movies I watched..

In Bruges
Colin Farrel, Brendan Gleeson, Ralph fiennes.
Fantastic movie. This is a movie that you will either love or you will hate. I loved it to the core. Each character is well etched and the story well told.
MUST WATCH !

Dark Knight
Heath Ledger Rocks!
Finally Christopher Nolan has managed to get batman the cult status it deserves. A big Batman fan, I hated all previous movies, until Batman Began :)
obvious must watch.

The Bank Job
Jason Statham
A true story. This fast paced thriller about a bank robbery is a good weekend watch :)

Wall-E
Decent animation movie, I am not a big Sci-fi fan but still enjoyed this movie, just felt it was a little over rated on IMDB though.

3:10 to Yuma
Christian Bale and Russel Crowe in this western is about a poor cattle herder(Bale) who has lost his leg in the civil war and is struggling to save his land & cattle from a local landlord.
With a point to prove about his abilities to his son, he gets his opportunity to do so, by escorting the wild west's most wanted outlaw (Russel Crowe in an interesting casting) to a train (the 3:10 to Yuma).
I liked this movie :) Good characterisation and great action.
Watch out for some wonderful acting by Ben Foster and some more great casting in form of Gretchen Mol (siiigghhhh) as Bale's wife.

Smart People
umm well this movie has got Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker (who I think looks like a horse, an ugly one at that) and Ellen Page (Who I do not like either), so not a movie I liked too much :)

Sleuth
Micheal Caine and Jude Law, are the only actors in this movie about a novelist(Caine) and his wife's lover(Law). Who play mind games with each other.
The movie started pretty well, but somewhere in the middle it turned into a boring horrible act.

Oxford Murders
Elijah Wood plays a student to John Hurt as they set about solving a series of murders in oxford.
The only thing I liked about it other than the fact that it was picturised in Oxford (one of my favourite towns), was the hot Leonar Waltin.
A senseless movie.

Tee hee @Sarah Jessica Parker. Won't say she looks like a horse because I like horses. At the most we can say she's a night-mare. Every time I see her on screen, I wonder, "How, how, how does that nice Matt Broderick stand her?" One gets the feeling taht when confronted with her, you should take slow, careful aim, with one eye closed, swing back and land her a nice left jab on the nose. Blehhh.
Anyway...
How many movies you watch, men? I still have to hand over your Plummie biography. (I can see you're reading Piccadilly Jim. It's brilliant.)

Sarah Jessica Parker: tht is why i said ugly horse, some of the gang would lynch me if i said just horse.

lol about hand coming in contact with her nose, one should wear gloves lest you come in too close a contact.

Ah, nice! I've watched all the titles you liked. And I did check out In Bruges on your recommendation - I loved it! :D

Sleuth & Dark Knight go on my list of favourites! What a Batman movie that is - woot!
