    Eh. A mildly interesting story about how a guy tries to get the world record score in Donkey Kong. If you're geeky like me then you'll like it. If not, you'll be very bored.

    Wow, what a terrible movie. Starring Jeff Daniels, it was filmed in Jackson, MI. It tries to be funy by making every low-class sex joke it can. But the over-acting and horrible characterizations make it one of the worst movies ever. Stay away.

    Pretty funny, I laughed out loud quite a few times. It's basically high school humor, but the characters are so extreme that it's very entertaining. Watch it some Friday night with some beers and some friends.

    A very bizarre, yet very intriguing story of betrayal and late nights for the rich and famous. A strange look into the mid of the late Stanley Kubrick. Check it out if you haven't already.

    I like Hellboy. Maybe I'm biased because it's a comic book adaptation and I like comics, but this is a movie that really doesn't take itself too seriously, but still is pretty bad-ass. Got a little boring at parts while it explored the story.

    This was a pretty good movie. I wish it was a little more fleshed out and maybe a little ore intentionally funny, though. It's mainly just a look inside someone's life, at a crazy, pivotal point. But Thomas Hayden Church did wonders for the comedic side of this movie.

    It's a musical. Let's get that right out of the way. Once the initial chuckle was out of the way, the rest of the movie went by fairly quickly. It was good to see the story and I liked Tim Burton's take on everything, but it was a musical. Just not a fan. But it was entertaining.
