I just watch some new movies yesterday.

The Road - Viggo Mortensen & Kodi Smit-Mcphee ,A very dark movie,both in content and visuals,not something you would take the kids to see,about a father & son trying to survive in a post apocalyptic earth,where food is scarce and cannibalism is rife, Kodi Smit-McPhee is excellent as the son.

The Fantastic Mr Fox -based on a Ronald Dahl children's book ,I was surprised how good this movie was,it's well voiced by the actors playing the various characters,and the stop frame animation is well done,although it can seem a bit stiff/ robotic in some of the long shots,a fun movie.[The owner of the Cider factory looks and acts just like Rupert Murdoch,I had a good chuckle at that]

It's Complicated -Meryl Streep,about a divorcee that ends up having a brief affair with her ex husband,Not my cup of tea,but the girlfriend enjoyed it [What is commonly known as a "Chick Flick",sorry female forum members]

Pandorum -Dennis Quaid ,about a huge space ship where people are waking out of stasis with very few memories,the ship is partially shut down and they have to resurrect it's power,ludicrous plot,cheap effects,bad script and lousy acting make this a rainy day renteronly when you need to add another disc to get a discount.

Million Dollar Baby - I like the combination o fa boxing-genre mixed with drama, and awesome story. No... i can't say usefull stuff about movies, i'm bad at that, but it sure is an awesome film.

Right, settled for Son of Rambow last night. Nice little film, the middle section could be better but good nonetheless.
Big Fish is next.

I watch two new movies yesterday.

Sherlock Holmes - It was better than some of the reviews I read of it, and although far fetched ,there were no real lapses in pace or over doing of special effects, quite enjoyable.

The Men Who Stare At Goats - George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges , what a strange movie this one is,it's a story that seems based on different topics from some esoteric magazines, a bit of a mess in structure , but a enjoyable mess, no gut busting laughs but some funny scenes in the training of this strange "New Age" army.
