-V/H/S : good as a shock/joke movie, not very good as an horror movie
-the prince and the pauper(a.k.a. crossed swords)(1977) : very good surprise an excellent swashbuckler movie from 1977.
-The assassination bureau (1969) : I watched it only for diana Rigg, a bit boring.
-robocop(2014) : pointless and boring remake
-snow Piercer : I don't like korean movies, they lack the soul from japanese or chinese movies and are the equivalent of fast-food cinema. This is another example.
-anguish(1987) : a Giallo from spain, very interesting meta elements.
-pandorum : it looks like an action movie made in the 90s, not bad but not very original either
-dredd (2012) : not bad as an action movie but the political/social commentary is completely lost and that fact is more scary than the content of the movie itself
-A history of violence : very good from a cinematographical point of view, not everybody will like this movie but it's interesting if you like to study cronenberg's style
-The assassination of Jessie james etc : interesting movie, good cinematography and the main actor is rather good
-Gangster squad : a mish mash of several famous preexisting movies, but without the talent unfortunately. Not bad as an action movie, but when compared to the movies it copies, it's not very good.

I'm doing this more for myself to keep track of all the crap I watch...

BAD :
the invasion(2007): wow, this was really bad
burt wonderstone : steve carell still not funny

AVERAGE :
witness(1985):Ambitious, almost pretentious, and not really that great, didn't age very well.
the wolverine(2013): well made but the marvel movies are really getting redundant
howard's end: another piece of aristocracy indoctrination from the uk, rather pointless
cyborg(1989): One of the early Van-Damme movies that started a whole generation of straigth to DVD karate crap, nothing good about it, but the 80s post-apocalyptic settings are so retro and baroque, it becomes art.
copland
theatre of blood(1973): watched it for diana rigg, slightly above the average britsploitation


GOOD :
lock-out:
Totally assumed cheesyness and Joseph gilgun
swordsmen (a.k.a wuxia) (2011): my favorite of the list. Modern chinese kung fu movies have become extremely boring, but this movie manages to remain interesting by toning down the fights and being rather well acted. Among my top 5 wuxia movies (IMDB page)

BAD
Apollo 18 : what a fucking waste of time
straw dogs(1971) : your typical 1970s' violence porn. Fuck those baby boomers.
the bay : Wow, this is the worst "found footage" I've seen so far, I found it difficult to focus for even 30 seconds on the movie. Even worse than Blair witch 2.

AVERAGE:
The other guys : I was expecting to be disappointed by some mainstream dreg, but it was okay. Satisfyingly entertaining.
In bruges : Completely overhyped, just as I suspected. I really don't get what's the attract of the brit-gangster genre.


GOOD
After Dark, My Sweet : interesting product of the early 90s.
Django : the plot could have used some subtelty and the gunfighting parts are less briliant than in the spaghetti western that inspired it, but it's saved by some great show-stealing supporting actors.
Miller's crossing : a good mix of realism and cartoony 1920s setting for this cohen movie

Godzilla (the latest one with malcolm's dad):
It was like watching someone playing a fucking videogame.
americlap bro spends the whole movie pointing a gun at the world, keeps accidentally stumbling in the middle of the most dramatic events and surviving miraculously, encountring a few NPCs on the way. All punctuated by cinematics of monsters that never actualy interact with the characters.
Wife keeps waiting for him while making scared faces, and greets him at the end.
Millenials will love this.

Ant Man
I found it pretty good. Slow to start but the action is good and it's legitimately fun. It's more fun than it is boring, I can't say that much for any of the avenger/iron man movies.

Just before the movie, I saw a trailer for the star wars movie and all I could think of is "why?". It's sad, it's probably going to be worse than the prequels, because despite being bad, the prequels were at least trying to tell a new story, not just rehashing nostalgia like this one

Movies I watched in the last few months:

-Dark skies : totally lame
-Dracula Untold : very redundant dracushit
-43 ronins : good for a kid maybe
-world's end : another movie where simon pegg spends the whole movie running and looking like an idiot
-The phantom(1996) : I think it missed a little something to make this a good movie, but it's ultimately rather bad. Except that there is a pretty cool nature panorama in the last 5 minutes of the movie, it's really pretty, and doesn't redeem the movie, but it makes you regret the whole movie didn't choose a more artistic direction.
-rocketeer : a couple notches above the phantom but still not a classic
-Prince avalanche : this movie is so indie it shits 1980s raybans
-Ballroom dancing : a weird australian version of a 1980s dance movie, some good dancing if you're into this.
-Time bandits: one of the rare monty python movies that isn't ruined by 1970s vulgarity, not bad
-the conversation(1974): interesting thriller from the 70s

THE ANOMALY:

this movie got a lot of bad criticism and I don't really know why. The movie exploits a gimmick but it does it pretty well and manages to be captivating all the way to the end.
I am pretty jaded when it comes to sci fi stories and yet I did enjoy the movie without any second thoughts.
There are some problems, like the fact the the movie has too many scenes of hand to hand combat and the actors really suck at it, an the happy ending scene feels very forced, but I'd still recommend it.
