Hey!
12 Angry Men - One of the greats. Just outside my top 50. 9/10
Kick-Ass - top 10 superhero movie. Great characters, awesome soundtrack, and fun action scenes. 8/10
Spectre - I don't really understand why so many people dislike this one, but loved Skyfall. I like both a lot. 8/10
Blazing Saddles - a funny Western parody. (I would have given Madeline Kahn supporting actress from your movies.) 7.5/10
The Descent - I was liking this one quite a bit until the stupid ending ruined it. It brought it down a full point for me. 6.5/10
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger - not among Woody's best, but I liked the story, the characters, and the performances. 7/10
Kick-Ass 2 - a very disappointing sequel. It has its moments though and as you said Jim Carrey is a highlight. 5/10
House of Cards - I love all 5 seasons pretty equally I'd say. Season 2 is actually probably my least favorite, but not by much.
First Time Viewings:
Bolt (2008, Byron Howard and Chris Williams)
This Disney film doesn't seem to be talked about very much. It's about a dog (John Travolta) that is the star of a popular Sci-Fi Action show, who believes his powers are real and embarks across country to save his co-star from what he thinks is a real threat. I liked the story, but I did feel the execution could have been a bit better. The voice cast does a good job and the film is fairly entertaining throughout, but it felt like something was missing.
6.5/10
The Princess and the Frog (2009, Ron Clements and John Musker)
This one is a spin on the classic Frog Prince story. I loved the hand drawn animation and it made me wish Disney would do films like that more often these days. it also features a strong villain, with some great voice work from Keith David. There are some fun characters in this one and many fun scenes throughout. I felt the story was a bit of a letdown though and most of the songs were pretty average. Not bad, but it needed work in some departments.
6.5/10
Winnie the Pooh (2011, Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall)
Just like The Princess and the Frog this one has beautiful hand drawn animation, which again I appreciated. This one is really short, so it never bores or anything. I just don't have the same love for these characters as other people do though, so it was just okay to me. It has its moments.
6/10
Wreck-It Ralph (2012, Rich Moore)
In this one a video game villain is tired of being the bad guy, so he sets out on a quest to become good, but his journey brings havoc to the whole arcade that he's from. This one is full of fun characters, terrific game designs, and I really liked the story. The voice cast did a great job and overall I found this to be a funny and entertaining film from Disney.
7.5/10
Frozen (2013, Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee)
I'm late to the party, but I finally saw it. Turns out, it's a pretty fun little film, though far from Disney's best. The songs are pretty good and I liked the story, but the characters are what really made the film for me. They were a lot of fun. I also loved a twist that came near the end and overall I enjoyed the film.
7/10
Big Hero 6 (2014, Don Hall and Chris Williams)
This is one of the animated Disney's films I had left to see that I was most looking forward to. While not bad, it ended up being a disappointment. Baymax was awesome, but I didn't care enough about the other characters and the story for the film to work for me.
6.5/10
Repeat Viewings:
Zodiac (2007, David Fincher)
This tense thriller was based on the true story of a San Francisco cartoonist that became an amateur detective obsessed with catching the Zodiac killer in the 60's and 70's. It features terrific direction from Fincher, strong performances, moody cinematography, great music choices, and a gripping story that is still fascinating to watch even after multiple viewings.
9/10
Nacho Libre (2006, Jared Hess)
This comedy is about a cook at a monastery that dreams of being a professional wrestler. I watched this many times when I was younger and always loved it. Watching it now after several years I recognize that it's pretty stupid, but due to the nostalgia I have for it, I still had fun. I don't enjoy it nearly as much as I used to, but it has memorable characters, memorable dialogue, and an awesome soundtrack.
7/10
The Mummy (1999, Stephen Sommers)
This remake of the 1932 film of the same name is one that I always loved as a kid. It's been probably at least 5 years since I last saw it, but it held up pretty well. A lot of the effects don't really hold up, but it has great sets, fun characters, and an enjoyable story with some good action scenes.
7.5/10
The Mummy Returns (2001, Stephen Sommers)
Just like the first one, I always really enjoyed this as a kid. Due to some nostalgia, I was still able to have fun with this one as well. Most of the effects in this one don't really hold up at all, but I think it has a solid storyline and most of the memorable characters from the first film are back. A pretty good sequel in my eyes.
7/10
The Scorpion King (2002, Chuck Russell)
This prequel/spinoff to The Mummy series focuses on a character introduced in the beginning of The Mummy Returns. One major problem is that in that movie he's portrayed as a villain, whereas here he is a hero. This inconsistency is annoying and I think keeping him a villain would have made for a more interesting movie. That aside, the film suffers from some poor effects, mostly forgettable characters, and an inconsistent tone. The action scenes are okay, but nothing too exciting and I just don't really care for the story all that much.
5/10
First Time TV Viewing:
House of Cards Season 5 (2017)
Another great season. The wait for next season is going to suck due to the way it ended.
