Sunshine Cleaning - Not bad. I like Amy Adams and Emily Blunt.

Brendan Gleeson is excellent in that. Standout performance.

The Strangers is a fairly uncomfortable 90 minutes.

That works in its favor.

monsters vs aliens , great cgi graphics .

cool robot , awesome scenes . not too annoying characters , most of the kid animated movies get on my nerves with the yelling and stuff that isnt funny but is supposed to be .

i want to go back and rewatch iron giant , that was awesome .
the finished product is just the garbage left over from doing the work.

Crank 2 was a blast. Like a cross between Grand Theft Auto and Tetsuo: the Iron Man

Iron Giant is my youngest son's favourite animated film. He's four and saw Howl's Moving Castle last night and it nearly took the top spot.

Are we talking i-Robot/Minority Report nothing special here?
i.e. Looks good, but is basically an action movie?

Yeah, I thought Harrison did a fine job adapting two novels into one miniseries. I'd love to see his take on God Emperor, but I'm guessing the Sci Fi channel is more into gay-ass vampire bullshit these days.

Yeah, on the level of I-Robot. I liked Minority Report a little more than both, perhaps because it's based on Philip K Dick

So, being as I'm a fan of neither I, Robot nor Minority Report, I can pretty much ignore Surrogates, yes?

Drag Me To Hell was very bland-
Evil Dead with a mall chick instead of Ash

Watched Observe and Report again
Something about that film puts me in a great mood- I'm buying it tonight
