Southland Tales. It was cool, and The Rock wasn't all "aargh!" or anything. It was quite long too. I'd say (subjectively) 7/10 or 3-4 stars, or something.

Hell yes. I have absolutely no interest in wrestling but this film easily ranks up there with the greatest movies of all time. It's not even focused on wrestling that much, but rather the downfall of his life. Depressing stuff, but soooo good. My friend said it reminded him of Requiem for a Dream, and sure enough, I looked it up and it's from the same director. Better than The Dark Knight if you ask me.

Wait, if you're here then that means...
RocknRolla - 6.5/10, pretty good overall but nowhere near Snatch or Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Tom Wilkinson played his role perfectly though.
Taken - 8/10, as much as I like Liam Neeson. I still can't rate it higher, there wasn't really a lot of depth in the story. But acting was great nontheless.

It had premiere in the US 2 days ago. It's up for download (dvdrip quality) if you don't want to spend money on it.
Nah not for that movie I will see a Matinee.
Terminator - 8/10
That stop motion chase scene still freaks me out.

I absolutly hated this movie.... for a few reasons.
For starters, the movie (hah, big suprise here) was not true to the book. Characters where misplaced in wrong towns, and a whole pile of characters, including very important ones, were left out of the movie.
The movie also seemed to be stuck in "Leap Frog" mode. Everything just suddenly advanced on to the next thing, without explanation, or hardly any dialouge.
I was warned not to watch this movie, by people who have read the books and have already suffered through this Hour and a Half long piece o crap, but I didn't listen, and watched it anyways.
Thanksfully, I read the book before I watched the movie. It probably would have ruined it for me, and I would have never picked up that first copy of the book.

I honestly don't know which part pissed me off more. When Brom killed the Ra'Zac, or when Murtagh said "**** yeah dude, we'll go to the Varden, I know the way, lol!"

Fixed.
Although mechanically well-enough constructed (no mean feat give the author was 15 or 16 when he wrote it), the books are hugely derivative.
I always felt that the tag-line for the movie should have been,
"Jeremy Irons IS Obi-Wan"
I just finished reading Brisingr a week ago. Great books, but yea the movie was crap.
It needed to be a 3 hour long epic like LOTR, but it was made into a happy-ending kids movie. If Some of the descriptions of the fighting in the book were duplicated exactly into the movie it would have recieved an R rating.
They didn't even give Arya elf ears!
What's up with all the French movies "A coucher dehors" no one herd about? You from France?

Seven Pounds 3/10
It's the kind of movie that spends 2 hours trying to convince you that it's good all the while making no effort to actually be good. And the fractured narration fails terribly at masking the laughably bad screenplay. Avoid this movie, no matter how much you like Will Smith.

No, and except for that short movie I wouldn't really call them unknown. I'm on a bit of a Godard trip right now, hence the accumulation of French movies.
Pierrot Le Fou. I didn't enjoy this as much as the other movies, and I'm still not even sure why: the acting (a great Belmondo and Karina) is brilliant once again, the directing and plot has probably even more experimental elements and besides that, it's also produced much better than the films that came before. Even though, it has not quite clicked for me (yet?). 7/10
Kitchen Stories. This was cute. Besides the obvious stereotype that Scandinavian movies just have to have very slow pacing, everything seemed very likeable: the lovely characters and their laconic ways, the depressingly somber scenery, the occasional stabs at the two nations portrayed and the little absurdities. Not for everyone, but for every lover of dark comedies. 8/10
Last movie I saw was The Uninvited
I thought it was pretty good, the older daughter is an attractive girl, the story was good and the end was like wtf

Battlestar Galactica: Miniseries and First Season - 8/10
I was probably the most skeptical guy on Earth about this one. Before I watched this DVD set, I had caught a few bits when my brother was watching it some years back. It's one of those shows you just can't walk into a room and watch unless you've seen it from the beginning. Most shows have this way about them where you can catch one episode and get the gist of everything. But not this.
This is the first sci-fi show I've really enjoyed since...well, X-Files. The documentary-style of it really gives it something other contemporary sci-fi lacks. It's very realistic and has rounded characters that are actually people and not the generic stock of "individuals" this genre is stuck with (see SG-1 or a number of other shows). There's no glamor in these space sets. No beauty shots (aside from the babes, which every sci-fi show has to have on general principle or there would be no fanbase). Just a handful of survivors trying to live with whatever they have left. Even the antagonists are interesting. These Cylons are more ****ed up than the humans they are trying to hunt down.
I especially like the relationships in this show...and that's something I'm almost unanimously flippant about when it comes to Television series. In particular, the two ongoing human/cylon couples are engaging as heck to watch, especially the Number5/Gaius Balter thing.
The Season 1 cliffhanger was a really great "holy crap!" moment. I've already ordered Season 2. I hope this show doesn't jump the shark.
