Blood Diamond - I saw this today and it opened my eyes more. I've known what was going on, but seeing it in such detail made it even more powerful. I was with some ignorant friends of mine, who would laugh at certain parts, which was annoying. After we got to his house they both were making fun while throwing food away "Oops, those poor africans!". Made me sort of sick...
...anyway, it was a GREAT movie. I loved it.

Night at the Museum is great. Consistantly funny, a few hilarious bits, wraps up all the story ends neatly, great concept.

I went and saw The Pursuit of Happiness last weekend and I just saw this thread. It's a good movie in my opnion. Kinda sad though.

I know this one is kinda old...The Inside Man I just love it. It is suspenseful...brilliant concept.

Battlefield Earth is just so terrible. Get a bunch of people together who appreciate and mock terrible films and watch it for entertainment.

I watched Superman Returns yesterday. it's a difficult movie to rate, since it does many things *so* right yet does some other things so *very* wrong.

I didn't know much about the movie so I was surprised that it was actually about Superman returning home after a search for his home planet, and not about the rise of Superman, although there were a few flashback scenes thrown in. Overall I think this was a good idea, since it makes the movie a little different from all those other superhero movies that have come out recently.

The good: the atmosphere, adding just the right bit of nostalgia, the action sequences

the bad: the overall plot, people act pretty 'unnatural' just for plot reasons, a lot of their actions really don't make sense, pretty much everything related to Lex Luthor feels wrong, especially his 'master plan'. Also, a car mysteriously changes colour as Superman lifts it up...

Overall I did find the movie to be enjoyable, there were quite a few things I wish they did differently, but it's fun none the less.
