Shutter (2004). Just plain creepy. There was one scene that actually caught me off guard and made me jump. Great flick. Ashe.

I don't recall hating Howard the Duck, but can't much recall anything else about it so for me I guess it wasn't a thing of greatness.

I just saw

Some spoilers here so I'll white-out

Fast and Furious - While it was good to see a "true" sequel to the first one in terms of events and characters, I didn't really like this...actually found it boring in a lot of parts, after the setup, the plot basically consisting of "lets go find this guy, we've gotta go find this guy...etc etc etc". Some nice cars but by comparison to the other films not really. It was ok...the girl will probably end up buying it, I wouldn't otherwise bother.

xmen origins - wolverine
Ok...hated what they did with deadpool, HATED HATED HATED...and cmon, take away HIS mouth? Ridiculous and character spoiling rubbish. This was just terrible. Ryan reynolds about had his character right too...and the thing with his face? WHY? Why couldn't they leave him the bitter, crazy, mush faced self loathing abomination he was meant to be? Instead we got as watered down, brainwashed and altered a character as the "sabertooth" was in x-men 1.
If you want to see a half decent deadpool, watch the animated feature "wolverine vs hulk".
Preferred the portrayal of sabertooth in this film, but was annoyed at there being any kind of decency or honour to him. Just not right.
Gambit was ok, but kept slipping into the wrong accent...and didn't steal a thing...no huge complaints though.
Wolverine - while his "origins" story was briefly visited, his post weapon x rage/animal stage was completely eradicated. He was a ravaging maniacal animal when he escaped, and killed everyone up in there. The old couple substituting for the people (alpha flight for those that means anything to) who actually found him was alright, but at least they could've been there to "show him humanity again" but fuck, they didn't even need to as it turns out.
No berserker rage...if ever there was a time.
Other than the above mentioned, and some time/event/character changes and errors. it wasn't a bad film.
Just, as a fan of the comic, hard to look past THAT much liberty being taken.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a great film, I liked the wolverine I've seen in the prior x-men films more, but hey, Jackman played him as well as usual I guess.
Some good fights, nice stunt coreography, and interesting effects.
While I want to say I didn't dislike this film at all, I will say that I was disappointed, it felt as though someone with no knowledge or love of the comic series stepped in and wrote a pretty long fan-fic...not a bad one, but I don't think it was handled right.

I have higher hopes for the rumoured Magneto origins film.

Just watched the end of 1408. What I saw looked interesting. Might have to watch it from the beginning.

Makes a lot more sense that way. I still thought the ending was stupid though.

The first half hour or so is very promising but, like Miss M, the ending lets it down.

Worth a watch FC, but its a downhill ride.

Apartment Zero. i loved the painful awkwardness of the characters and their interactions, which was made al the more edgy with ultra-close mug-shot camerawork. Pretty good story; seemed a little homo-erotic in a Platonic way. Ending was pretty predictible, and very reminiscent of

***possible spoiler alert***

the classic thriller Psycho. Overall pretty enjoyable, but i sort have a thing for J-flix right now so that may be clouding my judgement. Ashe.

Outlander....suppose to be something like "Beowulf meets Predator"

Not as good as either but pretty entertaining.
