Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence -  2/5    , great visuals  but storywise a complete waste of time for me.
 
  The Incredibles - 4/5

I contemplated giving it 4, but on reflection determined it  was too insubstantial for that. Interesting enough to watch  while it's on, but not something to really revisit.
 
  To Be And To Have is the best documentary about kids. Ever.  The scene where one of the kids figures out that he can  count to *any* number is brilliant. You can almost see a  bulb light up above his head.

If you're referring to the remake, no it wasn't that  bad, but it was far from the excellent original, which is  5/5. The CGI messed it up quite a bit in the remake. The  sound of Kayako approaching still gives me the creeps  though.

for me cgi also ruined one of the best scenes in the ring  remake. That scene practically cost nothing to do in the  original... why make a realistic scene look unrealistic by  using cgi?

yeah, i totally agree...it would only take a little to make  it perfect. but as you say a very fine debut!
  it felt like something fresh, although it was all seen  before...maybe coz of the way it was filmed..and it had sad  and fun moments and that's always great. it started of  fantastic, but then when he gets all romantic with natalie  kinda spoils it..way too much saccharin :)

i got the feeling that Braff was trying to emulate Wes  Anderson who i think is untouchable.  It would have been  cooler if Braff had a more unique voice.  Still good though.   I'm interested to see what he does next!

twin sisters - 3/5
  i went along not knowing a thing about it and it turned out  to be pretty good. in a nutshell it's the story of two twin  sisters who are seperated at a young age and who's lives are  affected by world war 2. The movie poster said it received  an academy award nomination for best foreign language film,  not like that really means anything but i suppose it gives  the movie some credit.

I know :) which is fair enough. I can definately understand  some westerners preffering it, especially considering the  original isn't exactly perfect, although I think it benifits  from no cgi ;)
 
  However, the remake of A Tale of Two Sisters (brilliant Korean  horror) can't possibly be better than the original, the  original is perfect in almost every way and has a fairly  complex story, the hollywood version will be dumbed down so  much. It will be mildly amusing to see how bad this one  turns out.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless mind ____ 4,5/5
  an absolutely brilliant movie... I really much liked it.  There is a big lesson to take out of it...  it's very sad,  at some points you even feel like turning it off... But you  can't 'cause it's so good and entertaining.... Jim Carrey's  best performance if you ask me

Garden State - 3/5 It was nicely filmed, funny at times and Natalie Portman was  great. Other than that it wasn't anything special really.
 
  Izo - 1/5 Takashi Miikes latest. A huge stinking pile of shit. Avoid!
