Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - 2.0
Star Trek - 2.5 (I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like it's been dumbed-down and designed for the masses)
The Terminator - 3.5

Ghost of Girlfriends Past - 2 Stars - James has never rated a Matthew Mcconaughey rom-com below 2. Could this be the first film to have that honor? I don't think so.

Star Trek - 3.5 stars - If the buzz and the trekkies are true.

Terminator - 3 Stars - I have never read anything that indicates James think very highly of this film.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past 1.5
Star Trek 3 (I get the feeling that JB doesn't think too highly of J.J. Abrams' style; he gave up on Lost and granted MI3 2.5 stars)
Terminator 3

So JB hasn't posted his first review up yet and nobody has said anything so I'll assume it's not too late for me to put up my predictions.

Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past - ** 1/2
Star Trek - ***
Terminator - *** 1/2

Star Trek has my gears turning. A previous post alludes to critic buzz but the trailer leaves some to be desired. I'm skeptical that the sleak 'n sexy Trek will meet expectations. Then again...

G.G.P - * 1/2

Star Trek - ** 1/2

Terminator - ***

TERMINATOR (1984) -- 3.5 - is it just movie or was the trailer uncomfortably like the dark knight? the score was similar, the motorbike effects seemed the same. even the lead. and that doesn't help. :)


I think James is reviewing the 1984 original starring Arnold, not the Christian Bale one. 3.5 stars is still a pretty good guess for the old one though. Sorry if you were being really sarcastic.

Just imagine if ilovemovies hadn't gotten their vote in. This week's competition would be over.

Wow. Who could possibly forsee this get 2.5 stars?! I thought I was being generous with two. Then again, considering James has always been kind to Christmas Carol adaptations, maybe I should've seen this coming.

I might be blinded by my love and adoration for all things Jennifer Garner, but I actually don't think the movie looks bad. I actually think it looks alright. Plus, Michael Douglas being in it doesn't hurt either.

Plus, didn't JB give How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days the same rating? I figured, there is NO WAY this movie could be worst than that one.

And to think, I almost was going to go with 3 stars out of wishful thinking. So glad I went with my gut for the 2.5 stars rating.
