Recently Viewed Movies Episode 2: The Vampire Bites Back

[Geop]

Watched Fast & Furious.  It was pretty good but there was a large chunk of the movie where I almost fell asleep, car scenes included.

Saw "Funny Games" with my sister recently. It was alright. While I can see that the directors' tricks are intriguing, I found it a little bit boring on the whole. Meh.

Finished off the Mission Impossible series today with # 3. Meh to this movie and the entire series in general. Doesn't deserve its popularity.

 I just saw Rocket Science. I was not expecting such a good movie when I TiVo'd it, just thought I'd atleast get some laughs out of it. This one completely surprised me, I was totally invested in the characters and loved how it never resorted to the same ol' plot devices of similar movies. 
 
 Also watched Priceless, very enjoyable French romantic comedy, though I ain't the biggest fan of those types of movies. I loved the two leads, Gad Elmaleh and Audrey Tautou, they worked together perfectly.

Forgot to mention that I watched Doubt. Good movie. Very good performances.

I also saw this very recently (the American version). I did enjoy it, but I can also see the boring side. I admire how it offers a more realistic view of what might happen in that situation (the cavalry never arriving to save them), but then it's devices like those that make movies more exciting to watch.

The Spirit. One of the worst movies I have ever seen, and it certainly was no where close to being a guilty pleasure.

Watched Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day. I enjoyed it. Amy Adams was great and Frances McDormand was her usual awesome.

Yeah, I saw the American version as well. My sis tells me that it's easier to appreciate the film while keeping in mind the Austrian/German mindset although I'm not quite sure what that mindset is these days. :P

I watched "Doubt" last night. I really don't see what all the fuss was about. The performances were really good but the story was obvious and ...I don't know. Something about it just didn't jive with me, the writing seemed sketchy or something. It was alright though.  Btw, is it just me or do Philip Seymour Hoffman sound EXACTLY like John Goodman??

I saw Adventureland earlier. I don't find it totally awesome, but it was enjoyable and liked the fact for a comedy, it did not try to cram in a bunch of crude or slapstick jokes. It felt down to earth and natural.

I just finished watching "Caprica". It was pretty good and I'm looking forward to more.

[(Tunnels)]

Been on a vampire kick and watched "Interview with the Vampire" and "30 Days of Night." I really enjoyed "Interview," and 30 Days was okay. Really glad they didn't change much for it, but then again, the orginal graphic novel was fairly simple to begin with.

The Tale of Despereaux. I enjoyed it more than Bolt and Coraline (the other two animated movies I've seen this year).

Edit: Just finished Happy-Go-Lucky. It's a little too long, but Sally Hawkins is great and by the end you actually understand the point of the movie and the last few scenes are pretty emotional. I'm really starting to like character studies.

So I just saw Watchmen tonight.  I can see why this movie didn't go over too well in Georgia.  Fortunately my quite a bit more disturbing anime shows made those particular elements not a big deal for me.  The movie theater copy seemed to be pretty bad though because it cut out at a particular spot and it was often out of focus (which based on the fact it wasn't mentioned anywhere doesn't seem to have been intentional).
