Yeah, PoP was much better than I thought it was going to be.  I really enjoyed all the parkour action (freerunning) too.  Jake G. did a pretty good job.
The parkour was really good. Jake Gyllenhaal had one of the Americans with a more consistent English accent :D

Prince of Persia is probably the best movie adaptation of a video game I have ever seen.
But then again most of these movies suck.

I didn't know that Persians spoke such good English.  :P

And, ostriches in Persia! Really?
The comic relief got kinda annoying sometimes with his taxes. I usually like Alfred Molina as a comic relief, but in this case I had too much of him.

I haven't seen PoP yet but I have been an avid fan of the game series since 'The Sands Of Time'.  The one thing I was a little suspicious of was it's age rating, as in the games there is chopping up of minotaurs a plenty.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

To be fair Sands of Time is not that gorey as its successors. And the movie lacks blood spills over the place. People are killed, yes, but details are not really shown.

Now I always thought they were genuine Arabian stories translated to English then made into game. Unlike the Arabian Nights  that were translated and made into movies.


Sands Of Time did nothing for me at all. no score.....

Kick-Ass (7/10)

Finally got around to seeing Kick-Ass, and while I didn't love it, it was a lot of fun (and some things are very different than the comic). And I'm sure I'll be in the minority by saying that Nicholas Cage was the best part of the movie, especially because he wasn't playing that guy that he does in every movie now - especially action movies. I think he might've also been channeling some of his own personal defeat into that character, too...

At the very least, whoever makes the next Batman movie needs to pay close attention to the editing and choreography in the fights scenes. Particularly the one in which Big Daddy takes out the mobsters in the lumber warehouse. You could see every action and the fight flowed very well. As opposed to the last couple of Batman flicks where the fight scene are so murky it's difficult to tell a punch has been thrown, much less who's fighting who...

Alice in Wonderland (2/10)

Just as I suspected, I really didn't like this flick at all. Too much obvious CGI, much of which was tailored to stick in your face to accommodate the 3-D. The acting was pretty so-so and Depp looked like he was just going through the motions with a bunch of make-up and Sideshow Bob wig.

I really wish I could get the time back from watching this...

Full Frontal (2002)

WTF!! I literally fell sleep 4 times. Deliriously boring. A pretentious movie with a big cast and nothing else.

Alice in Wonderland. WOW T B really went over the top on this one.  :D
i liked the movie alot. totally made for Bluray with the quality and the sheer over the " topness "
made the movie for me.

The Road - heavy but gripping .I just wanted a happy ending after all the duo went through.
i know it was never going to happen but  :'(
touched on the cannibal side quite well without too much gore.
another powerful performance from V M again.

Also whoever makes the Bond movies next.

Morocco
I kinda didn't get this movie, but haunting last image.

Brief Encounter
Noel Coward and David Lean's. Very good. Must be able to tolerate unintentionally annoying English accents.

Anastasia
Okay movie, but Ingrid Bergman fantastic as usual.

The Road will only have a 'happy' ending if you know how to see it.

The fact that The Boy never adopts the out-and-out mistrust of The Man and accepts the help of a stranger which may lead to The Boy to having a better life overall.
