Just watched 'Die Welle (The Wave).'
German movie based on a true story (not sure how accurate it is tbh) about a teacher who tries to show his class how easy it is to create a facist movement.
Pretty good. I believe there is an American version that was made in the 70's but according to critics, the German version is better.
7.5/10

I saw Lawless. It's about a family of prohibition era moonshiners in Appalachia, based on a true story. I'm a sucker for period pieces, as well as movies with gangsters/criminals who don't give a fuck. So this one had a pretty good shot of me liking it. But, it just didn't cut it. I imagine it got green-lighted because of the success of Boardwalk Empire (which is the best show on TV, sorry Breaking Bad fans). Basically, some stories are worth making a movie out of, some aren't. This one isn't. They gave it the old college-try, but it was utterly forgettable. Thumbs down.

...definitely to be avoided: the cast includes Shia LaBoeuf, the only actor to be outdone by Mattel toys...
...majestically enthroned amid the vulgar herd...
If you like Will Ferrell, check out the Campaign.

that's not entirely true; he had co-stars.Originally Posted by tomcat

In fact, his acting was fine. The other actors were good too...the characters believable. I just didn't find the story particularly compelling.
there should be an Oscar for Best Actor/Acress in a Movie With an Incredibly Stupid Premise.
^Call it "The Dennis Hopper in Waterworld" award.

there could also be a lifetime achievement award. it could be named after David Carradine...
Batman the dark knight rises = 7/10 not bad except for Catwoman (BS)
Total Recall = 7/10 interesting
Judge Dredd = 7.5/10 I liked it
Stolen 4/10 = another crap movie with Nicolas Cage
Expendables 2 = 8/10 better than the first one and the Norris sighting was a treat
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World - Bit too long at times, but luckily no romantic Hollywood Ending! Keira Knightley was a bit wishy washy though.
Expendables 2 - New Chinese babe is yummy, good cast, basically a string of action sequences strung together - well. Coulda done with more Jet Li though. Van Damme was very good for a change.
When I was in America a guy told me to 'have a nice day' but I didn't, so I sued him
Useless.....Knightly was abysmal...although she may win an award for 'Most Unconvincing Trout Pout'......Good idea, badly directed.....and..Why are we using italics?....
Spoiler alert?
Keira Knightley is just about the most beautiful actress on earth, but as far as I can tell she hasn't been in movie that is worth a damn yet.
