Transformers AGAIN!!! I don't know if a movie will ever give me goosebumps like when Optimus Prime first transformed. Sometime I pull out the DVD just to see that!!
 
Eastern Promises with Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen this was a enjoyable movie kept me glued to my seat for the whole way through. Story advances nicely without feeling forced like in some crime-drama movie this is definitely worth a watch or rent.
 
Juno - SUCH a good movie, I absolutely adore Ellen Page in this film. It's definitely not your typical angsty teen pregnancy movie, that's for sure. I loved the mix of comedy and sarcasm with the real issue of a teen girl being pregnant and giving the baby up for adoption. Great great movie.
 
Cloverfield. I enjoyed this movie but I do tend to like survival horror.
 
Oh yeah, I saw Cloverfield yesterday. I really liked it, aside from the motion sickness I got from watching it lol
 
I saw Aliens vs. Predator 2 in December and I was very disappointed! The action sequences were so sporadic you couldn't see the whole sequence just a Predator getting killed or an Alien dying. Not only that but the contrast was too dark that the details and the background along with the actors was poorly focused. The Predator-Alien hybrid was a bit of a joke lol they could have created something a little more convincing. And the ending left me going 'what the hell was the point of that!' lol.

The next two movies I saw from the Black Market lol.

American Gangster - Great movie!! It had its moments of violence but that was to be expected. I loved Denzel Washington in this film, even as a gangster. He was rather charming and very family oriented that you couldn't help but love him. I was rather bored with Russell Crowe though in this film, I felt like they could have chosen a stronger supporting actor. But hey, that's just my opinion. Nice storyline, it is based on a true story so just the look and feel are believable.

Why did I get married - This movie was slow in the beginning but after a good half an hour I was laughing my ass off!! Janet Jackson wasn't bad in this film but I loved the one chick who drinks often and pretty much says what she feels. Lots of funny lines and a nice plot as well.
 
Juno very enjoyable and pretty damn funny, i have new love for Ellen Page she made this movie.

Justice League The New Frontier haven't read the original TPB of New Frontier but this was a great movie really focused outside the trinity too.
 
The Invasion - I had read really bad reviews when this movie first came out, and people were dubbing it another Nicole Kidman remake flop....but I really enjoyed it! I never actually saw the original 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' so I can't compare the two, but I thought this movie was pretty cool and entertaining.
 
Juno -great but admittedly Ellen Page IS the movie. she is terrific!

American Gangster -I wanted to like this movie but it came off as just mediocre to me. there was not enough "gangster" for my tastes.

3:10 to Yuma - Now this is a movie. Bale and Crowe were excellent but Ben Foster really shines. HE is a good actor that I will keep my eye on. he never disappoints.
 
Well let's see...been watching a lot of new stuff lately.

Stardust - Excellent movie, of course anything by Neil Gaiman is excellent, so much so that my Mom went out and bought it the day she sent the copy we rented back into the mail and has been watching it non-stop.

Hairspray - A long time ago my friend, my Sister, my Mom and I watched the Ricki Lake incarnation of Hairspray...but in all truthfulness this version trumps that one completely and not only that but John Waters made a cameo! Of course he would, considering it was he who directed the previous incarnation.

Live Free or Die Hard - Great movie, the part with where the "White House" exploded freaked me out though. But it kept a good line of humour running through it...unlike the many other Action movies that have been gracing the Silver Screen recently.

Surf's Up - Interesting to say the least, never been into Surfing...or Penguins that much, but it was good overall.
 
The Weather Underground - a documentary on the group of the same name, i had to watch it for a class but i didn't expect it to be as enjoyable as it was. Never dry or stuffy it almost relayed a need for revolution.

Elvira Mistress of the Dark - i don't care i love this cult movie :)
 
I just saw Beowulf last night...it was okay but...I really don't know. I probably won't see it again, Grendel made me want to throw up all over my Cat though Beowulf's bastard child with Grendel's Mother was sorta kickass...I wish I could turn into a Dragon at will...but the fact that he looked like a Golden Silver Surfer was kinda...unoriginal...but at least he wasn't a giant rotting corpse like Grendel.

I also got to see Meet The Robinsons...that was a really, really good movie. A lot of time travel, a couple Alternate Futures (one having a subtle change to Future History and the other being a Universe ruled by the HAL 9000 wannabe DOR-15 or "Doris"), and that guy from Magnum P.I. was in it.

I also saw...believe it or not...Becoming Jane. However it was only because I was bored...and really it did not help in bringing me out of my boredom. I mean it was a good movie...but it is just not my slice of cake.

I am probably going to watch "Across the Universe" tonight...so after I see that I will edit this post to include my thoughts on it.
 
No Country for Old Men - this movie deserves all the praise thats was heaped on it. My only problem was for me the ending was incredibly unsatisfying, I felt like i was missing a sense at the end. Its well done, dark and oh so good.
 
I think it's a good movie in the sense that it's well made, BUT it's not one that I would want to watch again. Ditto Eastern Promises.
