Been watching a lot of movies, lately. Some good ones too.
Week back watched Traffic. Seen it before, and bought the DVD in 2009 and only now watched it :p
Just finished watching the x amount of time Battle Royal, still as awesome as always.
Also watched a lot of good Korean movies lately: Sunny dramedy about a group of girls reminiscing of their youth. Someone Special romantic comedy about a dude who hears hes going to die in 3 years. Second time watching it, truly awesome movie. Sad Movie the title really says it all. My Wife is A Gangster the movie that really got my into Korean movies in 2005, still good.
Spring Breeze, A romantic comedy. My Scary Girl, second time watched it, even better then i remembered. Its a romantic comedy about a teacher and a sweet girl thats a killer.

This is the one I'm waiting for. No longer care that it's not the direct 'Alien' prequel it was originally going to be. Hurry up already :(
Back on topic: Just watched 'The Boondock Saints'. The trailer does this no justice. Try and watch the uncut version if you can find it. Yes, that's Ron Jeremy. Yes, that's Billy Connolly with lots of guns. Very funny in places as well. Great film :)

Boondock Saints is an excellent movie, one of my favourites. Shame the second one was so rubbish, was always going to be, I wouldn't consider it a sequel really.
Hunger games was good, really enjoyed it.

Saw Mr. Brooks earlier in the week. Top, top film. Not what you would expect from a film with Kevin Costner and Demi Moore.
It's very dark, it's very well paced, and it's very well acted. Highly recommend it. I would suggest not watching the trailer first. It gives a lot away.

My favorite one to go back to has always been Pan's Labyrinth. Truly amazing storyline, the graphics are so realistic. And it seems every time you see it there's something different about it that you missed out on it in previous viewings
More recently, I've seen Wreck-It-Ralph. For a CGI film it is severely jam-packed with a lot of action, and it's nostalgic to see so many video game characters in there.

probably the best movie has to be "shank - the movie". but that thing is probably not for you folks. however for me, the content could not fit any better
KnuckleBall: Doco by morgan spurlock (guy that did supersize me) about the knuckleball pitchers in baseball. Was pretty interesting as i knew nothing about it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2343601/?ref_=sr_1
Snitch: has the rock in it, but probably the best role i've seen him in. Doesn't play a kick-ass action hero, plays a normal guy caught up in ****ed up circumstances. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0882977/?ref_=sr_1
and some terrible ones:
Spring Breakers: ****ing terrible movie. Saw it because James Franco is in it and he's always good. And he was actually probably the only good part of the film. Genius actor. Terrible ****ing movie. Has a 6 in IMDB. James Franco's portrayal must be five of those six points. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2101441/?ref_=sr_1

Saw Oblivion today. Visually it is out of this world. There is a thirty minute period in the middle where it feels like it's going to shit, but it comes good at the end. One of the more enjoyable Sci-Fi films from the last ten years.

Saw Mud yesterday evening. Good film. Not a spectacular story, but good enough. The main attraction of the film is the chemistry between Mud (a man on the run from the law) and Ellis, a fourteen-year-old kid who tries to help him.
