Batman: The Dark Knight Rises

Out of all the amazing Batman villans to choose from, I am severely disappointed that they went with Bane. His voice is so hard to understand and he is so hard to hate because, of course, his face is void of any expression. Honestly, it was a good movie: it just wasn't as epic as it was trying to be. Rating: Yellow Score: 80

The Amazing Spiderman

A much more likable Peter Parker and a high school romance that doesn't ooze with cheese. If the villain didn't look like he was wearing "the Mask" I would say this is a near perfect super hero movie! Rating: Green Score: 87

Snow White and the Huntsman

I've never hated a villan so much for having a hideous haircut! This movie has some cool use of mono-chromaticism and saturation for setting the mood, which is pretty dark throughout. You don't really find yourself cheering for Snow White, but the huntsman is pretty darn cool. Rating: Yellow Score: 65 (v)

The Double

This movie was pretty good for a Netflix instant stream. Which, of course, means it was barely worth watching. While it was unpredictable, it was just captivating enough to not turn off early. It also requires the common man a good 10 minutes afterward to talk through "what just happened?" Rating: Yellow Score: 51%

Gone

This movie is not a horror film. But it ends badly and There is nobody really likable or hateable in it. Score:50 Rating: yellow(l,v)

The Big Year

With a movie like this,that walks the line between boring and charming, it is up to the audience to decide on which side this falls. For me, I found it likable and quaint. But then again, I live birds and I can't complain about a family friendly Wilson/Black movie. Score: 78 Rating:Green

Bernie

An unfiltered, honest window in to the life of a podunk East Texas community. It is absolutely hilarious and mildy irreverent, but it found a way to trigger sincere self analysis. A bizarre window into human nature and man's duality. Jack Black was perfectly casted, and hits a home run in what I consider to be his first success in a serious role.
