Step Brothers- really funny but not for the young ones.
The Dark Knight- really good but I liked the first better.
Hell ride- Q. Tarintino film, I'm always curious about his films, this one was not as gory and less profane but still not for the young ones.

"Horton Hears A Who", cute movie but rather violent for a kids movie.

Mongol.

It was better than I thought it would be, but they totally did Genghis Khan wrong. Since when was he a compassionate romantic family man?

I just saw The Day the Earth Stood Still. Not great, not awful. I was entertained enough, but not as swept up as I normally am with a science fiction story about the end of the world. :confused:

It's actually a Kazakh production!

Although I suppose it would be right to point out that the film ends with Genghis' unification of the tribes, I guess the sequel will show him in his proper light (as a ruthless destroyer) as he goes to war with the Chinese.
