It is a bit better. But I'm not a fan of runner zombies. As cool as they are, I like shufflers more.

EDIT: Despite my Icon, I have not yet seen the movie about Che Guevara. Need to hunt down that DVD.

I take em in any size cup, as long as it's a strong sip and not long and drawn out.

The premise is similar - old guy hunts down troublesome gang(s), basically - but it plays out rather differently.Seen it. Loved it.

Clint Eastwood- Decent Actor. Amazing Director.

I highly recommend Unforgiven as well. Its awesome.

I finally got to watch 2001: space odysey, fully enjoyed it.. misses hated it, the over dramatic sounds did her head in.

nah when he killed him... the machine is so disturbing when its mind is going but its soooo sad :(

"dave, i can feel my mind going..dave..i am afraid dave"

Pionering sure, way ahead of its time, of course, best science fiction movie? not even close.

Way over rated though, its not even Kubricks best IMO.

The Descent: Part 2

One word comes to mind - flat.

I think it suffers on a few points compared to the original and you can almost look at it like The Matrix sequels, where the first one was stronger on its own and a sequel did nothing more than wear out its welcome.
It's not bad, but, right off the bat you're going to be disappointed because the chick is already out of the freaking cave.

So much for that superb melancholy of the first film, right!?
Well, it does that throughout the film. There is too much confirmed hope and not enough sense of complete dread and doom.

Some of the effects are pretty good, and other times it's as if the director was looking the other way when the cameras were rolling. (plastic boulders moving in unison as if they are one sculpture. stiff looking dummy bat-people getting pummeled on the cave floor; a 1980's quality "falling-down-an-endless-pit" effect)

On top of that, we already know about these things living (or "un"living) underground. We already know a cave can have tight spaces.
You could tell they were just trying to copy a lot of the scenes of the first film, yet just couldn't capture what was really great about it; they never managed to top it.
The sequel doesn't really hold up as a stand-alone film either, as there is too much reference to the first.

The ending was unexpected but about as necessary as the rest of the movie.

I could go on and on, really (I noticed it had a different director).

Having very little luck with sequels these days.

On the plus side, I saw Red, Quantum of Solace, and Casino Royale, all of which are great (especially Casino Royale).

Casino royale is the best out of that little list.

127 Hours.

Just wow... so many things to admire. The truth of the story itself, the astonishing performance by James Franco, the cinematography, the music, the directing - and that's to name a few.

I would also like to add that it's easily the most graphic film I've ever seen.

I knew he had talent way before the Spiderman movies, for example he was great in the James Dean movie IMO.

I think actors who genuinely have the prowess to pull off a show-stealing performance just need the right movie to showcase such talent; like it's their defining moment. Heath Ledger had it with the Dark Knight for example - even though he was brilliant in a lot of other movies before that.

@SimonM7- Have you seen Tristan and Isolde( I think that's how it's spelled)? Franco is the lead in that and it's really pretty good, imo. Like a medieval Romeo and Juliet...

Last week I watched.

Review: Time well spent :P

Recently watched Battle: LA, typical 'meh' movie really.

Good cinematography, interesting alien designs, cliché subject and plot but you don't go in expecting Inception so its all right.

Review: Wouldn't go see it again however would recommend it if you want to go out with mates and chill at the cinema.

battle for LA
NOT what i expected, felt more like Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter than the cliche end of the world flick i expected, was good, but would not watch it again.

Gnomeo and juliet....

i got kids ok, this movie was utter fucking shyt, from start to finish all i wanted to do was walk out but.. kids were loving it.

Yeah, I want to see it solely for the visuals. I'm almost certain I'll still dislike it though.

Movie is probably garbage, and I kinda expect that, but I was not expecting any character development whatsoever, nor a well told story either.

I just want eye candy to the max and super hot girls, that Sweet Pea oh my.....
