Transformers. Well, it didn't really saw the movie...I saw Megan Fox ;D

Same here when I saw it.

***

Green Street Footballers (2005, starring Elijah Wood) - Realistic movie about English Football Hooliganism. Good cinematography, well-shot, well-acted... I found it very interesting.

Star Trek- still an amazing movie
Turtles Forever- Cheesy but good team up. Would have liked to see the original animated voices as opposed to the annoying as hell voices they picked for the movie.

2012- Nice entertaining fluff. Hilarious at points. One of Roland Emmerich's better films.

I've just seen Jennifer's Body. Quite a weird, but entertaining film. Megan Fox is the best element of the entire film ofcourse.

Pirate Radio- The American version of the British Comedy "The Boat That Rocked" and pretty hilarious, although it does drag towards the end, and it doesn't seem to have a lead character but good nonetheless.

[Gray Lensman]

Just saw the Rifftrax Live Christmas special, featuring the cast of MST3K (with some help from Weird Al) mocking several holiday short films. Good, solid entertainment.

[The Sonar Chicken]

Just finished watching Monk season 4! ;D

SPOILER: Click to show

Was awesome... watching Monk squirm during Dentist episode. I've never heard a grown man squeal that much! It was hilarious watching him beg the dentist to use the "right type of soap".

Also, the Jury part was good. It's nice to see that he can now learn how to co-operate better with others.

And I loved the "Monk takes Medication" episode. Rofl... he sure pulled a new one.

Also, I know there was some opposition to the switch in Monk's assistant but I like the new direction of his character. He's now evolving even more quickly because this new assistant is far more pushy. ;D

[The Sonar Chicken]

Also watched Dexter episode one.

SPOILER: Click to show

The main character is good but the rest of the cast? Hmmm... I'm ambivalent as the cast interaction seems a bit rough and boring right now. I'll see if it works out in the next 2 to 3 episodes.

It's "cloudy with a chance of meatballs".

An imho very good movie, with some party of criticism and some sort of darkness as well.

Highly recommendable !

[The Sonar Chicken]

Just watched "The Bad Seed". It was really good(darn entertaining): about a little girl(about 8 years old) who charms, lies, manipulates and for whom murder is nothing. ;D

SPOILER: Click to show

The only problem was the ending: darn censorship! I'd have preferred her to survive to continue her murderous ways since no one, except her mother and LeRoy managed to see through her lies.

[The Sonar Chicken]

Also, just watched "I, Psychopath": a real-life documentary where a psychopath(the non-criminal type), Sam Vaknin, gets studied by a bunch of criminologists and also subjected to a bunch of tests.

[SPS]

Highlander 1 and 2: Loved them both, though the first more than the second, mainly because of the better villain. I would love to see a remake done with modern fighting techniques.

[The Sonar Chicken]

Fatal Attraction: not bad, except for the ending which was kinda actiony.

[SPS]

The Secret of NIMH- Good movie but the second half is kind of eh.

[SPS]

Kick-Ass- Good film, not as good as I thought but it should have been called Hit Girl and Big Daddy as they were the most entertaining part of the film.

I want a sequel.

EDIT: This was after I saw only about the first half of the film. It gets better towards the end. I mean the second half makes up for the first half being kind of eh.
