I saw Daybreakers at the cinema last night. I really enjoyed it, although it seemed to be conveying its substance with style rather than content, which I guess is ok. I thought some of the metaphors were a little transparent and clumsy.
Review the last movie you saw thread

Coraline is an awesome movie!
yet to watch it in 3D but don't go in for that kinda thing.
a highly recommended flick though, especially if you loved James & The Giant Peach, the Nightmare Before Christmas & The Corpse Bride

Just got home from watching The Hurt Locker. Excellent film. I fully support it winning Best Picture and won't complain if Renner wins too.

Actually, the more I think about it the less I like it. I still think Renner was great, but it reminded me of Saving Private Ryan in that when the guys aren't in danger of getting killed the film really loses momentum. Luckily that's only a small part of the film. I'd still give it a solid 4 stars. Some of the set pieces (the bombs in the car, the ambush) are awesome.
Some that I have seen lately:
This Is It - Quite good. The man was still in charge.
Choke - Was recommened to me and the guy said it was his film of the year last year... I struggled to get through it
The Reader - I liked this one. Was a bit..... weird and I have a major problem with one of the most important parts of the story but it will spoil it if I mention it.
Zodiac - Good movie. Really good. A bit frustrating but I liked it.... About the Zodiac Killer and the manhunt to find out who it was etc.

finally got around to my blu-ray of The Boat That Rocked after catching parts of it on Foxtel
fucking funny movie
the sound track is really good too
plus nice classic boobs (homage to the Electric Lady Land inlay I think)
would go into more but am too mind fucked too
but watch the deleted scenes, they have some very funny bits. especially how they deal with the rival pirate station and dealings with the unfortunately named minister's aid (as well as finding our Miss C's real name).

Last film viewed - THE ROAD - every bit as good as the book, read it first if you can. Hillcoat did an ace job staying true to the story and casting & performances also top notch. Didnt bother me he didnt include the baby roasting scene. The cannibal basement scene was enough to show the abhorent degeneration of some survivors.
I like the Road movie better than the book.
Twas good.
Iron man 2 was good. Not as good as the first one though.
Finally saw Cloverfield. It was pretty decent. Definitely watch-able.

I'm not a SP fan either but haven't seen Milk.
I thought Cloverfield was awesome, especially with the backstory that the creators made to go with it.

last film I saw was the 2008 British film Franklyn
hard to describe so will just post the official blurb:
it's a film that has some incredible ideas and visuals but doesn't seem to be able to develop them (as well as the characters) but still it is very interesting and worth the time if you want to see something done differently and done for the most part pretty well.

Metal as fuck
The last couple of movies I saw were Wake in Fright and Burn After Reading. Burn was a hoot. It was very cool to see Brad Pitt acting the fool and Clooney totally lose his shit. Wake in Fright was brilliant.
Spiff didnt say that he disliked Sean Penn... He said this was the first time that he has liked a Sean Penn character (Spiff is a homo loving commy son of a gun).
But, he could dislike him too.

Yeah, never been a fan of Sean Penn. I think the only other performance of his I liked was in Dead Man Walking.
