Dollhouse- "Epitaph one" - Now THIS is what Dollhouse should have been. Excellent guest stars, barely any Eliza Dukshu, amazing plot, with an interesting hint towards the future. If the rest of the series was half as good as this I wouldn't be so sore about it being renewed over Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. Whedon at his best.
Weaknesses: It is still hard to be sympathetic with the leads. You need to watch the following episodes of the series to understand it:
Man on the Street Needs Briar Rose Omega
Unfortunately that is a quarter of the series and most of it is rubbish, and you could probably just watch highlights of the series and get what you need for this episode.

"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" (1979 animated version) Has anyone else seen this? It's actually really good (and the art is hilarious) ;D

finally got around to watching Stranger than Fiction. I love it. It is very interesting from a writer's POV.
Also watching Buffy. I got done with Season 2 last night.

I'm watching all of Top Gear these days. Each day one hour of laughing and drooling at cars.

the Machinist- very creepy and very good. I loved the Alfred Hitchcock style music used throughout the film.

Just finished the Bruce Lee Ultimate Collection, which for the most part I enjoyed... Big Boss: Decent, all in all. I think I made a big mistake in watching this one after Fist of Fury, which does a lot of the same things this movie does... only Fist of Fury does them much better. But given that this was Lee's first major film, it's forgivable. Fist of Fury: My favorite of the entire set. It takes a while for this to get set up, but once it does, it's just nonstop fun. Way of the Dragon: Good and reasonably entertaining, though it drags in spots early on. The fight between Lee and Chuck Norris (in his first major role) at the end of the film makes it well worth watching, though. Game of Death: Lee's unfinished last film, and I suspect it'd have been one of his better films had he lived long enough to complete filming. As it is, it looks like an unfinished film, but there's quite a bit of promise in it for all of that. A shame, really.

"A Fistful of Dollars" - Starring Clint Eastwood, directed by Sergio Leone AWESOME movie, I just loved the scenery, the drama, and the action (doesn't show the guts flying everywhere like today's movies).

"For a Few Dollars More" - Starring Clint Eastwood, directed by Sergio Leone Wow, even better than it's predecessor! And the music score is a MASTERPIECE! The best music in any Western I've EVER heard!

I just came back earlier from Inglourious Basterds. Enjoyable film, though not in the way I expected. Well worth it, and I may even go back and see it again. Also saw the Rifftrax of Plan 9 From Outer Space (which I´d not seen before) by the old MST3K crew the other day. Plan 9 is truly epic in awfulness, but the riffing was fun while it lasted.

Goal III What a RIP-OFF! I mean, they hardly focus in Munez Santiago, and WHAT THE HECK happened to Gavin Harris?!?!?

How I Met Your Mother, first 4 seasons.
I missed this show somehow, probably because my default attitude towards sitcoms is "it probably sucks". But this one is great. It sort of fills the gap that Friends left while also abandoning the tame feeling that show had.

Terminator: Salvation. It's pretty good, definitely better than part 3. Not as good as any of the other ones (with the exception of part 3), but still quite decent. Great performance by the guy who acts as young Kyle Reese!

The Proposal- Decent for a chick flick.
A Haunting in Connecticut- very bad film.

Star Trek (2009)- still good.
The Running Man- still good if a bit cheesy.
The Mist-WOW! Darabont does horror. Really good classic style horror film, with an ending that is one of the most messed up films I've ever seen.

Gifted Hands (starring Cuba Gooding Jr.). GREAT movie! Based on the true story of the world-class surgeon Ben Carson, with incredible acting!

I've seen Gamer and Inglorious Basterds at the cinema, Gamer kinda sucked if you ask me but IB was wickedly awesome!!
