Oh yes.

The Adjustment Bureau : 3 1/2 stars.

saw "Insidious" earlier today, had some genuine creepiness to it, I'll say 4 out of 5 stars

Source Code: wtf?

Earlier in the movie the doctor said that after death, the brain's sensory and synaptic nerve endings remain active for a short period of time. So I got the feeling that after the last 8 minutes after he saved the world, the rest of the day (or lifetime, they didn't really say) he experienced was the remaining moments of the last electical currents running through the synaptic nerve endings. Then they show the scene where the woman that was communicating with him received the e-mail that he sent her while in the last 'immersion' to the 'past' and in that present/future scenario it shows him still alive meaning that he had changed the past and was still alive and would live out his life although through someone elses body this being the only way he could survive outside of his dead body.

Brain + computer = source code

I thought it was creative and different and despite it being confusing I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Thank you for trying to help but you just made it more confusing.

I saw this today and loved it. I'd give it four stars.

Woman Thou Art Loosed 1/2 out of 5

Mostly because there were moments that seemed to contrived/after school special. But I love love love Kimberly Elise. She's just so underrated. Even in a crappy movie (not that this was crappy) she always gives you at least one moment where you're like "Damn, she can act!". I wish she would get more "mainstream" films and I tend to think she doesn't because (even tho I think she's gorgeous) she's not "cookie-cutter" pretty for Hollywood. I could be wrong. I also am a big fan of Loretta Divine.

Burlesque: Ladies and gents, we might have found the cure for gay. out of 5.

I was ready to turn my card in.

I believe that is Cher Sacreligious. And for such act, you are official band from all bath houses (in other words, all temples that worship Cher).

Rango 3/5 It had some great bits in it and some other not so great bit

The Tourist = 10/10!!!

Unstoppable = 8/10

Sorry 'bout that!

Years behind the crowd, I finally watched this on Saturday:

I loved it - put a big smile on my face! Affirmative without being schmaltzy.

Breaking the Waves. 5/5. It's Lars von Trier so it's always gonna get a five from me. You will cry at the end. If you don't then you're dead inside.

Pan's Labyrinth 4.5 out of 5

Very good movie, I loved the ending. But I do have to say there was a good reason I was reluctant to watch this. I just don't really want to watch brutal assholes killing innocent people, even if they get their faces cut up and have to sew them back together themselves without any anaesthesia!

Guillermo Del Toro sure does love putting little kids through the wringer.

It's nice now that we have imdb as all I do is look at the directors of movies I like and I never seem to go far wrong.

Sergi López's portrayal as the bad guy is excellent as right from the start you know he really is a nasty bastard. There's no doubt in your mind that when he says he'll kill someone he means it.

I just saw The Happening on telly last night. Man that is a god awful movie Mark Wahlberg must have cried when he watched himself in that steaming turd of a movie

90 minutes of my life gone forever

Yes, Natalie Portman was amazing in this. I am a long time Aronofsky fan (Requiem for a Dream-own it!) and he stays with his intese style and best sex scenes of any movie. The dude who played Natalies ballet instructor (Vincent Cassel) was brilliant and sexy as well. Winona Ryder, not so much...oh, and Barbara Hershey was SO convincing as the Psycho Mom!!

Now what a film Requiem is! Everyone should watch that. Unless they're coming down.

Cher is not worshipped at bath houses. Bette is.

The Adjustment Bureau (2011) - Politician defies the agents of fate to be with the woman he loves. 1/2

I just saw this one. I somehow couldn't catch my breath for a while after it ended, but, at least right now, I can't say what exactly caused me to feel that way. I liked the dialogues a lot, made me think about life and art once more.

Yes, Natalie Portman was brillant. However, I don't know why Vincent Cassel somehow irritated me. But, all in all, I'm quite pleased

pretty good. but a beautiful mind is in my top 3 so i love anything with him in it

I watched "Tangled" last night.

It was cute, but not the cutest.

Oh yes.

I must have been the only one then cause I thought connecting organ donation to guilt and suicide was very tasteless?! Rubbish movie!

Just another prison escape movie. This was particularly crap, cause it made no sense whatsoever. The best prison escape movie I've seen so far was from the UK.

Perfect B movie with lots of action and no story whatsoever, and Laurence Fishburne is a strange actor. He does play the good guy in this one, 3 out of 5 for this action thing.

We agree on a movie.

This is the last movie I saw and I agree on the rating.

I wish the ending would've been a little bit stronger.

It's like the writers got tired of thinking of creative things and just let it end.

Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) - Australian girls boarding school goes on a day trip to Hanging Rock where some of the girls mysteriously vanish. (out of five) (or even higher after another viewing)

So we watched this tonight. Hmm. How many theories are there to their disappearance? Plain old abduction or something supernatural?
