I'm not a fan of Japanese horror at all, quite frankly.

that was awful. a couple good action scenes, but otherwise awful. this director has certainly made an improvement with Taken.

Babysitter Wanted (2008)



I don't know what to say...it was a peculiar plot! Started almost like When a Stranger Calls but an unpredictable twist at midway turns the movie into entirely a different direction...the movie veers into a supernatural angle and then comes torture & cannibalism parts with high content of gore & flesh and finally ends like a survival horror flick that also left room for sequels too. :confused: [:D ]

Overall, I'd say it was a nice fun ride indeed. Keep an open mind before going to watch it...you'd either like it a lot or may throw the dvd out of your collection.;)

Changeling (2008)

Very touching & beautiful.

Whaaaaaaaa? David Belle and Bibi were awesome, one of my favorite action flicks from the past few years for sure.

Capote


2nd time Ive seen this and, like the first, I hesitated putting it on as I had the thought 'couldnt be arsed watching this shit'. Just like the first time I was glued to the tv, quality film.

It feels like an unappealling film to watch to me but well worth a viewing to those who haven't.

In Cold Blod was always wierd to me, becasue my family is from Garden City, Ks and my dad knew the Clutter family. My family was never fond of "that little faggot" as my grandpa would call Capote. They didn't like how he made the killers seem like humans.

If you liked that film, try INFAMOUS

same story (essentaily) but told better and with better performances. Toby Jones plays Capote perfectly and Daniel Craig is Perry Smith.

Nice one, will certainly check that one out.

Theres a film critic I regularly listen to on BBC radio 5, Mark Kermode, who said the same thing about Infamous being better than Capote but id forgotten until you mentioned it.



X-men 3: The Last Stand

Certainly the weakest of the series but still an enjoyable film. My pro Wolverine bias may be altering my judgement though.


Rambo: First Blood Part II

Does exactly what it says on the tin
