I'm tempted to say 300 but I'm not certain.  I didn't bother with Dark Night Returns or  Iron Man last year.  However, I'm enough of a fanboy, the only question is will I wait for the DVD before seeing Watchmen or will I splurge and see it in the theaters Friday.

I watched First Daughter and The Hot Chick this afternoon. Both were horrible, although the second made the first seem Oscar-worthy.

Mulholland Dr.

I didn't know anything about the film before I watched it; I'm not sure I know anything about the film after watching it.

I managed to solve it while watching it, but I'm good at solving mysteries (I find it a lot easier than "interpreting" for instance). Most people are bewildered though.

If you want to think about the key is to consider the inconsistencies in the movie (such as some characters changing their names, etc). Then you just think logically of what could explain those inconsistencies.

Slumdog Millionaire

Better than I expected, actually. A little too sentimental at times, perhaps. The end dialogue was pretty bad. The idea that a couple should drop silly lines and then kiss at the end of a movie is annoying. Just let them kiss! Anyway, it's a story not usually told and it was told well. I don't have a problem with it being an Oscar winner, even if it wouldn't have been my first choice.

Män som hatar kvinnor (Men Who Hate Women)

Also better than expected. Based on a recent best-selling Swedish novel. Enjoyable detective story which involved brutal BDSM-scenes and radical national socialism.

Outside of cinemas: The Island of Lost Children (or at least I think that was the English version of the title)

French film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (who directed Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulin). Very surreal, very funny, completely insane. There were some moments where you felt that this was a film made a little too fast, with a little lacking competence, but it made up for it with its originality. Reminiscent of these Japanese films like Spirited Away in its style (although this was not animated).

The only problem is that Rourke deserved it even more.

Trees Lounge-good, not great

The Seventh Sign-meh.  Demi Moore naked is enough to take the "suck" out of any movie though.

Friend of mine rented Tropic Thunder, and I watched it with her.  I didn't recognize Tom Cruise until she said, "I f**king hate Tom Cruise."  Really liked the movie.

Frankly, what they did to Cruise in terms of makeup was even more impressive than what they did to Robert Downey Jr.



Does that look like Tom Cruise to you?

Watchmen.

Way better than the bit of the graphic novel I read, it was very intense and stylish, despite the plot being kind of disjointed, and Nite Owl looking like Rick Santorum.

The Lucky Ones.

What could've been a rather charming story was kind of wrecked by the fact that it could't really decide if it wanted to be a comedy or drama. Plus the soundtrack was super-annoying, it was like something from an early 80s sitcom. Still there were some great performances from Tim Robbins, Michael Pena and Rachel McAdams.
