Rewatched Brian DePalma's version of James Ellroy's "Black Dahlia" last night. Still works for me, but it does sag a bit towards the end. Definitely not an upbeat picture, but a decent modern noir worth a rental. In fact this time round I like La Swank much more than usual. It's definitely Hartnett's best performance imo.

New scale rating : :elvis: :ph34r: :thumbsup:
:p

:lol: Movies about unsolved murders usually aren't.

Hell Comes To Frog Town

I love the movie. Too bad they don't make the likes anymore. :(

And I wished there was a Fallout 3 mod of this.

Yeah, I agree.

Saw (500) Days of Summer last night.  I really liked it.  That Joseph Gordon-Levitt kid has skills.  And the soundtrack was a great third actor.

Habbaku

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Mystery, Alaska

Loved it! :lol:
Just saw this with Turkish subtitles.  Pretty great; they didn't blurt out any of the swearing, just made the subtitles less offensive, which I found fairly funny.

Wanted





lol

Edit:  It's just a goofy action flick with some added gimmicks (curving bullets, among other things), and the really stupid LOOM OF FATE thing.  It wasn't overly long like Transformers 2, so it has that going for it, I guess.

I want to see this right now.
That looks bizzare.
At first it seems to be a crappy fantasy film then it seems to be a better version of Role Models then it seems to be some sort of 'game goes wrong' horror/action thing. Its obviously not the first but I wonder which of the other two it will verr towards

It's a comic movie.

Hm.  They probably should have stuck with the superhero/villain thing instead of going with the secret group of bullet curving assassins guided by weaving equipment.
