You Don't Mess With The Zohan - It's not my first viewing but I didn't hate it nearly as much as the first time. Basic Sandler style although perhaps a little better put together than the bulk of his stuff. 1.5/5
Rapturepalooza - Okay, it was in the background but I enjoyed it as such. It's hard to rate because it was stupid and I really didn't watch it intently but for what I needed (something on while I worked) it was perfect. It's a Christian apocalypse comedy that probably never should have been made. For my purposes, it was a 4/5 but in reality probably less.
Cottage Country - You can tell I've been hunting for comedies to have on in the background.... This was actually pretty well done but lacked enough humour to make it worthwhile. 2.5/5
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil - I avoided this one until I realized Alan Tudyk was in it. Despite my disappointment with Labine in Cottage Country, I kept watching past the slow start and was thrilled. I laughed my way through this ridiculous movie and am very happy to have seen it. A spin on the college kids in rustic US. 4/5
Screwed: The Movie - It screams Indie flick and the audio of the main character was off for some reason (as though dubbed) and despite overall being weak, it was mildly entertaining. Yet another stereotypical movie about a guy who's lousy in bed but this time something magical alters things. 3/5
Existenz - One of my all time favourite reality-bending movies along with Thirteenth Floor. It makes Inception look like the Polka Dot Door. I find it brainy, well cast, well edited however with some B-style production values and it's a little gross. Existenze will always be a classic to me and what reality-benders should be. It doesn't colour code everything and hold your hand like Inception. Plus, Jennifer Jason Leigh. Trailer ruins the movie. 5/5
Then a couple documentaries:
Are All Men Pedophiles? - Touchy subject to be sure and likely nothing new to most but there were a few tidbits later on that were new to me. It was a little ignorant of Japanese culture but that's to be expected and it did talk about the double standard with women as well as how walled off men are from their own children nowadays. One point it made was, if you take women away from men, they'll look to other men. There was also a small amount of information on Ancient Greek culture but strangely nothing on the height of Liberal Rome/Republics. It "touches" a lot of hot button issues and not especially well, but also not terribly. It's one of the least biased documentaries I've seen (which isn't saying much). I may have fallen asleep through some of it. Meh. No rating. Perhaps worth chatting about though.
Tiny: A Story About Living Small - This stuff intrigues me but this particular documentary was very slow and tiresome. 2/5
