Wolfman~ fell asleep halfway through so must not have been that great.
Dear John~ IF it had stayed true to the book it would have been great but of course they got to change it up and during the whole movie I'm saying "Oh no that didn't happen"...and "C'mon...please".
Book of Eli again~ wow what a great movie.

[quote=""Leo62""]Just finished watching The Wolfman. Luscious slab of retro-gothic.

Oh, I agree. It got creamed by reviewers and vanished within weeks of release, but I loved it.
Saw Shutter Island last night - creepy Scorcese, with a great performance by Leo diCaprio at his twitchy best.

"I Worship His Shadow". The first of the Lexx movies. Does that count?
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

What are the Lexx movies?
I have two volumes (20 hours each) of a Korean historical drama to chew through, which I really need to sit down and start watching. Rather ponderous at times, but still fascinating to watch.

It's a science fiction show. (Very weird.) The first season was pretty much four movies.

Finally finished watching Marley & Me. Sweet movie. Teared up a couple times. Two year old was disappointed when we sent it back. She kept asking for "Puppy."
Also The Brady Bunch Movie. Horrible on purpose, which of course made it hilarious. Not a keeper, but not too bad a waste of time either.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1910) which is all of 13 minutes long.
Link to recap and Youtube video.
Was the Wicked Witch of the West really called Momba?
You know what occurred to me while I was watching it - I wish they'd bring back intertitles. Because there's such a lot of fast cutting in movies now, I can't tell what's going on. A title card saying "Bond is pulling ahead in the high speed car chase" would really help.
