Knight and Day: If you've seen the last MI3 you've seen this. Has a MacGuffin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGuffin) to move the plot along (MI3 had The Rabbits Foot) this has the Zephyr (mega powered never die battery). It's entertaining enough. Script spoilers was Cameron Diaz's line wanting to have some really great sex (groan). Out of place in the plot, scenario, scene, etc. Would have been better off without it.

Eclipse: If you've seen the 1st two in the series you'll notice the difference in direction and slightly Darker feel to the flick. Camera angles are a little different. And if'n you've read the books in the series, this movie really motors along to keep up with the book so people not familiar with the book might think some things are odd (why is Alice and Jasper so welcomed at the Human table at lunch, why did Bella kiss Jacob). Rosalie tells her back story. Jasper tells his too. As does the Tribe Chief. Saw it back to back with Knight and Day and enjoyed it more than Knight and Day.

Okay Mister you were the last one I would have thought to be watching teen vampire movies.

That would be like me commenting on a romantic comedy.

green zone = predictable as the sun rise

shutter island = similar as above, but more boring

instead of a thumbs up/down, there should be an explosion count- explosion counts are pretty good way of rating the suck value of a film.

i wonder if there is a rating system somewhere that doesn't cater to the latest sleezeleases from hollywood.

itunes + instant rentals is pretty cool. problem is, all the movies SUCK, so there isn't even a point in removing the drm to save for later :)

Inception was pretty good.  Worth the ticket, just for the sound immersion. 
I'd see it again, if I hadn't already.

Romantic Comedy (AKA Chick Flick) = blech. I canNOT stand them. Don't watch them.

As for Twilight Eclipse being a Teen movie. I don't think of movies like that. I ignore the propaganda and watch it for what it is... an entertaining movie with some action sequences and some humor.

mister, your man card is hereby permanently revoked.  There is no appeals process, the only way to regain your man card is to nail 5 chicks in the same night or kick Chuck Norris's a$$.



Wolfman... what a farking waste of time :icon_confused:

Homer

What is Wolfman?

Book of Eli :  Post-apocalyptics are my favorite, but this one greatly disappointed me.   About 20 disappoints per minute.
Woke up with a migraine the next morning.

Valentines Day:  the chick flick with all the famous people.  Moody, depressing, lots of fashion, the tall guy from Punked, lots of flowers.  Jessica Alba's side-boob, if you like her.

Redbox movie about Georgia O'Keefe:  Very pretty actress and Doc from Back to the Future.  Some side-boob.  Mostly relationship drama.  Very little art history.

Defiance:  All the Jews in Belarus during the Holocaust apparently knew each other.  
Gave me a headache.  Apparently a true story.  Of suck.  

This, however... damn fine movie:

Wasn't that the one with the guy that plays Bond in the new Bond films?  Yeah, that was a pretty hokey movie.  I refuse to believe that the directors didn't take a farking TON of 'creative liberty' on that one...

I just watched Book of Eli over the weekend.  I took into account all the bad reviews so going in I was expecting a vaey bad movie.  It is amazing how lowering you expectations made the movie enjoyable.  I liked it but was glad I waited to for the DVD.

Inception: I'll be grabbing it when it comes out on DVD. Gave me a new appreciation for Leo as an actor. Thought the character Saito was familiar somehow. Wasn't played by Chow Yun-Fat from Pirates 3, but the same guy who played Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins - Ken Watanabe. Some debate about the end cause it leaves you guessing.

Salt: Left it open for a another movie. Jolie wasn't pouting annoyingly in this so I enjoyed her performance more. Very entertaining.
