Yeah. He's never really done all that much for me.

Yea, it was so formulaic, it was painful. I tried watching maybe 2 separate time on a very long flight and I just couldn't do it. Another movie that didn't need to be made.

Black Hawk Down

Compared to any other Ridley Scott movie, I've seen this one the most. The Somalis are portrayed as mindless animals and it has its other faults, but otherwise it's probably his most accessible film. It strikes a weird balance between a movie you take seriously and are able to enjoy as a popcorn flick as well. Solid entertainment all around.

Definitely. BHD can be (and deserves to) be re-watched many times!

I watched Big earlier, a classic 80s flick. Tom Hanks gives his usual great performance. The film is a gem, and fun all the way through.
8/10

Also I plan on watching every pixar film ever made. Any film that pixar pushes out is great, for all ages.

Not a movie but:
s04e01 of Breaking Bad - 8.5/10. Been waiting for the new season for so long.. I forgot most of what happened in the previous one lol. I still love the show, but it's starting to feel a bit formulaic. But I'm guessing they'll surprise us in many ways before long. The always do!

Inception, saw it in parts. First time I watched it I fell asleep, lol.

idk, it's filmed real well and has a bunch of cool ideas but it's kinda of a predictable story... 7.5/10???

Inception was a lot of things but i'd hardly say it was predictable...

Yes, I liked her a lot better in that movie than any others since. Daniel Craig would disagree...

Of course it was. What did you expect?
*******************************************

I watched Excalibur last night. The last time I saw it was about 15 years ago and I thought it was pretty good. This time though I just thought it was weird and dull.
6/10
If it wasn't for Merlin's character being so cool and the great acting by Nicol Williamson, I would give it only a 4/10.
The production was just horrible and aside from Merlin, the actors and characters overall sucked IMO.
