Star Trek (2009)
the movies are now in an alternate timeline from the series
I reckon it's mostly this.  Although it's entirely possible later events (such as the crew's meeting with Lucifer at the centre of the galaxy or TNG, DS9 and Voyager) will happen, it may not happen in exactly the same way.  I can't remember how much Starfleet training they said Kirk received in the new film, but they've changed his past now.

I do agree with what you said about Pine's Kirk impression, I felt his mannerisms were spot-on :D

In Groundhog Day he always wakes up in the same day. In 50 First Dates the girl has a medical condition that causes memory loss when she goes to sleep. Every day when she wakes up she thinks she's living the day in which she had the accident.
Oh, so it's like Groundhog Day, but in reverse

Now Zoidberg is the popular one!

I saw Moon and Hurt Locker. I'm too sleepy to say more then i really liked both. The lead in Hurt Locker is really good. I'd see a new movie he's in just to see if his acting stays strong.

I'll come back and read through the last few comments later when I'm more alert  :P

I haven't seen swat.. so I didn't recognize him. In general I guess I like how the whole movie was pushed to its limits, but not past them. It was believeable and provocative, but it didn't beat you over the head.

Moon was really good too.

I may watch Contact in a few years from now, it's not often I dislike science-fiction.  I sat through Andromeda, for gawds sayk!  By the way, don't watch Andromeda, it just gets silly.

The old one, or the remade one?

In the new film I got the idea that he basically had none :D Or.. only a couple of weeks, or maybe a couple of months... Is that not right? Maybe they'll make him backtrack and go do some more training. Has anyone heard about a new script for a sequel?

It's good, you'll like it. The lead in it is good too. I just can't ever completley get over him playing the evil guy in Green Mile >_< He was just to ookie in that role...good, but gross. Luckily he was so good in The Moon, it shook my mental picture of him. The story is fairly easy to guess So don't read additional spoilers), but still really good. And the effects and everything are great.

Inglorious Basterds (2009)

Another Tatantino classic. Excellent casting (I thought Rod Taylor was dead  :D), excellent acting (Brad Pitt probably played his character a bit too comical, but his jaw-jutting performance was hilarious) and as usual excellent writing and directing.

9/10

The Book of Eli

Pretty enjoyable and fun flick. I really wanted to know about how they found themselves in their situation. A bit more background would have been better.
Nice and kick-ass action scenes.

The movies can be summed up in 5 words:

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

This was pretty good, not sure it deserved to be the award-hog it was, but it was enjoyable. The young cast members were probably better actors than the elder actors though.

Did you not find it just a tad far fetched?

I wasn't paying attention to it but Open Season was just on. I should rent it and watch it. Looks funny.
