Tron 6/10 Good setup and the light cycles will never stop owning. The story becomes tiresome after a bit though.

I also enjoyed that way it was filmed which (surprise to me) the boyfriend pointed out: None of the three main characters are in the same scene at the same time. Shadows: yes. Feet under a door: yes. Faces and interaction: no. Very clever. Bravo.

Why is that clever? It is true, but why do you think it's clever?

Dude, come on. She thought it was a 'shoot 'em up'.

The Mist: 4/10 Only about 50% of the movie has some entertaining bits. None of the characters were very interesting and their interactions added virtually nothing to the film. The lightning quick breakdown of social order was forced and frankly goofy. Unlike I Am Legend, this one would've benefited from more monster-gunna-git-ya action.

Fitna by Geert Wilders 5/10
nothing in the movie that hasn't been shown/seen before

Awake - 7/10

Good psychological thriller, even though it had Darth Vader in it.

I thought The Mist was a remake of The Fog http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080749/ but I guess not. I was going to say The Fog seemed scarier.

-------------SPOILERS----------------
OK so I rewatched No Country for Old Men. I have some stuff I can't resolve:

- At the scene where the sheriff finally arrives at llwelyn's hotel, why is the chick floating dead in the pool? I don't see what part she had in that scene.

-Whats the 'missing floor' thing all about?
-------------SPOILERS----------------

Hitman - 5/10 - timothy olyphant was a poor choice, and the whole slew of TV actors (including olyphant) pretty much spoke for itself. weak

The original Fog was better...and scarier even if a little more campy. John Carpenter is a great idea man. He isn't the greatest screenwriter in the world but I find that most of his movies end up being guilty pleasures for me anyway (i.e., The Thing, Escape from NY, Big Trouble in Little China, Ghosts of Mars).

Don't forget Starman and They Live. I like Carpenter's movies too.

the first time i saw the Fog was in Berchtesgaden when i was a wee lad. the theater was scary enough, ffs. just like Hannibal said, a little campy, but fucking good.

They wanted the movie to fail from the start, otherwise they would've cast Jason Statham.

Or maybe they were stoopid.

"What is that a catchphrase or is that uhhh epilepsy"

Talladega Nights - Lacks a lot on other WF stuff, but still funny

War with Jason Statham and Jet Li. 5/10 if I am being generous.

"This is awesome. Are you climbing on the table right now?"

Lucky#Slevin
7/10
I liked better as it went on...

Funny, I just watched SHitman. It was ok, 6/10 for having some entertaining parts. Putting T-bag in a russian role, with his accent fading in and out, kind of cinched it fo rme.

Transporter 2 - 5/10

Had some good action scenes, but the rest of it was ridiculous a la Crank.
The first Transporter was much better.

Not really.

The dead chick was Llewelyn's wife's mother. She was the one that let slip where they were going to be staying to the Mexican drug dealers. And what 'missing floor' thing?

Is that bad?... how so?

It's an interesting way to film a movie! How many movies have you seen where the main characters don't interact with each other face to face? The Coen brothers always seem to come up with an out-of-the box idea in one way or another. Raising Arizona, Fargo, O' Brother Where Art Thou, No Country for Old Men... Good stuff in my book.

Any movie where everyone is trying to shoot everyone else is a fucking shoot em up... what do you want me to call it?

You missed the point.

Oh dear, someone wasn't paying attention to the film. Look, everyone's entitled to their interpretation of a film, but to describe the movie as 'a shoot em up' is more than a bit of an oversimplification. I view it as a character drama, albeit a violent one, that details Tommy Lee Jones' struggle and eventual surrender in dealing with an appallingly violent society.
