I saw Fast and Furious as well. Lucky I got tickets early because it was sold out by 8 PM. I'd say it was an 8.5/10. It wasn't bad(it was better than 3) but I felt it could have been slightly better. I'm a car guy so this is purely my opinion.

Let the Right One In
8/10
A Swedish romantic vampire film.
No, it's nothing like Twilight.
The cinematography is beautiful in this film, the story seemed a little slow at first but, everything looks so pretty I just didn't really mind.
It's a good dark haunting film, I need to re-watch it soon.

After watching this film, I came to the conclusion that most "professional" critics are a bunch of idiots who probably couldn't tell the difference between their ass and their face. Seriously, this movie was fucking awesome. I started watching the movie with low expectations because of the previously mentioned critics but after watching, I ended up amazed.
This movie had everything. Ninjas, cool characters, great racing and action scenes and beautiful imagery. Also, the effects were spectacular. You guys wouldn't believe how many times I jumped from my seat in excitement. Sure, the movie was a bit predictable and some of the scenes were a bit childish but that's just a small, understandable complain.
On another note, this movie looks amazing in HD. You can clearly see all the details in the cars and tracks. Also, everything is a lot more vivid. Watching this in SD should be a crime.
Amazing movie and highly recommended. This is how you adapt a Japanese series.
Fuck the haters.

The movie succeeds, strangely enough, because you know how it's going to end. Hopefully everyone who went to go see this movie knows that Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his bunker, and was not assassinated by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Cruise) as part of a plot to overthrow Nazi Germany on a single day. So, you know it's going to end badly for the good guys; Hitler, as I understand it, was not the most forgiving of guys. Thankfully, few people in attendance know exactly how Stauffenberg and Operation Valkyrie failed, and Singer is able to twist this lack of knowledge into a smart, suspenseful thriller of a tragedy. You know what's coming, but you don't know when, or how.
I had been worried that Valkyrie would end up being a talky bore, considering that I had never heard of such a major assassination attempt on Hitler before. Luckily, Stauffenberg gets much farther in terms of the attempt and coup than most people would expect, and this makes for a mesmerizing second half as we get to watch the pieces fall into place... and then crumble just as quickly as they came. It's also sad, to think that had one little moment been just a tad more effective, the entire last year of the war could have gone quite differently.
Valkyrie looks and feels like a suspense thriller, and therefore it is. It is not an Oscar-worthy drama and from the beginning, United Artists should have never treated it as such. The movie would have been better as a German film, of course, but Singer has successfully created another exciting, suspenseful movie. Recommended.

10/10!
I've always been a sucker for a good time-travel story.
I'm sure many of you have already seen TokiKake, if you haven't, please watch it.
Amazing story, wonderful characters, and beautiful animation...what more do you need?

What Women Want: 9/10
-1 for the cheesy moments, but other than that, I loved this awesome love/comedy movie with Mel Gibson and digging inside womens' heads.

Star Trek (in theaters) ... impressive reboot, I loved it, top marks 9/10. I'm gonna catch Terminator Salvation next, do a midnight show or Imax first day first show close to Central Park.
Uzumaki (at home) ... for an awesome conceptual horror/ drama manga turned into a live action movie, this was a decent effort, but I wish they made a trilogy out of it rather than cramp everything in one movie - a lot of the greatness of the manga is lost. Overall disappointing, 7/10 for the attempt.
For the movies I've seen that're listed on this page, my opinions - Valkyrie for me was a bit disappointing, expected a bit more somehow. Speed Racer is a perfect example of why critics shouldn't be taken seriously - many people didn't watch it after seeing RT give it a bad rating, I personally love the movie, re-watches et all, under-rated. I loved the subtlety of Let The Right One In ... no cheesiness. XMen Origins was a flat out disappointment - the highlight of the movie was Wolverine's girlfriend, and the gripe I had with the movie was the short screen time for Wolverine's girlfriend!

