Babel - I finally got around to this one.
This film contain three stories that starts from a incident in one of the stories. It's a pretty long film(little over 2 hrs), but it was far from boring. Maybe because all three stories were pretty interesting, or maybe because of the interesting cast...... except for Brad Pitt. I'm a big fan, but he just looked out of place for me. It was interesting to see Yakusho Koji, one of my favorite Japanese actors, in an American(kind of...) film though.
Overall, "B+"

Borat - Very Nice. Loved it.
The Big Lebowski - it was funny, I don't think it was as cool as I expected though.
300 - awesome. simply awesome.

Ghost Rider - 8/10 Wow, see low expectations once again works well. This movie was a lot better than I expected. I actually WANT to see a sequel to this movie. Can't lose with Eva Mendez too. Soo hot. 
Speaking of comic characters... I've never been a fan of Spiderman nor did I like the first two versions but This third one coming out looks really really good. I'm looking forward to it.

An inconvinient truth - Wonderful movie, many say that the earth is responsible itself for global warning. Ehhh, NO!

Casino Royale - Great, for me probably the best Bond film since the first few Connery films. I enjoyed it's level of realism as opposed to all the gadgets and OTT stunts.
Miami Vice - A disapointment. Especially for a Michael Mann film. I found the dialog hard to understand. Too much style over content, it wasn't even all that stylish.

I enjoyed the realism too, but some of that Jackie Chan stuff from the foot chase in the begining was bit of a turnoff. Not the whole chase, but just those crazy stunts.
I thought it was above average, but that certainly is an dissapointment for an Michael Mann film.

Watched Kingdom Of Heaven: 6/10
Not too shabby, a little dull for most part, but the battle scenes make up for that, this was also my first foray in the world of BD movies, and I dont know how im going to go back and enjoy my extensive collection of DVD movies!!! The picture was stunning and even better the sound blew me away incredible.

I saw:
Naked Lunch - Very quality work, WAY to gay for my taste. Also, films like these make me hate symbolisms and metaphors. Acting, especially by Ian Holm, Judy Davis, Peter Weller were just superb. 👍 "A-", but I hated it.
Stranger Than Fiction - Starring Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. I think this is the best work Will Ferrell has ever done. It's not a pure comedy or drama. It's a little bit of both, and I found it very entertaining.
I guess most people already know that Emma plays a struggling writer, who's trying figure out how to kill the main character in her new book..... who happens to be Will Ferrell. And he is for real.
Crafty film. "B+"
I can't remember the ending of Taking Lives, but I kind of enjoyed that movie. I'll probably get a used copy of it sometime.

Well, I think Taking Lives was better than Firewall, I just didn't like the end of it. 7/10.Felipe, you liked the Firewall?
Firewall wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I don't feel it was a waste of time to watch it, but it's not like I'll ever pick it up again. 6/10.

Man, I really liked 300 and so did my girlfriend. Awesome movie and with some of the best batlle scenes I've ever seen. It's nice to see a Brazilian actor in a big movie like this too. I never read the comic before but I thought Xerxes would be more evil than that. He looked a bit gay actually. More like a spoiled son of an evil king than the evil king himself.
We also watched The Girl Next Door. Pretty predictable story but it still was better than I thought it would be. I even laughed out loud in some parts.

I've been recommended to watch the Girl Next Door a few times. I should rent it.
I saw:
Man of the Year - Robbin Williams plays a comedian political commentator guy, who actually wins(or did he?) the presidential election. It didn't do anything real well, really. But the topic was really interesting, casting was also pretty good. You can't go wrong(much) with Christopher Walken on board, I alway say(not really). The film is 1:50 long, but it felt a little short, so it must've been entertaining. "B"
Unknown - Five men wakes up in the warehouse. They are trapped. None of them seems to remember how they got there, some are injured, one's tied up, one's handcuffed to a rail. Yes, one of those.
Everything is average, except maybe for the cast. Sadly, that means it's "above" average than most garbage movies out, these days. I'd give it a generous "B"
Reservoir Dogs - D A M N. It was way better than I remembered it. My coworker kept on doing the Michael Madsen(Mr. Blonde) impressions at work, I had to dust off my Reservoir Dogs DVD that I bought(but never watched), watch it.
Considering that this was Tarantino's first film as a director, plus the low budget, I must say that Reservoir Dogs is nearly perfect. If you have the one(s) with the extra features, watch it. Very interesting stories regarding how the film was made.
At this point, I rate Tarantino as one of the best directors there ever was. Right up there with all the big names, including Frankenheimer & Kurosawa. "A+"
Rocky Balboa - I had never seen any Rocky movies until this year. Now, I've seen all of them, except for the "V".
Not bad, but I'm not sure if I've enjoyed this movie without seeing the first, at least couple of Rocky movies. Most special, almost magical moment in the movie for me was the Rocky's speech to his son, outside the restaurant. Was it just me, or was that heartfelt? Too bad acting in it was horrid. "B-"
