Watchmen - 8/10

Really well made adaptation of the novel. The ending was actually even better because it's more concise - that artificial alien thing in the novel was a bit silly.

Oh, and Rorschach is just awesome.

G.I. Joe - 3/10

It's a run of the mill idiotic action movie cashing in on the recent cartoon/comic movie trend. I even went into this one without the usual hangups of being a fan of the original medium (e.g. big X-Men comic fan, hated the movies). Some of the action sequences were decent I guess =/

In talledega he is the main antagonist so not exactly a bit part.
In Sweeney Todd he plays Pirelli; which is a supporting role with a decent amount of screen time.

Watchmen 6/10

Inexplicable use of songs in the soundtrack and the plot was all over the place - but it was still pretty entertaining.

saw that a few weeks ago and came to pretty much the same conclusion.
had zero expectation and ended up thinking it was pretty fun.
how do you fault a movie where they have a helicopter mincing enraged zombies?

Defiance = 5/10 - Not nearly as interesting as was promised and the plot was almost laughable in parts. I mean...this was supposed to be a "true story" and yet the "true story" hits every predictable plot point exactly on cue, turning this into a sham of a film.

Whatever chances these people's story had of being told was sold out to capitulate to moronic audiences in favour of the Hollywood "formula". A shame really.

G.I. Joe - 3/10

Feels like a 90s movie -- and I don't blame them for wanting to take it back to basics after level of inappropriateness and stupidity reached by Transformers 1 & 2, but this movie has nothing on Independence Day.

G.I. Joe = 0/10 - Dreadful on every conceivable level. So bad it gave me gas. Even the VFX - the only story telling element within 4000 miles of the script - were horribly done.

Anyone that thinks this movie was entertaining in any way, shape or form should be sterilized and kept under house arrest until their death....most likely from self-electrocution or sex with a horse.

Team America: World Police was an insightful, serious documentary compared to this tripe.

Gran Torino

It's what Eastwood does best;
He sketches a scenario where someone, reluctant to do the right thing, *does* the right thing.
There's laughs to be had, and tears to be jerked.

Enjoyed it: 9/10

Funny People: 8/10
The part at his old lover's house dragged on for way too long. The rest of it was excellent though.

The Fall 9/10

The story of a paraplegic stunt man who tells a fantastical story to a little girl in a hospital as long as she steals morphine for him.
Incredible visuals with no special effects.

(by the same director who did The Cell. )
