Get Him to The Greek - 5/10
Damn this was dissapointing. This movie was hyped up a decent amount and I really didn't think it was very good. There were a few funny parts here and there, but overall I thought it kinda sucked. The characters weren't very good and the plot was stupid. Too many songs too. I wish I didn't waste my time with this one.
Ghost World 9/10 - Wow... I can't believe I've never seen this movie. I saw Reservoir Dogs over the weekend (again) and I started looking for more Steve Buscemi movies. I noticed that Buscemi starred in this movie called "Ghost World", so I decided to rent it. This movie is a true gem. The performances by Thora Birch and Buscemi made this movie. Scarlett Johannson was in the movie as well, but she didn't shine as much as Birch. The story is very unique and truly entertaining.

The Town - 8.8/10
Lol, they could have easily just called this Heat 2 or Heat(2010). Affleck doesn't seem to attempt to mislead and clearly shows many similarities to 1995 michael mann suspense flick. But Heat is awesome, and The Town is pretty good also. The action is good, story is good, dialogue is witty and funny in the few places it tries to be. Acting is alright, not great. I didn't like the women characters that much.
Could have rated it a 9 if it wasn't such a copy of Heat
Metropolis (Robot Angel or Metoroporisu) - 7/10: This is sort of the Japanese anime version of the original 1920's sci-fi film of the same name, though this movie focuses more on the actual robotic female creation than all of the political strife, which almost feels secondary here, though of course she is a catalyst for a lot of it. Anyway, the animation style was a little odd to start, it almost felt like I was watching a Ralph Bakshi film, but I got used to it and some of the shots later on were actually quite amazing (the fish on the wall behind the superintendent's desk was quite stunning) and by the end I thought it looked pretty damn great. The story was ok, with some of it a bit convoluted unconvincing, but I liked it quite a bit and I enjoyed the Tima-Kenichi relationship (whenever Tima said his name it put a smile on my face). One of the more enjoyable anime experiences I've had.

Yeah Metropolis is great. The apocalyptic ending to the tune of I can't stop loving you is really neat![]()
Definitely a great ending, I liked that part quite a bit. The animation style was kind of odd in how some stuff like the backgrounds and landscapes looked amazing while the characters were sort of strange looking.
Anyway, pretty cool overall.

The original Movie is great. Haven't seen the Anime version.
affleck was good in this. I still need to see gone baby gone, I'm just never in the mood to watch it
