Fuck, forgot SWEENY TODD. Loved this too.

I think I've only see The Incredible Hulk this year. I wanted to see plenty though, I just never got round to it (and the finances are rather strained.)

Since it's the only one, I guess it will have to be my best and worst film.

Actually it was ok.  Not much in way of story-line but fairly good stompy fun.  Ang Lee's Hulk for me was too far the other way- lots of psychological stuff. Here's hoping that if they do  Hulk sequel they get the balance right.

TordelBack

Quote...good Decent storylines...

Anyone but me see The Changeling?   That had edge-of-the-seat story-driven tension if ever I saw it.  Awesome, if horrible, film.

Martin Jameson

Most of the above but I really enjoyed Hancock too.

BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD

Based on the recommendations of this thread (Marisa Tomei), I checked this out this weekend.

Was actually pretty disappointed - it was pretty much a film for the actors rather than the audience (and went downhill after the very opening scene - woof!).

There was some fun to be had in watching the whole thing unravel due to the sheer incompetence of all involved (and not a plucky, deteremined cop who needs just 24 more hours) but to leave Hank's fate unresolved was distinctly off.

I've seen Albert Finney do that Albert Finney act a few many times now as well.

But still, Marisa Tomei in the buff.

Be excellent to each other. And party on!
