I havent watched enough movies lately, I think I've watched like 21 since the start of the year, most of them in the first few weeks of January. I'm going into withdrawal.

January:Hillside Cannibals - Horrible/10

That was one of the Cheap DVD's from Woolworths, wasn't it? My brother said it was terrible too.

Yeah, I picked it up with Nightmare Hostel and some Hardy Boys DVD. The Hardyz one is decent, the other two are just ridiculously bad.

8 out of 10 for Fracture????

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I mean, I saw the twist coming from a mile away, but I love Gosling and Hopkins so I just enjoyed the acting throughout.

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End - 8/10 (FUN)

Disagree about Donnie Brasco, I think its a very underrated film that shows Depp's scope and range as an actor. However, I definately agree about Straightheads, absolutely horrible movie.

I've been playing through Burnout Paradise, just got my B License. I sucked at first, and everything was really overwhelming, but I've got the hang of it now and its tons of fun.

Rush Hour 3 - Nowhere near as good as the first two, it moves along too fast from scene to scene and the story is pretty lame. Still fun, and has some cool fight scenes, but overall disapointing.

I have just finished watching Reign Over Me starring Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler in a uncommon serious role. The story tells the tale of Alan Johnson (Cheadle), a succesful New York dentist who runs into his college room mate Charlie (Sandler) who he hasn't seen in years. Charlie has lost his wife and 3 daughters in one of the planes used in the 9/11 attacks and has pretty much become an extremely intoverted recluse. Charlie has managed to "forget" everything that has happened in his past and so when he runs into Alan he doesn't recognise him. The film follows Alan's efforts to help Charlie deal with his issues and get some professional help.Although this film doesn't sound like a bunch of laughs I though it was a very powerful and imotive piece of cinema. The two leads were fantastic especially Sandler and it was nice to see him play away from his normal roles. The soundtrack was used as part of the story (they are all songs that Charlie has on vinyl or on his Ipod) and it supplies some cracking tunes, even Bruce Springsteen gets a few tunes in there.I really can't recommend this film enough, I thought it was fantastic.

That film is fantastic, really underrated, and easily Sandler's best role yet. I was welling up near the end during the court case, when Charlie finally breaks down. Such a good film, and the use of music is brilliant.

This is actually the second time I have seen this film and both times there have been 2 scenes that always get to me. It's the initial scence outside the shrinks office where Charlie first talks to Alan about his family (great acting by Sandler, the director uses a lot of lengthy shots just on him and the emotion he portrays is heartbreaking) and the scene where Charlie goes back into the hearing and speaks to his wife's mother and father. That bit where he kisses her on the cheek and then leaves is great as well. One of very few films recently that has made me well up. Awesome flick.

I agree, both of those scenes were brilliantly acted and the scene you mentioned at the end, when he goes back into the hearing, is my favorite of the entire film.

Such a good film, and the use of music is brilliant.I just watched Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2, both are good but not great. The one major gripe I had was in the second one, they're in LA, go down into the tunnel then suddenly end up in Las Vegas? That was pretty ridiculous, and it was obvious the director took some storytelling liberties just to quickly move the plot along. But aside from some silly plot holes, the films were really fun, and Chris Tucker was hilarious in the sequel.

I haven't really been keeping up- would Daniels or Low Ki be possibilities for AOTF? Ki is supposedly done with TNA again and Daniels is meant to be working indies to sell the whole firing angle...

I really doubt Low Ki, last I heard about him was that he's signed with NJPW.

Wrong Turn 2: Dead End - A bunch of stereotypical characters, but some awesome gore, sweet make-up effects and some unpredictable, surprising deaths. Just an all-around fun movie. Oh, and who doesn't love a film where Henry fucking Rollins blows up an old man?

 

8/10

Currently playing Assassin's Creed, which has really dissapointed me, and I'm trying to complete Rainbow: Six Vegas just to tide me over untill Burnout Paradise is released.

So is the 'Vince is dead' storyline gonna carry on after tonight? Or is it finished?

Rest In Peace Chris BenoitI'm shocked, angry and most of all, upset. Earlier today Chris Benoit and his family (including former WCW manager/valet Woman) were found dead at their home. I feel as though part of my love for pro-wrestling has gone alongside Benoit. He was truly a great of the business.This is just so upsetting. I am in so much shock I cannot even talk about how un-fortunate the timing is, what with the Vince storyline and all. The fact that his whole family have gone... the fact that he was supposed to win a world championship just last night... the fact that he has a son in Canada who is now fatherless... all of it makes me sick. I will always remember Benoit as one of the best in the world. The great thing about him is that he could do whatever you wanted him to do... he was a brilliant sports-entertainer, a brilliant worker, and most of all, a brilliant wrestler.I will never forget your fueds and matches with Jericho, Guerrero, Chavo, Rey, Michaels, Triple H, Regal, RVD and many more. One of my favourite moments in the history of pro-wrestling is a Chris Benoit moment
