Blades of GloryWhat a wonderful film. Uplifting. Chicken soup for the soul. It took my breath away. The feel good movie of the year. I feel the need to apologize once again to Will Ferrell for saying he can't carry a movie, because I know that I hurt his feelings and he has yet to forgive me.
Gagknee's grade: A-
The MessengersSomething my wife added to the queue, and I had never heard of it. A PG-13 rated horror flick? Oh, lordy.
But wait! It was a really decent haunted house story. A nice scary ghost story. Very not bad. To say that I was pleasantly surprised would be not incorrect. The acting wasn't the best and Dylan McDermott's dreamy blue eyes make me want to punch myself repeatedly in the nads, but hey it made me jump a few times, something The Hills Have Eyes 2 didn't do. I don't base my ratings on IMDB ratings, but I am very disappointed in its 5.2 rating there.
Gagknee's grade: B-
Snakes on a PlaneI'll admit I was dying for the scene where Samuel L. Jackon says, "I have had it with these emeffing snakes on this emeffing plane!" Of course, they made me wait until three quarters of the movie had passed, just like the teasers on E! News.
The funny thing about this movie is that I can't really tell how good it was or if I liked it. I didn't not like it, but was I astounded and astonished and riveted to the screen? Nah, not really. Mindless entertainment in its purest form.
Gagknee's grade: C+

Blades was a great movie, but you wouldn't catch me watching Snakes in a million years. As for Messengers, I'm just proud I made it through the whole thing and, amazingly enough, I haven't been affected at all by it. Maybe I'll graduate to a real horror movie now!
