Battle: Los Angeles was ok - some pretty cool special effects, but it didn't blow me away the way I thought it might. Much better than Skyline, but a little disappointing nonetheless.

Scream 4

And being "meh" it was still the best horror/thriller movie I've seen in years and years.

Little Fockers, first movie I've ever seen through the cineplex.com/store, I had a bunch of "free downloadable movie" coupons so decided to try it. It's pretty much DVD quality movies on your computer, pretty cool. Movie was ok, wasn't anything special

Bad Teacher, I want to say it's good because there were some damn good funny parts and I like some of the people involved, but Ms. Diaz is awful and there was a lot of down time for a 90min movie. And it had the half-assed moral/message that crappy comedies always have. So... MEH.

Watched this the other night when I was moving and didnt have cable for a few days. The first movie Meet the parents was good and they should have never made the next two. Little Fockers is a MEH for sure.

The Dilemma and Hall Pass.

The Dilemma was built as a laugh-out-loud comedy during the previews, but it was more of a drama.

Hall Pass was just your basic comedy.

Wasn't crazy about Limitless - didn't have the ending I was hoping for - typical Hollywood schmaultz. But what really didn't sit well with me is showing kids that their might be a drug one day out there that could make everything so easy for you and take all the hard work, effort, and gumption out of what it takes to make a decent lifestyle for yourself. Things shouldn't be handed to you on a silver platter in the form of a little pill. Liked Bradley Cooper though, esp when he was in loser mode! Meh, overall.

Paul. Not great, expected more from Pegg and Frost. Such a great premise, but just wasn't as funny as it should have been.

Really thought Seth Rogen was miscast as the voice of the alien...just didn't work for me.

I really enjoyed it thought the whole thing was real funny and with a decent story line as well

2001: A Space Odyssey. I'm not a fan of Kubrick's work outside of The Shining. It was basically a 4-part story, with the 3rd being the best. Those close-ups of HAL were really cool. Other than that the movie was full of glory shots.

I dunno why you put this in the "Meh" thread. It's commonly known as one of the better movies of all time. It's safe to say it made my top 10-15 movies ever. I remember seeing this as a little kid, then watching it a few more times over the years and getting different meaning out of it. Interesting stuff. Plus, the "glory shots" like you said. Classic blend of music and visuals that will wake up an ArtFag in all of us.
