Saw Iron Man last night. I'll give it an 8/10. It was good for a marvel movie, as good as something like Spider Man II or X-Men II which were some of the best ones. Robert Downey Jr provides a lot of comic relief and was a perfect fit as Tony Stark.
Don't expect something with the tone of Batman Begins or Sin City, but a fun popcorn movie with lots of explosions, jokes, & special fx.

Glad to see this film reviewed because I've picked up the DVD a few times and read the back.. I like films like I.D. and The Football Factory so I was toying with the idea of getting it.

If it's dirt cheap thean buy it, just for a look at an american perspective on the subject. It's a great laugh. The cockney slang is awful and the acting is really weak. They even managed to squeeze in a LOTR style close up on Elijah's softly lit eyes.

Southland Tales - 5/10
Really wanted to like it. It takes balls and a bit of stupidity to make films like this. I hope he sharpens up next time. On an ideal plane this movie works, but the execution ruins it. Editing is especially obnoxious. The actors, for what it's worth, do a decent job. Justin Timberlake is probably the best actor in the film. How odd is that?

D'you like alien 3? I think it's the only sequel that stands up. It's not perfect but i really did like the mood of it. I last saw it about 4 years back

Stalker is quite a beautifull & interesting film, haven't seen Solaris for a while now, I should rewatch it again since I have the Criterion Collection lying somewhere around here in my room (I have the Andrei Rublev also, but I haven't watched it yet, just got it)

Alien fact no: 1 Description: Alien movies best to worst Content: Alien Alien 3 Alien 4 Aliens
I'm tired of pushing my Zerkalo agenda, but that movie is really where it's at! Tarkowski's other movies are almost as good, but not quite. And you better not have a different opinion.

The Signal 5/5! <---!!!
Awesome movie and very funny. I love how the nutcases reason and justify their murder rampages. They go around in bloody clothes and think people won't notice they killed someone. The ones that "know" they're not affected by the signal are the worst.
You gotta see this one. Some really funny scenes. "I'll deal with this. You go ahead and hot-wire the head in the meantime." One nutcase thinks he can stimulate the brain of a man he'd decapitated earlier "in self defense", in order to find out where the gf of the other nutcase is. Of course it works too, atleast in his head.
There's a short sequence at the beginning. The movie is nothing like that, it's just some intro and then the movie starts proper.

I agree, I was really dissapointed by it. Some of my friends keept ranting on and on about it (of course those friends would be the bunch who are most steriotypical "manly" type who olny want action / shooting / hot girls / big explosions etc.), so when I saw it i just didn't really care about that much.
The thing about Alien 4 is that it really is quite awesome until that "humalien" thing... though I did like the scenes where the crazy doctor guy was mergeing with the Alien thing...

Alien 4 was a bit pants. Bits of it weren't the end of the world but it was basically bad. The stereo type characters were boring.
Now, Aliens is hardly going to stand up against the first one but it's great for youre standard action space ting. In fact it's the best typically american space action shooter!

yea ridley scott and david fincher are both good directors so 1 & 3 were the best. aliens is the most blockbuster style because james cameron is a big blockbuster director. I like Jeunet for city of lost children but alien 4 just wasnt that good. I remember the cgi seeming really bad even for the time.
