Give me an A! Give me a B...! What does it spell?  Babel, Borat and The Prestige.
 
Borat was slapstick comedy for the 21'st century. Makes most anyone he had contact with look like an idiot. I give it a 'C' for humor. An 'A' for ridiculous scenes (that hotel room segment made me laugh pretty hard).
 
Babel was a slow flick that makes the viewer eventually connect the pieces. One innocent gun leads to many international incidents affecting numerous families. 'C' for being slow and predictable after the first half hour. 'B' for the diverse locations.
 
The Presitge is the sleeper out this bunch. Magic, showmanship, good acting and Tesla the man. 'A' for twists and thrillilng turns.

I saw El Labyrinto del Fauno. It was amazing. I do not see how people can make such a big deal about 300, but not this one.

I love Vanilla Sky, even though it took me about five times (literally) to understand it fully.
 
Traffic is a great film as well, nice intertwined plots, the conscience and the cold, the supply and demand, the victimless crime versus the victim. Much more complicated than that but definitely one of the best recent films out there.

Saw Rocky Balboa - a good movie - 8/10, Sly can act Rocky with no questions asked. A personality with all the quirks i must say.

Smoking aces - I tried to get into but was not really a good movie. The ending had so many twists in it it made my head hurt. I should of known how good the movie was going to be when I saw ben affleck in it. Though he had a small role.

Van Wilder 2 - not very funny not very good.

Evil Bong - Not exactly sure why I decided to watch this one. Still not sure

Bloodrayne - For some reason when I downloaded this I thought I was going to get an animation type movie based off the video game. Unfortunately I got some horrible B type flick with the blonde girl that was in Terminator 3.

The Man who would be king - Sean Connery and Michael Caine classic. Its lost a bit of luster in its age but I still love this movie and decided to watch it to erase the memory of the other trash I watch this week Tongue

Both are amazing movies.

Saw Borat on Saturday. Khazakastan was worried about this giving them a bad image? This movie made me embarrassed of being American. And you can see how the media here twists the truth to make a story with that rodeo part.
New Yorkers didn't seem happy, but I guess that was due to him trying to kiss him lol. And the Southerners really seemed like intolerant red necks. Showed the Christian Conservatives as crazy whackos. The movie really didn't give Americans a good image.
Sad part is, it was all true...LOL

I finally got my hands on an English subtitled version of Ran and Kagemusha. Ran is a spectacular movie for its time frame considering not much CGI, if any, was used for the battle scenes. Incredible camera work and good storyline. Kagemusha was good as well.

I also saw Curse of the Golden Flower which was quite a colourful movie and I think kept me entranced throughout it. Or could of been how the women dressed in itLOL

300 - nobody could act, it was like the trailer was made 60 times longer. It had a good principle of freedom fighting in it.  Good to see computers are still developing, otherwise it was a lousy movie with nothing to make it above anything else.

Going to see "The Devils rejects" and "Cannibal Holocaust" soon.

^ HAH! Glad to see someone else saw the movie for what it was!
 
300 - Crap
Chronos - entertaining, but a little lacking in ... something.

I saw TMNT yesterday. I was skeptical going in (for me, unless you have 4 grown men dressing up in turtle costumes, it doesn't count as a TMNT movie), but it was pretty good. Voice acting was pretty good (Patrick Stewart was excellent as usual). 8/10
