GI Joe- Rise of the Cobra

I enjoyed this better than I thought I would. For an over the top action movie it's not bad.

However, it did feature some of the most unconvincing Scottish accents I have ever heard.

I'd expect such from a Sommers film. :cool: I'm still waiting to see it sometime, since I loved the Mummy movies so much (minus the third-- ick...).

Just finished watching The Dark Knight. Pretty entertaining movie. Kept me awake despite there being a lot of dialogue and not much action. I had high expectations for this film, though the film didn't exactly reach them. Not something I'd jump at the chance to watch again, though, still, I found it to be a very, very good movie. Perhaps I would have found it more interesting if I was a bigger fan of Batman.

I watched Terminator Salvation on TV earlier, (really only because I remembered that Sam Worthington was in it.)

I think I see the Dark Knight in the same way as many critics see Avatar. I recognise it as a good movie but am a bit bemused by why it was so popular comapred other movies that went before.

Of course part of my problem is that I am a very lukewarm fan of batman at best.

I didn't really like the movie. However, not because the movie was bad, but because the post-apocalyptic word represented in the movie did not coincide with my perception of how that word would look when i watched T1 and T2.

The world was all wrong from my pov, and thus didn't appeal to me.

I suppose The Dark Knight did so well because of the large fanbase. To me, it was just another Batman movie; a very well made one, though not something spectacular or mind-blowing like Avatar. It may have been a more enjoyable movie if my expectations weren't so high.

Nah, The Dark Knight is up there in my top 10. I thought it was fantastically good... But then, I'm a Batman fan. :P I hated "Batman & Robin", though. Ick.

Last movie: Robin Hood. Not bad. Very different; very accurate with the history; not all about the ole' hero we know to "take from the rich and give to the poor"; more like "Robin Begins" (in reference to "Batman Begins" ;)). I liked it.

American Pie 2

Superbad :P

just came back from watching The Losers, KICK ASS MOVIE :D lots of action

If you like reeaally historically accurate stuff, that's the movie to see. :cool: Don't expect it to be the normal story you usually think of when you think of Robin Hood. ;)

Although I've been thinking about seeing "The Losers" as well. :P

I want to see both films. The last movie I saw (which was last night) was The Black Stallion. One of my favorite films as a kid (lol, typical girl in a horse phase), and seeing it again at 23, it's still good :).

"[Caroll] Ballard's film, tautly edited by Robert Dalva and lushly photographed by Caleb Deschanel, has become one of the pinnacle achievements of family entertainment. Intelligent, simplistic, moving, and inspiring, it is a brilliant example of cinema's ability to be effective without relying on dialogue to tell the story" -rottentomatoes.com

^Well that's something I gotta see, then! :)

Last was "Lady in the Water"... cried at the end; it just gets to me, I don't care how many people hated it. I loved it.

EDIT: Last was "Lady in the Water"... again; finished just now. Cried even more this time; still got tears in my eyes.
