Aside from Forrest Gump, I actually went onto watch three other movies yesterday. I guess that I was just in that kind-of a mood.
Cars 2:
I think that we can all pretty well guess that this movie wasn't up to the high-standards that Pixar has been known for, at least for me. I loved Toy Story, Bug's Life, Monster's Inc, and a lot of their other movies, and I moderately enjoyed Cars for its great animation albeit average story. This movie just really didn't have a lot to offer. I realize that it made a lot of money and it also maintained a lot of the animation that I enjoyed, but the story felt so campy and unthoughtful that it really felt more like a TV animated movie. And not a good TV animated movie like Lion King 2, (which I liked) but something along the lines of Open Season 2. (I didn't even like the first one.) The movie doesn't focus around Lightning much whatsoever in favor of Mater, who is an acquired taste that I don't have. 3.0/10.0
Desperado:
From the gifted-mind of Robert Rodriguez comes the sequel to the beloved El Mariachi, which ... I have not seen. I couldn't find it, and I didn't think that the stories had much continuity with them. I will watch it down the line along with Once Upon a Time in the West, but I can't be bothered right now. Anyway, Robert Rodriguez, known for this series, along with Sin City and Spy Kids amongst other things. I thought that the first three Spy Kids movies were entertaining, especially whenever I was a kid. And I hear good things about Sin City, he also did one of the ****** Grindhouse movies and the Machete sequels that followed. So, maybe I was a little hasty when I said that he was gifted. The movie stars Antonio Banderas, who is somebody that I enjoy in small doses. The movie wasn't anything amazing, but it has some humorous moments, I liked Quinton Tarrantino's cameo in the movie, but the story itself never really clicked on an emotional level. Although, maybe that has something to do with the fact that I haven't seen the first one. 6.0/10.0
This is one of the movies that I always knew would be good, but never got around to watching, however, I must say that I never expected it to be THAT good. I mean, Jesus Christ, the movie was almost three-hours long and I was hooked from the beginning to the end. Samuel L. Jackson, perhaps, did the performance of his career, while Bruce Willis and John Travolta were no slouches at all whatsoever. I loved how the story never went in one particular direction, it didn't seem to have any long-term message except for being entertaining. And then, the end happened, and I actually found myself going ape-**** nuts for Jackson's speech at the end. Just a very good movie, probably the best that I have watched this year so far. 8.5/10.0
The Amazing Spider-Man
I hoped this won't happen but it did,only thing good in this movie is creation of "parents mystery",I guess it is a decent start of series,it was boring most of the time,best scenes were at Oscorp,part 2 will probably be a lot better,I mean from the trailer it looks like they took best parts of this movie and done them better,and ofc more of them,best part of this movie for me is that mystery,everything else was just basic.Decant movie,second one will probably be a lot better.
VERDICT: 6.5/10
I liked it, although, for me, it's only about a seven, I liked the chemistry between Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield. I also like that Peter Parker felt like a new character and not a rehash of what we saw in the Sam Raimi trilogy. I, too, expect for the sequel to be much better.

I loved the movie. One of 2013's best with incredible performances by McConaughey, Leto, and Jennifer Garner.
