11-20

11. The Golden Compass (2007) - 01/07/09 - HBO:
Not as bad as the catholic Church would make you think but what the fuck do they know about movies?

12. Righteous Kill (2008) - 01/07/09 - Blu - Ray:
If I were to tell you that Al Pacino and Robert Deniro were going to partner up for a crime thriller would you not want to be the first person in line at your local cineplex to catch this momentous occasion? There is no way this movie can be bad...right?....RIGHT?!?!? Oh it's bad. It's worse than bad. This movie takes a hot, steaming wet shit on the legacy of the two aforementioned acting icons. They both just phone in the performance and my dog can write a better story. One of the worst movies I've seen in a looong long time. 0/5

13. Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars (1973) - 01/08/09 - Paladium HD:
Great concert documentary. David Bowie is the man. 4/5

14. Gran Torino (2008) - 01/08/09 - DVD:
Clint Eastwood is back to his old, bad-ass, racist self which makes this one worth watching. Now all you have to do is get through the AWFUL supporting cast (I'm looking at you Father Janovich!). People who know me might say that I hate him because he's Irish...and to them I say YOU ARE CORRECT! I FUCKING HATE IRISH PEOPLE! I DON'T CARE THAT YOU LOVE TO DRINK OR YOUR FAVORITE FOOD IS FUCKING SHEPHERD'S PIE! SHAMROCK TATOOS AREN'T EVEN FUCKING COOL!!!! IT'S LIKE SAYING YOU HAVE BARBED WIRE OR A GODDAMN BUTTERFLY! SHA SHAR SHA SHAR SHA SHAR! Clint Eastwood - 4/5; Everything Else - 0/5

15. The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) - 01/08/09 - Blu - Ray:
I guess now is the time to come out of the closet with my religious beliefs. Basically, I don't have any. To each his own. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T TRY TO FORCE THAT SHIT DOWN MY THROAT! So on that note....I did not like this movie. 2/5

16. On Deadly Ground (1994) - 01/09/09 - Showtime:
Second Seagal film on my list and it's a damn good one too. Great appearances by Michael Caine (the scene with the reindeer is hilarious), John C. McGinnley, and a husky Billy Bob Thornton. Solid action movie with the most ridiculous final speech ever, given by Seagal himself. If you haven't become hip to the GREEN movement, this movie should teach you all you need to know. 3/5

17. Southland Tales (2007) - 01/09/09 - Blu-Ray:
Visually stunning and great acting by some not-so-great actors. It's a who's who of washed up 90's actors. Seriously, it's like Richard Kelly only watched comedies from the late 90's to cast this flick. The only flaw is that I still have no fucking clue what the hell went down during that movie....none.....2.5/5

18.The Ruins (2008) - 01/11/09 - Blu -Ray:
or as I like to call it...The Descent only WAY shittier. 1/5

19. Cat Dancers (2007) - 01/12/09 - HBO:
Wow.....just wow.....if you see any documentary this year it HAS to be this. One of the weirdest stories I've ever heard. 4/5

20. The Edge (1997) - 01/12/09 - Fox movie Channel:
We here at The Great Movie Blog have a special place in our heart for this movie. It stars non-other than that gruff, furry faced thespian who's been in classic after classic and never fails to deliver. No....not Anthony Hopkins. The real star of this movie is BART THE BEAR. Man can that bear ACT! The story isn't bad either and it's one of the few Mammet movies I enjoy. I know, blasphemy, but he's a pretentious douche. 4/5
