I've watched a heap of movies over my Christmas vacation:

All three Pirates of the Caribbean movies - The first one is amazing-of-course, the second not-so-great-but-better-than-the-first-time-I-watched-it, and the third almost-enough-to-redeem-the-series-but-not-quite.
Jumanji - Just as good now as when it was made.
The Man Who Knew Too Little - Like "What About Bob?" this is hilarious, and I love it XD
Fantastic 4 - I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this movie, it being yet another in the long line of superhero movies that have come out in recent years. I really sympathized with Ben/The Thing, all throughout the movie. He really got the raw end of the deal.
Gladiator - Not half as gruesome as I'd heard; I enjoyed it more than most Roman movies (though that was probably partly because Joaquin Phoenix did a wonderful job as the antagonist). There were quite a few actors that I know from other movies - Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Djimon Hounsou, Richard Harris, and Spencer Treat Clark.
a bit of Transformers - Seemed like a mildly interesting movie, though it naturally appeals to boys more than girls.
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events - Just as good the second time around as the first. I just wish my mom had stuck around till the end.
I Am Legend - I really liked this movie, much more than any of the people who saw it with me. Okay, so it's not as good as I, Robot or The Pursuit of Happyness, but I'd say it was still a pretty good movie. Just contemplative enough to make you think, but not so contemplative that it put me to sleep (I thought Crime and Punishment was exciting, though, so take that with a grain of salt). I really liked how Will Smith's character was the only one there for the majority of the movie (barring all dogs and maniacal zombies). And it was somewhat frightening, but didn't seem like a horror movie. Except for the obvious CG and mandatory Will Smith action scenes, it was a lot like a Shyamalan movie, I think.

Spiderman 3. also for the first time.

My opinion, Thumbs down for all of them! First is the best, but they all are horrible! I'm going to watch Batman from now on...

The Number 23 - Weird. Not really scary. Mostly disappointing.

Rush Hour 3. Definitely the worst of the Rush Hours, and that's saying a lot considering the abomination that was Rush Hour 2. It just wasn't that funny; many of the jokes I could see coming from a mile away. C-

Happy Feet - 'Twas a fun movie, but I've seen it before. It was fun to hear my girl's mom and little sister ask if Mumble was going to die every time he get into danger. I was thinking, "Yes...this is a PG movie...and the main character is going to be killed off in the first thirty minutes." :lol:

The Green Mile - The most powerful film I've seen since Schindler's List. It drew me into the characters so much it hurt to see them suffer. One of the best movies I've seen, and it's definitely going on my top 10 list.

A+

A little bit of AI. That is totally one of my favorite movies.

The Bourne Ultimatum - One of the best action movies, and one of the few that knits up a trilogy well and leaves you more than satisfied with the way it ended. Also, probably my favorite film that came out in 2007.

All I have to say is: wow. See this movie.
The first half of the movie is a wonderful piece of cinema.

The second half was like a bucket of cold water to the crotch.
