Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium - The movie had good word of mouth from a few friends (including Heartless), so I decided to exchange my copy of The Forbidden Kingdom for this (since I didn't realize that Kingdom wasn't in English).
Anyways, I would have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The acting here is surprisingly good for a kid's movie, and Natalie Portman is especially fantastic as Mahoney. The movie as a whole seemed whimsical, but underdeveloped (which will not forbid me from enjoying a movie. See: Push)
All in all, sugary fun. B-
What was the last movie you watched?

Well, it was funny, and enjoyable, but the ending seemed unsatisfying to me. Meh. I still moderately enjoyed it.

Truth be told, it wasn't Star Wars, it wasn't V... it was this movie that made me a believer in Portman.TripExistence wrote:Natalie Portman is especially fantastic as Mahoney.

I haven't actually seen V for Vendetta yet.
I should hopefully be watching Leon: The Professional soon though; my friend owns it, and I'm waiting for him to watch it so I can borrow it.

Over the last few days, I've watched the Blade trilogy.
The first was decent. The second was good. The last was a let down.
Worth my time to watch, but I'm not gonna hurry to recommend them here due to gruesome violence and lots of profanity.

And, I feel I should clarify... the third one wasn't exactly terrible or anything... it just didn't come close to living up to its potential (which it had a ton of... Ryan Reynolds in it? Dracula as the archnemesis? etc.)... or the precedent set by del Toro in the film before. Felt more like a cash-in than I think it should have. Still fun... just, well, a let down.

I need to see Blade 3 again. I saw it in theatres, and remember that the best thing about it was Reynolds. XDKendrik wrote:I know, right? XDTripExistence wrote:Of course the second is good, del Toro doesn't disappoint.

^ Ewww. I tried watching that movie. Bleh.
Rocketman - A Disney classic. <.< A++
The Rundown, again. I didn't mind so much. It's a fun little action movie. B+
A Scanner Darkly - on the second run through, there didn't seem to be as much to it as I thought there was. Still a good movie. A-
The Brother's Grimm - Not really that great, but some of the cinematography/visuals and performances make it entertaining at least. C+
Shutter Island - A well made thriller with an ending so unsatisfying it makes me want to scream. A for the movie, but F for my well-being after I watched it.
