I will take back what I said about waiting on movies. I will certainly be in line for Cloverfield.

Bridge to Terabithia: 8/10 I know, it's a Disney movie but something about it takes me back to when I was a kid. If you have young children you may not want them to watch, very sad ending.

Downfall: 8/10 It's about the last days of Hitler. If you're not into subtitles don't bother getting this

Death Sentence: 7/10 It's a great revenge movie.

Fast Food Nation: 6/10 Might make you think twice about getting a hamburger.

Saw IV: 4/10 This movie sucks.

Children of Men was too preachy for me, but maybe that's because I didn't agree with the message. I'm also looking foward to Cloverfield, but what the heck is that thing? I've heard everything from a lion to a big gator.

Last movie I saw was in November. I saw "The Mist" & personally thought the novella by Stephen King was much better. I didn't care for the movie.

Currently watching "Riding Giants" on one of the HD movie channels.

Great surfing documentary.

I thought that was a fantastic movie. All around... Honestly. I'd even say 10/10.

Speaking of Clive Owen, just saw Shoot 'Em Up, and that movie is absolutely ridiculous... And awesome. The action scenes are mind-blowing, and Owen just gets all sort of cheese-ball one liners that will drop your jaw lower every time. Great empty-minded action movie.

I thought that was a great one. My dad grew up in Redondo Beach in the 50's and 60's, and he thought it was extremely well-done and very accurate. All the guys in that movie were his childhood heroes.

Once - outstanding. The soundtrack is just as good.

Oceans 13 - exactly what you expect. Fun to watch, pretty decent little ploy, clever banter amongst characters, extremely unrealistic.

Walk Hard was terrible imo. I begged my wife to go with me and then half way through I leaned over and asked her if she was ready to leave.

Actually that drawing is believed to an entry in a contest to come up with the cloverfield monster and is similar to a video game (Final Fantasy X) boss as well. I am excited to see this film, I hope it wont be a let down.

There is a ton of speculation on this, I spent the better part of sunday morning trying to figure it out. Truth be told, we wont know until a bootleg is out early/prescreening/opening night.
