Watched Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, it was excellent.  About two brothers, Ethan Hawke and Philip Hoffman, who try to pull of a diamond store heist.

Pathfinder. Karl Urban fights Vikings who look just like Warhammer style Warriors of Chaos. There's a LOL moment when the stoopid Indians fial at fieldcraft, and there are some nice shots. Not a good movie.

I liked the Sami version better.

I had the misfortune to watch it in the theater.

I've surfed it twice, always managed to catch the shieldboarding scene, flipped it right off.

The Crazies (Remake)

I ambled down to my local neighbourhood theatre (the one  I can get into for free.) with my boss last night, and we watched the Crazies remake. It was pretty decent scare wise. I enjoyed more than my boss who is a horror aficionado. I only like horror if it's really a good film. Which is rare.

This one had a decent pace, but lacked the relentlessness of say "Drag Me To Hell", but was nonetheless very much worth seeing in the theatre. Flawed but hella entertaining.

8.0001 bloody pitchforks being dragged noisily across the floor outta 10

Is it very gory?

Kinda but not all torture porny or anything.

I watched the first 4 parts of the John Adams HBO miniseries today.  I hadn't seen them before and enjoyed them.

[The Larch]

Saw most of "Shoot 'em up" last night on the telly. So over the top even Garth Ennis would think it was over the top. Very enjoyable, though, once you flip the brain off, something that will be inevitable once you watch the first 5 minutes of the film, which include the cutting of an umbilical chord by way of shooting it, a deadly stabbing with a carrot and a shootout while delivering a baby. I guess Paul Giamatti and Clive Owen needed the paycheques.

6.5 Monica Bellucci's bursting cleavages out of 10.

The Hurt Locker, a couple days ago.
Solid performances by the actors, very good editing, the only minor drawback is Bigelow's filming style: the always-bobbing camera and very fast zoom-ins and zoom-outs make me feel like I'm a bit drunk.

Not bad, not bad at all

Gamer - the rapidly becoming overexposed Gerard Butler blows stuff up and kills people. Blu Ray improved the film marginally. But not the weak story, or mostly aside from Butler, weak acting.

I'm amazed the story got past the pitch stage which is about as far as it goes complexity wise. Not a complete waste of time, is the best thing I have to say about it.

See, I thought that the movie had some interesting ideas, but that it ultimately couldn't quite decide what to be.  I also liked Hall, although that might have been because of the novelty of hearing a Southern accent (which I associate with base stupidity) on an intelligent character.  And then there's the fact that modern action scenes are generally terrible.

[BuddhaRhubarb]

That's a reasonable take on that movie Neil. Yeah it tries to be too many things at once, and ultimately fails. But the ideas were cool. It could in good hands be a decent Heinlein-esque or even if you wrote while high a Dick-ish SF novel perhaps, at least the controlling others part.

[Darth Wagtaros]

I just watched Gamer the other night.  I agree that the premise could have been good, but there was too much wink-wink references to modern media-obsessions.  Too many directions.

Too many notes?
