This entire last week I have been feeling like total crap. I've taken all sorts of cold medicines, and allergy medicines; most of them making me really sleepy I have sat down to watch a few movies, but have fallen asleep within the first 20 minutes every time. I tried to watch
The Men Who Stare At Goats the other day and I was out by the 5 minute mark. On Saturday I was once again feeling lousy, so I layed down on the couch and started up
Son Of Rambow. There were definitely moments where I wanted to close my eyes, but I was able to stay awake through the entire film. I'm glad I did because I enjoyed the heck out of it. If I had to give it a score, which I don't... but I am going to anyway, I will give it an
8 out of 10.
I'd heard several good things last year about Two Lovers. I probably never would have gone out of my way to see it, but since it was on Netflix instant I queued it up. I proceeded to never watch it for months and months. I guess all the talk about Joaquin's new film finally gave me that extra push I needed to watch Two Lovers. I didn't think I was going to like it. I was in the mood for something lighter, and didn't expect the somber melancholy tone that prevailed from beginning to end. However, it was executed well and I found myself enjoying this film quite a bit. I'm glad I watched it. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It gets a 6 out of 10 from me. 
Going into Repo Men I really wanted to like it. I felt like it had an interesting premise, and a pretty reputable cast. I was looking forward to a solid action/sci-fi with a little more intellect. I quickly found out I was giving this film way too much credit. Repo Men turned out to be really disappointing. When I finish watching a film I never want to have the thought that I just ineffectively used the last 2 hours of my life. There were a few cool sequences that kept it from being a total waste. On my arbitrary scale Repo Men gets a 4 out of 10.
