Cinematographic.

I”m going to do this again, without looking at the original list. Let’s see how they compare:

1. Brick
2. The Brothers Bloom
3. Sunshine
4. The Nines
5. Sleuth
6. Collateral
7. The Edge
8. In Bruges
9. Léon (The Professional)

I know a few have changed: The Brothers Bloom wasn’t out last time I made my list, and I don’t think In Bruges or Sleuth were on there last time. I know Man on Fire fell from grace, certainly not an easy choice, but some stuff had to go to make room for the films which have wormed their way into my life.

I haven’t reviewed a movie in a long, LONG time. Sorry about that.

I’ve seen quite a lot in the interim, just been busy. For that matter, I’ve seen a lot of movies, period. Probably too many.

I have a bad habit of going to see movies on their last night in theaters. That sense of urgency gets me, that, “oh no! I really should see this in theaters!”

That’s why I go to things like the Transformers movies. They’re terrible. We all know this. Even Michael Bay recently admitted the second one was awful. For this reason, they aren’t worth seeing unless it’s in a theater. The robots, explosions, and Megan Fox’s breasts might as well be 40 feet tall, or the movie has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

This thought process brought me to Battle: Los Angeles last night.

The worst movie I have seen in theaters in probably a decade.

The description I will give to you is the following: it’s like a 7th-grade play version of Black Hawk Down, except, because terrorism is a sensitive subject, they replaced the insurgents with aliens.

The dialogue is as bad, if not worse, than that in Battlefield: Earth (no relation, despite the word similarities and colon).

One- Line Review: You can see it, but I warned you.

Concensus: 12/100.
