Fantastic 4

I was an okay movie, not fantastic, but innocent fun. I had fun with it and it might actually end up in my collection at some point. It had some of the same structual faults as Daredevil, but I liked the characters, and it's obvious that this film is just a buildup for the next movie.
The end fight was way to short. Actually on of the same things that bugged me about Daredevil.. Am wondering how it'll be in the next movie. I will go see the next movie. In short, much better than I'd expected, but not what I would be jumping up and down for.

Sin CIty

Just got back from my second viewing of Sin City.

I do love this movie, and I'll be buying it the second the 2-disk edition is released. Anyways, this movie is visually stunning. Kind of weird to say that about a mainly black'n white movie, but it's true. The few colours that pop up just add to the gritty feel of the movie, and help draw attention to the simple things we might have missed, like Dwight's shoes.
The stories are simple, and I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much if they were taken out of the CGI/black'n white/gritty setting, and each segment made in to a separate film. It's the style and the feel that this movie delivers that kept me in my seat and enjoying myself, that and the really cool characters.
First up is two short stories, one with Josh Hartnett, and the beginning of Bruce Willis' story. Don't think it lasts for more than 10-15 minutes in total, before the first main event. The Hard Good-Bye.

Constantine

I liked it, I must say. It's not the deepest movie I've ever seen, but I thought the visuals, style and such is really cool. I like the camera angles and use of color. Hell is really well made as well.
The role fit Keanu Reeves and his limited facial expressions well. The character, Constantine, is a dark and serious type, and that just worked very well for him. I really liked Rachel Weisz's character too, gave another view to the situation, a more emotional element to the film.
I know it's a far cry from the source material, but if you let the film stand on its own two feet it's pretty enjoyable.

The Phantom of the Opera

I actually liked the movie very much. I never really knew much of what the story was or who the players were, all I knew was that The phantom had a thing for Christine, and that he wore a mask.
At times the movie feels a bit long and dregged out. However I enjoyed the film, if only for the use of colors and settings. The black and white introduction was great, and when the theme started playing while the opera house transformed into its glorious former self was just brilliant. I didn't agree with all the insertions of the black and white scenes, the first and last one would have been enough.
I loved the music, I've never been a big fan of musicals, but I really liked Phantom.
I had my doubts about Gerard's singing ability, but that quickly evaporated, really liked his voice. I think everybody did a good job, and I liked the way things were done.

So in short I liked it even though I sometimes felt things were a bit slow gowing.

Wimbledon

Wimbledon has some sweet and charming moments, but the romance just happened all at once. Then when the big end moment came, it wouldn’t stop, I felt like it went on forever. 
I’ll recommend this movie to tennis enthusiasts and people who can sit through any form of romantic film. 
I did get a kick out of seeing Bernard Hill (Theoden) as Paul Bettany’s father, without the beard and with short hair. And that’s really all I have to say about that.

Hellboy

I did enjoy this film, but there was something about that film that bugged me, I just can’t put my finger on it. There were some flaws in logic. There was one of the crucial moments towards the end, and a choice, that didn’t make sense to me, with respect to the powers that the characters had. Also I felt that some of the characters were underdeveloped, there was just something missing.
Baby HellBoy was adorable tho. It was fun and I remember having fun with it, but it wasn't what I expected.

The Day After Tomorrow

In short I liked it. It wasn't a overly deep film, it was the kind of movie fun I've been longing for for a long time.
I wasn't actually expecting to enjoy myself to much, but from the first disaster I was squirming in my seat, in a good way that is.

When we left the cinema we were gushing, I haven't had this much fun in the cinema in a long while. Now the big question is; would I have felt the same a few months ago? I honestly don't know, all I can say is if you liked "Independence Day" you'll probably enjoy this.

It was great to see Dennis Quaid in a good role, hope it gives him a boost.
Jake Gyllenhaal was adorable. Mom fell in love with him, I just think he's über-huggable.
Ian Holm was as good as always, he is a serious actor, but he did have a little humorous glimt in his eye in this film.

Troy

It was an ok movie, but I didn't get emotionally involved in what happened, there was one scene toward the end where I started caring a little, but that was to little to late.

The battle scenes have been compared with LOTR, saying they're good, but doesn't come near to LOTR. This is true, they're good, but can't compare to LOTR.

The acting was good, Orlando wasn't as sucky as expected.
Brad Pitt was good, but it was hard to let go of the fact that he's Brad Pitt. In my eyes he's better suited to play contemporary roles, not historic ones.
Eric Bana did good, he's a good actor, and is still at that stage where he gives it his all, without going over the top.
Sean Bean, as good as ever.
Brian Cox, the man I love to hate. Well, didn't really care until a point toward the end, but it's true; he really is a good psycho.
Of the main three females in this movie, it was Saffron Burrows that I liked the most.
It was nice to see Tyler Mane again, even though he didn't have much screen time.
Now the old squad, I  don't really have a clue. I don't feel like writing anymore, they were good.

I'll have to admit that I agree with some of the reviews I've read. This is a good movie, with a lot of really good shoots and scenes, but it lacks the emotion. The point where I started caring was just because it hit a nerve, if that were not the case I doubt I would have gotten much out of it.

What gets me is that the guy who write the screenplay grew up with this story, and still they managed to turn in into a Hollywood thing.

Sylvia

This is the biographical film about Sylvia Plath. I was bored out of my mind... but if you like movies about suicidal poem writes who are insanely jealous and paranoid about her husband being unfaithful, this might be right up your alley.

I was just annoyed by the end of it. The only thing I could appreciate was the mise-en-scene.

Van Helsing

I finally got to see "Van Helsing" last night, and I honestly don't know what to think. There was stuff I liked, and there was stuff I didn't like... I might have to say that this is my least favorite Hugh Jackman film.
Stephen Sommers has come a long way since his "Huck Finn" years, and I think he's become a little to fond of CGI effects. Now, you would expect effects from a movie such as this, but at some times I felt they were overdone.

Anyways, I don't expect people to like it to be honest. I went to that movie expecting it to suck major quantities of ass, and therefore got better than I expected.
I've always had problems with movies where stuff mainly happen in the dark. This movie uses mostly gray and dark gray tones, and I can't really remember anything brighter than that.
I liked the premise of the movie, and the idea behind it, I just don't feel like they realized it as well as they could. It's good as a homage to the old movies, but I'm not sure it does them justice.
Hugh Jackman delivered a great performance, as always.
I really liked David Wenham's character, just things he said and did. He's comic relief and good at it.
Kate Beckinsale... seriously... she does good, but I don't really see the point in her character being a woman other than being a love interest for Van Helsing, and saying "Oh, my God" as often as possible.
Richard Roxburgh, I'm not really sure what to think of him as Dracula, I had a hard time buying it to be honest.
In some ways this movie reminds me of "LXG", but the difference is that "Van Helsing" will probably end up in my DVD collection. Basically because of Hugh Jackman and David Wenham, and the fact that there were some sequences I liked, and some of the dialog was good.
The character of Van Helsing has quite a few things in common with Wolverine, which is probably another reason why I'll end up buying it.

If you're able to enjoy a movie just because of one actor, you probably will like it, I had two actors to keep me occupied, so I got into it.
Tell me what you think, because I'm still not a hundred percent sure. The jury inside my head is hung on this one.
