Could this movie have any more propoganda? I fear for the continuity of global peace between the superpowers of the world. | ||

Unstoppable - passable. Story is a bit overboard though. And too many trick shots in the film trying to generate false suspense or drama. "Speed" is way better. Salt - passable. Story is way overboard. But Angelina Jolie can still do action. | ||

![[image loading]](http://movie.masjo.com/images/slither.jpg) One of the funniest horror movies I have seen in a long time. I'd even go as far as to call this movie an american "Shaun of the dead". | ||

Also, am I the only one that had no idea this was a romance??? ![[image loading]](http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/2100/gallery133541nj.jpg) Last Life in the Universe Probably one of the best films I've seen in quite some time. | ||

I'd say the movie showed more scenes of them being nice to the Chinese, when in history the majority of the Brits viewed the Chinese as dogs they could take advantage of. Name one. I don't think that any movie can be that representative of all British people, portraying them all as bloodthirsty barbarians. Even if it were, it's time to let go instead of reminding the Chinese people of intolerance from eons ago. Not all people are good, and not all people are bad. But movies like these argue that some races have more bad people than others, and promote racism. | ||

![[image loading]](http://blog.80millionmoviesfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/restrepo-poster.jpg) Restrepo - Follows a U.S Army platoon during their tour in the Korengal Valley. Sort of like a fly on the wall perspective of the war, this is no propaganda bullshit, this is what war was like for these men. Pretty good. ![[image loading]](http://www.disneydreaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Super-8-Movie-Poster.jpg) Super 8 - Mediocre. Really expected something good from all the glowing reviews but this was just boring for the most part. ![[image loading]](http://images.moviepostershop.com/breathless-movie-poster-1960-1020238047.jpg) Breathless - Wow, this was really good. Curious about Godards other movies now. ![[image loading]](http://media.screened.com/uploads/0/4460/262602-jar_city_poster_super.jpg) Jar City - First Icelandic movie I watched. A world-weary cop comes to believe a recent murder of an elderly man is linked to a case of rape three decades earlier and works to put the pieces together. This was pretty good. | ||

It is a shame that much of the flavor of the dialogues is lost in translation, but oh well, it's good for non-portuguese speaker anyways. ![[image loading]](http://i1.r7.com/data/files/2C92/94A3/2AA4/FB91/012A/A66C/8796/6EB4/tropa%20de%20elite%202.jpg) Awesome movie, thx for recommendation. iMDB rating 8.4 Here's the trailer: | ||

Pirates Stranger Tides - I really liked the previous 4, so I guess it's a little bias speaking. Really well made movie, action scenes are sorta cheesy though and the storyline is fairly straight forward. Recommended 8.5/10 Transformers 3 - A hell of a lot better than Transformers 2. Really lame ending though. Still recommended 8/10. X-Men - Pretty good, too bad I don't follow the series too closely (but I have seen the previous movies), but it doesn't matter as this movie is more of an into than anything else. Definitely recommended 8/10. | ||

![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/19/Swordsmen_2011_film.jpg/220px-Swordsmen_2011_film.jpg) Do not watch. I went in expecting another Ip Man, instead I get a two hour long Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon romance film about some guy who has given up his past life of crime for his weak and useless wife who needs to be rescued (as you can see from the movie poster, she is not even hot). Again Takeshi Kaneshiro plays a role where his only purpose is to show-off what a supposedly good actor he is but his character, an investigator into Donnie Yen's past, is ultimately redundant and a waste of screen time unless you're a teenage girl who thinks he's the Asian version of Justin Timberlake. We all know the only reason anyone goes to see martial arts movies is for the fight scenes, but in this film, besides the badly choreographed fight at the start as shown in the trailer, there are only two - one where the main character fights this annoying screaming woman, who I think was his mother wanting him to go back to a life of murder, and another where he fights his father (for the same reasons) with a sword after chopping off his own arm to show that he no longer wishes to be his son (this is not a spoiler, it makes no difference at all to anything that happens and was not climatic). + Show Spoiler + Because the dad was too invincible to beat the producers decided the only way to kill him off and end the movie was to have him be randomly struck by a lightning bolt. Fucking ridiculous. | ||

Direct and real, I felt like I saw the events how they were, untainted by political motivation. Strangely, it made me want to join the army =/ | ||

Recommended if suffering from insomnia 0/10 You do realize that noone will take you seriously after you rate a movie by coen brothers 0/10, thats just pure trollage right there, even if you didn't like everything in it i wouldnt go lower than 6/10 just because of the overall quality of the product. | ||

Honestly, I rarely watch new American movies that much, few are worth watching most of the time. ![[image loading]](http://www.impawards.com/1991/posters/rhapsody_in_august_ver2.jpg) Rhapsody in August - Very touching movie, another great from Kurosawa. ![[image loading]](http://www.firstshowing.net/img/mongol-poster-big.jpg) Mongol - Had a few cool battle scenes but alot of it had nothing interesting happening, got bored honestly. Pretty disappointed with it overall. | ||
