3:10 to Yuma - 7/10
I liked this movie even though it felt like a cowboy version of a movie that's already been done. Say SWAT in a way? xD
Anyway, Russell Crow killed part of this movie. Him trying to be the fastest badest cowboy of the west was as bad as Matt Damon being a secret agent man...

Memento 7/10 - Interesting story of a man searching for his wife's killer, yet he has no short term memory. So, he writes notes on photographs and tattoos his body to store his memory.
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang 7/10 - A criminal moves to LA to become an actor. While on a ride-a-long with a private detective to learn the character he gets involved with a lost love, suicide and several murders.

Once agin our numbers differ. I'd give that movie a 9.5 or a 10. I'm curious what you'd grade The Big Lebowski? A six?

No, I love The Big Lebowski. I give it a 9 easily, maybe 9.5/10.
Memento wasn't that thrilling. I figured out most of it which isn't fun, but it was slow enough to keep me guessing. I admit, I need to watch it twice because some things didn't make sense. The person on the phone was a bit confusing. It was a number of people, was it not? The cop and the bar tender lady?

Live Free or Die Hard - (8/10)
I hadn't seen it yet so I rented it on BD from Netflix. I loved it. Heck, I watched it twice before sending it back. It isn't as good as the original and it may be even with Die Hard with a Vengeance.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a cinematic masterpiece, but it is the best kind entertainment movie. The action is fun and there aren't plotholes glaring enough to have you saying, "Huh?"
So, if you want to jump back in an adventure with Mr Wrong Place Wrong Time, John McClane this is a good one. If you are looking for a masterpiece then move along.
And a special feature was the Die Hard music video by Guyz Nite. That is full of win. Due to language it would violate AUP to post, but a simple search on You Tube will find it.

The person on the phone is a mind****... [thanks Mr. Swearfilter 
] I always thought it was Teddy.
I bought that movie on DVD, and it was my only movie for about 3 months, so I saw it very often, although it's been at least a year and a half since I last saw it.
There is one thing that's very mind-boggling... are Lenny and Sammy the same person? I mean, Sammy's wife was diabetic, and apparently Lenny made up his wife being diabetic. But other sources point out at Sammy not even suffering from AMD and actuall being caught faking it. Also, the website has many 'newspaper clippings' of the chain of events. The attack on Lenny and his wife has a 2/24/97 date, while his wife's death appears to be on 11/97, and his 'condition' appears diagnosed in 1/98...

I always understood Lenny is Sammy. Remember the scene after Sammy's wife kills herself and he's in a 'hospital' care center and for a brief flash, Sammy is replaced by Lenny? I took that as Lenny is Sammy.
In the movie, the phone caller is both recognized as the cop and bartender lady. I guess it could be both. Remember how they both claimed Lenny told them all about Sammy? He did it over the phone when they called him. The fact the phone calls didn't go anywhere significant, at least I didn't think so, was one of several things in the movie that was added as filler and to show you he couldn't remember whom he talked to because he never wrote it down. A sort of 'brief clip of his everyday hell.'

I saw it as the phone calls (and all other B&W scenes) kinda went in a straight, linear way; while the rest of the movie (coloured parts) went backwards. So the B&W parts could've been a filler, or some sort of parallel line.
Memento for me is one of those 'talk about later' movies.

Stardust 2/10
Bleh....
All I can say is that there's almost nothing here for adults. This is a kid's movie through and through. Not a horrible one for children, but there's a limited audience. In an age when so many movies seem to concentrate on offering something for both children and parents, this one seems to have not gotten the memo.
Even if your kids are watching it, I recommend leaving the room.

Suspect Zero - Again. It's been a while since I saw it on rental, and it was even better this time.
Sir Ben Kingsley plays this killer who the FBI is after. It turns out that he was a former FBI himself(well, kind of), and he was actually hunting down serial killers using remote viewing. Very cool.
The movie is very well acted, has great cinematography, and while it's not exactly plot-hole free, it is a dark(but not overly) and grown up. It felt like a mix of "Se7en" and tiny bit of "No Country For Old Men".
This will make at least a very good rental, if you don't mind the dark tone. Bonus feature on the remote viewing was very interesting. People who were involved in the film claims that just about anyone can learn and execute this technique in 40 mintues(I think). Director actually tried it on camera, and unless it was faked, he did fairly well. Freaky. "A-"

And Moulin Rouge.
What? Oh, yeah, I was just kidding. Anyways, I've never seen the Old Yeller, though it's damn near one of the most famous movies in the States. I should rent it sometime.
I've never seen it either. But, I have listen to it.... Old Yeller

Odd, I enjoyed it. I felt it had a very Princess Bride feel to it. Not quite as good though.
And since when did a crossdressing pirate become for kids only?
I never cried in Old Yeller, but I also had our pet dog attack me when I was two. It only took me 25 years to have another pet dog.
Now, It's a Wonderful Life gets me nearly every time. Me and Dave Lister.

Saw IV
Not as good as I expected, and not as good as the past movies. I think I and II were the best.
I didn't want character development, I wanted death by weird machines. And when death was immenent and immense suffering was present, I was bombarded with 20 camera angles in 2 seconds and I couldn't see enough blood and guts. The best bit was when the guy pushed his face into the knives, and that was in the past.
And to add to it, I found it a touch confusing. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I won't go into details, but I didn't get...
I think the iteration is lamer.

The Prestige - 5/10
It's a slowwwwww boring movie. It seems like a movie I've seen before just without the magic.
On a side note... I've been watching a lot of Christian Bale movies lately and I'm beginning to think any movie he does it's Christian Bale not so much him playing a part in a movie. I also get the feeling this guy can go jekl and hyde pretty quickly.

Ocean's 13 - 6.5/10
Much better than Ocean's 12 (not hard) yet the plot was still far too unbelivable and contrived. George and Brad seemed to play much a lesser part in this film and their characters have become more like cameo roles. The whole production was almost like no one put any effort into it at all.
The Bourne Ultimatum - 8.5/10
Another in a great series of films, even if this film and the previous one stray totally away from the books they took their titles from. A solid performance from Matt Damon with great fast-paced yet reasonably realistic action and fight scenes.

Previous one? Dude, Bourne Identity strayed from the books from the moment he was pulled out of the water.
Honestly, I have to think of the movies as a completely different story. No Jackal is 👎

Did you hate the hand-cam shots as much as I did? Well, clearly not actually, otherwise you'd have complained about it in your writeup.
