Bee Movie, I quite liked it.

Dazed and confused. Twas good, interesting to see a load of people that are quite famous now as teens. The atmosphere was nice too, i love stuff set in the 70s with good soundtracks.

I saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie recently, great story and ridiculously cool action scenes.

Killer Elite - I started to worry around the middle but it still ended up being a pretty respectable movie. The only downside; even if the moves are technically good its getting hard to watch Hollywood fights, with half the stuff they're doing should have people dead in the space of five seconds if followed up properly and, for the sake of entertainment they always let the other guy up five times. :/

We just watched The Rum Diary last night - - and I laughed uproariously!
Johny Depp was great back in Hunter S. Thompson mode, and Giovanni Ribbisi was great as a twenty four hour drunk newspaper writer and Neo-Nazi with the clap. Especially funny was when Ribbisi had given LSD (the FBI gives it to communists) to Depp and a friend, after which Depp sees the tongue of Satan coming out of the mouth of his buddy!
Highly recommended!

Ip Man 2

I was actually going to give this movie a 10/10 and write a rave review on it but, the last fight of the movie gets a D- for Hollywood destruction (he gets to see how the guy fights, give another guy advice, and then only remembers his advice at the last moment......whatever).

FYI it is based on a real story, a real guy, Bruce Lee's teacher and the guy who brought the wooden dummy form from 108 to 116. He's something of a 20th century legend in a lot of ways.

I'd say still check it out if your curious, you won't necessarily need to see the first, enjoy the rest of the movie but be warned that the last fight seen has some Rocky Balboa cheese that made absolutely no sense.

A movie my mother insisted I watch with her. Surprisingly very good.

Last night, I watched The Towering Inferno with my mom and my sister.

My sister rented it and I say wow...it was a very great movie.

My sister, after the movie finished, told me a funny story of how a female extra
freaked after the studio heads offered her a chance to meet Paul Newman.

Felicia's Journey, such a gorgeous film but very depressing, I can't tell when it's set because of the costumes and settings and that adds to the depressing imagery as it's all very plain looking. I love the story and acting.
I nearly cried at the scene where Felicia has an abortion and while it's happening dreams about her could-have-been son as an older kid.

We just watched The Number 23 the other night. I thought it was a decent thriller, with an ending I was not expecting. Who would've thought - Jim Carrie can actually act!
