Return and Fortunado- recommendations noted!

--------------

Saw V (2008)

I didn't even like the first one, but some friends wanted to see this. It was boring! It truly was. It was police offers talking on cell phones and looking through files, and several of the murder sequences weren't even shown on screen.

Trash.

I got a few kicks out of it, not really pertaining to the movie itself though. I loved that Darla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel was in it. And the bigger guy in the only part with actual traps plays a character on Little Mosque on the Prairie.

I have to admit though, this movie scared me a lot and I'm still unsure why. I was shaking through the first half hour even and that was all recap from the last movie. Really a waste of a few hours though.

A gem of a movie. It would be a wonderful revisit once I m done with the November Film Fest.

Not a problem. Let me know what you think.

Oh, I really should add Despare and Roshiq to that list, too.

That's really nice of you. Although I have already added it to my wish list as soon as you recommended the first time.:)

Mindhunters: This was a really entertaining thriller/action movie. It's about a group of FBI agents on a deserted island doing week-end field exercises...until a killer amongst them starts picking them off one by one. You have to check out the death scenes in it...quite creative. Not without its flaws but solid nonetheless 7/10.

Mr. Brooks: Very impressed with this one. It's a serial-killer story with a very human feel to it. It's got a great storyline, actors, production, tension, characters, a nice ending..the whole works. Kevin Costner is great as the lead actor. For the fellas, Demi "MILF" Moore plays the lead detective and I actually didn't hate Dane Cook for once (what's wrong with me?). Definitely worth the rental 8.5/10.

Well, I had my night off from horror flicks...I think I'm having withdrawals already

Mindhunters was a good one. The last movie I saw was John Waters's Female Trouble. It was pretty good. He blended the humor with gore pretty well.

Only the 2nd time I've watched this one, but good lord - I love it. Such a gorgeous movie. The acting might be a little bit...uh...theatrical at times, but the visuals are breathtaking.

Recommended to anyone interested in watching a truly magical piece of cinema.

Nope, I've not seen it, I'll check it out. Thanks for the rec.

Less Than Zero (1987). - 7.5/10.

Coming off of just finishing the novel, by Bret Easton Ellis, this is pretty poor. It'd be nice to see someone do a more faithful adaptation of the novel. Worth seeing just for Robert Downey Jr's performance.

I have to watch this one, dammit!

I'm really eager to see what they did with The Informers, especially since previous adaptations of Ellis' work have been pretty faithful, I would say... plus it's Brad Renfro's last performance.

Henry Poole is Here - a quirky indie flick that felt a bit contrived (and a bit sloppy sentimental) but overall was enjoyable. luke wilson gave a great performance and it was one of those films that generally didn't try to do too much and succeeded in its own modest way
