The adjustment bereau.

It was "ok". Some interesting concepts but in all honest the characters were hard to bother about...Damon seemed a bit flat in this one...it kept me watching, but at no point did I feel as though it were either exciting or all that atmospheric.

I liked the story enough, though I thought that the film was confused as to whether or not it was sci-fi or drama, rather than blending the two together all that well.

Silent Hill. Boring and idealost imo... Haven't played the games so I guess that's why.

Good movie but i like interesting and compelling villains and Scorpio was too annoying and over the top for me.

Agreed. Loved it. Incredibly creepy and atmospheric... And if you're a cryptozoology nut, the movie is especially interesting. Makes me want to see it again...

I thought Cube 2 was actually a good watch if you like the cube series... Like *good* sequels it built off of the first one (introducing the concept of the hypercube). The acting and script are a bit weak, but I went into it expecting it to be terrible... And I actually enjoyed it.

Silent Hill was great... Loved the direction, make up, and art design. Definitely has some creepy moments... I thought the end was weak, but it was an enjoyable enough journey getting there that I didn't really mind.

The beginning was boring, badly written and acted. It went on a little too long but established the two main characters well enough. They used a strange camera style that didnt make any sense at parts as it would show footage of the girls talking on their phones to each other but showed their faces as if they carried their computers around everywhere so they could skype on the go. Also im pretty sure skype doesnt save your conversations, if they do im not using skype anymore.

The last 20 minutes or so is when everything actually happened and due to some realistic acting, there were parts that were slightly disturbing. Nothing that will stick with me though.

Could've been better without the unrealistic recorded coversations and the lame fake news stories. Not terrible but not really good either. Comes across as more of a public awareness video for internet safety then it does a movie until the end when it goes all torture porn.

Take Me Home Tonight

I wasn't expecting much from this one but was pleasantly surprised. The best comedy I've seen so far this year. Great mix of laughs/drama (so many comedies fail at this but this flick nailed it) with a likeable cast. Might be a bit to subtle for those looking for dick and fart jokes but I thought this was solid.

The Company Men

I got bored and couldn't care less where the story was heading so I tuned out. Might try to watch it again sometime not so late at night.

No Strings Attached

Utter fucking SHIT. Ashton Kutcher must be the most typecasted actor working today (well aside from Danny Dyer). Funny Mothman Prophecies got mentioned it's the only thing I've liked with him in it. Ivan Reitman has put out some great stuff over the years but this isn't one of his better efforts. Dull, overlong and not very funny.
