Hancock. 4/10
The initial set-up wasn't bad. But it was really heavy-handed without anything to back it up. It was a collection of superhero cliches written by people that don't understand WHY those cliches are tested. I enjoyed the first 30 minutes or so, but it just went downhill from there. The other thing that bugged me if there was a lot of moments where you were SUPPOSED to feel badly for the characters (or angry at the bad guy) but the pace of the movie was such that you weren't really attached to the characters: That kind of thing works with Superman or Batman because people come into the flick with backstory already.
I would recommend it for people that liked Spider-Man 3. Ugh.
Here is a collection of cliches ("tropes") used in the movie, explained better than I could but it might be tl;dr for some people:

Just took DS and 3 friends to see Terminator Salvation yesterday. I usually just drop them off because they always want to see those juvenile comedy movies but this one I had to see. I did not sit with them.LOL
For fans of the series you will not be disappointed. It answers alot of questions although leaves room for another one for sure. Christian Bale is fine as John Conner and that other guy who I can't remember his name, he plays Marcus, is seriously cute. One of my favorite all time Canadian actors is in it Michael Ironside. There's a surprise appearance by someone and the only thing I can't figure out and is left unsaid is the character Jane Alexander plays. I was thinking she was supposed to be Sarah Conner but it doesn't say. Did anyone else get that impression? Or did I miss something?
Anyhoo 10/10 from me.

watched tokyo! last night. I'd give it an 8/10, im a sucker for Gondry, he's just way too creative for his own good. the other two parts by other directors were really cool too. if you arent annoyed by subtitles i suggest checking it out!

Saw The Proposal recently. It was predictable like all romantic comedies are, but it was still funny and provided light entertainment. So 7.5/10 but not something you'd see again. I think the two main actors here were great together...Sandra Bullock hasn't been in a movie for a long time, and Ryan Reynolds was the perfect co-star (I might not have seen it if the costar had been someone else).

gran torino - I loved clint eastwood in this. It was a serious movie. About an old man, whose wife dies and he is pretty much bitter about a lot of things and on his last legs. Dramatic ending. 8/10
Revolutionary road - it was good. kate winslet/leonardo dicaprio, about a couple that are dealing with a lot of troubles in their marriage, ideas of moving to paris, starting over, wife is pretty depressed about not having a job and wanting to start over, dramatic ending as well. 7/10

The last movie I saw was The Proposal
7/10 for the rom-com genre. Typical, but cute. =)

Bruno - 4/10
I liked borat a lot, you have to like these kinds of movies to like this one. But this movie had too much questionable scenes that were more shocking than funny.

27 Dresses 4/10 harsh, but did not keep me interested past the first 10 mins.
Miss March (unrated) this movie did baddly in theatres, but I'm actually going to give it an 8/10. Now normally I don't like these movies, but this one was so bad it was good, went back to being bad and shot back to being good. Not for the faint of heart. Beers also helped.
Fan Boys 7/10, what can I say? I love Star Wars too, and I would be that big of a nerd to do something like that. I was turned off a little because Kristen Bell is done up like Avril Lavigne, and I dislike her enough to judge anything that has her in it harshly.

The new Harry Potter - 7/10
It's still a must-see for fans, but anyone who has read the book might be disappointed as the movie leaves quite a bit out. Also I felt that the end of the movie was nowhere near as dramatic or suspenseful as it should have been and as it felt when reading the book.<center><embed src="http://www.widdlytinks.com/myfamily/silhouettes/silhouettefamily.swf" flashvars="t1=The Bernard Family&pv1=0&pn1=6&px1=251.55&pf1=1&pv2=0&pn2=22&p x2=186.8&pf2=0&pv3=0&pn3=12&px3=305.85&pf3=1&pv4=1 &pn4=9&px4=278.8&pf4=0&pv5=1&pn5=3&px5=226.8&pf5=1 &pv6=0&pn6=1&px6=102.8&pf6=1&pv7=1&pn7=24&px7=317. 8&pf7=1" quality="high" wmode="transparent" name="My Family Silhouettes" allowscriptaccess="samedomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" height="230" width="500">
