I watched Death Proof again. A majority of people dislike it because 98% of it consists of dialogue that doesn't really pertain to the 'plot.' I actually dug these segments. I found myself really drawn into the conversations, as if I was there - I have a soft spot for Quentin dialogue. In honesty, I prefered the dialogue segments to those with Stuntman Mike. I was sad when it ended, not because the ending was horrendous, but simply because it was over. It's one of the few films I wish ran far past the 2hr mark. 3hrs even.

Following that, I watched Go. I really liked that also. Again, intertwining characters and multi-angled storylines are one of my favourites, IF done correctly. Otherwise, it gets real repetitive, real quick. Luckily that didn't apply here. Sarah Polley is one of my favourite actresses, after seeing her in My Life Without Me (watch it, if you haven't already) and she worked wonders with the rest of the 'bubblegum crew' (I swear, most of these actors appear in 90% of teen-oriented films made around this time...) It was, like many critics suggest, a child of Pulp Fiction. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saw snakes on a plane yesterday...pretty much dreading it...now, while I can safely say that pretty much nobody could remotely act (Samuel just did his over the top bit...nothing compared to what he CAN do), this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
If you could sit though turbulence, this won't really be a problem.
Some funny kills and gross "kinda" gore.

Still probably about a 4/10


Started watching through the Police Academy collection with #1 last night.
I think this was probably my favourite of them - a lot of the sequels relying too much on winslow, and walking stereotype characters. Not that they're bad, but this one always had a quality to it that the large part of the sequels didn't.
I'll continue watching through.

Death Sentence. 08/10


Excellent movie. Its very Death Wish-esque but yet its very unique too. Kevin Bacon excels like never before...and the atmosphere of the movie is awesome. The action sequences pack a real mean punch...overall its one of the best action movies of recent times.

I recommend it.

The Lookout 7/10

This was actually very good. I thought there was some very good acting on the parts of Joseph Gordon Levitt and Jeff Daniels.

Night of the Demons 2.......pretty dumb, but still a lot of fun to watch. Never going to win any awards, that's for sure lol.

If you like goofy movies with lots of naked boobs, this is right up your alley;)
