From someone who doesn't read the comics I'm thinking, "Ok, what makes her so special? Why does she get to be an Avenger with those guys?" By "underutilized" I really meant "I didn't see a whole lot of proof of her strength, so I'm not sure why she was there"... Then again, I think she was a bit more badass than Hawkeye.
Ok that makes sense. They way i looked at it though, i didnt see her as a part of The Avengers. I saw The Avengers as Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor and Hawkeye and Black Widow where just members of shield who were there along for the fight like Maria Hill. That's why i thought it worked the way they were used, just secondary characters/superheroes that helped out like Bucky Barnes in Captain America, Rhodes/War Machine in Iron Man, Thor's human friends in Thor and many other supporting characters that appear in superhero movies. They don't take center stage but they do play a part. Could they have been taken out of the movie without much consequence? Sure but there was a few small significant things that they did so i was fine with it. I can understand your points though.

I liked it a lot too (not as much as the original though) - the only thing I didn't like was the ending.

The Cup

Fucking terrible Australian horse racing movie, a friend of mine was an extra in it so thought I would give it a watch, also the lead actor is great "Steven Curry", but otherwise, the worst score, and the story just blows. I hate horse racing.

2/10

Night of the bloody apes

pretty good for the gore, but not much story.

5/10

The boys

One of the darkest looks at Australian suburbia you will ever see, I just revisited this classic from 98 tonight, picked up a copy on dvd at a sale this morning.

This movie is bleak and uncompromising, it leaves you feeling vulnerable and naked. The score by the necks is just haunting.

10/10

Really? I liked the ending; made me tear up (being the big sap that I am).

I'll have to see if I can get my hands on the original; thanks for the heads up.

Let The Right One In- Awesome, albeit a bit slow at some points.

Case 39- Nothing amazing but it wasn't that bad. I did wonder why she didn't just beat the girl to death with a baseball bat the entire time, though.

I almost FF it but I had heard good things about it from some trustworthy people so I really wanted to see the entire thing.

The Mangler (1995) cheesy so bad it's good OTT fare from Tobe Hooper about a demonic laundry mangler! Based on a short story by Stephen King and features Robert Englund in a memorable performance. It does drag a little at times as you feel a little like once it's built up to it's centerpiece scene it takes a while to get going again. But worth sticking with because it is a demented and a fun slice at nonsense gore.
