I just saw The Darwin Awards (2006) last night on Star Movies. It was surprisingly entertaining. I mean, with the star-studded cast alone it was kind of hard not to watch. I give it a 7. I recommend others to go see it -- once is more than enough though.

Transformers - I give it an 7.5. I really liked the graphics, but the story/acting could probably have been done better.

I love odd movies - especially those that play on the Sundance and IFC channels on directv.

Saw a very disturbing yet good movie called "12 and holding" about a group of 12 year olds that deal with death, sexual development, and a host of other pre-teen issues. Very well done.

Oh crap - just realized this was about DVDs.

2001: A Space Odyssey, after a similar Rob Ager series of reviews as I posted above. I just had to watch it again after seeing this:

I'll review the last movie we paid to see, 3:10 to Yuma.

I would give it a 7. Good cowboy flick, they don't make too many anymore. Kinda slow storyline, but Russell Crowe was funny!

Theater -

"The Savages" - "7" I like Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman, but I got tired of them as fussing siblings in this movie - in spite of the humor.

DVD -

"Matthew Barney: No Restraint" - "10" A documentary on the making of his movie "Drawing Restraint 9" with Bjork and background on his other work. He's an interesting artist.

ilovethatrecipe

Basically I watched most of the movie.

Golden Compass 9/10 -> Really like it, but is too short.

I am Legend 7/10 -> I agree with dreesyach . Its confusing

Alien Vs Predator 2 4/10 -> Suck... There is only 1 predator VS thousand of aliens...

National Treasure 2 -> 7/10 -> Not bad . Interesting. But the plot is somehow similar to part 1

Planning to watch
Le Grand Chef (Korean Movie)
Kung fu Dunk (Jay Chou)

Watched "The Arrival" last night. 2.5 of 5 stars.

But I do appreciate the absurdity that is Charlie Sheen.

Henry Fool, on DVD. I'd give it an 8/10, and odds are, depending on whether Hal Hartley's style sits well with you, it's something of a love it or hate it film. It's certainly very different, as art house cinema goes, anyway, with a strong cast, and intriguing characters and plot. More thoughtful than most movies, with a cutting, humorous edge beneath the story and dialogue.

Butterfly and Sword (8). It's a lower budget Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and a little bit better in my view.

Just like the last reader I saw The Dark Night. I'm not typically a batman or superhero fan but this one was good. I give it a 9. I would've gave it a 10 but I did not see the end because lightning struck and the movie theature lost power. It was at the most convenient time too, right before the final Joker battle.

The Dark Knight. I would recommend it - a 9 out of 10. What is funny, our theater lost power during the movie too... but power was soon restored and I did get to see it all (the power outage was a good popcorn refill break )

"forbidden Kingdom" with Jackie Chan and Jet Li. First time those two marital arts legends have appeared together in a movie.

My ratings:
~out of all the marital arts movies I've seen to date: 9/10
~out of all the movies I've seen to date: 7/10

But since I really like martial arts movies that up it to 9.5/10

Entertaining enough, but not something I'd usually pick for myself. I'd give it a 7.

Wall-E
I nearly feel asleep during the dialogue-free first half hour or so. After that it was cute.

I'd give it a 5.

Mr. Brooks, with Kevin Costner and Demi Moore. Good flick, very interesting, but not great. Demi's character and Kevin's seem very disconnected. All the parts are there but they don't add up to a totally satisfying whole. I would recommend it, with reservations. It's pretty violent and has a couple of sexual scenes - don't watch it with small kids.

OTOH, we watched XMen 2 last night and really enjoyde it. I just have to suppress the violent urge to hold down Hugh Jackman and shave those creepy sideburns off his face.. LOL
