movie 1 0208.png
Rambo.
I hated it. It's a bad video game movie. With all do respect, I Iove Stallone, but this one didn't really work for me. Its a "bordering shit" movie.

movie 2 0208.png
Juno.
I LOVED it. The dialogue's smart and quirky, worth watching. My favorite line in the movie: That ain't no etch & sketch.

movie 3 0208.png
Atonement.
Found the beginning very Jane Austen like. Who can blame them, its from the film maker that did pride and prejudice. Never dug that. But, Loved the story, I was absolutely absorbed. My favorite part: When James McAvoy sat down in the restaurant, next to Keira Knightley, there was a silent, long gaze out the window. It pretty much summed everything up.

movie 4 0208.png
No Country for Old Men.
Wow, I saw violence being taken to a whole new level. My heart had been jolted from scene to scene, and I'm not the type of guy that have that often with violent movies. Rambo was just as bloody and gory, but guess what, its like... decades behind this one. Very dramatic, very neat portrayals of the main characters, Javier Bardem deserves an Oscar for his performance. Loved the beginning part of the film, sets the mood for a stark, harsh country. Favorite part: When Josh Brolin stepped back into the clothing store with boots and hospital gawn.

movie 5 0208.png
There Will Be Blood.
I find this one interesting, in the sense that the story hid the conflict between characters in the beginning and slowly they emerged just like... you guessed it, oil. a bit long, but I liked it.

Jumper.
Traveled around the world with the movie, well, barely. I'm a bit disappointed, it lacked Bourn Identity's intrigue because it didn't set up a whole lot of intrigue, once you know the guy jumps around, then... you pretty much know the rest of the movie. Also... wasn't there someone that could already do that in Xmen? This is such a kids movie.
