Whats the bare list good for, it tells me nothing except title? You should write a few words about synopsis or why do you think they are good or at least mention a Genre.

used this list, skipped the ones already mentioned before, added a few comments:

2 Guns

denzel & wahlberg in an unbelievable/tedious and rather pointless thriller

This is the End

outrageously bad/tasteless/talentless 'comedy', skipped it soon enough

we are the Millers

skipped after i saw the cast/plot

the last stand

disastrous, arnold & knoxville (playing the jackass ofc) in a pathetic excuse of an action thriller (b-movie level)

The Wolverine

from pretty bad up to average, wolverine incompetent/dumb beyond belief, so far no good standalone movies with this character

The Hangover Part III

so unfunny, possibly the worst part so far (though i didn't particularly like any of them), skipped it soon enough

The heat

ugh, another tasteless 'comedy', skipped it soon enough

The Lone Ranger

depp in another weirdo role, the movie was a joke, juvenile & cheap in just about every aspect

The Great Gatsby

yawn^3, dicaprio 'chewing the scenery', trying to remember how once upon a time he did his howard hughes role

Riddick

the worst part so far, awful dialogue, no excitement, recycled material, lame cgi pet nonsense

Elysium

average, stiff (jodie's face too), unbelievable, dumb-and-dumber plot (the good: nice elysium shots, merc gadgets)

The Conjuring

extremely boring 'we hear noises' psychological thriller, skipped it soon enough

I just watched Rush and it's pretty good movie! I liked it!

1. 12 Years a Slave
2. Book Thief

Watched both these movies over the weekend. 12 Years a Slave is really good (great acting) and Book Thief is good.

Watched it! And I agree with you! Cast is actually really good, but everything else is just forgettable!

Im just gona comment on Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods
I love DB DBZ DBGT, I can understand why some were critical of DBGT and I think it was because their was a lack of build up
And its the same with this movie Battle of Gods
Its just like a couple who are very familiar with each other and knew each other for many many years. No foreplay and straight to the sex.

I too was a bit let down with the movie.
BUT! If DB was to create another series I would be first to buy the discs

I miss the times when I was a kid and just relaxed on couch and watch DB & DBZ

wait a minute mister, what happened to try before you (even consider) buying?
imo, a new DB series would probably end up barely watchable, light years away from the 2 original ones, especially in the current age (of lesser filmmaking)

While not a movie, DBK was imho a lot better than DBZ, despite being exactly the same story. Sad they cancelled it.. Looked forward to a new episode every week :(

Thats why the term fanboy was created

True although essentially the same scenes, however, after watching and rewatching the whole DB saga series I decided to watch DBK and to tell the truth I liked the US TV translation rather than the Japanese literal especially when considering the character of Goku. However, all the innuendo and so forth for Roshi was better than the US TV version.

Couldn't agree more. Goku's voice was horrible :(

gotta catch that nasty fanboi impulse and shout: you shall not pass!

seems there's no need to substitute the original with a sub-par recut version (even if it occasionally manages to get it right):

Goku's voice was horrible

it was just....weird, merely listening to (any of) their voices was another level of funny in the show

The original is so slow though :/ You need to skip 3 episodes every episode you watch

I agree about japanes voices! English voices are much better, which is really strange since I dislike watching dubbed anime. I always prefer japanes, but not in this case!
