Tyson - 4/5

Good documentary. Tyson talks shares his up/downs through life.
When I was a kid I used to get up in the middle of the night, to watch Tyson KO someone in 10 sec Laughing
He's a beast...

He's just not that into you

I read the book last year, and I can say the movie is well made.

Romantic and funny. the writer Greg Behrendt actually exposed himself one sec in the movie.

Yes man

Nice comeback for Jim Carey, some good laughs especially the fight scene.

3.5/5


Seven Pounds

Strong drama starring Will Smith, this guy gets better and better with age. Became predictable though early on.

4/5

Star Trek

Goes back to its roots on this, Kirk and Spock were superb. The on screen action was too fast though in some scenes, so dropped a point for that reason.

4/5

S. Darko - 0/5

IMO Donnie Darko is one of the best movies ever.
S.Darko is an utter disgrace to that... Probably one of the worst movies ever...

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past -- Cringe worthy...

Angels and Demons -- Much much better than the Da Vinci Code, slightly different ending to the book, but very good.

Quantom of Solace

Despite lots of fast paced action, not the best Bond movie.

2.75/5

Sin City. 4/5. The part with the character Marv is very well played by Rourke.
