Social Network, TheSocial Network, The (2010)Aro Favourite
5 stars (Exceptional) The best film of 2010, this has everything I want. Excellent dialogue, characters, a distinct visual style, even the music is great, being a combination of a modern, interesting score, with various pop songs.
Alien ResurrectionAlien Resurrection (1997)
3 stars (Good Enough) The biggest return to the horror of the first movie, however this is more of a gore based horror than suspense based. Still well directed, and has some incredibly scary scenes, and the most disturbing monster the series has to offer.
School of RockSchool of Rock (2003)Aro Favourite
2 stars (Good Try) It succeeds in having genuine sentiment where many have failed, but is cliche ridden and Jack Black is at his worst.
Daddy Day CareDaddy Day Care (2003)
1 star (Turkey) Why do adults think children enjoy this? I didn't like it the first time and I didn't like it any of the many subsequent times. It's not funny at all.
Pacifier, ThePacifier, The (2004)
1 star (Turkey) I hate this movie. It tries too hard to be funny, and fails dismally. The ending is predictable (Homer Simpson guessed it in Colonel Homer), and it is too sentimental about irritating characters.
Cheaper by the Dozen 2Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005)
1 star (Turkey) It just gets worse and worse.
Cheaper by the DozenCheaper by the Dozen (2003)Recommended
2 stars (Good Try) The worst kind of family comedy, filled with "wacky" characters and "zany" situations.
FitzcarraldoFitzcarraldo (1982)Recommended
4 stars (Very Good) An incredibly amazing feat by Herzog, however the film surrounding it has many unnecessary scenes, losing the viewers interest. The ending is still good, and this may actually be one of Herzog's few heartwarming films.
My Best FiendMy Best Fiend (Mein Liebster Feind) (1999)Recommended
3 stars (Good Enough) This is interesting viewing, but feels rather one–sided. Herzog fluctuates between loving and hating Kinski, which is understandable, but no warning is given, and he acts cynically towards some interviewees who speak kindly of Kinski.
Aguirre, Wrath of GodAguirre, Wrath of God (1972)Aro Favourite
4 stars (Very Good)
