I think your girlfriend slipped you a mickey. Terrible movie. The girl was hot tho. 4/10
There Will Be Blood - 9/10
Very good movie! Daniel Day-Lewis does an amazing job. If this movie doesn't win Best Actor and Best Picture I'll be surprised.

Didn't say it was good, just that it held my attention.
But she was hella thankful for getting to see it.

Are you sure it was the movie that was holding your attention?

Transformers - 6/10
Better than I thought it would be for a movie about kids toys. I have to say in parts it was pretty cheesy but the animation was very well done. The acting could have been a lot better but I'm sort of a Shia LeBeouf fan ever since I saw Even Stevens (yeah I watched Disney Channel so what) even though he has been in some corny films.

Kingdom of Heaven 7.5-8/10
I feel really lucky with the movies I've seen recently, I haven't expected much from them and yet they keep turning out really good! I'd heard that this one was overly-long and that Orlando Bloom wasn't very good in it (which I could totally believe), but I thought it was great. I loved the atmosphere, I thought Orlando's muted performance was perfect for the story and was exactly how it should be, and I just generally found it really really compelling.

I found that strangely erotic
Best sig and avvy combo EVER.
American Psycho - 7.5/10
Christian Bale must be the most versatile actor ever. Great film, though the debate at the end kind of pisses me off.
Did he commit the murders or not? I would most definitely say no, but many others say yes.
Are you sure it was the movie that was holding your attention?
God dammit, you two!
It's funny, the possibility of the murders all being in Bateman's mind never even occurred to me when I watched the film - and I've seen it two or three times. However, last time I saw it, the person I was watching it with came away with your interpretation, and we had an argument about it. Anyway, the truth, as copy/pasted from IMDB's FAQ...
The answer is that yes, Patrick Bateman did commit the murders. His peers (who often confused his identity with others anyway) were so shallow and focused on themselves that they didn't even notice.
Bret Easton Ellis, the author of the original book, argues that if none of the murders actually happened, that the entire point of the novel would be rendered moot. He has stated that the novel was intended to satirize the shallow, impersonal mindset of yuppie America in the late 1980s.
Director Mary Harron (in a Charlie Rose interview) and co-screenwriter Guinevere Turner (in the DVD commentary) have both stated explicitly that the murders were in fact real. They consider it a major failure of the film that viewers are confused by this point.

Donnie Darko - 9/10
Wow... What a trip. I think I'm understanding everything that happened in this film, even though its the sort of film that asks lots of questions, and doesn't answer any of them. Love the Gary Jules cover of Mad World at the end, its really powerful, and fits the film perfectly.

American Psycho
How do you explain how the apartment is completely clean when Patrick goes back and there are people looking to buy it?
???

Greed a major theme of the film. Paul Allen's apartment is worth a LOT of money. When the landlady discovered it full of carnage and bodies, she could have gone to the police, which would have resulted in the apartment being officially declared a murder scene, and the property value to plummet... But, like any sensible, conscienceless person would do, she disposed of all the evidence herself and got the apartment ready for the next high-paying tenant. When Bateman arrived at the apartment, you could tell she knew exactly what he was.
I've never heard anyone say that in the midst of the arguments on imdb forums. It's an ok theory, but I never suspected that the landlady knew that he was a murderer.
Another thing.
The end rampage did not happen. Right? It was just too farfetched. Blowing up cop cars with single pistol bullets, and just shooting everyone in site. The "Feed me a stray cat" displayed on the ATM was also in his head, so why couldn't the murders be? Also, if he was REALLY storing bodies in Paul's apartment, wouldn't the so called detective have discovered them, considering Paul was the center of a disappearance investigation? I'm sure the detective would be visiting Paul's place frequently. But I think the detective was in his head too. Why do we never see him at the end?
Someone on imdb also mentioned the pills he took. He tended to take them before the so called "murders" and his murders were always related to something he has seen on TV. I say they were hallucinogenic. As I remember he was watching some horror movie with a chainsaw. Then he was watching a 3-some porn, both of which he reenacted later in the movie. There's probably more that I'm missing, but you get the point.
So yeah, I'm pretty strong on the murders did not happen theory.
However, one of the more intelligent posts at imdb (I know, it rarely happens) suggest that the viewer was meant to be confused at the end, and that this debate was meant to happen. You see, we are left with the same confusion that Patrick Bateman was at the end, and we don't know what to think. For all intents and purposes, we become Patrick Bateman.

Gone Baby Gone -- 9.0
I'm terrible at rating movies but I enjoyed this one. I'm not very picky when it comes to movies. A 1-3 scale would work well for me where 1 means bad, 2 means okay, and 3 means good. On that scale this one gets a 3.
Nice atmosphere and story. The ending could probably be figured out if you try and work it out, but I rarely do that since I'm usually wrong when I try. The production was quite good; I jumped at a few of the gun shots because they rang out so loud and clean in my headphones (hooray for watching movies very late at night on a computer with Sennheisers).
Ben Affleck is a better director than he is an actor, IMO.
