As a film, it'd get 7/10, but in terms of my enjoyment of the intentional silliness (which the reviewers seemed to miss...), i'd give it 9/10. I had a massive grin on my face all the way through it
Adrien Brody, Keira Knightley, Kris Kristofferson and Kelly Lynch star in a film about a Gulf War veteran wrongly sent to a mental institution after the killing of a cop, who is experimented with isolation as a form of treatment. The isolation treatment causes him to have flashbacks of his future, changing his life forever. The film, despite the odd premise, is quite good, touching and watchable.
Czech fairy tale/horror film about a childless woman who becomes obsessed with a tree stump in the shape of a baby, she believes it is her son - and then it comes to life.
I really enjoyed this highly unusual and imaginative film. I thought it wouldn't be my 'type', but it was brilliant.
That film is fantastic on so many levels. Although most people seem to view it positively I think it is underrated as I can't remember ever seeing it on the greatest movies countdowns and I think it deserves it as it mixes so many genres and topics brilliantly.
It is even sadder watching it as well after what happened to Patrick Swayze
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
No as good as the first two as too much from the book was cut out. It needed at least an extra 20 minutes.
I prefered this to the Harry Potter film even if that is an better film over all.
Aguirre, the Wrath of God - I was expecting to like this a lot more than I did, to be honest. It was decent, and the final 20 minutes were pretty good, but most of it felt fairly flat for me. Klaus Kinski was pretty awesome as some kind of lopsided anti-hero, and the final scene was quite powerful. But overall... disappointed.
Somewhere. Possibly the most boring film I've ever seen. Virtually nothing happens, there's no real story or character development. It's like watching two random people you don't care about go about their lives for two hours. Makes It's Complicated look like Hard Target.

i intend to watch the grinch over xmas with jim carey

Inception - 8/10 Thumbs up for a genuinely intriguing Hollywood blockbuster, but a few points knocked off for some slow pacing in parts, and ultimately for being a tad predictable. Or maybe they thought it clever to build up to a twist where the twist was there was no twist, who knows?

haha, i love the fact that the twist is that there may or may not be a twist.
The A-Team 7/10
Magnolia 8/10 (would be 10 if it wasn't some extremely surreal ending)

Not bad, but predictable, and relied too much on "BOOOO!!" type scares. 6.5/10

The Santa Clause 2 - 8/10
Both really good Christmas films, but I enjoy the second one more, think it's funnier and Elizabeth Mitchell is always a bonus
