Saw 500 Days of Summer last night. It's was a pretty typical romantic comedy. So I could take it or leave it (well, really just leave it), but my wife liked it.

Die Hard 10/10 Still the most awesome action movie ever. Yippee-ki-yeh and you know the rest.
Book of Eli 10/10 This is a very good movie. Some action, yet a decent plot and character development. And a heartwarming message.
The Millenium series, originally broadcast on Swedish television. It's an extended version of the movies based on the novels by Stieg Larsson. 10/10.
The Orphan, 6.5/10
Toy Story 3 - 9/10
Just a good, sweet movie. I was just about moved to tears at the end.
An attempt at minimalist reviews:
Law Abiding Citizen - A product of Hollywood suspense which keeps you absorbed all throughout until you get to turning off the TV and thinking how preposterous it is. Well directed, but the screenwriter needs to cool it with the morality speeches. 6/10
Mall Cop - "Why the **** am I watching this?" Is pretty much what I was thinking throughout this film. But hey, it's cute. Kevin James makes for a good, honest and incredibly likable guy who works on a set filled with product placement opportunities. The love interest (isn't there's always one?) is unfitting for the role and too blonde. Not-so-surprisingly the Hollywood script can't handle just a likable mall cop. Character introspections? That's too boring for us! 5/10
La Grande Illusion - Renoir delivered one of the greatest double-punches in movie history with this anti-war masterpiece and The Rules of the Game two years later. Very few films reach the acting ability and beauty of this film. It is humanist cinema if ever there was one about the march of time and the death of the aristocratic order. Eric von Strohiemer gives a beautiful performance as the iconic German kommadant. 10/10
Sita Sings the Blues - "Produced by You." A real heroic jab at the system, juxtaposing rag-time jazz and Hindu epics, sketchy hand-drawn animation and South Park-like cut-outs, clever improvisational commentary (with Indian accents!), epic love stories, autobiography and musical numbers. What more is there to ask for? One of the most inventive films in years, animation or non-animation. For free on the internet. "That's all." 9.5/10
I went to the movies yesterday and saw Robin Hood, what a great movie! 10/10!
The only Robin Hood movie that I appreciate is The Adventures of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn. Kevin Costner nor Russell Crowe aren't even up to his knees.Quote:

Afghan Star --- great documentary, following some participants in the 'Afghan Star' ('American Idol' - Afghan version). Un-frakin'-belivable...
Julie and Julia - Pretty cute movie although I would have prefered to see more about Julia who seemed more interesting. 8/10
No Country for Old Men - I watched this with some friends the other night, and we all thought it was excellent, but we all interpreted it in different ways. A puzzling film to be sure, but that's a good thing! 10/10
I haven't watched a movie in quite a while..but i am currently watching Stargate-Sg1 episodes, a really good series :cool:
Definitely "Mulholand Drive"...Hi manolia! :smile5:
