Just put on the Last King of Scotland. Loving the fact that yer man's parents have posh accents while he doesn't.

IMHO, Zooey is annoying and has never given the impression that there is anything going on behind those big cow eyes. Can't say that for her big sis.

Zooey's acting in 'The Happening' was bad enough to be worth the price of admission alone!

Splice and Date Night

terrible and surprising

Due Date.

During the first fifteen minutes it was quite "meh", then it just got better and better. Zack Galifianakis is awesome.

Predators - Spoiler alert!

Much better and more fun than I was expecting, certainly higher quality and more faithful than the Alien v Predator films. Although Brody was a bit miscast (seriously, Arnie in that role, back in the day? the bare-chested bit at the end?) the other characters were decent (shame Machete got killed off early) and Shane from The Shield was great and got all the best lines. It had that kind of 80s action movie vibe, where you don't really care about the gaps in the plot re the Dexter character or what the fuck Morpheus is doing in the film anyways, because there's a fucking Yazuka with a samurai sword!! and a Russian stereotype with a minigun!! and a Spanish girl pretending to be Israeli with one of those fucking cool sniper rifles you never see in films any more!! Thinking about it after the event, a lot of it was awful, but anyone thinking too deeply about Predator films shouldn't be watching them in the first place.

I was surprised at how little action was in it. I wasn't expecting so much dialogue. Overall, I thought it was meh.

Book of Eli

pretty good

Cape Fear (Scorcese one) - De Niro creeped the hell out of me.

Suck - Kind of interesting band/vampire movie that was a better idea than the way it was executed.

A Nightmare on Elm Street - funnier than it was scary. And the whole movie was a dream?

Urban Legend - Shit scream clone.

The Princess And The Frog

Damn good. Traditional animation is so much better than all the CG stuff we get nowadays.

Was babysitting today and the kid wanted to watch Furry Vengeance.

My God. What a fucking waste of film. It was somewhat tolerable in the first 5 minutes, but turned to total shit faster than you can say "Brendan Fraser". I don't think a movie has ever put me in a foul mood before, but the pure shittiness of Furry Vengeance has ENRAGED me. And they expect me to believe that it was actually made by adults.

same here. has its moments but in the end it's like it tries to be a-team meets the expendables and fails. mind you the a-team film was probably worse than the losers.

i loved the disney cartoons, although there are quality CGI movies coming out all the time. the problem is CGI also makes it easier for untalented/underfunded/plain stupid people to also release movies.
