Michael & Liz are Bloggable

Since we ditched 20 movies today from our queue, I thought it only appropriate to post the movies and shows we watched in Feburary. It was a month full of terrible movies, most my reviews are really critical and negative. Only 2 4 star movies and no 5 star movies. It really was a lame month.

• Cop Out (2010) - 3 stars - Funny, but forgettable.
• Eat Pray Love (2010) - 3 stars - Experts were very critical of this movie, but it wasn't as terrible as people make it out to be. It was long and slightly boring at times, but for the most part it was enjoyable.
• From Paris With Love (2009) - 2 stars - John Travolta can't go from this movie to "Old Dogs" and expect both of them to be good.
• The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) - 3 stars - This was by far the worst Twilight movie. You should be disappointed if you liked the first 2.
• Killers (2010) - 3 stars - In casting for this movie, they should have chosen a serious guy who can act like he's goofy. Instead they went with Ashton Kutcher, who is naturally goofy and was bad at acting serious.
• Dinner for Schmucks (2010) - 3 stars - I really like Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, but this didn't live up to their normal high standard in comedies. I gave it 3 just because I still like them.
• Predators (2010) - 2 stars - The first predator movie was amazing because he moved around and hunted. They decided to go in a different direction for this, where the predators stood still and did very little hunting. Most grunted and moaned and set dumb traps.
• Crocodile Dundee (1986) - 3 stars - You can't help but like Crocodile Dundee, but this movie had NO plot. He hangs out in Australia and then hangs out in New York. That was about it. Where was the climax?
• The Burning Plain (2008) - 2 stars - A very downer of a movie, but I liked how they interwove the plots.
• Surrogates (2009) - 2 stars - Flat out silly movie. Was one of those movies I almost stopped.
• Billy Elliot (2000) - 3 stars - Liz liked this more than I did. The comical part was Mrs. Weasley was in it.
• Brooklyn's Finest (2009) - 3 stars - Average and forgettable.
• Daniel Tosh: Completely Serious (2007) - 4 stars - This guy is HILARIOUS. I really enjoyed this guy's stand-up comedy.
• This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006) - 3 stars - My opinion of the politics behind the rating system? Yes, it sounds like it's easier for big companies to get better ratings than independent films... but boo hoo. You make movies with nudity, foul language, and gore and stuff... don't be surprised if you are on the border of rated R and NC-17. If you want a PG rating, make a PG movie.
• Super High Me (2007) - 2 stars -Doug Benson's goal? See how it feels to smoke pot for 30 days. Surprise surprise, he enjoyed it and it changed nothing.
• Zach Galifianakis: Live (2006) - 2 stars - Zach is hilarious, and it doesn't even look like he ever tries to be funny. He's just naturally goofy.
• National Geographic: The Lord of the Rings (2001) - 3 stars - It was neat seeing how they compared the characters in the movie to historical figures of the world.
• Unknown (2011) - 4 stars - Saw this in the theater, it was a great movie, but reminded me a lot of Taken. Liam Neeson kicking butt in Europe. Also, Liam Neeson is AWESOME. 
• Real Genius (1985) - 2 stars - This was lent to us from our friends Penn & Mary Jo. It was kinda silly. It was definitely not made for adults. I can see how it would be that movie you loved when you were little.
