I agree X-2 was really good but X-3 was awful!!! and then Wolverine was just OK I think, but I have high hopes for the second Wolverine movie.Quote:

I saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy last night, and I found it very confusing and somewhat boring. So I gave up and got mad instead. And I love Gary Oldman, but I should have known it would be confusing, as I had not read the books. My husband loves those stories, so he ofcourse knew what was going on and he has a fantastic memory for names and details. I was befuddled. I can't rate it fairly, the acting was very good, and I guess Oldman was good at portraying a dull person.
"J Edgar" -- found it boring. Already knew a bit about the guy and I guess the acting was good, but it was dull for me. 5/10

But the movie version has Walter Fane and Kittly fall in love. It's a sweeter, more bittersweet ending (and a bit more traditional, too). I didn't dislike it, it was just different.
I saw the new Three Musketeers movie. I'll give it a 4, or maybe a 5 out of 10. I think that the movie with Charlie Sheen and Tim Curry was far, far superior. This was just dismal.
I enjoyed watching The Descendants. 8/10
This is a scene from '7 Days in May, directed by John Frankenheimer and that I watched last night. It deals with a plot by the military to take over of the US and, while the film has it's faults, this scene between the president and the leader of the coup is absolutely riveting.
Nobody can act like this now but just watch Burt Lancaster and Frederic March to see what we have lost.

Watching Rebecca for the sixteenth time. One of Hitchcock's best from a great book.
I saw 50/50. Rating 10/10.
I finished watching this one this evening, and I agree with the rating. It had a lot of heart, and excellent direction, camera angles, etc. It was a beautiful, imaginative film, and I think it's a film you can watch, and have some thoughts to ponder over. There's clearly some deeper contemplations.Quote:

"Margin Call" -- pretty good. Some might find it dull, seems like not much action, and not knowing what was really going on added some tension. It's about the beginning of the financial crash in 2008. I'd say 8/10.
"The King's Speech" -- I thought this was brilliant. The new King of England in 1939 has a stammering problem. Definite 9+ for me.
The BBC version with Alec is incredible. Some of the best acting performances ever done imho. Take a look at the Amazon reviews...Quote:
