X-Men: First Class. 8.5/10
Wowzers! Finally an X-Men movie I can really get into. Don't get me wrong, I had a passing interest in the other movies, but they strayed from the storylines quite a bit. The timeliness were off from the comic series. This is a much more cohesive film. I really wish this had been the first of them. I hope they'll continue with this cast and director. Brilliant. I only dropped it down from a 10 because I think even the best of super hero movies can't compare to things like "The Thin Red Line" or "Once Upon a Time in the West."
It was great to see Kevin Bacon in a roll that suits him again, and don't underestimate some of the emerging new actors. They do a good job. The origin stories are fascinating, inspiring. I think I'll be going to next year's Comic-con as Mystique.
Great fun. I don't know why this didn't have a good showing in theaters. It's picking up some decent acclaim though. Expect a comic movie should you see it, but keep an open mind and tell me what you thought afterward.
I don't like Bacon, there is something about him that has always annoyed me but I have to agree that he was really good in this movie, except when he was speaking in German that was just odd.
I decided to watch 'Raiders of the lost arc' last night haven't seen it in years, think I'll watch all the Indiana Jones movies, the only one I haven't seen is the new one. It's still good!

I love the Indiana Jones movies! The new one is terrible! Ha.
I know what you mean about Kevin Bacon. I haven't liked him in a long time. I never thought of him as a heart throb. He plays a villain well, and maybe he has matured a bit with time. That's the hope anyway.

Kevin Bacon's a ham.
I saw The Final Cut last night, 2004 and one I'd never heard of before. I could have lived quite happily without ever hearing of it - 2/10
Followed it with So I Married An Axe Murderer, still loaded with easy dumb laughs but better than the no-laughs encountered in the above - 8/10
I watched So I Married an Axe Murderer too! A week or two ago. Still very funny. I love the characters. Endearing.

Cracks me up every time.
yeah I have heard the new one is bad and I guess I am sounding very negative with me hating Cage and Bacon but the reason why I haven't seen the new one is Shia LaBeouf I find that guy very annoying, maybe because the transformers movies sucked.
I love 'So I married an axe murderer' always funny!

I have seen A Series of Unfortunate Events. Jim Carrey was hilarious and he stole the show. I'll give it 8/10.
Just watched '(500) days of Summer' and it surprised me, I liked it. She (Summer) loved the Smiths, Ringo and didn't believe in destiny, you gotta love a girl like that, right?

I recently watched Last Orders starring Michael Caine and Bob Hoskins. Great cast and great theme. 9/10

Young Adult. I agree with jajdud, 6/10 seems like a good rating, although it was better than I thought it would be. It's a black comedy, btw.
The Hunger Games-8/10 I quite enjoyed it and I thought it was fairly faithful to the book. The cast all did a good job, but Jennifer Lawrence was still the best thing in it.
The Sitter. 8/10.

Saw The Hunger Games on Saturday.
It really did stay faithful to the book, which is pretty hard to do. Absolutely wonderful.
Jennifer Lawrence was absolutely amazing (as always), as well as Josh Hutcherson and Woody Harrelson. I think they played the parts perfectly.

The first time in my life I have watched four movies I would like to rate 10/10 in a row!
The Scarlet Pimpernel - 10/10
Franz + Полина - 10/10
Stolen Eyes - 10/10
A Tale of Two Cities - 10/10

"Killer Elite" an action movie with Jason Stratham, who is apparently super cool in his movies, and even some Robert De Niro. Not bad but not really my kind of film or I wasn't in the mood for it. Give it a 6.
