Alice in Wonderland not only has crap reviews, it also edited out my appearance as an extra. There is now no possible reason why you'd want to see it.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Saw Green Zone today and really enjoyed it. Disturbingly I found the whole premise of the movie totally believable. As it was based on a book written by a "contractor" who was in Iraq at the time, the reality of regular troops dying in the streets whilst "private contractors" lived it up by the pool at Saddam's palace was a poignant scene. Damon played a more sensitive and emotional version of Bourne (which was what was needed) and Greg Kinnear's character was suitably twatish.
It looked perdy and the action scenes were realistic enough without going too over the top. My one quibble is with Greengrass' love of handheld camera shots and "fast panning" (a la 24). Now and again is ok but too much just makes my eyes hurt, there were a couple of times where I couldn't look at the screen because I couldn't focus on anything. Meh it's a small point about an otherwise excellent action/drama. 8 / 10

Cloudy with a chance of cheese and donuts or something equally foolish.
Woeful animated film (watched it on he boat home from Scotland), I know its for kids, and the idea is silly enough to provide possibly amusing scenes, but the characters, excepting the father and reporter, are just far too over the top and annoying to be remotely entertaining.
Dogshit, bring back Finding Nemo quality for my animated films please.
3/10
Invention of Lying, watched it on the boat to Scotland
Meh, again a film where the premise was good, potential for a lot of laughs but it falls flat, by diving straight into the gutter with its tone. What happened to reasonably intelligent scripting? Are audiences that retarded nowadays that they need everything spelled out in black and white. Now I'm not saying the Carry on films were genious, but in their way they were terribly smutty whilst rather saying anything more than a vieled reference and coupling it with Sid James' epic laugh. Bring that shit back, we can get a masturbastion joke without the main characters saying masturbation 10 times within a minute, thank you very much.
Bleh, Gervais' character annoyed me, Garners was irritating also, htought hawtness gets her a let off.
5/10, wait for television, don't waste money on renting.
I love you Philip Morris. watched it in the cinema.
And endured a few painfully awkward moments in what was an otherwise enjoyable comedy/ true story (not bothered to research how close it is to the real tale.
Several massive belly laughs, a few from shock comedy, a few from visual and about 2 minutes of pissing myself at an angry inmate screaming his word is his motherfucking bond.
Ewan McGregor was the star of the show for me, played his character to perfection. Carey's smile was alittle too much for what a more serious comedy than what we see him usually take on.

REPO MEN.
Fucking amazing. It got absolutely destroyed by the critics, but this movie basically had everything I look for in a good movie: an intriguing/thought-provoking premise (to chew on while the plot builds up), some pretty funny parts, and incredibly badass & gory action scenes.
E.g., one of the last fight scenes:
Protagonist (Jude Law, dunno his character's name haha) comes up against like 10 other repo men (people who stun & carve out organs from people whose payments are overdue). Whips out two long knives. Cue epic music.
Badassery commences.
Not a deep movie by any means, but it was well worth the money imo.

@Brood, we really need to talk about these delusions of yours.
Anyways, watched The Hurt Locker yesterday. An incredibly tense, and I'd say rather important film that I'll surely remember for a long time. Yet, I never really enjoyed it, if that makes sense.

Watched Up today. Pretty good film, but I don't think it's 'the best Pixar film ever produced' like some people I've heard say.

Ok, so... Rear Window... the great mystery in that film was: why was the guy even remotely interested in the murder instead of the prospect of banging Grace Kelly? :>
Nah, a very interesting film really
Bit better imo than Vertigo.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

What would be your pick for the best Pixar movie then?

Finding Nemo, hands down.
Toy stroy is pretty good as well though.
I didn't really find much to shout about at any of their last 4/5 offerings, incredibles was ok but ratawhatever, cars, wall-e and Up were "meh" in my mind (I do hate to use the word meh, but its a simple summary of my feelings on those feelings)

I think the thing with Up is that the first 10 minutes are just so brilliantly done. It is my favorite movie opening in a long, long time. The score was very well done as well.
Watched Shutter Island this weekend. Knew the ending and still thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a bit long, but I'd still give it 3 and 1/2 crispy slices of bacon out of 4. (I ate the other half).

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Yep, the opening of the movie is easily the best part.
If I were to rank Pixar's movies over the last ten to fifteen years or so, it would go
Finding Nemo
Toy Story
Monster's Inc.
Up
Wall-E
Incredibles
A Bug's Life
Cars
Ratatouille
Toy Story 2

You're all going to hate me for this but I couldn't stand Finding Nemo... I thought it was the least funny and entertaining ixar movies. Monsters Inc would probably have to be my favourite.
