The Reader - 7/10

Bonus Point for Kate Winslet getting nekkid.
Interesting movie. However, there is one scene, that had
the chance to become a great dialogue between the two of them, when he
wants to visit her in jail during the trial, but he chooses not to. Too bad.

Defiance - 8/10

The fact that this is based on a true story makes the movie quite awesome.

Benjamin Button - 9/10

It is a slow movie, but I really liked it. Makes you think how fast time goes by
and what you do with your time...

Hooligans: 7.5-8/10

Sous Le Sable. The story of a woman's denial of her husband's death, wonderfully acted out by Charlotte Rampling, continually walking the line between conviction and uncertainty. A lot of well-used silence and some exceptionally beautiful visuals. 8/10

Ricky. Three people, members of a family, from a French workers' quarter seeking to get away from their lives as they are, and in the end, managing to do just that by coming together and overcoming their higher ambitions. Or: life is bleak, let's make the best of it. Or: something else entirely. The fantastic (as in "not real") theme of the movie never seems to fit, never really seems to connect to the other (and in my opinion, stronger) theme of social criticism. I didn't enjoy it much. 6/10

Eldorado. Rural Belgium seems full of strange characters. A somewhat different and unusual road movie telling the tale of a man facing, and eventually coming to terms with his past, another man not managing to do so, and several other losers at life. Some scenes have their lengths, but as I found it, not inappropriately so. Lovely, with great shots of the countryside and always an underlying bitter kind of humour - a film not for everyone, but for me. An objective 7/10 - but more like a 8/10 for me.

Harry Potter and the whatever who cares: 7/10

The pacing was surprisingly good with this one, but the writing was not. Dumbledore said "I bet you're wondering why I..." about a dozen times. No, dumbledore, no one is really that interested. Also, if Snape doesn't turn out to have REALLY been working with dumbledore the whole time, I'll donate my testicles to science. They sure were clever on that one...

Actually, it wasn't that bad, but it was pretty damned stupid. The acting was decent, however and the effects were pretty sweet.

Yeah, that's what i didn't like about it, the dialogue was weak, I don't know if it was just how the actors where delivering their lines or if it was just a bad script, but i felt it could of been a lot better, they where dealing with very dark and dramatic stuff, I think they could of made the movie more powerful, I just wasn't feeling it.

I've never taught the young actors where good anyway, though Emma is quite hot.

I saw this recently and forgot to rate it myself.

7/10 Harry Potter and the Irrelevant Prince's book.

I've always assumed the purpose of "The Half Blood Prince"'s potion book in this book was to trick us into thinking harry had stumbled onto another Voldemort artifact but i don't think anyone falls for it, it just comes across as a bit irrelevant despite the kiss he gets out of it and the sight of the "room of requirement" that becomes pertinent in the near future.

Anyway, the film! I enjoyed watching it, they missed out some large chunks which i think is why Dumbledore comes across as a little irritating. If i recall there were scenes involving Voldemorts earlier years and an explanation for the hiding place seen at the end and it takes him ages to get to the point which, doesn't happen in the film so much. Also weren't the skeletal horses meant to be in this one and Snape's cruel private sessions with Harry? I think the movie could've done with more Snape screen time to justify the title to be honest.

I came out of it satisfied but a tiny bit bored, there was some nice CGI but certain things made standard in previous films felt absent, not half as many portraits were moving for example and i don't recall any whimsical ghosts despite one being prevalent in the near future and clever camera wizardry. I'm still impressed by the sweeping shot through the mirror in the Prisoner of Azkhaban film i think.

Of the Potter films I've actually seen, only one that stands out in my mind is the third one.

Never read the books.

I only read the last two books after the last film came out just out of curiosity... i've still not seen the first film and the others are rather hit and miss with me to be honest.

Tom Selleck battling robots.

1/1
Wouldn't buy it, though.

Ice Age : Dawn of the Dinosaurs. - 7.5/10

The movie was good fun. Quite entertaining and did have some more 'adult' humor to it. Visuals were great, as always.

Machinegun girl: wth/10

One absurd, weird movie. The violence became so surrealistic (not to mention of what happened to the people she shot to pieces...), it became eh...."enjoyable". I mean, at given times I couldn't stop laughing. Strange movie.

The Haunting of Conneticut- 3/10

Boring. Way over cliche'd. And NOT based on actual events (however according to the movie it is)

Sudden violin screetch at sight of "ghost": Check
Blurry mirrors and or windows with "ghosts" pop up: Check
Haunted house, so lets take a shower: Check
.5 second "ghost" view when someone walks by but doesn't notice: Check
I'm seeing things but I'll keep it to myself as not to act crazy: Check

Well, it seems we have almost everything for a ghost/haunted movie. So lets make one!

Public Enemies: 5/10

It was a gangster/bank-robber movie, with 2/3 of its duration consumed by touchy-feely dialogue. I don't sympathize with the gangster, or his freeloading girlfriend. You can't make me sad when he dies. You can't make me sad when she's sad. You just can't make me care overall, so it needed more car chases, etc...

Burn After Reading 7/10

It was ok.. that's about it.

Catch Me If You Can - 6.5 - 7/10

After watching the spectacular Blood Diamond (for the 3rd time) this was not even close. It was good but waaaay too long and never really picked up the pace.

Blood Diamond on the other hand, 9/10 easy.

Wanted 8/10

I thought it was pretty bad ass.


I just regret that my surround sound system is still not online, waiting for parts to show up. If I had that on this movie would have been a lot more fun.
