Some might disagree, but I just saw "Seven Pounds" with Will Smith. This is a screenwriting debut for Grant Nieporte.
I honestly didn't know what on earth this film was about for a long while! I felt it was one of the most original screenplays so far. one that tugs at the heart.- Yeh, thought this was a pretty good movie too...fyoucher1
- it's pretty good. i liked it.akrokdesign

just saw this too... incredible.
"Habana: El nuevo arte de hacer ruinas"
translated to: Habana: the new art of making ruins.
50 years of dictatorship, has left the city in ruins... visually and intellectually beautiful.

Just saw Disney Nature's Earth. Its the same footage used in the Discovery Channel's Planet Earth series but I'd estimate there to be about 40% new footage not used in the show.
If you're a fan of the show I found Sigourney Weaver's cold, efficient narration better to the warm, dramatic narration of James Earl Jones but it wasn't bad by any means. Some of the shots were stunning and even better on the big screen.
For those with kids, my child development major girlfriend said it was too scary for anyone younger than 8 due to the hunter/prey scenes but they were pretty much the same ones from the show so if you've seen that you've seen as bad as it can get.
Overall it was worth the ticket and enjoyable.

Went and saw this last week, and to summarise briefly, The Boat That Rocked Did Not Rock. At All.
When a movie is taking you back to a time and a place, they usually spend the first 15 minutes setting the scene, and trying to send you back to that particular time and place, and some movies do it very very well. In the case of this movie, I just wasn't feeling it, and continued to not 'feel it' for the remainder of the film. Even with the likes of Bill Nighy and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the thing.
I walked in there hoping for maybe an 8-9/10, but I'd probably only give it a 5... 6 tops.
Sadly, not recommended.

Yeah, saw Angles and Demons, I must say I was a bit disappointed.
i guess it's a bit hard to top the davinci code and it's conspiracy theory.
anyone else see this?

I also saw Sacred Planet by Disney. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, some beautiful places on earth shot for IMAX.

heard it was underlined with esoteric myth,
yep they were as blatant as a 8 tons elephant standing on high heels,
I wanted to puke when at the end, what a bad movie- and Knowing is half the battleBattleAxe
- A bad movie? With Nicolas Cage in? Well I never!shitehawke

Generally good but the first part is a bit long and repetetive. You have to be patient for an hour when the second part takes off. It makes you want to go visit Portugal.

The Mutant Chronicles
Saw this at the weekend, shonky effects, wooden acting, dodgy Irish accents, predictable and Sean Pertwee was in it. Despite all of that I still found it more entertaining than Wolverine. And its got Ron Perlman in it, which is never a bad thing.
Watch it if you like:
Doomsday, Hellboy, Equilibrium.Avoid it if you like:
The Notebook

Ok, lets try that again:

Saw Transformers 2 last night:
Now I wasn't expecting much from this film and boy, did it deliver none of my expectations. Lots of shonky cgi, a script that consisted in the main of lots of people shouting 'go go go go!' and the occasional shot of Megan Fox's clevage. If you want to feel vaguely sea sick whilst watching something braindead then I cannot recommend this film enough.
