The Avengers has a couple of sexy women with guns along with other superheroes making a mess of NYC while saving the world from Loki. It was definitely entertaining with some good lines.
Score: 10/10
Here's one of my favorite scenes when the Hulk takes on Loki: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8sLAJ1R9RU
Witness to Murder (1954) is a well made thriller with Babara Stanwyck, George Sanders and Gary Merrill in the lead roles. Stanwyck plays a woman who sees a murder being committed in a building opposite to where she lives. The murderer, played by George Sanders, covers his tracks so well that the police believe that the woman is mentally unbalanced when she won't leave the case alone. George Sanders plays his part with all his well known suavity but gets his just deserts at the end.
As a footnote, Sanders was the inspiration for Hercules Grytpype-Thynne the super suave villain played by Peter Sellers in the BBC Goon Show. In this clip he uses his perfect diction to good effect.
Apologies for the poor and unnecessary German though. 8/10

Great documentary on Sixto Rodriguez - bizarre and interesting.

I preferred the sexy men with all the power, Loki's smile just melts me, one of the best villains in Marvel.
I just saw Frankenstein from 1931 it was OK, more funny than scary, maybe because of years of violent movies.
Also saw 'Land and freedom' pretty good, I didn't know that much about this war so this movie and a lecture were both very interesting.
I've often wondered what women think of those female figures who kick butt in these action movies. I didn't expect Loki to melt anyone, but he is a great villain.
I recently saw Hot Tub Time Machine. It was 2 for $1 day at the library. That's my only excuse, but it was entertaining. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1231587/
Score 6/10
in this particular movie I loved Cobie Smulders, she was awesome, Black Widow was cool too but Smulders was a surprise.
My son tells me I always like the bad guys in movies, guess it's the young girl in me or something...
That first seen with Loki where he appears in the SHIELD headquarters he looks up with the most evil and awesome smile... I kinda liked that I guess
The Heiress is a filmed version of Henry James's Washington Square. Directed by William Wyler, it stars Olivia de Havilland as the timid daughter of Ralph Richardson who, since his wife died, keeps her tied to him by making her emotionally insecure. Montgomery Clift is the fortune hunter after her money. Richardson knows instinctively that Clift is only really interested in her inheritance but she is convinced that he wants her for herself. The acting is first rate and Olivia de Havilland won that year's Academy Award for her part.
Here's a scene that's at the heart of the story. 10/10

I liked Cobie Smulders. She did not get a large enough role. Of course, Scarlet Johansson made a lovely Black Widow. Even my wife was amused when the bad guys were forced to give her the phone while they were supposedly interrogating her at a secret location: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OJqPJRjHkE
Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) is the only one that seemed a bit too small, but when he aimed the arrows he became convincing.
Last night I saw The Tree of Life: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478304/
It was unusual the way the scenes portrayed prehistoric life and then went on to tell the story of a family whose eldest son died. I liked the contrast between living by "grace" and living by "nature".
Score: 8/10
Oh yes, my six year old loves female heroes and he loved that scene cause she hits them with a chair (I sound like a bad mom now)...
Hawkeye was the best 'good' guy in it, even though he was a mindless drone half the time, he will probably get a bigger part in the new Captain America movie and in the next Avengers.
I saw 'Kick ***' yesterday and liked it, I can't stand Nicolas Cage but he was almost cool in this one.
In Time. A rather novel take on the Robin Hood theme. I enjoyed it. 7/10
I watched Disney’s Hercules with my nieces and didn’t really like it.
The other movie that I happened to see was Thor. My young cousin who is 13 had a crush on Loki and she wanted me to see her favourite film. It was good and we both enjoyed it. 7/10
I just watched "Happythankyoumoreplease" and I loved it. Good story, great actors and an overall optimistic tune. Very, very nice!
