10,000 BC. It was okay, very slow at first but it got a little better. It was worth watching once.

The Happening - interesting idea that didn't really translate that well onto screen. This film starts of quite well. There is an event; people are beginning to act strangely and kill themselves. This event is only happening in the North East of America.

Mark Wahlberg is the hero and has to save his wife and himself from these events.
Enjoyed the beginning...SLIGHT SPOILER...[QUOTE]loved when they fled New York[/quote]

Particularly because you get the sense that they are panicked and those scenes are pretty good. However the film slumps. The plot is not enough to engage you fully. Mark Wahlberg is at his wooden best. He isn't the best of actors but with the right director he just about pulls through. But in this he is bad and there is zero chemistry between him and Zoey Deschanel who's playing his wife.

The actual twist doesn't make any sense at all. The plot is too thin for a movie and way too bizarre. M Night Shalamyan? should rest for a few years; he's done this too many times.

The movie drags on and only picks up again towards the end. Finally there are too many plot holes. By that i mean if you do see this movie; afterwards you will be asking yourself a few questions. Because quite a few of the key ideas in the plot just don't make any sense.

Just Saw Rambo....it was okay. 45 minutes of people being evil to one another before something ELSE happens is quite enough.

My stomach still hurts.

Oh, and I got to win an amusing argument with my husband. There was a naked ass(All you could see of the person) towards the middle of the film and I was like, "Hey...teenage guy ass..." and he was like, "No, that's a boxy girl ass. They're not going to show teenage kid ass." And whadaya know...it WAS a teenage boy ass.

I told him it was *perfectly okay* with me that he didn't recognize a teenage boy ass when he saw one ;D

Saw Turistas on TV last night. Ehhh. It was okay, satisfied me for those few hours but wouldn't watch it again.

The Godfather- sadly to say it was my first time watching it. I enjoyed it and am about to rent the second one.

I watched it on TV last weekend ... so great.

"I wanna know WHYYYYYY!"

If you are not crying by that point, you have no soul.

I just watched Breaking and Entering. I didn't think much of the film, it was ok but not great. Juliette Binoche was good though.

I watched Turistas a while ago. I can't for the life of me remember what it was about.

It's hard to cry over Julia Roberts though. Really, really hard.

Eastern Promises. Really good.

WhateverLolaWants · July 8th, 2008, 10:13 PM

Watched The Sting again tonight. Just as good the second time, even with knowing the ending.

I've never seen that. A remember a couple of the reviews mentioning a rather explicit scene of Jude Law fellating Juliet Binoche-was it all that?

I love that movie. Viggo is the man and Naomi Watts was terrific.

got suckered into watching the hulk 2 days ago. sucky and horrible beyond belief. even ed norton managed to suck balls in this, the script is that bad.
and liv tyler is officially the Worst. Actress. Ever.
she's like an asthmatic, breathless blow-up sex doll with a little wispy voice and mouth-breather face.

Poor Boy's Game - It was pretty good.