8.75/10
God this was a good movie. At the begining it was kinda slow, and it didnt really start amazing me until he found the slit in his stomach and accidentally put the gun in it. After that i couldnt get out of the chair for a spilt second, as i was hooked.
The ending seemed kinda lacking, since i was expecting a big fight scene a la Scanners, but nonetheless, it still ended spectacularly.
Another huge plus for this movie is the amazing soundtrack. It really helps fit in with the movie, and was at the same time spooky/catchy.
On a side note, i did lol a bit when i saw James Wood's butt. I have no idea why, but i was also expecting him to say "Ooh a piece of candy" throughout the movie. I think i might need to lay back on the family guy. <>.<>

A really good movie about a husband (Brad) and wife (Lexi) during a terrorist attack on L.A., it's one of those movies that you have no expectations of when you start to watch it, i hadn't even heard about it tbh, but turn out to be a real awesome flick.
The plot is basically that after Lexi has gone to work Brad hears about an explosion in the area Lexi is supposed to take to work on radio, shortly after reports about more explosions surfaces and it seems that the explosions are made by called "Dirty-bombs" forcing the military to quarantine most of L.A. while residents needs to seal themselves up in their homes not to become infected by the toxic clouds that's starting to spread (The whole gritty vibe just feelt like a zombie movie tbh).
Brad waits as long as he can for Lexi to comeback, hoping that she hasn't died, but is at last forced to seal his house shut, leaving Lexi, if she's still alive, trapped outside in the infected area.
One of the best things about it imo is that you never really get any information about what's going on, only the random emergency brodcasts the main character hears on the radio.
The beginning of the movie kinda reminded me of the beginning of the Dawn of the Dead remake, the same eerie feeling of no one knowing what's going on.
The ending was somewhat of a twist too, and that's always a good thing.
Highly recommended flick.
-9/10-

I watched Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Sakebi last night. I'm a big fan of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's other works - Rofuto, Ghost Cop, Doppelganger, Kairo, Cure (the last two especially). In this one, he uses his favorite actor Koji Yakusho who's a lonely, depressed cop and a series of murders take place, to which there's too much of a commonality. It's more of a Horror/ Thriller, and Kurosawa makes sure it's devoid of cheesiness. I'd rate it 8/10.

Last movie I watched was: "Resident evil: degeneration"
When I first saw the trailer, I was really looking forward to it, since it was capcom that was making it. So, I knew from the start that at least the story would be relevant to the actual game unlike the other ones they made (oh god the 3rd was awefull...)
After watching it though, I felt somewhat dissapointed for some reason...I dunno why...I guess the hype of the trailer got to me. I guess that I judged from the trailer that things were gonna happen a certain way..and it didn't. Still, for any RE fan, A MUST WATCH.
8/10
And if your one of those goddamn idiots that decides to watch this without having played the games first then complain about how stupid it was and how nothing made sense and all that, then fuck you. It's cause of people like you that movies like "resident evil: apacolypse" are created and don't follow the game series. I know everyone's entitled to their opinion but seriously, to like that movie, you must have never played the games or if you did then your able to accept how different it is from them and how it barely follows anything

Classic horror films are great, this one's from 1968, quite an oldie... I guess it's true, they really don't make 'em like they used to.

Don't go see this movie! It plays out all of its good jokes n/ punch lines through its trailers. Wait til it comes out on dvd, don't download it. In my opinion, this isn't worth the time like its effort. The waynes brothers made scary movie 1+2 funny, but this, they were off their game.

I was a disappointment tbh, we barely got to see any of the war at all..
I've always imagined that the Terminator movies that was gonna take place during the war was gonna be something like the snippets you got to see during the 3 first movies, instead we got something not quite as interesting which i can't reveal due to it being a rather large spoiler, but like i said, i didn't really find it interesting at all (and the "twist" wasn't really hard to figure out).
We didn't get to see any T-800's either (boooo!), in fact, we didn't really see any robots having that classic look at all, again, disappointment...
The story was also littered with plot holes, im usually pretty lenient towards that kind of stuff, but in this movie it was just stupid.
Like how Skynet's base in LA is being hyped up as some über fortress where no one can survive, yet people seem to come and go however they please...
But even if if was a big disappoinment it still was pretty enjoyable i guess, it had nice effects and all that shit, and the arnold cameo made me lol (lol cg).
I'll give it a 3/5.
