Skyfall (8/10) - One of the most enjoyable James Bond experiences I've had. The character of Bond wasn't explored nearly as much in the past. Older Bond movies were more superhero-ish, but Craig's Bond has been closer to what I think Fleming's intention was: a sociopath killer who happens to be on the good side.
Looper (9/10) - A great concept, and overall executed rather well. JGL was fantastic (though his makeup was a little distracting at times) and Jeff Daniels (short though his screentime was) is always awesome. Bruce Willis was just Bruce Willis. Really fun movie.
The Expendables 2 (6/10) - As far as I can tell, the entire movie was made just so we could finally see the dream fight (disappointing as it was) between Sly and JCVD. Still, I knew exactly what to expect, and was not disappointed, nor surprised.
Total Recall (3/10) - The reboot. Original still gets a solid 7.5. This one was awful. Bryan Cranston phoned in his performance, but he was still the best part of the movie. Colin Farrell should stick to dark, offbeat comedies.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (10/10) - My favorite movie of all time. I have more fun watching this movie than any other. The chemistry between Ford and Connery is gold, the plot is interesting, and the action scenes still stack up favorably against any modern movie.
