shutter island; predictable, but well made 

[Ed Anger]

The RiffTrax version of Night of the Living Dead. Enjoyable, even though the movie by itself sucks big green donkey balls.

[The Brain]

Day of the Dead 2: Contagium

Not a good movie. The writing is subpar and the acting ranges from OK to painful. Still a few positives: some interesting angles on the zombie experience and the ending is decent.

2012 Not nearly enough Mayan a bit too much father/son schmaltz, but otherwise a lot of fun in the action sequences.

Glad they didn't go with the completely over the top alt. ending you can see in the extra features.

Nice Woody Harrelson cameo.

3 + 3 + 1 :johncusack: = 7 Super volcanoes with really bad aim outta 10

Död snö (can't be bothered to make those correct but retarded Norwegian letters), Norwegian movie with Nazi zombies. Utterly forgettable. Some nice chicks though, and some sex while taking a dump for those who like it like that.

Sunshine Cleaning.  From the people that brought you Little Miss Sunshine.  Amy Adams is a stressed young single mother who breaks into the crime scene clean up business to gain face with her classmates from high school.  Alan Arkin reprises his role as the crazy old grandfather.

Not much happens.  Alan Arkin tries to make money selling bootleg shrimp.  Amy's sister and employee burns down a client's house.

I thought it was funny and succeeded in what it tried to be, i.e. a tongue in cheek undead slaughterfest. I'd say the nazis weren't classical will-less zombies, though, but rather akin to the undead Pirates in that first movie based on the Disney theme park ride.

I didn't laugh at a single joke.

*shrug* I don't get humor, and I find it unnecessary in life. YMMV

Believe, The Eddie Iz-zard story. Story of a tranny named Eddie who has continued the Ages olde tradition of British comedians dressed as women for your entertainment. eddie however is a bit sharper than most and insanely driven, even when he's obviously failing, he rarely wavers.

Nice to see a biography of someone who's overnight success was years and years coming. I relate on a great many levels with Miss Thing, as presented here.

Where The Wild Things Are.

I dunno, I'm pretty sure I get it, but well, meh.... Definitely worth seeing, I believe, but I had a hard time connecting with it, personally. Maybe I need to see it again.

[Martinus]

Ghost Writer.

I love Ewan McGregor and I love Polanski so I loved the movie. Polanski at his best, as lost as the movie is not misunderstood: it's meant to be a "Rosemary's Baby A.D. 2010" and not Fahrenheit 911.

Frost/Nixon.  A top notch made for TV movie.

Despite the odd subject matter I'm sure I remember it being at the cinema.

My understanding is that Yi is making a jab at it being good for TV, but not making the cut quality-wise to make it to the cinemas.

Last night I watched Almodóvar's "Volver". Despite enjoying some parts of it, mainly the beginning and build up, I found it dissapointing towards the end. Some parts of the film I didn't get at all, and flat out couldn't understand them, and some parts were totally unnecessary, IMO. I guess I just don't get Almodóvar.

Good portrayal of working class and rural Spain, though, despite Penélope Cruz being way too glamourous for some aspects of it. Lots of cleavage shots as well.
