It started off slowly, but I actually became involved in "what happened next" as it went on. The bits where Colin Ferrel was being particularly "precious" were sometimes too much, but the more "real" parts were perfectly effective.
Finally, Ralph Feinnes was AWESOME. He's usually "fine," but I don't really care either way. I loved him in this and wanted to see more. He needs to do more bad guy roles for sure.
star wars: the clone wars (theater) - was roped into going to this one. i went in expecting total lucas crap, and got just that. plus lots and lots of exploding things. weird cgi. they will go on forever with this franchise, though more likely straight to dvd next time.

i am never, ever seeing another judd apatow movie in the theater again. 10-15 min in, i looked at my watch and knew that this is going to be the longest, piece of shit film i've ever sat through.
log your movie viewing habits, whether viewing at home or out at the theater. log how many times you might watch a movie from your own collection within a span of time, too.

Netflix: Atonement
Good and engaging. Other than the time shift at the end, there was nothing surprising, but it was beautifully shot and well acted.
Yes. I cried. But I always cry.

jumper (dvd) - just ok. another 'great concept/poor execution' movie. hayden christensen still doesn't have that "acting" thing down just yet.
