I've watched "The Departed" last night and I loved it. Also I watched "Babel" which was kinda' weak. I have three more to go.
Watched "Departed" as well during the weekend but it didn't get to me that much. I mean the way "Internal Affairs" were unfolded was better IMO. Maybe I'm saying this only cause I saw the Asian version first. Still Departed is a good movie definetly.
Saw
Children of Men too. And for me it wasn't as good as imdb.com's 8.2. I'd give it a 6 since it was rather boring. The good thing about it was the soundtrack and a character named Jasper(Michael Caine) was cool too.
Movie/thriller I would recommend is
The Prestige. Movie how to magicians become rivals mixes fiction with history and it keeps you excited. The best thing about this movie was the on-going tension and there was always something happening and something for you to figure out. Id give it 8.5
One movie that made a good impression for me was
Van Wilder. It was on TV and since these teenage-flicks usually don't make me laugh I didn't really plan to watch it. But there was a break in the other channel and I somehow managed to land on the best joke of the film. Least for me and I laughed at it for the whole movie. Still brings a smirk to my face when I think of it. Seeing this comedy it brought back memories of the time I First saw
Animal House and for my suprise I found out that Wilder was also National Lampoons delivery. I'd give it a 7. (it's pretty much the max for a college movie)
This weekend there's one movie on my schedule.
Casanova. It's a TV version with Peter O'Toole playing the old librarian telling his story to a young maide. Unexpectedly good for a TV movie was my first impression when I saw the first of two parts.
Ofcourse I've seen
Rocky Balboa and since I'm a Rocky-fan I have to give ti n/a. But still-watch it
. Imdb's 7.6 is earned fare and square.
Some films on what I wasted my time:
Dead or Alive (don't ask),
Grandma's Boy,
Beerfest,
Cars. None of them made me laugh. Ok, we can forgive "Cars" since it should be a family-movie but others were utter crap. For seeing a good comedy
Bad Santa and
Thank You For Smoking get my recommendation. (both 8-9)
Can't remember more and hopefully I didn't mix up the links
