So my experiment tomorrow is while I tivo the chiefs game, go see all these movies that are getting better than 3/5 on Netflix:
Sex Drive 3.8
Max Payne 3.2
Saw V 3.6
Zach and Miri 3.9
We will see how close it comes to those numbers when I see em.  |
OK got back. I find it hard to assign arbitrary numbers to movies so I make up my own rating system: (Iam weird)
5/5 - I will watch this movie whenever it comes on cable. good example is Shawshank Redemption
4/5 - A great go to movie if you are with a person that hasnt seen it. But you wont go out of your way to watch it by yourself
3/5 - An okay movie that you would see again if a person you are with wants to see it. Only if there is nothing else better they want to see.
2/5 - Not a horrible movie, but not good. you would give it another chance if someone twisted your arm.
1/5 - A real crapper. Under no circumstances would you ever watch this movie again and recomend to everyone not to see it.
So for the movies I saw:
Sex Drive - Didnt, stupid fandango doesnt put AM or PM in their listings and so the10:15 movie was at night not in the morning like I thought.
Max Payne- I thought this would be a supernatural detective movie, actually it is just a mediocre detective movie. Its saving grace was the awesome slow down action scenes. the supernatural stuff is only drug hallucinations. 3/5
Zach and Miri- I am shocked Smith won his arbitration against the MPAA. This has alot of sex in it. Also, I now want to pee in the butts of Katie Morgan (whose porn career actually started in similar fashion as Zach and Miri) and Elizabeth Banks. They both are incredibly hot in it. Only thing holding the movie back is a considerable slow down of the plot and laughs in the middle of the movie. Also see Dogma. 4/5
Saw 5 - Got the Saw franchise back on track. Cleaned up all the mess of Saw 4 and got back to what made the Saw movies fun: Traps with rules and twists. Lots of gore but a simple plot that made sense, compared to the convoluted steaming shit that was Saw 4. 4/5
BONUS :P
I netflixed Postal because I am a huge Zach Ward fan. (the brother from Titus) What a piece of shit. Uwe Boll strikes again.
1/5
