Potiche (2010) - Submissive wife in 1970s France finds empowerment after taking over her husband's umbrella company while he is hospitalized. Lighweight, enjoyable comedy. 1/2

I had Broadcast News on with the sound off on Saturday night. Holly Hunter's haircut in the final scene reminds me sooooo much of my childhood

Legion.

And that's being very generous. I should have known from the iMDb summary...

"An out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race. When God loses faith in humankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner with the Archangel Michael."

Avoid it all costs. Shit, shit, shit.

A bit like a slightly more authentic version of 'Heat'

However allowing the Ben Affleck character to just get on a train and ride off into the sunset was a bit of a hard one to swallow!!

3.5 out of 5

i saw The Fighter on the airplane whilst traveling to Japan last week. it was so good i watched it again coming home. that Christian Bale is alright when he isn't playing Batman...

It's a Scream movie, and as such did not dissapoint.

Some of it was ridiculous, but I think that it was intentional. At certain points in the movie, the whole theater would be holleirng "No! No! Don't go there!" and of course the victim wound up killed...but it was fun!

I love it when girls kick ass! And in Hanna - the girl can definitely fight!

Unfortunately the pace of the movie was soooo slow in between the fighting

scenes. So I give it:

( I wonder if Sucker Punch will be any better...)

I watched Little Fockers

My favourite bit was when Jack Byrne was calling up the CIA or whatever it was, and was told to use Google, and then he did him sitting there on the computer reminded me sooooo much of my dad and how his whole retirement has been taken up by him sitting and googling from 9am until 5pm every day, turning my mother into an internet widow.

2/4 stars

Tron Legacy 4/5

I had no idea what was going on for most of the movie, thanks to being surrounded by noisy chewing coughing talking little bastards, but it LOOKED and SOUNDED incredible

I bought the identity disc blu-ray package for my brother for his birthday last week.

Liked it better than the original.

I just watched this last night.

It is better than the original in my opinion.

It had a stronger emotional current, better tension, and more believable characters (like the bullies, who were quite silly in the original).

Don't get me wrong--the original was good. I just liked this one better.

I give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I am so behind on this thread.

PROWL- semi-cheesy here and there, but as far as horror flicks go, above average. I did love the lead girl, hope she turns up in other stuff in the future. 1/2

HUSK- Same as above minus the thing about the lead girl. 1/2

TANGLED- Very cute! A solid ( I still don't understand why she had a chameleon...aren't they tropical? )

Ron wants to do the main dude...cartoon.

I read Dan's FB status about it the other day and had the same thought

Suckerpunch and a half.

Extremely underrated film, imo. Would have been a film if the silly "video game" scenes were cut and they focused more on what was there.

It was Sweden in the 80s. What were bullies there at that time supposed to be like?

Hopeless

Hævnen / In A Better World (2010) Pair of boys encounter violence at school in Denmark while the father of one faces similar problems as a doctor away in Sudan.

it sucked. It SUCKED HARD

1,5/5

Alien Apocalypse with the one, the only, the everloving, magnificent son of a gun Bruce Campbell!!! out of five stars

freaking funny stuff! the project takes the B movie format and style, then spins it, satirizing the formulaic qualities of your typical B movie and comes up with yet another entertaining adventure wherein Bruce saves the world from alien conquerors and gets the girl.
