Tropic Thunder - Great!
I was laughing the whole movie! Robert Downey Jr is hilarious.

I watched Batman Begins last week. It was okay. Katie Holmes just can't act, but Cillian Murphy's Scarecrow was pretty awesome.

I was sort of bummed. I was expecting a massive laugh (and did a few times), but just didn't generally find it anywhere as funny as i was expecting.

quantum of solace (advanced screening mofos)

if there were doubts as to Daniel Craig's 007, this one squashes them, at least the first 30 minutes of the film, Judy Dench gets a lot more lines than she has had previously, I felt cheated by the cheapness of the film, and to be honest I miss the Roger moore/ Sean Connery era gadgets, yes he gets some now but nothing as cool and outlandish as an invisible car like in one of those Pierce Brosnan flicks, the DBS looked good and of course you will be in pain as you see what happens to it, after the first 30 minutes, it becomes a slow and rather auspicious x-files type of film, (like the first x files not the junker that they just made) lo and behold the return of the maniacal villain bent on taking oever the world or destroy it that was missing from Casino royale, if I was to rate it on a scale of 5... I would give it 4 stars, because it is a bond film and it is missing the 007 multi gadgets it does not get a 5

RocknRolla (Guy Richie, Modonna's soon to be x)

Its not Snatch, but its not bad. Kind of a rich guys Snatch this time. Everyone's rich or high on drugs. Pretty much the same format. I'd give it a B- or B. You could wait for it on DVD.

Disappointed that Quantum of Solace is not hitting a home run so far with those who have seen it. 4 out of 5 stars from 1000rpmlover above, only 74% at Rotten Tomatoes. I watched Casino Royal again on my PSP and loved it even more this time. Plus I realized I had forgotten a lot of the ending of the movie, which appears to be important to remember for this movie since it starts right afterwards.

May be if it was on cable you would have liked it better. If I remember Kelly McGillis is topless at one point. It was very tastefully done so maybe they can show that at school now. Probably not. (BTW lived in Pymble, Chatswood and Whale Beach for a while, went to school in Gordon)

Dirty Harry and Magnum Force... from the Blu-Ray 5 Disc Collectors set. I will be watching the remaing 3 over the rest of the week.

11/10 as always.

Watching 1080p remastered on the 60" is the closest I will get to seeing it in the theatre (unless someone ahs a special screening) and really sets off the period tough guy

Fred Claus on Blu-ray, don't ask why I ended up buying that, but to my surprise it's not that bad, paul giamatti in the fat suit really comes across as Santa and Vince Vaughn is the same as always, the dialog could have been a bit wittier but the addition of Kevin Spacey as a villain was brilliant, the guy makes it like a villain from a comic book, all maniacal and scheming, it is of course a movie your girl will like, I was rather surprised at a few spots, one comes to mind in particular, if you saw superman returns, you know about kevin spacey as Lex Luthor... just take a look closely at a certain scene near the end, it was a good thing they did with that scene but then again this is Paul Giamatti and Kevin Spacey we are talking about, 2 great actors that can pull something like that off, Vince... well he is just Vince, the picture was crisp, colors processed to look like Cellulose although the film was made on Digital media, the result is nice, on a projector you will most likely notice some shadowing but is not too much, this is one of the first movies encoded with full HD t-vf codec for sound so it sounds good, and you can stop worrying as the volume never gets a huge boost that makes you lower the sound

if you have small children, or someone you want to impress with your (in my case fake) sensitivity, you can watch this, although I'd skip it if you are an action junkie as there is none here

up on cue next: the earth VS the flying saucers/remastered/colored

Kingdom of Heaven - Blu Ray

I remembered the movie being ok... but the directors cut... going from a 6 to a 9. My main issue was the movie ended up being far too long. Great visuals @ 1080p. The new cut made the acting seem "that" much better for some reason. I'd recommend it!

I'm thinking he's just taking the piss. He's going to get banned pretty fast with the posts he's making so far...

Quantum of Solace - Recommended. Lots of action, good continuation of story. Although overall I think Casino Royale was a better movie.

Max Payne... I had to see it given I played the game back in the day.
I was impressed at how they attemped to keep some carry over / original to the character.

As far as a movie goes though.... Good if nothing else is on, and want to put your brain on the sofa for dark shoot em up.
