Whore of the Rings 2 - 10/15/14 - 6/10
Lord of the G-Strings - 10/28/14 - 3/10
Another porn iteration of LotR. This one rated far lower by virtue of being boring softcore biz. Bad writing, acting and humour isn't much of a substitute for the real thing. Still, I guess there was an ounce of effort put into it (the music in particular was nice-------what can I say, I'm a sucker for sitar) and the ladies were quite attractive, even if they didn't really do anything terribly interesting. (Not to sound like some kind of porn snob, but "girlies kissing on each other and rubbing each others' tummies" is a little tame, as it goes.)
Maybe Peter Jackson should consider putting more ladies in the altogether in his next sh*tty Tolkien trilogy. Like it could hurt.

Movies 84/30
Italic/bold - First time viewing
Yellow - Watched in theaters (in 2014)
John Wick - 7.5/10
Zoolander - 6/10
Interstellar - 9/10
Interstellar wasn't perfect, it definitely had some pacing issues and didn't need to be anywhere near as long as it was. I still enjoyed it, it just wasn't quite the new 2001: A Space Odyssey that I wanted it to be.

If it seems like I'm giving out a lot of super high ratings, all the movies with a dash in front are movies I've already seen and am rewatching because I love them, and a lot of the others tend to be movies that are held in super high esteem anyway that I just happen to agree with.
That being said, giving five films I've never seen before A+ ratings (12 Angry Men, Last Hurrah for Chivalry, Why Don't You Plan in Hell, Nobody's Daughter Haewon, and Poetry) still seems a bit high, especially considering that three of them came out within the past five years.

If it seems like I'm giving out a lot of super high ratings, all the movies with a dash in front are movies I've already seen and am rewatching because I love them, and a lot of the others tend to be movies that are held in super high esteem anyway that I just happen to agree with.
That being said, giving five films I've never seen before A+ ratings (12 Angry Men, Last Hurrah for Chivalry, Why Don't You Plan in Hell, Nobody's Daughter Haewon, and Poetry) still seems a bit high, especially considering that three of them came out within the past five years.
