Probably. I haven't really bothered analysing performances that much, I figure it's the sort of film that would fall to pieces if deconstructed but for a mostly mindless couple of hours, it's good

Saw three today!
Quarantine Superb. Had me on the edge of the seat with my hands virtually cupped over my eyes for the entire thing. The only gripe was that the ending was utter ****. 6/10 (Would have been a 8-9/10 with a better ending) Zack & Miri make a Porno Funny as hell. Quite a lot of boobs too, which is always a good thing Nice storyline to it, which was executed very well. 8.5/10 Max Payne All I have to say about this is WTF? 2.5/10

We watched this and the instance it started I said "oh God... this is going to be a Cabin Fever in water isn't it?"... but due to being a true story we perserveered and wanted to see what happens.
Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read! I hear you here lady!! The first thing Picky and I said was "if you can't reach the deck, make a rope". Five hours later they figure this one out.... and then send a whopping huge muscle man up it!! EGITS! As for the woman swimming to shore - I was a bit WTF esque too... but apparently Picky felt she was aware of her fate. Still she's an idiot. The whole ending too - we see the dude is on the deck face down (we don't know if he's dead but he's not moving). Now tbh, if he was dead, how the heck did she get him on board? It was a stormy night, he's 5 times the size of her and if he did drown, her jumping in, dragging him to the ladder, pulling him on board... well it just isn't going to happen. Stupido. End Spoiler Alert! Thing is... it wasn't as bad as Deep Blue. Deep Blue... was worse than Cabin Fever. Based on a true story buuuut.. Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read! ... the only thing true from the film is the beginning when they go off on a boat with scuba people and get left behind!! I cannot believe that I watched the WHOLE of Deep Blue of which 95% of it consisted of the two people in the water/their fights with sharks and storms etc.... only for them both to die. I mean HOW DID THEY KNOW THESE THINGS HAPPENED IF NO BODIES WERE RECOVERED AND THEY BOTH DIED!! N00bs!! End Spoiler Alert! ... was awful. Quote:

Millers Crossing
Great acting, great script, great direction, great story in theory but... was there any point to it all? I just felt like all of the bad things that happened could have been easily avoided and the outcome was that things were worse than when they had started. I wanted to love this film all the way through, however i couldn't help but feel there was little point in the whole thing. 8/10 Needs a proper rating after a rewatch i feel.

The Dark Knight.
Finally got around to watching this and wasn't dissapointed. Heath Ledger creaped me out, his portrayal of The Joker was brilliantly done and kept to the comics idea of him. The ending though made it for me, my mum and sister were in tears at the end with the speech from Gary Oldman, have to say it was very moving. 9.5/10 Wanted. Agree with Haly, good fun and watchable, would happily sit down and watch it a few more times. The bullets curving was pretty awesome. Also agree about Morgan Freeman, while a good performance not one of his best by a long shot. 8/10 |

Absolutely classic Western movie and one of the first DVD's I bought. But Clint is a legend, both Actorially and Directorially. It's often a beautiful sight when both come together (such as Bridges of Madison County and this of course). |

I did however really like Wanted and the fact that Morgan Freeman was in it was a plus even if he was too reserved, and arguably, too good, for that role, he's my favourite actor and I can't hold it against him. Edit: On the topic of Open Water 2... I can't believe they made a sequel! The first movie is THE worst I've ever seen. I honestly couldn't give it 1 out of 10 as everything that makes a good movie clearly eluded the director, writers and producers of this movie monstrosity.

I'm tempted to pick up Open Water tonight just to see how bad it is
