I rented Taken last weekend. I'm not a huge Liam Neeson fan, but this movie rocked and had good acting. Lots of suspense and action.

I didn't like Benjamin Button very much. The movie was predictable and slow, but you kinda had to watch to finish it anyway.

Went to Terminator Salvation tonight. It was pretty good, not what I expected. Some really cool stuff, some hokey stuff. 2 or 3 more in the series and the humans will win. Or Skynet will, one.

The next Transformers movie was one of the previews. EVERY guy was glued to the screen. When the preview ended it was silent. This one dude in the back row yelled out, 'That looks stupid!' Everyone started laughing. The Hangover looks funny.

Saw the hangover yesterday and it was pretty good. Really raunchy, like its drifting into NC-17 territory. Still, I think it could have been better. A friend of mine said it was in his top 3 comedies. No way. It left a lot of potential on the table.

Whuff, whuff, just dusting this one off. I went to District 9 last night. Its a real SciFi movie. I loved it. My buddy didnt like it as much. Super well written. Some of the Computer animation is so good, if those arent people in prawn suits then we have no need for movie actors anymore. Every issue a movie can deal with, racism, corporate greed, poitics, war. Some awesome scenes with alien weaponry too. Great ending too.

Also saw District 9 because it was highly reviewed. I love Sci Fi, but it didn't exactly click for me, like Mr. S said, the tones were different. Kind of like E.T. wasn't about aliens but was instead had themes about government control and cover up and biological testing, then District 9 was about race relations, social welfare, global arms dealings, etc. It moved really fast and all the titles and names in the beginning distracted from the dialogue. Lots of holes for me too. How could they understand the language? Why were the aliens refugees? Part Starship Troopers, part Schindler's List...I'm dissappointed that everyone else loves this movie, but I am left shrugging my shoulders. What am I missing about this movie, why can't I get it? It's somewhere between B and C for me.

Saw an advanced screening of "Inglorious Basterds" tonight. I'm a big Tarantino fan. Awesome flick, one of his best. It was the best movie I've seen this summer. You'll enjoy the story and humor. Tarantino has been writing this thing and working on it since before Kill Bill. Good stuff.

Just got back from Avatar and I gotta tell ya...it was awesome! Got to see it in 3D, which was a nice bonus. It had elements of District 9, Alien, Dances with Wolves, Chronicles of Narnia, Jarhead....I think this movie lands in my top 15 or 20. Basically, in the last decade, outside of the Terminator series, this has been James Cameron's big project since Titanic...he poured a lifetime of work into this movie. Go see it for the stunning visuals if nothing else. It's about 2.75 hours but it's really cool! Romance for the ladies, fight scenes for the guys, and a really good storyline. I'd check out rotten tomatoes for better reviews than mine but for my $.02 it was awesome!
