I, too, have an opinion

My name is Elizabeth and I'm probably at the movies right this very minute.

By Date

  1. Eat Pray Love

    Aug 31, 20100

    Definitely not as bad as I was expecting.

  2. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

    Aug 16, 20107

    In a Venn diagram where the intersection is “Scott Pilgrim is awesome”, this film and I are separate, non-overlapping circles.

  3. The Other Guys

    Aug 14, 20100

    I want Mark Wahlberg to do more comedy.

  4. Get Low

    Aug 7, 20100

    I love the smell of four decades’ worth of guilt in the morning.

  5. I Am Love

    Aug 3, 20100

    As Principal Scudworth says, it’s like eating in the private kitchen of a delightful Italian stereotype!

  6. Salt

    Jul 26, 20103

    Holy crap I love Cold War political intrigue!

  7. Predators

    Jul 22, 20102

    Lacks the original’s dated sense of cheesy action, and that’s not a good thing.

  8. Inception

    Jul 17, 201019

    I want to like this way more than I actually do.

  9. Despicable Me

    Jul 13, 20103

    You could do a lot worse at the theatre right now. That “worse” is called “The A-Team.”

  10. The Kids Are All Right

    Jul 12, 20100

    You’ll be shocked to know that this movie was merely all right.

  11. Knight and Day

    Jul 7, 20102

    Hey there, surprisingly enjoyable summer movie in a sea of blockbuster season crap!

  12. Cyrus

    Jul 6, 20100

    I have nothing witty to say except don’t bother. Which is not witty.

  13. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

    Jul 3, 201011

    A little less conversation, a little more action, please.

  14. The A-Team

    Jun 19, 20103

    Lacking the “fun” in the “silly and brainless fun” category.

  15. Toy Story 3

    Jun 18, 20104

    All in all, there are definitely worse movies playing right now.

  16. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

    Jun 15, 20106

    Why, oh why, is everything filled with rape?

  17. Agora

    Jun 11, 20104

    Learned ladies leave lasting legacies!

  18. Harry Brown

    Jun 8, 20101

    Super intense and I hope to never watch it again.

  19. Splice

    Jun 6, 20106

    “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” probably does not have a chapter on this.

  20. Sex and the City 2

    May 30, 20102

    Anakin Skywalker was right about sand: it’s coarse and rough and irritating, not unlike this movie.

  21. Iron Man 2

    May 28, 20103

    Unimpressive, most unimpressive.

  22. The Trotsky

    May 26, 20101

    Fellow comrades, get yourself to your closest limited-release theatre as soon as possible.

  23. Robin Hood

    May 17, 20102

    Swordfighting, yay; the rest of it, meh.

  24. War Games and the Man Who Stopped Them

    May 7, 20100

    Sorry, I can’t not love this subject matter.

  25. A Film Unfinished

    May 5, 20101

    I’m surprisingly underwhelmed by this.

  26. Marwencol

    May 4, 20100

    I don’t know whether to love or hate humanity after this.

  27. Disco and Atomic War

    May 2, 20100

    You should find a way to see this if you love cold war history.

  28. Dish: Women, Waitressing & the Art of Service

    May 1, 20100

    Doesn’t ask a lot of tough questions, but enjoyable nonetheless.

  29. Kick-Ass

    Apr 24, 20101

    This is the horrifically violent movie everyone is raving about?

  30. How To Train Your Dragon

    Apr 17, 20103

    Delightful and wonderful!

  31. Date Night

    Apr 13, 20101

    I’d see more movies featuring Fey and Carell as a comedy duo.

  32. Clash of the Titans

    Apr 5, 20105

    I think I would have been better off watching “Jason and the Argonauts”.

  33. Chloe

    Mar 30, 20103

    Only worth it if you’re interested in seeing Amanda Seyfried’s side boob a lot. Edgy!

  34. Alice in Wonderland

    Mar 24, 20105

    Wonderbland, more like.

  35. Repo Men

    Mar 23, 20100

    I’m inviting Jude Law to my next costume party.

  36. Green Zone

    Mar 21, 20102

    Paul Greengrass apparently attended Michael Bay’s “How To Blow Shit Up” summer camp last year.

  37. The Runaways

    Mar 19, 20104

    Don’t come here looking for Bella Swan and Jane the Volturi.

