Dredd - 8.5/10
I watched this with low expectations and ended up loving it. If you're looking for a strong storyline, look elsewhere. If you want highly stylized violence, this is a masterpiece. Just what you would want a live-action graphic novel to look like.
I watched the Stallone version's trailer afterwards and it is so cringe-worthy.
I love skateboarding docs. You guys should see Stoked if you haven't already: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0271211/

All thius Dredd talk. OK, going to try to see it tonight. Not even on Blue Ray yet but people seem to have it in their hands. Interesting.
The Green Hornet - 6/10
I kind of liked it watching it... like a B-movie. Seems like they were trying to make a joke movie, and the best part of it was Christopher Waltz from Inglorious Bastards. Seth Rogen was fu*king annoying as hell. Kato I could stand. Wasn't until I finished watching it that I realized how irritating much of it was.
Killer Joe....
I can't give this a rating other than "WTF?!?!?"
Summary of the movie: Texas trailer trash does trailer trash things with Mathew McConaughey being tossed into the mix as a cool, casual psychopath killer/cop.
It's a movie of extremes. REAL extremes. The acting performances by McConaughey and Juno Temple were incredible. Temple in particular steals almost any scene she is in. Gershon is asked to do one of the most humiliating things you will ever see in one of the most uncomfortable scenes invovling a chicken drumstick.
Some reviewers have called this a "dark comedy" but I didn't really find much humor outside of the absurdity of how dumb a collection of people can really be and how many bad decisions they can make due to their collective inneptness.
It's a movie of some incredible performances mixed in with some incredibly uncomfortable violence & sexual violence and tossed into a shake and bag bag and dumped into a deep fryer.
I guess I know enough trailer trash that this movie was more reality than fiction, sadly.
I laughed my ass off. Probably my third or fourth favourite film of the year. :awe:

I thought this movie was great too.
