Seven Pounds
An excellent movie.
Without giving any spoliers trust me you might want it with some chocolate and hankys.
I was quite mesmerized by it.
I think Will might get an Oscar Nod

Hello NNL 
"Traitor" ---> was very good "Quantum of Solace" ---> terrible "Death Race" ---> good ---> pure action more suitable for males "Wanted"---> sucks ---> excluding one scene of you know who  "Taken" ---> piece of trash ---> not worth a dime "Wall-E" ---> one of the best I watched this year "Tropic Thunder" ---> didn't like it that much
Are: "Changeling" "Transporter3"
good?

Well My View is different on the above movies. " Traitor" Exceptionally Good Should get an Oscar buzz but wont. A few movies have done justice to the topic of terrorism and this is on the top especially if you are looking from a True Muslim's point of view
" Quantum of Solace" ---> I liked this one cos i was hoping for a mean & Cold Bond and thats what Craig delivered. After the Jason Bourne Trilogy every moive fanatic had compared Bourne with Bond and coolness and coldness was more emitted from Bourne thats how i wanted my Bond character to be, charming and yet can kill without a flickr. So if you ask me this time Bond really stepped up to the plate and delivered cos in the last one he was hurt and i do mean hurt.
"Death Race" --->Yeah i would also say good i actually didnt notice much of the film cos i was busy looking at the girl
"Wanted"---> The only reason that film got traction was that Angie was there otherwise there isnt much to it. The only action scene i can liked was the bullet movements and thats pretty much it.
"Taken" ---> Sorry havent watched it yet. It on the pc but havent gotten around to it
"Wall-E" ---> Yup a good ole romantic movie also reminds me of Gogeta. I wonder where is he.
"Tropic Thunder" ---> It had too much hype to it like you have Jack Black, Robert Downy and Ben Stiller, i was expecting a hiliarious comdey masterpiece didnt live up to it.
" Eagle Eye " >> has one of the best car chases i have seen since Ronin and its a thought provoking movie. A Must Watch
" Transporter 3 " is more like an Audi Commercial rather than anything else to me atleast wasnt impressed by it. The fight scenes are good the car driving which was why the film is based wasnt that much. And seriously i do know some really hot Russian women who are also good actresses but the girl they picked is that much. but she is supposed to be Ukranian which i m not familiar with.
" Changeling" havent seen it yet, have the screener but havent gotten around to it yet.
" MAx Payne" Final a Justice done to game flick. Same as the game.

even though daniel craig is totally different from previous bonds, ( my favourite is pierce brosnan), i think, he is good in those cold blooded killer's character,after watching his role in "Elizabeth"(small role though but terrifying) and " Road to perdition".He should get all bad guy roles, lol.

Oh,what about us poor guys? Who is this new bond girl compared to Hally Berry?
In my opinion, the only scene worth watching in the entire film was the fight in the glass dome in the beginning of the movie. Otherwise, the movie was lame. Sorry

NNL, I see we agreed on all except James Bond which I was very disappointed with. I didn't watch Max P. or Eagle E. because their ratings weren't that good on IMDB. I was planning on watching "Body of Lies" instead.
In my opinion, all these new action movies are lame compared to "Bourne". That trilogy kicks whatever you want! Really, don't watch "Taken". It is extremely stupid and ridiculously silly.
Again, everyone watch "WALL-E" and "Traitor" till now best movies of the year.

You will find the movie not so interesting and seriously giving acting advice to the Directors and Actors esp Matt Damon on how to protray Jason Bourne as Robert Ludlum had originally concepted in his books. IF you ever get the chance to read RObert Ludlum books esp the Bourne series then you would understand the detailed description given of Bourne. " Righteous Kill " is another good movie to watch. Interesting foray by De Niro but i think Al Pancino is overacting here. I dont watch movies based on IMDB ratings i watch them following the actors or directors or producers and then a few to kill boredom. Those few do sometimes give a good time. Most of them are usually delievered to me by a friend on my pc he is hooked up to some private viewing site so he torrents them to me. So i usually get to watch before they hit threatres or on DVDs. Like the movie "Gran Trino" now that movie is based on a simple message but beautifully crafted. Like the Kungfu Panda a very beautiful message in a comedic style the idea is to pick it up .

Of course, Dark Knight aka Batman goes without mentioning. According to IMDB its the 4th best movie of all time.
Stupid silly nonsense movies of 2008:
-"Burn After Reading"---> don't be fooled by George Cloony ... if you really like him buy a poster of him instead  -"White Rabbit"---> piece of crap -I will get my PhD in parasitology before I think of watching any of the "High School Musical" crap -"Taken" silly as hell. An American retired secret agent kills half the French population and comes back home with his kidnapped daughter without being scratched and they live happily ever after.

Sorry  There is something very comical about this girl in the Bond Moive Olga and it was pointed out by David Letterman. U can search it online cos its a way bit rude too. It has happened to her in all her 3 flims. Bond, Hitman. MAx Payne. Which reminds me that " Hitman " have you watched that movie its awesome. Atleast it stuck to the character of the game. " Charlie Wilson's War " another good movie. " Street Kings " great one from Keanu.

I watched it ...I thought it had a great message but was such a downer. And not to mention it kept dragging on. I only finished because Will Smith was in it. Have you guys seen 'pursuit of happyness'? If you haven't it's a must.

I didn't like "Pursuit of Happiness" that much. In my opinion the movie should have been half sad and half happy. Not 2 hours of mere depression. A paragraph at the end of the movie is not sufficient to lift the viewer from the low state the film has put him in. Movies should make you feel good not bad.
