Just rewatched the only movie that has truly scared the living shit out of me:

It's upped on Youtube if you think you can stomach it. Be warned though, it's not for the faint hearted.

Trust me, you won't sleep for a week.

And on a completely different tack, just got back from seeing Valentine's Day with a (girl) friend.

6/10 not bad for a romcom/drama. And Julia Roberts is surprisingly unirritating (can't stand her usually..).
The last 10 minutes brings it all together quite nicely. There's definitely a couple of things you won't guess.

Akira Kurosawa's Dreams ... 9/10

Starship Troopers
Gran Torino
Smokin' Aces
The Princess and the Frog

Any good ?

Right on! One of my favourites.. now check RAN for one of the finest decapitations in movie history http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089881/

Rushmore (1998)

Yeah i thought so. better than the 3D shit they attempted without Pixar (apart from Meet The Robinsons, I love that!) It's a nice return to the 2D animation, my favourite since The Emperor's New Grove. I thought a couple of the characters were a bit lame and the villians demise was a bit quick/lame, but it was a good story, couldve been better though, i'd give it a 7/10.

Watched World Trade Center, for the 3rd time now. These movies about 9/11 will always stay interesting but 'oh so' sad

The Departed... fukin awesome.. Mark Whalberg and Jack Nicholson completely owned that movie Would like checking out the original Chinese flick this was based on.. see how they match.. A few shots in there seemed straight out of Asian cinema.. wasnt surprised to find later that Scorcese lifted a few shots exactly out of the original http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infernal_affairs

Next on the to watch list is Hitchcock's Spellbound.

also DiCaprio and Matt Damon do their jobs.

The Hurt Locker - in my opinion this is the Oscar movie. I'm traumatized watching this one, especially the last scene. i wonder how the soldiers fell after a scene like that when you see it live.

the informant and halo wars

Fallen Angel 2/10
Cidade de deus 9/10

The Wolfman. The new one with Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, and Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith. If you see it I defy you to not hear everything he says, as him. 'Soooo, Misterrrrrrr Taaaaalbot, I seeeeee weee've got a praaaaaablem...'

Bloody good it is otherwise. 8/10

The Shawshank Redemption