  38. Remember Me

    Mar 15, 20106

    A.K.A. How To Ruin A Movie In One Fell Swoop.

  39. Oscar Race 2010: Best Short Film, Animated

    Mar 5, 20105

    Animated shorts > live action shorts.

  40. Oscar Race 2010: Best Short Film, Live Action

    Mar 1, 20100

    Who likes short shorts? We like short shorts.

  41. Shutter Island

    Feb 20, 20102

    I’ll probably enjoy this more on repeat viewings because a) Leo, b) Marty, and c) Leo.

  42. The Godfather

    Feb 9, 20101

    Cross this one off my list, finally.

  43. Creation

    Feb 2, 20100

    I can’t think of any context in which I don’t like time-lapsed photography.

  44. Edge of Darkness

    Jan 31, 20105

    Mel, is this supposed to tide us over until your viking movie comes out?

  45. The Last Station

    Jan 26, 20100

    Mostly worth it for the performances, as the various award nominations would suggest.

  46. Crazy Heart

    Jan 21, 20101

    Too inoffensive to dislike and too predictable to love.

  47. The Book of Eli

    Jan 18, 20102

    The unintentional comedy hit of the new year!

  48. The Lovely Bones

    Jan 17, 20102

    Best summed up by Desmond and Molly Jones: ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on.

  49. The White Ribbon

    Jan 15, 20100

    As far as cautionary German tales for kids go, I’m sticking with Struwwelpeter.

  50. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

    Jan 3, 20100

    Patchy and problematic.

  51. It’s Complicated

    Jan 3, 20100

    A great example why anything that sounds like a Facebook update is not good material for a movie.

    I’m surprisingly underwhelmed by this.

  76. Repo Men

    March 23, 20100

    I’m inviting Jude Law to my next costume party.

  77. Green Zone

    March 21, 20102

    Paul Greengrass apparently attended Michael Bay’s “How To Blow Shit Up” summer camp last year.

  78. Creation

    February 2, 20100

    I can’t think of any context in which I don’t like time-lapsed photography.

  79. I Am Love

    August 3, 20100

    As Principal Scudworth says, it’s like eating in the private kitchen of a delightful Italian stereotype!

  80. Predators

    July 22, 20102

    Lacks the original’s dated sense of cheesy action, and that’s not a good thing.

  81. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

    July 3, 201011

    A little less conversation, a little more action, please.

  82. Splice

    June 6, 20106

    “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” probably does not have a chapter on this.

  83. Robin Hood

    May 17, 20102

    Swordfighting, yay; the rest of it, meh.

  84. Kick-Ass

    April 24, 20101

    This is the horrifically violent movie everyone is raving about?

  85. Clash of the Titans

    April 5, 20105

    I think I would have been better off watching “Jason and the Argonauts”.

  86. Alice in Wonderland

    March 24, 20105

    Wonderbland, more like.

  87. The White Ribbon

    January 15, 20100

    As far as cautionary German tales for kids go, I’m sticking with Struwwelpeter.

  88. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

    January 3, 20100

    Patchy and problematic.

  89. Cyrus

    July 6, 20100

    I have nothing witty to say except don’t bother. Which is not witty.

  90. Iron Man 2

    May 28, 20103

    Unimpressive, most unimpressive.

  91. Chloe

    March 30, 20103

    Only worth it if you’re interested in seeing Amanda Seyfried’s side boob a lot. Edgy!

  92. Remember Me

    March 15, 20106

    A.K.A. How To Ruin A Movie In One Fell Swoop.

  93. Edge of Darkness

    January 31, 20105

    Mel, is this supposed to tide us over until your viking movie comes out?

  94. It’s Complicated

    January 3, 20100

    A great example why anything that sounds like a Facebook update is not good material for a movie.

  95. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

    August 16, 20107

    In a Venn diagram where the intersection is “Scott Pilgrim is awesome”, this film and I are separate, non-overlapping circles.

  96. The A-Team

    June 19, 20103

    Lacking the “fun” in the “silly and brainless fun” category.

  97. Sex and the City 2

    May 30, 20102

    Anakin Skywalker was right about sand: it’s coarse and rough and irritating, not unlike this movie.

  98. The Book of Eli

    January 18, 20102

    The unintentional comedy hit of the new year!
