I know I'm a bit late with this but the other weeks episode of Lost was maybe the best episode ever. Desmond has been long my favourite character and that episode just strengthened it even more. Juliet's episode was good enough but it contained filler which hopefully won't happen next week in which (spoiler) someone dies.
Oh and the previews made it so obvious that Michael is the Ben's guy on the boat!
Anyway I've watched a whole bunch of films recently and I thought'd I'd rate them all from worst to best:
Shoot 'Em Up - 4/10 - Completely stupid, stupidest film I've seen for years. Carrots WTF?
I am Legend - 6/10 - Good at the start but got worse towards the end and the Zombies were fake looking.
Cloverfield - 7/10 - Start wasn't great as the characters were annoying. Once the monster appeared it was good.
Pirates of the Carribbean 3 - 7/10 - Waaay too long and complicated, doesn't ruin the trilogy but lets it down a bit.
Juno - 7/10 - A bit of a dissapointment considering the hype, it was a nice film which made me laugh a few times but not as good as I had expected.
Blood Diamond - 8/10 - Gripping throughout, although I expected the ending from early on. Leonardo DiCaprio is always good, in fact I think he's the best young actor and has been for a while.
3:10 to Yuma - 8.5/10 - Very good film, Russell Crowe and Christian Bale were excellent as always.
There Will Be Blood - 9/10 - Intense throughout and Daniel Day Lewis definatly deserved the oscar, this movie is long but always keeps you interested. Maybe not for everyone though.
American Gangster - 9/10 - Loved it, I love most gangster films and this was no exception. Denzel Washington stole the show really but Russell Crowe was good as well.
No Country for Old Men - 9.5/10 - I was close to giving this a 10, best film for about 5 years. It felt fresh and original which is something rare these days. Javier Bardem (below) plays one of the scariest characters I've ever seen.
Anyways....see ya.

Cloverfield: Enjoyed it a lot.
Pirates of the Carribbean 3: Depp saves the movie. IT was the weakest of the 3 by far and indeed too long.
Blood Diamond: Great movie..nuff said.
No Country for Old Men: Deserves the award.
