Just got back from a matinee showing of Iron Man 2 ... great seats, dead center in the theater with no crowding ... and the flick rocked my socks! Robert Downey Jr really works that role!
It's funny that all the critics say the film retreads the story from the first Iron Man film, while giving it 3 to 3.5 stars out of 4. So, whats so bad about more of a good thing?

Last movie I watched was this:
I was curious to see it mainly because of being the first solo film by Marc Caro who is probably best known for his collaborations with Jean Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen, City of Lost Children, Amelie). I really enjoyed it, but I don't think it will be for everyone. It's a very deliberately paced, intensely philosophical sci-fi movie with a lot of vague, unsolved stuff at the end that is open to a lot of interpretation. It's basically about a small mental asylum in space where the handful of patients are being psychologically experimented on by a group of doctors who plan on altering their DNA with nanomachines. Inexplicably, a new patient is added to their ranks who never speaks and seems to have the ability to "cure" the other patients by eating some form of invisible energy creature that is causing their problems. Sound weird or confusing? It kind of is. And I sort of like that there isn't much more explanation beyond that.
Anyway...I recommend it if you like unusual sci-fi. It's French with English subtitles on DVD, so if you absolutely can't stand foreign movies, then I guess avoid it.

So did I when I saw it years ago. I loved it, so I bought the DVD about 5 years ago. I still haven't been able to work up the nerve to watch it again.

As did I. Slasher films, even with minor supernatural elements, are a waste unless you're THAT afraid of other people. Maybe if I hadn't spent so much time as a bouncer and security agent, the general nuttiness of other people would be more disturbing.
I watched The Dark Knight again the other day. Heath Ledger as The Joker is still one of the great acting performances of my lifetime.

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. With Rifftrax, of course.
My favourite joke was when the Soviets got attacked by the monkeys, they said "This is what Neil Gaiman feels like at Comic-Con."

Book of Eli.
Liked the atmosphere, the photography, the music and the cyberpank style 
The plot was a bit silly imo.
Someone said about Kamikazi Girls.
Such a cute movie

Planet Terror. The movie was hilariously over the top, and Rose McGowan is hot.

A Russian movie called Rusalka (Mermaid is the English title).
It's quite odd but I enjoyed it.

Ostrov, a Russian movie. It's English title is The Island, but it has nothing to do with the American movie with the same title.

I just recently saw Moon. Somehow I missed it in 2009.
Damn, that was an awesome movie.

"Splice" - Complete shit. And that's a huge insult to shit.
Also might I take a close analysis of the movie and come to the conclusion that the movie was trying to portray the stereotypical redneck west virginian family. Brought up to an intelligent modern day couple.
So gross.

Fast & Furious 4.
They're all really crappy movies but they have their charm. Then there's my theory that any movie starring Vin Diesel can't be bad but that's a whole other matter...

I could watch Serenity five times in a day and not get bored. Same with Firefly.

The Collector. It was sick (which is always awesome). The traps and torture methods the killer used are fucking brilliant. And the ending was fairly interesting.
