Cloverfield, Cloverfield, Cloverfield! Haven't seen it.... yet.

Update - I saw it and I puked at 44mins in. Ugh.

Shave and a haircut.... Two slits!

Sweeney Todd
Wow...more gory than I thought it would be, even with the fake looking blood! Go Helena Bonham Carter! She is growing old gracefully and man, her character of the meat pie making Mrs Lovett is just wry, witty, graceful and sinister all rolled into one. And Johnny Depp.... sigh, hard to believe he's also Jack Sparrow, but the characters leaked into each other a little bit more than i would have liked. Lots of interesting romantic ties between characters (like whoa, you're way too young! Oh dear, you're WAY too old!) Fun ride. Gratz to Burton for a non Danny Elfman scored movie!

I! AM! LEGEND!

Okay, sorry for bringing in that sparta language.... But seriously, what a fantastic performance from Will Smith - he has built his career on doing the comic relief thing, such as ID4, MIB franchise, Bad Boys. Now take those humorous lines when he's talking to a mannequin because he's lonely... it makes for a poignant, strange, voyeuristic experiences ever.

"I Am Legend" was surprisingly good. Tour de force performance from Will Smith! And gosh, that puppy dog is adorable. Can't say I liked the VFX - the bluescreens were poorly integrated, and the vampire thingies are just.... ugh. The transformation of NYC was smooth and wonderful.

Scientifically methodical at the beginning, then a smooth transition to a different type of movie. I liken it to Jurassic Park in pacing and overall feel.
