Back!
Joshtarts is back. It's been too long, my friends.
And to kick things off, I am presenting my flickchart.com movie list after surpassing 10,000 ratings! I am quite proud of it. It is still not done (I doubt it will ever be done) and I saw Inception the day I finished it. Because I was still cleaning my brain off the floor, I didn't feel comfortable including it in my rankings just yet.
Without further adieu, my top 25 movie list: (click here for a full list)
1. Iron Man
2. The Princess Bride
3. The Empire Strikes Back
4. Donnie Darko
5. Forrest Gump
6. Fight Club
7. It's a Wonderful Life
8. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
9. Saving Private Ryan
10. Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark
11. Being John Malkovich
12. Back to the Future
13. Return of the Jedi
14. Aliens
15. Home Alone
16. A Beautiful Mind
17. Taken
18. The Sound of Music
19. The Bourne Identity
20. Shaun of the Dead
21. Apollo 13
22. First Blood
23. Casino Royale
24. Office Space
25. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Some Summer Movies...
I had a triple feature night last week. I saw Kung Fu Panda, The Incredible Hulk, and The Happening (in that order).
As sad as it sounds, I think I enjoyed Kung Fu Panda the best. It was funny and cute. It had that Pixar-appeal. You know, great for kids, but still entertaining for adults. The voices were great; lots of good, big name actors. Even though some of them didn't talk much (like Jackie Chan who said like two phrases), it still brought something forward for the movie. I recommend seeing the movie.
Now I would rank The Hulk second in this trio. [SPOILER] I liked the movie, but only because I kind of knew what to expect. Superhero-acting, over-the-top action and some dang ridiculous dialogue. The Hulk head was WAY too small, as well. But Edward Norton made a better Bruce and the intertwining of Iron Man at the end will hopefully make for a great combined superhero movie (one day).
The worst of the trio was The Happening. After seeing this movie, my suspicion that M. Night is on a slippery slide downward is confirmed. The movie was bizarre and it felt more like a Stephen King-based movie. There was no real catch like his other mind-benders. I mean, there might have been a catch except you never know what is going on AND you never find out! It was frustrating and it left me with a weird, unnerving feeling. Not like a curious, Donnie Darko unnerving feeling. This one was unpleasant. I do not recommend this movie to anyone.
