Pusher trilogy (1996/2004/2005): explores the drug life in the underworld of Copenhagen. all three films are excellent with very interesting characters.

I really enjoyed them especially the first two.Very gritty and hard edge.

I find the director (Nicolas Rfn) to be one of the finest around. I think Bronson was one of the most overlooked films of 2008.

looking forward to his newest Drive (just won best director at the Cannes film festival) starring Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan & Christina Hendricks. very interesting cast!

I agree though, totally fit!

Water for Elephants (2011)

the elephant was the best part of this! ok and the cinematography.

sweet story but the pace felt too slow and boring for most of the film, and there was hardly any chemistry between all three characters. expected a lot more.

True Grit: 1/5

Drive Angry: 0/5

Moas Last Dancer: 3/5

No Strings Attached 3/5

Planet 51 4/5

Gnomeio and Juliet 4/5

Has he been in any good movies other than Juno?

I liked him in Extract, with Mila Kunis, the Ex was ver funny - he was the bad guy in that one.

I'll wait for the Arrested Development movie.

The Break Up's ok, it did seem as though it was mainly Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn arguing for 90 mins.

Bride Flight (2008) - Three Dutch war brides on the 1953 air race flight to New Zealand are reuinted 50 years later at the funeral for a friend. If you like weepy melodramas, this one is for you. 1/2

Narnia: Prince Caspian

seemed to go on FOREVER!!!

Gnomeo & Juliet

Let's just say I might go out and buy a garden gnome tomorrow just so I can smash it to smithereens.

What cute boy-cake convinced Elton John (or Elton's husband to convince Elton) to get behind this on such a scale??

rabbit hole

I finally watched Black Swan last night. I really enjoyed it!

Hachiko: A Dog's Tale

picked it from a top 100 kids movies

my kid, who is NQR, bawled his eyes out, and I am relieved, because it means he really feels feelings.

5/5

yes it was a tearjerker, but it WAS devastatingly sad!

That movie made me bawl like a baby! Good movie!

I still don't know what the hell did I watch.

Its a visually gorgeous film though, very hypnotic.

Yeah looks great, but after two viewings I don't think it's a great movie. A decent movie, yes, but the plots pretty weak, and the characters are uninteresting, especially Frank.

Vastly inferior to Twin Peaks on every concievable level. Including Kyle MacLachlan's hair.

I gave it 4 stars and I like it more and more each day that goes by. It's one of those movies IMO that gets better the more you think back on it.

X-Men: First Class (2011) - Professor X and Magento assemble their first team of mutants in the 1960s. 1/2

Excellent acting in that one.

My fave show ever I watched Blue Velvet on the strength of Twin Peaks as a matter of fact, but I've yet to figure out what he was trying to say in the movie. Mr.Lynch has a knack of making his audience go through a mind fuck. Just when you thought you figured the story out, some unpredictable scene pops out and throw you in a loop.

Same with Mulholland Drive, its like watching a dream in two parts, as opposed to a film with a traditional plot line. Psychiatrists would have a field day analyzing his movies thats for sure

TP aside, I find Wild at Heart to be his best, it's such a beautifully kooky love story with just the right amount of surrealist horror and weirdness. It was filmed while Twin Peaks was being made, so some of the same actors pop up in small roles. Shit,,,you've probably seen it anyway.

I need to see Inland Empire.

This weekend brought us to the 1 year anniversary of our dogs's death. This movie tore us to bits but was theraputic in a way. In any event loved it, and it was a fitting (albeit tearful) tribute to dogs and dog lovers everywhere. The only thing that bugged me is that Jen Aniston looked like she had facial fillers injected while she was filming this and spent the majority of the mvie looking like a space alien parading around as Jennifer Aniston- her forehead didn't move for the entire length of the movie and she looked bizarre during the angst and grief scenes 'cause her eyes were slant and her face wouldn't move. Still, I give it 4/5

sure. i gave it 3 cuz it didn't move me emotionally. i felt like the director was making me watch someone else's experience instead of involving me in it. everything else was excellent.

I saw The Hangover Part II yesterday. I'll give it a 2 out of 5. I did laugh a couple of times, but I didn't really like it. The first one was much better.

Also watched The Silence of the Lambs for the first time yesterday. 5 out of 5

Huge thumbs up for Bridesmaids. That one was hilarious!

Huge thumbs down for Hangover 2... A huge steaming recycled piece of crap.

After all these years I finally got around to watching SECRETARY

Very well acted but the novelty wore out after the first spank. Overrated.
