Watched Taken last night, it was pretty good. Action coulda been less choppy and that girl could have tried not to run every chance she got and maybe acted close to her age.

I think the girl did a good job of portraying the over-sheltered, spoiled, ignorant stereotype they were trying to make her. Still made my blood boil as flaky idiots like that infuriate me.

I finally got around to opening my copy of Valkyrie on Bluray. I sat and watched it, and its a really great film. Its two hours, but by the end it felt like I had just started.

One of the best films on Bluray I've seen so far.

Saw Angels and demons.
I liked it, but I haven't read Dan Brown's books

but as my date said, the movie got a misleading title; there where no demons in it

Went and saw The Proposal today. While I like Sandra Bullock, I only shelled out $9 because Ryan Reynolds, who was massively awesome as Deadpool, was in it. Missed the first 10 min, but I don't think it mattered. Full of typical romantic comedy shtick, but the locations where they filmed were breathtaking (supposed to be Alaska...didn't note in the credits if it actually was AK or not!). I'm sure you can guess that they end up falling in love by the end of the movie, but I didn't think they...showed it as much as they could have (the transition from "not in love" to "in love" wasn't very obvious). If that makes sense. Betty White was excellent as an eccentric grandma (the chanting scene in the forest is hilarious!). Probably could've waited for the DVD, but I needed to get out of the house anyway.

It was actually (almost entirely) filmed in my area.

I watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen today. I liked it more as a spectacle than a story.

I think I will go to the cinema and see it again though.

Well if you read the books now you'll be slightly confused because Angels and Demons is the prequel to Da Vinci Code, while in the movie it's the sequel. Still good books tho. And what the movie didn't say tho was that all those angels in the clues were done by Raphael.

Eagerly awaiting the next book in the series!

I watched Severance last night, it's really great. There needs to be more movies like it.

Saw 'The Proposal' yesterday, and I liked it a lot. I thought it was very cute.

Evenstar, I agree with you about the chanting scene, totally cracked me up!

The Proposal
Unlike its previous two reviewers, I have to say they did a perfect job of getting the proverbial boy and girl together at the end. They just left the 'happily ever after' a bit of a question mark. Though I missed the chanting in the woods scene when I took my bathroom break.

Spinning into Butter, a very politically incorrect look at how the issues of race is handled at a liberal college after a series of "hate crimes" rock the campus. Very good.
