Anyway I've recently watched the 6th sense. The ending was spoiled for me, but the movie was still enjoyable. |

I am Number 4 - Okay special effects...the girl from Glee is cute (makes me wish I could like the show) and her victimhood was marginal, which is always a plus...uhm...the last fight scene was pretty good...oh hell, the entire movie was crap. 40/100 (at least 15-20 of those points are for Dianna Agron).
Some films from 2009 that I missed upon their release. Knowing - The first hour or so of this Alex Proyas film is actually pretty good. There's a nice little mysterious quality concerning a strange list of numbers (each grouping corresponding to catastrophe that occurs during a 50 year period, until the final sequence of numbers hints at something far worse) that Nicholas Cage (the star of the film) stumbles across, but said mystery eventually devolves into bland pseudo-science/religion and manages to deliver an ending that will both please and incite fans of apocalyptic stories. 60/100 Push - There are a lot of good ideas in this fairly cliche film (Corrupt organization using super-powered individuals as potential armed forces, and a small group who are attempting to find a way to thwart the evil organizations plans) and the Hong Kong scenery and set designs are top-notch as are the small scale special effects (which look 20-30 million dollars more expensive than they actually are), and as possible introduction to a franchise there is much to like. But, ultimately, the lack of a coherent storyline (with characters making decisions that make little sense and events occurring for no specific reason) severely hampers this film. That being said, Dakota Fanning is quite good as a young Seer (called a Watcher in the film) who seeks to find a way to save her recently captured Mother (captured by said evil organization) all the while avoiding her constantly predetermined death. (In fact, the entire cast is quite good (and quite multi-national, which is a strong plus for a film set in Hong Kong), but the script and directing suck.) 60/100 (the story and characters were interesting enough to have me intrigued, but the end result is a jumble of ideas that never fully mesh.) |

Watched the new film "Paul" which I have to say was a disappointment compared to their orginal films, "Hot Fuzz" & "Shaun of the Dead". Simon Pegg and nick frost made it too American and lost the feel of the British humor, was sad
