Timber Falls. Pretty typical backwoods horror that is rather painful to watch yet still alluring cuz ya want to see the baddies get theirs. Altogether, with some decent twists and some icky, self righteous overtones, it was a pretty decent watch. Not sure about that ending-lame or hilarious??? Ashe.

The Dirty Dozen (1967)

Not usually too fond of WWII movies, but this is just flat-out badass. The characters, portrayed by one of the best ensemble casts ever put together, are really what makes the film - lots of laughs throughout, and lots of tension near the end make it an undeniable classic. Great, great movie.

The Last movie I saw in Theaters was the New Friday the 13th. We just rented "Haunting in Conneticut" not long ago and I liked it:-)

District 9- Believe the hype. Great, intelligent film that encompasses horror, social commentary, sci-fi, action and drama. Wonderful lead performance and stunning effects work from Weta. The first film I've seen all summer that I didn't want to end and would have gladly sat through 2 more hours to see more of the story. I really hope a sequel is made. The orgy of destruction that climaxes the film must be seen to be believed.

Pickpocket (1959)



The camera captures pictorial beauty of an abstract world through in depth observation of hands, faces, and objects and where natural sounds rather than music supports to create the atmosphere. And thereby Bresson portrayed a passion of crime not with human psychology but with the capacity of the soul to survive in a world of pain, disbelieve, and restriction.
The amazing railway station sequence, with its extraordinary display of tricks of the trade that seem more magic act than crime and the stylized nature of the sound that always keeps Michel (the protagonist) kind of detached from the world around him are much more thrilling displays of technique. The art of the crime glorified by excellent camera-works and editing, which is nothing less than sheer mastery, you can say a ballet of thievery.
Throughout the film sometimes the acting of the cast, mainly the lead was somewhat flat and expressionless. But there was a deep coldness in this style of performance which makes it surprisingly and ironically acceptable and fits well in the movie.

A pretty decent tribute to the 50's sci-fi classics.

X Men Origins - Wolverine

A pretty good action flick, I don't think you can ask for anything more than this in an X Men movie.

8/10
