High Fidelity, it wasn't bad, well worth a watch. 7/10

Yeah, it wasn't a poorly made summer flick. I enjoyed it. It's an A+ film in comparison to its sequels...

Well, I started watching this half with excitement half with dread. I thought a couple of Londoners playing John Lennon and Paul Mccartney could be a disaster. I felt like the accents would let them down and the film itself wouldn't be charming enough to carry itself, however I was wrong. It portrayed the relationships between Julia really well, extremely heartwarming portrayal and lots of references to the North of England. I.E The Liverpool docks and fish and chips. Really good film. 8/10

i watched 'less than zero' the other night. hadn't seen it in years. robert downey jr was so young in that.

just saw this again for the first time since it released. it was better than i remember. daniel day-lewis was great as usual.

^I found it a bit boring actually. Despite the praise for his acting, I didn't think Daniel Day-Lewis' character seemed like a real person at all .. The accent, demeanor and other things which didn't stick too deep seemed a little over the top to me at times.

I actually enjoyed the second one, maybe more than the first. It had some crazy action scenes and a lot of great gags. I was ticked off by the cliffhanger ending though.

The third film made absolutely no f*cking sense, I couldn't follow it all and it was just a big noisy mess.

He was over the top, but that made it a more compelling performance for me. Some actors can make overracting a good thing, I think DDL is one of them.

Really? The movie was a great mismatch of sci fi conventions, resulting in something quite new. As an action film it was really tense, the story was very well done, much so that you actually start to care about these mutant shrimp people.

And I thought the protagonist was awesome, certainly not your typical sci fi action hero.

Super High Me, watched it on Netflix. If you have ever seen Super Size Me, it's like that except he stops smoking Weed for 30 days, then does it nonstop for 30 Days. It's a really funny movie, and you will learn a thing or two.

I will defend those movies until the end, so if another debate occurs, then it occurs...

The main problem I had with Reloaded and Revolutions was the really weird religious undertone involving Neo and being "the one". I understood he was always going to be a martyr, but they didn't have to turn him into Jesus. Overall though, the action was still just as cool as the old films, but the dialougue became monotonous and booooooring.

Also, I just started watching Michael Moore's new movie Capitalism: A Love Story in my history class, and I've really enjoyed it so far.
