The Book of Eli.
*shrugs* Gary Oldman's role wasn't as memorable as his other villainous roles such as Leon: The Professional and The Fifth Element. Still great to see him playing a bad guy though.

The Road did a better job on the whole "humanity falling apart" setting IMHO.

Good movie.

My uncle hadn't seen Dark City yet so I made him watch that. Then we watched that stupid Paranormal Behavior movie that tries to be Blair Witch and succeeds by sucking just as much as Blair Witch did.

I just watched that yesterday for the first time.

Hilarious movie. That one guy in the black coat with the green button up shirt and red tie who busts out the butterfly knives? His facial emotes were funny as hell during that initial scene where they meet by the car and he gets pissed off by the main character.

Tombstone.

Haven't seen it in a long, long time. Excellent movie, excellent cast.

Probably sucking more than Blair Witch did. I hate Paranormal Activity. Nothing but a snoozefest. Still puzzled to how this movie became so bloody successful.

Or that other movie that just came out recently where some monster that's not-quite-Cthulhu starts attacking New York and some teenagers run around with a camera filming their own deaths.

I should've put that under 'How I want to die' when I wrote my introduction to this forum.

"On live film, which is then turned into a cheesy low-budget movie with crappy special effects and an anti-climactic ending where they edit my death out and I die off camera. Only my screams are heard, which causes my friends to investigate. They all die off camera as well, then <insert antagonistic entity> strays into the camera's field of vision for about five seconds and attacks the camera, causing it to shut off. Fade to black. Scroll credits."

Absolutely. Amazing. Everyone should watch this movie.

Hamlet 2

It was funny, but also had heart; not what I expected, but still very good. ^_^

I now have "Rock Me, Sexy Jesus" stuck in my head! lol

One on Youtube called "Forbidden Zone". It was done by Richard and Danny Elfman, and is the craziest thing I've seen in a long, long, long time. It was made in 80's, but looks like one of those black and white movies from the 30's. I loved it.

Repo! The Genetic Opera, again.

I needed something on in the background while fighting with the Zune software on my Compy.

Ah, that is a beautiful movie!

I just watched The Craft because I was having a fit of eye-candyish nostalgia - and because my daughter hadn't seen it yet.

Paranormal Activity. I actually enjoyed it, idk. I mean it wasn't great or anything, but it entertained me.

Daybreakers

I admit I had been looking forward to this film for a long time. At times it felt oddly-paced with some brief periods of intense action and other longer stretches of filler scenes that could have been shortened or made more interesting. Also, there were a couple glaring plot holes towards the ending, which I found to be slightly abrupt and unnecessarily confusing.

However, overall I enjoyed it and was particularly interested in all the technological modifications that were employed in the film to accomodate the transition to a vampiric lifestyle. Sam Neill turned in the strongest performance of the cast with a refined yet menacing style. Throw in some not-so-subtle commentary on the less-attractive side of human nature and Daybreakers presents a very welcome reprieve from the glut of insipid, toothless vampire offerings of late.

Dorian Gray

I liked the costumes and settings, the photography and the atmosphere. Other than that, the movie is not good at all.

Ben Barnes, who plays Dorian Gray, is very good looking, but the poor chap cannot act to save his life.

And the screenplay is a disaster.
