Start it up again
Boogeyman - Turned it off 15 minutes into the movie, so this is an incomplete review, but from what I saw of it, I give it a very reasonable rating.
0 stars out of ****
Batman Begins- Best Batman movie by far. Bale does a good job as Bruce Wayne, and Liam Neeson and Cillian Murphy are excellent as the villians. Interesting yet complicated plot keeps ones interest, and with a star-studded cast (Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy, Morgan Freeman) to keep it fun it does a nice job of telling the story (with excellent flashbacks) on how Wayne became Batman.
***1/2 out of ****

I actually was rooting for the Boogeyman to come out of the closet (or one of the many he was so paranoid about) and ravage him about to just end the movie. The movie relied on just these little jolts to scare you, didn't get me, I only got disturbed by when the dude accidently thinks he's sleeping with his courpsy mom! That would be awful!

I'm glad I remember like nothing from that movie. It was so painfully boring and bad

How can you say Shawn of the Dead was boring?
It was a great movie - and also very funny.

I thought shawn of the dead was pretty good too. Definetly not a great flick, but good mindless humor.

V for Vendetta- This movie i thought was very good, and possible the best movie of the year, the whole idea of this movie and what they talked about reminds me of the American society right now, and how this society could change to reflect the idea this movie points out. So good i would pay to watch it again in the theaters, and i don't usually do that.

Thanks, I write quite a few for my school paper. I just found Shaun of the Dead pretty boring, from what I saw of it, it just wasn't that funny, maybe it's one of the movies that it gets funnier as it goes along (I was about 40 minutes into it), I still have it (got it free from the library for a few days) so I might end up finishing it if I'm really bored, but probably wont.

Red Eye - Very interesting story involving Lisa (Rachel McAdams), a hotel desk manager, who catches the last flight in town in order to welcome a very important government official to her hotel. She picks the wrong person to sit next to however. Jackson (Cillian Murphy) is a trained assassin and has all the tools in place to kill this government official, he just needs Lisa to make the call to switch the rooms, however, its not as easy as it sounds. McAdams and Murphy are both excellent, and although it is short, it is still a very entertaining movie with a few twists along the way (but with a movie like this, no surprise there)

Redeye was meh. Not a movie I'd pay to see in theatres, though I did.

Dodgeball- Seen it before, but I watched it again today. It was moderately funny, definetly had its moments. Stiller held the whole thing together, Vaughn didn't really have any big laughs. Descent movie, pretty funny.

Haha, now that you put it that way, your right.
The only line I liked from Vince Vaughn in the movie was when he got out to the girl scout troop and as they cheered he says, "your adopted and your parents don't even love you".
I still liked Stiller's character, but yes your right, it was very similar to his Zoolander character as well.
