You shut up! Oh and btw, a lot of people have been telling me that Tangled is really good. But NOOOOOO just because SOMEONE watched a crappy Russian bootleg, he already wrote off that movie...

Thank you and well done!



Not trying to be condescending or anything here...honest injun!

Well I'd normally go the route of "The Guard can suck my big, fat, hairy, non existent ****!" but my attention is elsewhere right now....

LOL BoobyTrap, i thoroughly enjoyed your review of the Guard. I will not see it.

Disappointing. Starts off great, cowboys, steampunk-y ww2 motorcycle riding street gangs, a samoan tribesman with a war-hammer, a Japanese popstar like villain who vamps it up to the nth degree...what's not to like. Add in a treasure map and a pretty good action sequence on a moving train and you would think it's a slam dunk. But then you get a minor course in Korean history, the red army, action sequences that have very little life despite some epic scale, plot devices that come and go...trying to do too much instead of just doing a simple concept REALLY well. File this under couldawoodashoulda.

Aww, I love that movie.

Watched this last night while BoobyTrap was sleeping. For some reason that I can't really explain I don't like Julia Stiles at all, but I like Paddy Considine enough that I DVRed this as soon as I saw his name on it. After having watched it, really, being a Paddy Considine fan is the only thing that made this movie worthwhile for me. It's not a bad movie. It's an interesting story/idea. A man going through a divorce meets a woman in an eerie, creepy sort of way and they start a weird sort of relationship. And then the woman's ex boyfriend disappears and everyone thinks the man did it.

My main issue with the movie was people doing things that didn't make a whole lot of sense. You can kind of brush it off and just suspend your disbelief, but it happens more than once, and at pivotal points in the movie, making it a little harder to ignore. There are some good bits and pieces, though, and Paddy Considine's character is weird, but compelling and his performance really anchors the whole thing. A lesser actor and this movie is completely forgettable. As it is, though, I recommend it only if you're a fan of his. If not, then you may as well pass on it.

Strange film about a schizophrenic man trying to reunite with his daughter who was given away for adoption. Interesting enough.



It did resemble 2001 a bit, but eventually goes into a different direction. Good.



Pretty funny all around.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Thought it was a pretty entertaining movie, worth a watch. Not very fond of the CG apes though.
