cared for Kirk before, this modern incarnation is my favourite by far. Even though their ships seemed out of scale, I loved how the Klingons looked and it made me excited for the next bone. I wish they would just buckle down and do a big-budget hour-long show with this cast & crew.
