Saw Public Enemies today. I think the problem with it was it didn't have the great ending we expect from the usual anti-hero movies. I liked it, but the ending just kinda left you with "fuck, that's really how it ends?" Even though you know that's how it's going to end. I enjoyed it though.
Talk about the last movie you saw

I just saw Transformers today. I edited it out in my mind and ended up with a bad episode of beast wars with as much budget as the whole series and a forgettable teen movie. Neither were truly enjoyable. I still don't get how they send foot soldiers against walking tanks, I guess I never will.
Because the movie is a commercial for our struggling armed forcesAisaku said:
I watched Shoot'em Up last night. I'm going to liken it to old Kung Fu movies: over top, hilarious and fun. I really liked it, would probably watch it again if I'm doing something else at thesame time, like drawing.
Is Gun Fu a genre? I think I'm going to refer to this a Gun Fu in the same way I refer to Speed Raceras being Car Fu.

The Cronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian.
Better that I expected. I probably liked it more because it has been a long(ish*) time since I read the books.
*3 years more or less.

Well...the first half was pretty good. Special effects were surprisingly good. And I was actually into the plot at first.
*sigh* At first.
Then, it all went to crap by the second half with the big revelation of the final prediction. Of course, Cage was...his usual self, though I was able to stomach him this time.
Just...wow. Let's just say this: I got it for free from work and...well, I got my money's worth.

Wow. That's...pretty much my play-by-play thought process right there. At first, I was intrigued enough to think that it might not be such a bad movie, afterall.ElJuski said:

Just re-watched this tonight to get the bad taste of Knowing out of my mouth. What a difference. It was fun, over the top and didn't take itself seriously. If I can find it somewhere cheap (which I'm sure I can), I think I'll see about buying this at some point. Such a blast.

I personally liked him in a, sadly, very short lived sitcom that he co-starred with Neil Patrick Harris. He played a neurotic writer and Harris was a representantive from the agency to ensure he writes. I'm blanking on the name, but by god, it was hilarious.
Not to mention his work with the Coens and Stanley Tucci-as-director.Bowielee said:
I know it's blurry as hell but here I am with him at the premiere of a movie he directed and his wife wrote and starred in.

This weekend was pretty good, as all the flicks I bought didnt dissapoint.
Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter-
Pretty okayish animation, although the voice kept me thinking he´d scream "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAA", but what really made it worth was the "under the hood" documentary.
The Kite Runner:
Being a fan of the book, I was surprised to see the film was just as good
Valkarie
While not very good, at least its nice to see a Hollywood movie show something else out of WW2 other than Nazis bad, US saved everybody, England who? Had the role been given to someone like Liam Neeson, it wouldve been better.
The day the Earth stood still (the original)
First time I watched it I was a little kid, good to see it holds up well.
The day the Earh stood still (the Keanu remake)
Looks like Reeves´ expressionless acting finally found its purpose, while some SFX looked cheesy, it was a pretty good remake.
I also bought the old Titanic movie, and the DeCaprio remake. Wish me luck tonight.

Oh god, I hated Valkyrie, and I forgot all about it until you just brought it up 
Nobody even tried to get a German accent right, from what I remember. I also remember that it should have been called "Tom Cruise Does History!" for how shallowly he jumped into his character. I will agree seeing something else from WW2 was interesting. If it's not the US Comes to Save the Day, its about the horrors of the Holocaust. Not saying the Holocaust wasn't a horrible thing, but there are different genocides / angles to take World War 2.
