He does, but people didn't like what the Nazis did, that doesn't make WW2 movies BS, no?

Agree with both those points :)

Harry Potter And TDH: 7/10 - I would've rated it higher (as I secretly really like these movies), but I couldn't shake the feeling that it was broken into 2 movies just to make as much money out of it as they could. It was still a good movie though and I look forward to the final installment.
 
Last night it was "Post-Apocolyptic Movie Night" for me!

The Road - was great, 7/10 (Very depressing movie though)
Children of Men - also 7/10
 
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time 8/10
I enjoyed it very much ,got a feeling they messed with the story tho, (never played the game)
 
Enemy at the Gate: 7.5/10
really good story and portrayal of the battle of Stalingrad, only messed up thing was that all the actors had english accents :-/
 
Public Enemies: 8/10 - A true story about bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) and the pursuit of him by Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale). I would guess it was Hollywooded (I know it's not a real word) up but it made for a great 1930's gangster-type movie.

Never Back Down: 8/10 - A fight-club type movie where anyone can fight anyone in "sanctioned" fights. It was a bit cheesy, being largely predictable, but still a good movie with a great soundtrack. It revolves around a kid who constantly gets into fights - it would seem he is antangonised - moving to a new school to accomodate his younger brother. His previous encounter has been broadcast on the net so he enters the school almost a hero... until he meets the current champ.
 
Batman: Under the Red Hood 8/10 - My 3rd favorite Batman film. Dimaggio was actually good as the Joker. He managed to pull off the laugh.

Fanboys 3/10 - Trash. Trust me all those in-jokes and cameo-spotting are not worth it. They didn't even use the official Star Wars theme (instead using a Jimmy Hart version) and official Federation insignia on the Trekkies. EDIT: It deserves a big thumbs up for actually using the word copacetic.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice - 8/10 : Keeping in mind that this is a Disney film, aimed at family viewing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The actor that plays the apprentice is really funny. One of the few movies that I actually watched "The making of" part too.
 
Scott Pilgrim vs The World - 9/10 Hilarious, very clever wit and just new funnynes. The girl is gorgeous, but i think she should have done more.
 
RED 4/10 - uneventful and lacking substance. Has great cast, but they cant save the movie. just nothing there.

I second htat, it was on mnet i think. I watched it years ago and when I watched again now, it was intense. I felt more this time round, maybe i was too young last time to appreciate the drama

agreed, RED Was crap.

I got 30 mins in and wondered " should i even bother finishing this" - its bruce willis, morgan freeman and whole bunch of other great actors, thrown into an all too predictable " the bad guys just can't win" plot.

It's lame, i give it 2/10

Pandorum: 7/10 - A Event Horizon-esque type movie with Dennis Quad. Some of a ship's crew awake (prematurely) from some form of cryo-stasis to find they are not alone on their ship....

Cashback: 7.5/10 - A romantic comedy of sorts (you normally won't find me anywhere near these) based in the UK. A guy studying Arts goes through a breakup and as a result, can't sleep. He decides he needs to find a way to make time pass quicker as all he spends his waking moments thinking of is his now ex. Starts working in a supermarket in the "graveyard" shift as a means of getting "cash back" for his time awake. It is not a soppy movie, and pending your type of humour, quite funny. DON'T watch with kids around...

I loved cashback. The narration is brilliant. also swede walk from the bathroom to her room was life confirming!
 
The American - 7.5/10 (2010) quite slow movie, italian prostitute is damn good naked, some very good scenes of her. no real action, but a relational movie.
