American History X
A rather graphic movie, but one which I would recommend everyone watching at some point in their lives. It really kicks open the doors on racism and hatred. I've always been a big fan of Norton, and this was certainly one of his better roles. I'm not sure many other people would have been able to pull it off.

I watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine yesterday.
... It was beautiful, definitely one of the better movies in the X-Men movie series(cus now I can't call it a trilogy anymore)
However, some fight scenes got annoying, especially the last one. But hey, it's all forgiven whenever I think back to Sabretooth's respond to Wolverine's claws.

The last movie I watched was....also...X-Men Wolverine: Origins. I'm actually going to have to say that this is the best X-Men movie out of the 4 of them. With 3 coming in close second place.

I went and watched the new Terminator movie, tonight.
It was every bit of action and special effects a guy could ask for in a movie with Bale as a lead, these days. The plot was solid enough and they had alot of good tie-backs to the old movies, which was nice to see. Hell, even the young feller' they got to play the role of Kyle had an incredible nack for holding the role proper.
The only complaint I had walking out of the theater was that it all seemed too predictable. I'm still trying to put my thumb on why exactly that is, but I'm sure it won't come to me anytime soon.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
I went and watched a matinee of the movie today. Soda and a box of Milk Duds firmly in hand, I walked into a packed room of kids and folks my age at 12:15pm. It was a great movie. A visual explosion that challenged the senses. I had a hard time keeping up, on several different occasions, and I tend to fly pretty fast upstairs.
In all honesty though, as awesome as it was, it seemed a bit too dumbed down for my taste. Some of the moments of light-hearted comedy seemed inappropriate for children entirely. I guess that's one of the challenges in trying to suit both a young and old audience alike. The twins, in particular.
There were definitely some epic moments, though. I won't go into detail and spoil anything, but the scene with Prime and Sam in the woods was very well done. So was the moment with Bumblebee by the campfire before the crew goes in search of the Seekers.
It's about time Bumblebee got to put some smack down.

I went and saw Paranormal Activity and in all honesty I was quite impressed with it, not many movies now a days can freak me out but this movie succeeded in doing so, I was curious to know if anyone on the site had seen it also and I would like to know what their impression of it was.
