Interesting question. I will have to look in to that....

I think Shane sucked Tim's c*ck or something. Because shane's career seems kinda short to have so many prestigious people work on 9.
Wiki Page
Tim Burton's name on the title gave the movie its initial interest.
Also, Ponyo... yes. Has anyone seen it? I'm with Tito on this one. Is it good?

Pandorum: Didn't like it, but i have very high expectations for this type of film. All the monster-creatures look like Ed Begley JR... =P
Surrogates: Highly disappointing... =(
Oh and ponyo is, well.. let's just say it's not my style of movie and i didn't enjoy it. I kinda feel the same about 9 as in the story being very pointless, but i'll shut up about it since most people seemed to enjoy it. I certainly enjoyed animation tho, even if they jacked the monster-machines from the matrix.. = )

I watched "Drag me to Hell" earlier today. I thought it was pretty dull and predictable. The special effects kinda bad too, you know when it's really obvious when something is CG, the effects look plasered on top of the scene as opposed to actually being IN the scene if you know what I mean.
One strange thing I realised as I was watching it was that the film-makers must have some fetish revolving around throwing blood/worms/slime etc into the face of the woman in the lead role.
Some occurences;

Some occurences;
- Girl gets face almost sucked right off my old lady with no teeth, not once but twice
- Girl gets maggots vomited into her mouth by same old lady
- Girl gets old lady's arm shoved down her throat, down to the elbow

I came across Akira in 720p, so I got it and watched again for the sake of nostalgia. Last saw it when I was 13.
It's incredible how the fluid animation is still putting everything else to shame 21 years later. It was also nice to be able to make sense of the plot.
WAWAWAOVERRATEDWAWAWA
Akira is a god damn classic.
9/10
Also got around to watching Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels on Friday.
Another very popular movie that most people have probably seen, but pretty still pretty great.
It's hilarious and intelligent, though I liked Snatch better. Damn that ending, though.
8/10
Edit: Their "rifle" was full of win.

Such as?Well it started off as a very smart sci-fi, but as it went on it kind of just dissolved into a cheesy splatter-fest. The violence felt pretty suitable at the start, given the theme of the movie, but I got tired pretty fast of seeing people 'pop' all over the place just for the sake of it.
I think it just became too ridiculous at the end, and shot itself in the foot after a pretty incredible start. I'd also like to know why the aliens use all our mannerism in their speech.
Anyway there's still a lot of things I do like about the movie, so I'm still deciding.

Well said Strider, I have to agree. I don't mind gunfights but they all basically follow the same script, you know the protagonist is going to get injured by the antagonist but still survive, and then get his revenge. The film was more unique before they started toting guns like crazy texans.

How it scored 7.6 on imdb is a mystery in my opinion.

I love akira! - Can't you tell?
I saw surrogates friday night. And it was good. Not great, but good. There were some bad acting moments, and some WTF moments, and it was incredibly predictable. But it was a good movie. My only disappointment was in the fact that Breaking Benjamin's New single was 'in the movie' as the second song in the credits.
Needless to say my girl and i were the only 2 idiots in the theater enjoying it.
And strider, I'd expect the aliens to use our mannerisms after they've been on our planet for years. you pick up on things after you're in an environment.
When in rome...

Like they've just completely adopted human speech, the only difference is they're saying it in their language. I'd draw a very nerdy comparison to the Vortigaunts. They're kind of the same, only they're not totally correct or comfortable with common phrases and structuring.
I saw Surrogates myself recently, agree with your view on it. It's a completely predictable and average sci-fi movie, but there's no reason you can't just sit down and enjoy it.

Drag me to Hell was horrible, and not in a horror movie gross kinda way.
Horrible in a shitty fucking film kinda way.
Edit:
District 9 used subtitles. In any film with a foreign language and subtitles, alien or not, the subtitles aren't an exact translation. They are changed to convey the same message, but in the idiom of the language they're translating to.

We were supposed to see it last fucking Thursday and half of the group backed out and said we could go Friday. Friday came and the same people didn't want to go because of higher weekend prices, and opted for next Tuesday. Tuesday came and one jackass said he couldn't go because he had a test to study for so nobody else wanted to go.
We're finally going to see it this coming Thursday... hopefully.

Not what I'd usually watch, and it dragged on more than I expected. But still an alright movie.

I watched "The Thaw" two days ago and it was absolutely terrible. Really.
Okay here's the story, let's see if you guys can find out which older (and far superior) movie "the thaw" rips off:
A team of researchers discover the corpse of a mammoth trapped in ice in Yukon. After thawing the corpse they discover that it is infested with tiny organisms that basically lay eggs under your skin and thus kills you. The whole movie takes place on a remote research base in the middle of nowhere, it has a scene in which a helicopter gets shot down, and the movie ends with the whole base burning to the ground.
Sound familiar?

And I saw Event Horizon yesterday. It was awesome, but when I watched it again with the director commentary I found myself agreeing with him every time he said it wasn't horrific enough.

Zombieland was disappointing at best! Not one of better movies Woody has done. I thought it needed less story line and more killing! Too much plot!
I gave it a dismal 6 out of 10.

Watched Paranormal Activity just now. It was an pretty decent movie as far as horror films go, no clich? monster-jumps-out-accompanied-by-loud-sound-effect moments thankfully.
I'd say the claims of "scariest film this year" are unwarranted, but it does give you a sort of creeping feeling, like something is about to happen. Worth a watch at the very least.
6/10

Saw Adventureland on Teusday. It had it's moments, but ultimately it was ultimately a lame "nerd gets girl" story, which wasn't what I expected at all. It turned out to be more of a romantic comedy than anything else.
