Its the first of a trilogy.... soo
Miller's Crossing - early Coen Bros movie - 6/10. Good but flawed.
The Coens are hit and miss. When they hit (O Brother, Raising Arizona), they knock it out of the park. But when they miss (Intolerable Cruelty, Burn After Reading), good lord, do they miss.

Well who else is going to do it?I happened to love Burn After Reading myself.
Melancholia, by Lars Van Trier.
I really liked it, from the claustrophobic first shots that set up a tone of interpersonal dysfunction to the transformative ending. The odd tension he created in the movie was such that it seemed the film could shatter at any moment just as the theme of the end of the world was unfolding.
I'd give it a thumbs up.
i think it was either 'scream 4 ' or 'unknown' with liam neeson and diana kruger
both of them were good films

Last movie in theater:
Act of Valor
:thumbs:
Just watched "Where Eagles Dare".
4 out of 5.
in time; dystopian sci fi movie in which no one ages past 25, but are engineered to die once they run out of time. time becomes the currency; some have a lot, some live hour to hour.
good premise, mediocre execution. certainly an aspect of the film is that it is a thinly veiled critique of capitalism; albeit a flawed one.
i'd give it maybe a 5.5 out of 10. better than some sci fi movies; not as good as GATTACA, which i'd probably give at least an 8.
My son and I just watched Hunger Games last night at the theater, and discussed it afterwards.
On the whole I have to agree on the 7 of 10 rating you give. I was surprised and disappointed at the PG13 rating; seems to me the point of the thing was to emphasize the horror of the Games and how the society had grown accustomed and hardened to it, and the antiseptic cut-away death scenes totally blew that aspect of it. The blurred and shaky-cam sequences made it hard to tell what was going on during some combat sequences which was a bit of a downer also.
Even so, it was good. Pretty good acting, scenery, dialog, and so forth. The ending was slightly abrupt but it was already a long movie I can see why.
Enjoyed it quite a lot overall, despite the above-mentioned flaws.
