Definitely Shaun of the Dead IMO. I really really liked Zombieland, but Shaun of the Dead is just too awesome

I saw Japanese sci-fi movie Assault Girls. I like it.

I watched Pride and Prejudice yesterday, as well as Persuasion. Along with Pride and Prejudice (The Mini-Series) they are my two favorite Jane Austen book to movie adaptations.
I love both of them. Persuasion (the book and the movie) contain one of the most beautiful love letters ever written in literature. No one talks like that anymore...and that's sad.
I am now watching Shergar, a movie about the Irish thoroughbred. Can't wait for Secretariat to come out in October.

Hmm...just finished Shergar and then went to read about the real horse. I didn't like the movie. It was based on a true story, yes...but it took complete liberty with the events. Now granted, there are probably only a few people who actually know what happened with Shergar, and few stories have come out. But like I said, I believe this movie to be mostly fictional.
This movie got one thing right, however. There was no happy ending for the horse. In real life it was said that after the IRA didn't get their ransom they shot him to death...with a machine gun. Not a fun story, not a happy story. I would not recommend this movie.Comment

The 2004 Thomas Jane version of The Punisher. I quite liked it, actually. Reminded me of an 80s action movie in its style and its dark humour. I just wish he'd kept the Punisher vest that he'd made on for the final showdown with Travolta."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

The Losers
When you account for the fact that it's a comic book movie, while A: There are a LOT of explosions and B: parts are cheesy, it's a pretty awesome film. Just remember that it's a comic book movie.
Great film, seriously. And it's nice to see Jeffery Dean Morgan in another comic book film, even if this one is on the opposite end of the spectrum from Watchmen. Chris Evans did a surprisingly awesome job as Jensen, and the rest of the cast was fantastic. The bad guy was a touch overacted, IMO, but he's a comic book bad guy. Overacting is a requirement.

Daredevil. Not quite so bad as I remember, but pretty damn boring. Colin Farrell was frelling awful, though.
Now I'm starting up Elektra, which I never bothered seeing in the first place.
edit; even Jennifer Garner looking all kinds of hot couldn't save this disaster. Seriously, what the hell did I just watch?Last edited by DigiFluid; 26 July 2010, 10:31 PM."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

Spoiler:
Was pretty intriguing as a concept. Fast paced, lots of action, some surprises. Could be rewatched.

Just finished watching Jackie Chan's Who Am I, well worth it, silly at times too, but then again its Jackie Chan so why not some outragous silliness?!
Currentl;y in the middle of LOTR extended edition of Return of the King, an oldie but goody, and well worth it!
Next up is The Sword with Adam Cheng, made in 1980, a well made Chinese movie. Best part is I'm watching when I waken!
This is the Assassin's Way part 17 complete

Snabba Cash. Best thriller I've seen in a long time. Brilliant preformances from all the actors, excellent script, and beautifuly directed. I can see why Daniel Espinosa (the director) was once considered for the directors chair for the new X-Men movie. I have no confidence at all in the American remake, which will star... wait for it..... Zac Efron. Hollywood will probably ruin another fantastic movie.sigpicComment

Kill Bill, Vol 1.
It's Tarantino with Uma Mother****in' Thurman in the lead role. That's recommendation enough.~ When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take back the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am?
