i watched tell no one tonight. so very good. the plot was seriously twisted and amazingly laid out.

The Secret of Kells and Dead Alive were my last two victims. Dead Alive was just amazing and right up my alley. Secret of Kells had some ridiculously pretty animation. I honestly don't know why everyone insists on CGI today to make animated features.

HANNAH.  Fucking awesome movie...about a girl who is trained by her father to kill.  Really good movie, there isn't a shitload of dialogue, and when there is, it's pretty informational and it doesn't saturate the film.  Pretty tight soundtrack too, all electro-y.  Really liked it.

Are you talking about Dead Alive AKA Braindead?

[defskull]

AKA yes. Over the top gory movies with a slapstick sense of humor are so much fun. The gore effects in the movie were amazing.

is Dead Alive the one with the awesome lawnmower scene near the end?

"I KICK ARSE FOR THE LORD!"

Yes, awesome flick. First time you saw it?

Yessir.

[defskull]

Yeah it was my first time. Just one of many movies I've been meaning to see for years.

watched the resident. crappppp. the worst movie. no one watch it. jeffrey dean morgan's face was the only thing that was decent about it.

[bright lights, big city]

Source Code. Really enjoyed it surprisingly, since I went in with low expectations. Way better sci-fi than say, the Adjustment Bureau (adjusts crotch)

watched araki's totally fucked up. so engaging.

Clash Of The Titans (8/10)

Very enjoyable movie considering that I used to worship Greek history back in my High school years.

rocket science. this was such a good movie. i've decided that movies about stutterers have become favourites.

also i've heard it being compared a lot to rushmore, but i thought rocket science was more enjoyable than rushmore.

I went on a comedy binge there (not deliberately mind you - just dictated by the lovefilm list) - The Other Guys (Ferrell, Wahlberg), which I thought was fucking funny - good honest off the wall random Will Ferrell fueled improvisation type stuff.  And then Grown Ups (Adam Sandler and cronies), which I was less enthused by - Sandler seems to have gone into super safe mode - a few funny lines, but generally a letdown, much like Funny People was.  Kinda like hes looking for the wider audience vibe and letting himself down with it.  Reminded me of the deflation I experienced after watching Couples Retreat - I felt sure of quality what with Vaughn, Bateman and Favreau being in there, but it was in fact bollocks.

i watched paper heart. beautiful beautiful beautiful. so hilarious. i know see the charm of michael cera.

[lukas989]

Yeah tis good - went on a Cera binge a while back - my faves were that and Youth in Revolt, which I highly recommend if you havent taken it in already.  Was pretty diappointed with Nick n Norah though.

[blixa]

i hated nick and norah so much. pretentious piece of garbage. i usually really dislike all of cera's movies, except for superbad, but he was very charming in paper heart. everyone in that movie was so likeable. and the stories. the one with the guy who's talking about his boyfriend being in a box (his boyfriend died)...it made me cry.
