Post what movies you've seen recently and what you though of them
Juno - 7/10
It was a pretty funny movie and it was original

Rescue Dawn - 6/10
Good, entertaining Vietnam film about guys escaping from a POW camp. It was good but nothing special

Charlie Wilsons War - 7/10
A good story telling movie about one congressman who helped make a big difference. I don't know the history on it but i've heard it is historically active.

The Devis Rejects - 5/10
Decent gore slasher but nothing special, not that I expected anything too deep from Rob Zombie as a writer and director

Any movie with Michael Cera will be gold

Apparently he's not in very much of it. It's focused entirely on the girl.

Halloween remake was decent, not great but decent. Eastern Promises is next on the list.

I saw Juno too, it was hilarious.

Charlie Wilson's War was a good movie. You have to take it for what it is - it isn't meant to be a political thriller or docudrama (as some reviews I read trashed it for not being) - it is meant to be a comedy with some political overtones, and at that, it was good.

National Treasure 2 was pretty lame in my opinion. I guess they are meant to be cheesy like the old Indiana Jones movies, but I just can't take that from Nicolas Cage. Plus, they didn't even take time to figure out the clues this time - they just knew it as soon as it popped up.

I Am Legend was pretty good. That's been discussed in another thread, and I agreed with the consensus there.

Just messing with you.
To be honest a was close to seeing it myself but went with I Am Legend

Let the bashing begin, but "Waitress" is a pretty good movie. The chick that wrote it and plays in it was murdered right before it was released. Very good and strange movie.

Devil's Rejects is a killer movie. How do you only give it 5/10? 8/10.

This is true. I saw it on a date last night. I have to admit it was pretty good.

Not to mention the plot made absolutely zero sense. I know these things by nature are far-fetched, but at least the first movie had some historical basis behind it. This film was a bunch of made-up BS. I personally thought it was awful. And yes, Nic Cage was awful.

I saw No Country for Old Men last month and give it two thumbs up. I think I am going to hold off on anymore movies until There Will Be Blood is out in theaters closer to me, it kinda sucks having to drive 45 minutes to see all of the limited release stuff.

I saw Rescue Dawn, I would give it a 8 of 10. It's based on a true story and is a great story. Unfortunately it could have been adapted better for the screen IMO.

Cloverfield looks to be good if you are into monster films. Cant wait for 310 to Yuma to be out on DVD next week

Watched "Children of Men" on HBO this weekend. Pretty good. I like Clive Owen and Michael Caine was great as usual.
