Yep, that's the one.

In Bruges

It was pretty good. I actually liked Colin Farrell in it, and don't usually care for him. Great cast.

Last week, I saw Get Smart. Correll was Ok, but I wished The Rock was in it more. It was somewhat entertaining.

Wall-E

Liked it a lot. Probably not my favorite PIXAR, but much, much better than "Cars", IMO. (I haven't seen "Ratatouille" yet.) My sister thought it was slow in parts. I don't think it was slow, but it definitely lost some of it's zest once the story shifted to solely in space.

But the entire time on Earth I friggin' LOVED! If you've ever had a crush one someone, (and puh-lease! who hasn't!) it's just so relateable.

Cute. Very, very cute. And an amazing job by PIXAR.

Definitely, highly recommend.

I saw Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and thought it was fabulous and hysterical! I'm going to watch it at least one more time before sending it back to Netflix.

I agree, it was going along in one direction then took a completely different turn a little more than halfway through. I liked it though - not the best movie I've seen this year (probably Iron Man), but far from the worst (Vantage Point). It was a neat twist on the usual superhero flick.

Hancock - 8/10

I really was not impressed by it.

8 might have been a little generous, but I wouldn't go lower than a 7. It wasn't terrible, although it showed great promise in the first half then tailed off a bit. Fine acting, and a fantastic premise, it just tried too hard, lost its balls in the second half and turned into just another superhero flick. If the script had stuck to its guns and gone with the setup it was creating (instead of deciding to completely alter the movie with 45 minutes to go), it could have been on par with Iron Man when it comes to 2008 superhero movies.

I have a feeling The Dark Knight is going to crush 'em both, though.

Wanted

Seemed to be in the same mould as 'Shoot Em Up' - stupid, brainless, bloody fun. Angelina Jolie didn't have much to do, Morgan Freeman seemed half asleep and the storyline is absolutely ludicrous. I did like the scene where the office bitch got a good talking to. Apart from that... meh. Fun, but stupid.
