Rory Culkin was great in it too, always liked him, especially in Signs. him and Kieran got the acting chops in the Culkin family apparently, although Macaulay was good in Saved.

Saved, now theres something I havent watched in ages...do I even own that?

edit: balls I dont ,grrr hate that when you've got it in your head you want to watch something and cant..

Rory and Kieran definitely got the talent in that film - Kieran was very good in 'Igby Goes Down' actually.

And didn't really liked 'Saved' much to be honest.. but you wanna see a bad Macauley Culkin performance? Watch 'The Good Son' - christ!

Yep, Josh Peck changed alright. But he's still putting in fantastic performances - give The Wackness a watch!

Religilous: Not really sure what to make of this. Bill Maher doesn't come across as particularly likeable or funny. And probably some of the funniest bits of the movie are quotatiosn that appear on the bottom of the screen completely undermining some of the comment being made by those he is interviewing. It starts out ok and some of the opinions in it will make you laugh more out of disbelief than being funny, but then kinda loses it's way.

The best way of summing it up is kinda like a one sided fight, its great to watch at first but as it continues and you realise the losing side can't defend themself you just don't want to watch any more.

After this I went on somewhat of a DC animated spree.

Watched Batman: Under The Red Hood, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.

Each of these are enjoyable but I think Under the Red Hood really stands out and I would recommend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in the Batman character. The other two are ok, with Crisis on two Earths probably slightly better than Superman/Batman. One thing that I really like is the variation in the art styles of the three. None of them are even close in style, with Superman/Batman doing a really good job of transferring Ed McGuiness' art style over (will be interesting to see if the next movie in the series mimics Michael Turner's art style**).

As more of a Marvel fan watching these made me long for some Marvel dvd movies adapting some well known stories and trying to animate the in the style of the books artists.

**Just checked the trailer and Youtube and it does.

I liked this film big time.True story about climbing the eiger.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM3e4i2KBD0

In 1937, as the Nazis talked war, two young Aryan climbers attempted the unconquered North Face of the Eiger, a near-vertical deathtrap. The Hitler-bent press were chasing glorification, but fate intervened, and what begins as a feel-the-scale climbing epic evolves into a disaster movie, shot with frostbitten verisimilitude by former ad-director Stölzl. While his film’s strengths are principally visceral, Stölzl, like many of the Oliver Hirschbiegel-led generation of new German directors, is also keen to emphasise the cruel ironies of his country’s dark history — that, beneath a philosophy prizing human endeavour over human life, the climbers’ choices were a victory for compassion.

Constantine- havent watched it in ages, its better than I remember it being, some really cool scenes and Tilda Swinton is brilliant as Gabriel in it, Peter Stormare's cameo as Lucifer is a genius bit of casting as well

I've been watching loads of films of recently.

I'm not easy to please at all, especially when it comes to movies and music. I can be very very selective at times. I just enjoyed these movies.
