I watched Amelia tonight. I fell asleep during the middle part.
I like both Hillary Swank and Richard Gere but this movie was a sleeper!

Just watched (500) Days of Summer. Not bad. There were parts which I thought were wonderful and parts that were meh. Touted as a "quirky romantic comedy" and starting out telling the audience "this is NOT a love story" I was pleasantly surprised that it was not the typical boy-meets-girl story.

There were some really clever parts.

Inglorioius Basterds.

Worst movie I've seen in a looong time.

I like Reservoir dogs and think Pulp Fiction is genius, Kill Bill is over stylized and full of movie nerd in jokes, but quite good.

But this totally jumped the shark, I thought I could see what he was going for long quiet increasingly tense scenes with a violent ending. But the the scenes were poor, didn't build tension and once or twice is great, but over and over again totally over egged the pudding.

Oscar nominated, top 250 on IMDB, did I just not get it somehow, or is the Emperors new clothes.

Saw V on Showtime

Kick Ass kicked ass. I expected a fun flick, but this was a real movie.

jinx · 04-17-2010, 09:13 PM

Cool, I wanna see that.

DanaC · 04-18-2010, 05:44 AM

Really wanna see Kickass!

Last night I finally got around to watching RunFatboy Run (with Simon Pegg). A pleasant little romcom. Liked it a lot.

The night before I watched 'Satanic' lol loved it. Intriguing enough plot to keep me interested but lots of cheddar. I love a good cheesy horror flick.

GunMaster357 · 04-27-2010, 11:15 AM

These past weeks, I've seen Sherlock Holmes, Kick Ass, and Dragons.

Tomorrow, it's Iron Man 2 opening in France.

At home, I saw for the fourth maybe fifth time a wonderful film: "Pan's Labyrinth".

DanaC · 04-27-2010, 12:32 PM

Loved Pan's Labyrinth. Can't decide whether or not to watch Holmes ... I like everybody in it, but the whole thing just looks too Hollywood swashbuckler with added explosions and chase scenes; not what I think of when I think of Holmes.

Happy Monkey · 04-27-2010, 12:37 PM

"The Losers" was a decent mindless action flick. Fun heroes, super-goofy villains.

DanaC · 04-27-2010, 12:40 PM

Oh, I really wanna see the Losers.

I downloaded Glorious 39 as an itunes rental, but haven't got around to watching it yet. Might do that tonight.

It's not "Sherlock Holmes". It's "Sherlock Holmes: Action Hero". Don't expect the the cool mental exercises from the books. I didn't like it.

I thought it was Sperlock Holmes

GunMaster357 · 05-04-2010, 05:04 AM

Last week, I saw IronMan 2.

I staid till the end of the movie. The biggest fun fun for me was that there were maybe 50 or more people in the theater all asking what was the meaning of the f.... hammer !

I saw the new Elm Street, not as good as the original but worth a matinee.
