Gone Baby Gone was a heavy duty movie. The actors had this real life look to them. Ben Affleck should stay directing.

Im going to watch the Planet Earth HD-DVDs this weekend. Im looking forward to that.
 
The last movie i watched is "Transformer".It is a good movie that i have seen recently.
 
Leatherheads. It was great. I was excited that Stephen Root was in it (He was Jimmy James on News Radio teehee). And George Cloony and John Krasinsky... yummy ;)
 
Atonement - This movie was not exactly what I thought it was going to be. The commercials deceived the audience, at least in my opinion. Your lead to believe this is a 'romance film' but there are other elements involved. It was difficult to understand the dialogue in parts because of the London accent. But, I liked the twisted plot line but I felt like this movie dragged on. I felt like this was a three hour film instead of two hours. I think they could have done more. I found the ending to be bittersweet as well.

Sweeny Todd - I knew this movie would be dark, gothic, and morbid because it's a Tim Burton film. I was drawn to the movie from the beginning and I thought the musical aspect was unique. However, being an avid fan of the horror genre I was disappointed in the realism of the blood. It looked like fruit punch, which made it lose a sense of realism for me. As the movie progressed I was disappointed more and more by the twists and turns. I really detested the ending. I was left feeling unfulfilled and a bit like "okayy." Another movie that was bittersweet. It had a lot of potential but I was disappointed with Tim's vision with this.
 
I just watched the old Robin Williams flick Bicentennial Man, I like it alot. Its incredible to watch the journey to being a person. It always reminds me of this idea from a philosophy class i had "a Soul is not a gift from god but a goal to be sought with labor and humility."
 
Saw IV - As usual this series is disturbingly grotesque and filled with large quantities of gore. Needless to say I wasn't squeamish when I watched it. If anything I was intrigued by the director's approach. Revealing Jigsaw's past and how he came to be. It connected nicely and there were a few twists and turns I liked. But, I think they really should have stopped this movie at the third. Judging from the ending there will be another Saw film. I liked it though even though it was filled with blood and gore lol. Jigsaw is probably one of the most clever villain's besides Hannibal in Silence of the Lambs.

Just friends - I loved this film and I couldn't help but crack up. I laughed so hard I actually snorted, which is a rare occurrence. Lots of funny lines and a cute plot line. I'd buy this film on DVD and I cracked up on the gag reel section under the Special Features LOL.
 
Cloverfield - Now you either love or hate this movie.....and I totally loved it! I thought the whole 'Blair Witch' aspect of it made it seem more realisitc and left me on the edge of my seat and various parts [although a bit dizzy sometimes too lol]. I loved the creature and how in the movie it really didn't explain how it came to be in NYC. The only thing I really didn't like about the movie was the first 15 minutes seemed to drag on. It was to introduce the characters and what not, but at one point I was like, enough already...get to the good stuff lol.

ET - I adore this movie, so when I saw it on TV the other night I immediately turned it on. It's just a movie that brings back memories of my childhood and how I used to hid under the diningroom table of my grandparents apartment and cry because I didn't want ET to leave LOL. Needless to say, even now I still cry when I watch it. ;) Great movie and definitely one of my favorite Steven Spielberg films.
 
Iron Man - finally went to see this with friends, I think this maybe the best comic adaptation movie so far. Excellent characterization and just beautiful FX that made the armor look like it could be real. It laid the groundwork for the squeal and hopefully the Mandarin too. The bit with everyone's favorite Colonel was absolutely mind blowing just to see.
 
I agree. I would say Iron Man is right on par with Batman Begins for best comic adaptation up to date. Robert Downey Jr managed to pull off Tony Stark quite well and Gwyneth Paltrow was stunning as Pepper Potts. I cant wait to see Terrance Howard in the War Machine suit if possible in the next film, should be fun.
 
Saw Speed Racer today, its not as good as Iron Man was. To be honest it was mind blowingly great. It was a descent popcorn movie with a lot of flashy visuals. If you're not a fan of the old show my advice don't bother. If you are you're going to go no matter what so check it out.
 
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystals Skulls - I don't care Harrison Ford can be 60-70 he can still do action movies. This was a good movie captured the feel of the old ones, not quiet as good. This is a definite summer popcorn flick you should see.
 
The Cronical of Narnia: Prince Caspian - I actually saw this last week and forgot to comment on it, but the movie was so good! There was a lot more action in it than the first, and I read some places that people didn't like it was much as the first one, but I thought they were equally fantastic. I definitely suggest this as a go see movie. :)

What Woman Want - I was just watching it on TBS and I forgot how good it was. Although I don't look at Mel Gibson the same as I used to...due to obvious reasons, lol, I still think he's great in this film.
 
I saw In Bruges last night in Portland - so so funny. HIGH-larious. I totally recommend it. It's a black comedy I guess, but it's so light-hearted and funny for a while and then BLAM they hit you with the dark side of it. It's really cool.

:)
 
Narnia - I just loved the movie.
here is the review : sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/05/14/DDIS10M921.DTL
 
Definitely, Maybe - A REALLY cute movie. Well, I saw it because Ryan Reynolds is in it, and he's hot and has great comedic timing, so I figured I'd like it no matter what... but it actually turned out to be a really great movie despite the fact that he never took his shirt off. ;)

I know, I know.... I'm a horny celebslut. :rolleyes:

As always, Rachel Weisz is charming, but this movie really had me warming up to Isla Fisher too... She was a real trip in Wedding Crashers and she did really well in this movie as well!

Anyway, it's a great romantic comedy, very engrossing and it's fun to try and figure out who the girl's mom is.

Alright did a double feature today
Incredible Hulk - IT WAS . . . . . . .meh. It had a few good moments but it wasn't anything oh god mindblowing. Set up for the Leader and the Avengers movie but other than that it was average. Better than the X-movies less than the Spider-man series.

Stargate: Continuum - if you are a fan of the show this is it. The final wrap up to the SG-1 part of the franchise. Great movie good looks and made for fans of the series, if new to SG don't bother. This i think is also the beginning of the transformation of SG into one of the bigger Sci-fi franchises. I image at some point in the future that we will be seeing this series more and more like Star Trek with the 7th Stargate movie lol.

Caught Hancock too - not bad could be better. my biggest compliant is that its a little unsure of itself. Its like a different movie half way through, Its like they have 2 scripts and decided to rush through them both.

The Dark Knight - In-freakin-sane! Best comic movie i've seen and by far the best Batman movie ever made. Heath Ledger's portrayal as The Joker so far surpassed Jack Nicholson's it's not even funny. He MADE that movie. SOOOOOOOO AWESOME! Nuff Said!
