I watched a few movies the past week
District 9 - I like that it was original. I get the point of the movie and how it's in South America and it had a hidden meaning. I should probably re-watch it, but I didn't think it was great or anything.
Redbelt - caught this on netflix instant watch, really good. I would recommend that you watch it. Written and directed by David Mamet, who is a really talented writer IMO. Good flick and I loved the ending because most writers would have went with something really cliche. Rent it or those of you with netflix and a 360, watch it instantly.
The Cove - a pretty solid documentary about the dolphin killing in Japan. I liked it and I think there was a thread about it a while back here.
A perfect getaway - fun movie, predictable but enjoyable. Don't expect a brilliant masterpiece and be in a mood to just be entertained and you might like it.
Push - meh
The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard - not great, but worth a rent for a few cheap laughs.
Taking Woodstock - boring, I was expecting a comedy with funnyman Dimitri Martin. But it was a boring ass drama and it wasn't very good at that. Avoid unless you feel like taking a nap.
Green Street Hooligans - it was pretty good. I loved the concept of their gangs, or firms as they call it. Decent acting, worth a watch.
Big Fan - wasn't quite what I was expecting, but it's on netflix instant watch and it was ok. A solid drama, I like those films that only require a few people to act in it. I liked the story, the writing was pretty good. Don't expect to laugh though because it stars a comedian.
