Saw Rambo 4, very disappointed and a bit sickened, it was overly gory, ott and very stereotypical. Couldn't recommend it.
I am legend was well shot, but when you enjoy the grit and acting of 28 Days it's jsut a vehicle for Will Smith, and as with a previous poster, the best actor in it was the dog, and the saddest scene, well, it involves the dog.
Cloverfield keeps the interest, is strange and like a poorly constructed kebab, ends up all over your shoes and leaves you unsatisfied. I hype terms it's far ahead of Blair Witch, and far more worthy, but I;d wait to see it on DVD. Good story line in parts - better to see with a nice bottle of vino and a pizza.
Charlie Wilsons War is a surprise, and great acting. I know Julia Roberts was slammed, but I think she's good, and Hanks is real, very real. I can't think of the agent actor, who plays the CIA link, he's very good and while he hams it up, he's perfectly cast.
Lions for Lambs is slow moving and not really doing anything. I was disappointed as it has a great cast. Ditto for Michael Clayton, just a little too dry.
Walk Hard is worth a look and is very funny at points, and a good send up of earnest bio-pics.
For anyone interested in the Nightwatch series of movies, Duskwatch, the 3rd part, is due out at the summer's end. It promises to be quite different and not so Russian, and inside word is that it'll outshine the first two.
