Watched a few over the last few weeks.
1) Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix: As you all know im a fan of thr HP books and I do like the movies, this for me was like the Goblet Of Fire, it jumped around too much and totally skewed the plot from the book, but as a film for films sake it was poor and a total wreck, given that fact I had gone through the book twice was the only reason I actually knew what was going on, or maybe this was what let the film down for me, the prisoner of azkaban was the best film so far. ***/*****
2) The Patriot: After giving my DVD copy away and getting the extended cut on BD I have found that I still like this film, not one of Gibsons best films, but its good. The extended bit were, let say, not very extended and didn't add much to the film, but it was a refreshing change from the normal DVD version I had. ****/*****
3) Snakes On A PLane: As this was my first viewing of this film and hearing all about it, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually liked this film despite the lame plot and poor acting, it was fun and a great distraction for an hour or so. ***/****
4) Enemy Of The State: Will smith was once one of the guys I respected most in film and TV, he seemed to pick good things to make, and occasinally made the wrong choice too. I don't want to spend 2 hours going over all his ups and downs, but the film in question was definite and up, after never owning this movie on DVD only on VCD I had to get it on BD, and i'm glad I did, while the film itself is great and a good espionage movie the BD picture was a let down, No I wasn't expecting The patriot to be a stunning image and it wasn't (it was good but not great) but I was expecting this to be a truly great image, but alas I was shot down from my flights of fancy. ****/*****
5) Pirates Of The Caribbean 1 & 2: Both nice films, with a great turn by JD even if the other main characters are a little wooden, but a strong script and great locations and props make these films worth watching more than once, the one thing tho about the two films (and i'm expecting the third to be the same) is the special effects, they are fantastic and make for some lovely eye candy and this is what BD is made for and I can truly say that if you have a top end HDTV and a BD player you have to own Pirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest, the image in this films is the best i've seen so far.

The Host - The DVD cover read, "On a par with Jaws", uh-huh. Jaws must've sucked pretty bad. Host starts out pretty good. Big lizard monster from Han River(S. Korea) going on rampage is both funny, and amusing. Unfortunately, that stops rather quickly. Everything stops making sense, then it gets really slow, which, at least for me, killed this movie.
Interesting effort, and it is different, but no, it is not on par with Jaws. "C-".
P.S. Also, I felt that they were unnecessarily demonizing the U.S. in this film. Another nonsense in the movie.
I really liked this movie (I did hate Jaw's - So sue me
) the ending was a bit pants, but I liked the light hearted bits, I do agree that the plot gets a little lost as the main characters split up, but still a fun movie.
There's Mary Elizabeth Winstead too. 
So yeah, I could've given it my usual "LET IT DIE" but out of all the "LET IT DIE" films lately this one is probably the best.
