Like Crowe, Cage looks dazed, confused and wooden.

Saw Kick-Ass last night. Very cool movie! I didn't realise it was based off an actual comic. 8.5/10

Iron Man 2: Not overly impressed... pretty much lost the whole feel of the first movie, much as too many sequels do... to that end only 6/10... Mickey Rourke turned in a decent performance, although his character was under utilised... this coulda been a much darker movie had they chosen to actually think about the plot...

Pretty much agree with you. Needed to be grittier and a little more serious. Damn Scarlett looked fine. She made Gwyneth look a little over the hill.

Saw Avatar for the first time last night. Watched it on BluRay. Fucking amazing film. The CG was photorealistic. I don't see how CG can get any better.

Pretty much agree too, would give it probably a 6.5 to possibly a 7 at a stretch. Maybe a 7 coz of all the mint cars and Scarlett was mega hot!

Agreed about Scarlett and Gwyneth, it might have made it a more interesting movie if it were darker and grittier as mentioned but the lack of seriousness of the main character was part of the charm of the first movie, meh, whatever. It was a perfectly fine way to kill a couple of hours anyway.

Well I thought it was pretty damn good, could use a bit more action though. Up there in sequel-awesomeness with Boondock saints two, and transformers two, to name some recent ones

Gran Torino - boring, predictable, over-acted. But cool car and over-all feel-good type movie. 6/10

Iron Man 2 - shoot me next time ACDC do the whole sound track for a movie. This movie had no ambience unlike the first. However it was not bad - and the acting was surprisingly good. Plot was what you expect - which is actually good in this instance. 7/10

Avatar 3D - cool effects (look up MASSIVE Software by the way), fail everywhere else. 6/10

We need the following into movies:
"Hiroshima" - John Hersey
"Quake movie"
"Atlas Shrugged" - Ayn Rand
"Bioshock movie"
"Rowan of Rin" - Emily Rodda. (for the kids)
"Oldboy 2" see oldboy 1 info here
