The Rock stars on a revenge quest to kill everyone that set him and his dead brother up. Surprisingly not corny for a Rock movie. Just a lot of good action.

The Guard - with Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle - if you liked In Bruges, you'll love this one too. The only thing missing was a midget getting karate chopped. Very quirky, very Irish crime movie with dark humour - Gleeson especially was terrific - love that guy. Some good laughs with an unconventional ending - check it out!

This movie I just loved so much, it's probably in my top 5 all time, just based on the pure revenge and no bull****. But I would have liked to see "adebisi" die

The Devil Inside. Saw it last night and enjoyed. Had a couple of jolts and though it was filmed "documentary" style its is'nt as "bad" as Blair Witch.

Contagion was good - lots of names and faces in this one, it was kinda fun trying to guess who was going to die next. Probably the most realistic film about what might happen to society if there was a plague killing us all off, but it wasn't a gritty or dark as Blindness. Worth a look, I liked it!

i really liked this movie. for some reason it catches some flack, but i thought it was good and it felt pretty real. i liked the way they played out the point of origin of the disease. i thought it was a cool way to make the stort play out and gave it a lot more feel. it's still no Outbreak (but not many movies are, thats one of my all time favoites) these types of movies are what brought about my passion for virology and epedemiology.

id highly recommend Contagion

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

it's a documentary about a man who was murdered and the son he never got to know. it is hands down one of the saddest things i have ever seen and i'm still misty eyed. give it a shot, but don't say i didn't warn you.

what a ****ing movie.

Dead Man's Shoes. It was recommended in the 'revenge' thread and I gotta say that it was pretty darn good. I streamed it off Netflix and wish I could have had subtitles in some spots, but it's a pretty badass movie.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World - Hilarious, creative, action movie that surprised the heck out of me. Knowing Michael Cera I expected this to be rather dull and uninteresting.... however I thought the movie (based on a comic series) was very well produced, and likable. Throw in some cool punk/house/garage music and you got yourself a winner...

Minus the gushy love story crap, I sill recommend this move.
