I loved it - a different kind of sci-fi. For all you Philip K. Dick fans out there, here's another one for your keeper shelf. :)

Bounty Killer
Bounty Killer (2013)

Not exactly a 'thinker' movie- but the blood is so over the top it's good for a few laughs. Entertaining enough for what it is, but one to watch and pass on.

Camille [Blu-ray]
Camille [Blu-ray] (2009)
Actors: Sienna Miller, James Franco, David Carradine
Release Year: 2009

It had potential, but way too many negative aspects to pull through as a decent movie. At just below par, it's not the worst movie in the world, but I won't be recommending it to any friends. That being said, I thought James Franco was solid, but even that wasn't enough to save the movie.

We saw a trailer a while back and thought it looked neat, but it turned out to be an absolutely horrible movie. The acting was so poor that we almost turned it off just five minutes in. I guess we should have followed our instincts and saved ourselves the next 85 minutes of pointlessness.

It's funny, not in a laugh-out-loud kind of way, but more quirky and going to put a smile on your face. Ok for a quick series.

Bor-ing! ..Suspense? Uh, not really. My wife and I were calling out quotes and the next 'reveal' during the movie. The only good thing- it's a short movie and we didn't lose too much of lives on this one. Save yourself- deny the transaction when I post this stinker into the system! :)

Booooring. I can definitely appreciate films that have beautiful cinematography, but I couldn't keep from checking the clock to see how much longer they were going to drag out some of those scenes. I love the ideas, but this should have been a 15 minute short. Oh, and the wife actually fell asleep during this one. ouch.

I had heard other negative reviews from some acquaintances, but decided to give it a try anyway. If you'd like to watch a beautifully crafted film about humanity, love, and friendship, this is the ticket. This went right to my keeper shelf. :)

Our Town
Our Town (2004)
Actor: William Holden; Martha Scott
Release Year: 2004
Date: 2/20/2013 6:55 ET

This may be an excellent film, but I wouldn't know because I couldn't stand to watch the movie. Absolutely horrible quality - dollar store movies are better. I've seen a movie or two and this is one of the worst transfers I've ever seen. I'm not even going to post my movie into the system- it's that bad.

Wow, what a disappointment. The plot has such potential to tell a dramatic (if uncomfortable) story, but most of the acting and dialogue are so terrible that it's nearly impossible to get swept away. The 7.0 IMDB rating and rave reviews led me to believe that this would be something much better than it was.
