Rosemary's Baby
Just watched this for the first time.
I can imagine it might have been shocking in 1968 but frankly I just don't get why the film is so highly regarded. :?:
I found it boring and wanted 2 hours of my life back after watching it.

Click was pretty good
It was. It just wasn't a real... Adam Sandler movie?
It was a good movie. Just not typically what you expect. Wasn't a funny movie, really. If that makes any sense.
^ At least the second half wasn't a comedy.
Reign Over Me is another good one, but I guess you say that wasn't a real Adam Sandler movie either...

It was just a matter of time until Adam Sandler played either a woman, a fat person, or a fat woman.
Very few new releases make it into the rotation in Oct/Nov around my house but the wife tricked me into watching Bad Teacher, which was a total dud. :gag: So bad.
Her penance was to watch Laserblast, possibly the worst movie of the entire 70's...

True.
Well when people talk about Adam Sandler sucking for the past decade or so, they're talking about his "comedies", strictly. The things that made him.
I would give him Chuck and Larry though.
I read a quote recently that said "Adam Sandler is officially the new Tyler Perry". I lol'd.
Just got back from seeing Hugo. Looking for words to express it, I decided just to lift a paragraph from an online review:
Unfortunately, the rest of that review reveals too much; a great part of what made this story so fun for me was not knowing ANYTHING about it when I bought my our tickets. Be careful about reading reviews because so many of them blurt the mystery right the heck out.
Excellent imagery, an intriguing children's mystery and a moving denouement all performed by a stellar cast. A tad slow to develop, but I was pulled in enough to not notice that there were no opening credits.
8/10

We finally agree on a movie.
I stated that was the worst movie I remember seeing over the course of the past 10 years or so... Probably the worst since Master of Disguise (and I was only 12 when that came out).
Gave it a 0.1/10. Shame... I'm a Jason Segal fan.
My three most recent viewings:
Rise of the Planet of the Apes - 8.5/10
This was a couple months back... I was pretty iffy on it at first because that Wahlberg PotA movie was all sorts of turd. I kept hearing great things about it, so I gave it a shot. Really enjoyed it.
The Ides of March - 7/10
I honestly had no idea what this movie was about when I went to see it. The previews just made it look epic and literally didn't show what the movie was about at all. It had a great cast and overall was a solid movie IMO, but too political for my taste.
Kick-@ss - 8.5/10
Finally got around to seeing this after it's been in my instant queue for over 6 months. Loved it.

Three turds to avoid this fall season:
Bad Teacher (aka Bad Movie)
Horrible Bosses (aka Horrible Movie)
Change Up (aka Throw up)
I liked Rise of The Apes a lot. Too bad Caesar was the one monkey that really looked fake. It's amazing what different folks get out of movies. Watched it with my brother in law on a plane and I commented about how they alluded to many of the details of the original Apes movies (Mars mission gone awry etc) and he totally missed all of that...

I've only seen the first hour of Horrible Bosses and I thought it was pretty funny (liked the guy from Sunny in Philly), was watching it at a friend's place and had to go after the scene where they meet with Jamie Foxx's character... So unless it went completely downhill from there...
I was going to see A Dangerous Method last night with the girlfriend. Apparently it's a limited release and is only playing in New York and California. I hate living in the south...
How can you dislike Horrible Bosses? That blows my mind.
Muppets was great.

Disliked it because it was yet another lame formula comedy that offered nothing beyond the occasional chuckle.
