I saw Wanted tonight. It was a lot better than I thought it would be with some good action scenes and plenty of people getting killed. Unfortunately no frontel nude shots of Jolie but you get a nice back shot in the movie.

I'd be more interested in seeing Angelina in this if she didn't look like a skin-wrapped skeleton in this movie. :-b


I saw The Hammer couple nights ago. Like treat said, movie was better than the crap Hollywood claims as comedy. Interesting to find out that Carolla used to be a boxer, because his training scenes were pretty realistic. His jump roping parts were hilarious. Also watched Meet Bill. Decent dramedy with a mid-life crisis storyline. Sad to report that even with a small bit role, Jessica Alba still cannot act.
The cake is a lie.

I've seen a few movies lately

Witless Protection - Really, they should stop giving Larry the Cable Guy starring roles in movies. There's maybe two lines tops that are funny from him. Hell, Eric Roberts is the funniest person in the movie!

Jumper - Just really boring. There were some nice visual effects, but Hayden Christensen just has no charisma to me.

Definitely, Maybe - Is it bad the best movie I've seen lately has been a chick flick? It's not anything super, but has a solid cast (Isla Fisher, Ryan Reynolds, etc.) and kept me interested.

Shake Hands With the Devil - Canadian movie, true story of Canadian General Romeo Dallaire, in charge of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Rwanda during the massacre there and how he disobeyed orders and risked his career, his sanity and his life to try and stop the carnage against overwhelming odds, while the rest of the world turned a blind eye to the genocide taking place there. Based on his book by the same title. Very powerful story and very graphic in it's portrayal of the violence that occurre there. Incredible story, well worth seeing.

Just got finished watching In Bruges starring Colin Farell, Ralph Fiennes and Brendan Gleeson. It's about two hitmen hiding out in the Belgium town of Bruges. I thought it was great and definitely one of the best movies I've seen this year. It struck a balance between comedy, violence and drama. I'll definitely be buying this one. ;-D

9.5/10 (A)

Just got back from seeing Hancock. It didn't blow me away, but it was a very solid, good movie. It varied from the typical cliched rags to riches type stories enough. It wasn't amazing, but it was worth seeing. I'd say that if you wait for it to come out on DVD you won't miss anything though.

7.5/10

10,000 B.C. - Ugh. Couldn't get into it at all. The trailer looked awesome, but they basically put all of the action scenes in the trailer. The rest of the movie was just really boring. Also, the ending sucked. 4/10.

Live Free or Die Hard - Not bad, but not good either. There were a lot of cool action scenes in it, but a lot of the stuff was just WAY over the top. Kept me interested though. 7/10.

I actually saw Wall-E the other day. :-b

Nice animated Flick. As far as the Pixar films go, it can't touch Toy Story or Monsters, Inc., but it would probably go third on the list. :-b

What about "A Bug's Life"

Better than that?

like joel I have toy story and monsters inc. as 1 and 2... the order flops with my mood. I feel there is a small drop there. they own tier 1. Can't wait to see wall-e :-)
