If it's indeed in the movie, I don't like it.  The whole scene's intensity whas with Vader thinking in his mind what's happenning, what's his choice, what should he do, the whole moral conflict that goes on in his head.
I still hope it ain't true...

I'm really getting into the American Shameless.
Its...strange. It is so much more gritty and realstic in tone in many ways yet the American setting gives it a bit of a disconnect with the reality I know which makes it less relatable.
So many of the plots are the same as the British one only grittyised and Americanised a bit and they all happen in a different order (Monica showed up uber early), it all feels kind of like some sort of alternate universe story. Like Superman: Red Son but Shameless.

Hanna was decent, though obviously the script got "hollywooded" (dumbed down for supposedly unsophisticated America audiences.) a bit, but the great performance from the kid makes up for the lapses for the most part.
The hippy family was funny. Overall a winner... glad they didn't go with the alt. ending.

The Warrior's Way. Kinda like what Shanghai Noon would be as a comic book movie. Watchable enough for my tastes, didn't blow me away though.

Watched 'The Lost Eagle' barely tolerable and it's disappointing the director of 'The Last King of Scotland' couldn't have done better.

I'd like to take the soundtrack and use it when I'm arriving to oversee my worker bees.

It's fucking brilliant.  Walter Hill is my favorite living director of westerns.

You guys are kidding, right?  You're talking about Walter Hill's Bruce Willis-driven Last Man Standing, right?  The one that out-noirs film noir itself?

The Devil's Own.

While Harrison Ford never makes a bad movie, and holy shit Treat Williams actually did something since 1941, I truly grow tired of Hollywood's consistent portrayal of the IRA as some sort of terrorist organization.

The one that's great?  Yes.

Saw two movies this saturday night, as I had some friends over and it was rainy as hell:

- Tropic Thunder: Not as awesome on my 2nd view as when I watchet it for the first time in the cinema. Some parts are still hillarious, though.

6 fake parody trailers that could very well pass for a real movie out of 10.

- The Social Network: There's huge merit in making an interesting movie out of the tale of the foundation of a private company by a bunch of nerds. I guess that a healthy amount of embellishment took place to spice up the story, though.

8 nerds-turned-billionaires that still miss the girl who dumped them back in uni out of 10.
