Anyway, I just saw The Intouchables (NOT the movie about Al Capone), which was hilarious and poignant and maybe the best movie I've seen in a year.
I watched Snow White and the Huntsman aswell, and I agree. Didnt like how they portraited Snowwhite though, her character really ruined the whole movie, and her acting wasnt any good either. Her speech was suposed to blow me away, but it was horrible >.< Movie quality and special effects was AMAZING though.
the little boy is bruce willis at younger age. he saw himself shot during the timetravel. willis is having this dream/nightmare over and over again when he is in his "real" time. Btw: did you recognized the women the mad scientist was talking to at the very end?
IMDB Link Movie about a little boy that goes looking for his mother, with the help of an "unlikely protector". Just a nice feel good movie in a nutshell. Really well done by mr. Kitano.
I also love the soundtrack btw, really perfect sound for the movie.
Finally got round to watching Moneyball, and well it was the perfect film for me :D I love sports films, and this one had a proper story in it and was very good (maybe even better as i not heard about the moneyball idea and the history behind it before)
8 out of 10 for me
Also i thought Brad Pitt's acting was awesome, and Jonah Hill added to the spectacle with his role too, very good overall.

fucking awful
as I expected after seeing few posters and seeing actors.
+1, dont waste ur money and time seeing this movie in a theatre!!!
why would anybody ever go into expendables with the expectation to see a good movie? You watch expendables because you want to see your old action movie heroes blow up shit and say one liners.
For crying out loud, the 1989 "Batman" is such a fucking awful picture, I'm going to puke.
Seriously, Tim Burton? The Joker killed Batman's parents? Is this supposed to be funny? Jack Nicholson is awesome, and could have been brilliant as the Joker, but why the hell did he, that is Tim fucking Burton, decide he needed to create an origin story for a character whose most horrifying trait is that he has none?
And what's up with Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne? Bruce is supposed to be really tall, in perfect shape and a fucking handsome playboy, not a balding 5.7 middle aged man...
Jesus, and what's up with Alfred bringing the first chick Bruce fancies back to the lair? How does that make sense?
Let's not forget about Gordon. Why did he have to make him such a moron? WHY?
Adam West has done despicable things to Batman and I'm glad Nolan has done so well to obliterate the memory of the caped crusader's darkest (that is to say: most colourful and ridiculous) memory, but Nolan wasn't far from it...
The only thing that kept me watching was the brilliant movie score. I don't know what it is about it, but the dark basso-brass really makes Gotham how it's supposed to sound like.
Kill the Irishman and Harakiri [dont look up the trailer for this one because whoever made the official one does not understand how 'no spoilers in trailer' system works and gave away the entire movie in 2 minutes] were both good.
^Hey I happen to like Tim Burton's stylization off characters more so than Nolan's. It brings more sinister, animated feel to them. And Batman is suppose to be a comic book so I very much enjoyed the geek-ish sense.
Let's face it. Realistically, an orphan multi-billionaire would probably rather spend much of his time to manage the company and its shareholders than to train his body + studying engineering and testing out experiment for his weapons. Bruce Wayne would not have enough time on his hand. A mere dojo master needs at least 8 hours a day to keep up the form, let's say a CEO needs to spend 6 hours to look at things. And you absolutely need more than 8 hours of sleep in order to recover the physicality.
All in all, to create a realistic rendition of Batman isn't palpable. For that reason, to make the character as cartoonish as possible serves more justice to the character.
The assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Amazing movie. Never got around to see it because I used to be a big hater of Brad Pitt, but this film is sick good. Amazing acting and pace. Wowserz.
Snabba Cash Bloody amazing film. I believe it's called Easy Money in English. Go see it. Excellent acting and gripping story.
Also got around to seeing a horror flick called Truth or Dare, which was pretty interesting to begin with but + Show Spoiler +
Went into this movie expecting nothing more than I got. Mildly funny, mildly interesting. It didn't overreach or try to do anything other than what it advertised itself as. Maybe it could have used more humor. It definitely got me hyped to party, but other than that it didn't have much value.
I never was a fan of Scarlett Johansson or Bill Murray. But after this movie, I definitely am. Their acting was so engaging and I felt like I could resonate so well off of their emotions. Very good movie and very good acting, I enjoyed it a lot.
8/10 would watch again.
So I had to watch the movie again. I almost never watch movies twice. There's a lot I missed out on my first time watching it.
As a fan of semi serious horror/comedy movies, i liked it. Giving it more though and a closer look, it's awesome. Could have been better, but it's nice to see some money being put into movies like this!

I haven't heard much about 3-Iron, but I agree that SSFWS was better
