    Invictus 8/10

    Watching the All Blacks perform Haka was probably the best part...
    But all in all, the movie was fairly moving.

    Only problem was the tempo of the movie, but I'll still give it a 8.

    L'empire des loups, way too many plot turns. First you think it's a supernatural thriller, than it's about the grey wolves (what cop has never heard of the grey wolves they aren't that mysterious), and than the lead actress who lost her memory turns out to be a Turkish terrorist deus ex machina with insane combat skills.

    Well thanks for giving away the whole plot Frag.

    Recently I've seen The Hurt Locker, which was great, Serpico, which was also great, The Insider, yet another great film, and Charlie Wilson's War, which was quite good. The war scenes weren't that good, though luckily they were few in number. Charlie's first visit to the camp was much more effective at conveying emotion.

    And finally, I also saw GI Joe Rise of Cobra. Good grief, awful. Barely better than transformers 2. Barely.

    Yeah right even if you wanted to see a French movie it wouldn't be released anywhere near your trailer. And if it would you would shoot it.

    Anyway, 'They', one of the best horror-movies since, well a while. Some obvious love for Jacob's Ladder and Lovecraft.

    Up. The first 15 mins or so were surprisingly sad for a Pixar film, but overall I really enjoyed it. I think it had a good message to it as well. A friend at work said it was better than Ratatouille, but I've got to disagree, Ratatouille is still my all time favorite Pixar film.

    As a bit of a culinary enthusiast I enjoyed Ratatouille. Very cute.

    I have never cried so hard at a movie as *spoiler*
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    as when Anton Ego got his plate of Ratatouille and was transported back to his mother's cooking. They had to mob me up.

    In fact, tears are running down my cheeks as I write this, simply thinking about it. I cry like a baby every time I see the movie.

    Not immediately apparant, but so much of the movie is based on actual persons, events and places! Genius.

    Ratatouille is underrated. Such a great movie!
