I want to see let me in
I recommend against watching Repo Men - 3/10 Good action/fight scenes, flimsy plot, so so acting, and a soundtrack that failed its attempt to be spectacular. I couldn't get into the first half of the movie at all (weak story), and second half ended up being entertainingly bad.
Prince of Persia - 5/10 if you generally dislike cute, cheesy Disney movies than stay away. I found the movie very entertaining and much better than I had anticipated. Or maybe it just seemed good because I had just finished watching Repo Men...
Get Him to The Greek - 6.5/10 Funny, nice cast, some memorable scenes.
Walk Hard The Dewey Cox Story - 9/10 re-watched the film this weekend... even better the second time around. Packed with talented performances.
Mr Nobody - 9/10 Wow, a very creative film with lots of style. Looks and sounds great. An interesting and complex story that will challenge you. I hate to give away any details, but this film is tailored for the SF community.

Yes, Hal had the top secret data of the monolith beakoning from the moon and Jupiter. But this does not explain why Hal mal-functioned. I suspect this was caused by the aliens - they already planted the monolith to draw humans to Jupiter. The spaceship was bound for the moon - the malfunction pulled it to Jupiter. Hal was innocent here.
Also, what do you think was the agenda of the aliens and what does the embryo in the final frames represent?
I caught Fantastic Mr. Fox a couple of days ago. I'm normally not a big fan of "family" movies, but this was just a delightful little movie. Definitely worth a watch, especially if you have kids.
If you have a penchant for the twisted, give "Bad Boy Bubby" a try.
it was, after all, the second highest grossing film in Norway in 1995

An entertaining film.
So you judge movies not by how entertaining they are, but by what other movies the "actions" have been in?

I think he meant to say "actors" and I'll correct that. "Has-beens" refers to people, not actions.
i watched "office space" again last night. what a classic!
also a particular fave of mine is "waiting". if you've ever worked in the food service industry it's so dead-on what it's really like and hilarious. and if you are a restaurant patron, you NEED to watch this movie, just so you know...don't fuck with the people who are handling your food. hee hee (no really).

well when the people involved are all to old and out of shape to play action heroes in an action movie you better believe it. I'm not going to watch a movie stared by people who were never that great of actors to begin with.
You obviously haven't seen the movie or any of the people involved. It's true that most of them had their heydays in the 80s and early 90s, but not all of them. Jason Statham and Jet Li - two of the four main good guys - are both currently popular actors. And they clearly weren't out of shape. Stallone and Lundgren probably have better physiques than a lot of people half their respective ages.
Just watched this on your recommendation...wow. Unlike anything I've ever seen before. It's a movie about the choices we make in life...and as one critic wrote "wonderfully confusing."
recently, i've watched "the box", which was very entertaining. not what i expected at all. i liked it.
i also saw "hereafter", and i thought it was ok. my husband liked it alot, but with all the hype and matt damon, and clint eastwood, and steven spielberg involved, i expected a little more.

How to Train Your Dragon - 9/10 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Awesome.
