I saw Juno yesterday. It is by far and away the best film i've seen since Pan's Labyrinth. It was brilliant. Ordered the soundtrack as soon as i'd finished watching it.
If you haven't seen it, do so as soon as you can.
Also saw American Gangster. Very good gangster movie, surprised no one has touted it as the "Black Godfather". Great acting from everyone.
Others I have seen recently that left me a little cold.
Cloverfield - Don't believe the hype! Movie was blown way outta proportion. Godzilla meets Balir Witch, but in this case two positives actually equal a negative!
Jumper - Had the potential to be a great movie, but tried to do too much in too short a space of time. It jumped about too quickly, and they kinda ran through the plot just to get to the action (which was good, but let down by their rush to get to the end) Kind of a crap ending as well. Try again with a bit less action, a bit more story and a little more time and they might have a hit.
100 Million BC - Not to be confused with the epic "10 Million Years BC", this movie was so bad that I actually turned it off after the first "dinosaur" attack! Imagine Stargate, but with shit actors, no budget and Bert from Tremors! Watch this at your own peril!
