The Fountain (2006)
Do you have something better to do? You better go do it
*DISCLAIMER: This review is by an average-Joe guy who has a certain set of tastes pertaining to entertainment and movies, and in no way should directly influence your viewing decision without prior extensive personal research regarding the topic.
SHORT AND SWEET: Normal movie go-ers stay away
LONG AND BITTER: If you're looking for a casual movie to enjoy with a couple buddies then please for the love of movies avert your eyes to a more relaxed movie. This movie will sail clear over your head without a spec of forgiveness. Normal movie enthusiasts will find it extremely difficult to pick up on the endless onslaught of parallelism and blatant endeavor for symbolism.
RATING: I give this movie a 2/10 because personally I don't have a Film Appreciation degree with a minor in Literature, as I imagine most people don't which made watching this movie more like figuring out a Chinese lock-box in a dark room than actually watching a movie. Therefore it was my utmost displeasure to have suffered through this movie. Much less talk about it
PERFECT FOR: Vain artsy types that like to subliminally flaunt their "knowledge" and ability of "extrospection".
Chernobyl Diaries (2012)
Have you seen "The Hills Have Eyes"? You will soon

SHORT AND SWEET: Good "cheap-thrill" movie, enjoy with a couple buddies (or girls), beer, chips, and salsa.
LONG AND BITTER: Don't expect much, this movie is good for a cheap fun thrill-ride that will keep you almost on the edge of your seat until the fun suspense is over and you are revealed the quite obvious and (dull) antagonist(s) is/are in the movie. Ample concept and ample execution however terribly and I mean TERRIBLY reminiscent of the popular "horror-gore" movie "The Hills Have Eyes" RATING: I feel 6/10 is just right, this movie isn't quite the caliber to be in the upper tier of movies but is too good to toss into the pedestrian or worse category.
PERFECT FOR: Normal movie-goers who don't mind a little predictability and in-authenticity
