Re: What movies have you seen recently? Part 1
The Lovely Bones - pretty creepy and emotional, great performances, very good movie
The Backup Plan - average, very average. Not really funny, not really dramatic, not really the usual fun, well done chick flick
Clash of the Titans - watched this in our hotel room on pay per view and regret paying for it. Terrible, terrible movie. Sam Worthington was good (minus the dodgy accent) in Avatar but looked like a random off the street who has never acted in his life in this one. The story was rushed, the editing sucked, the CG was years behind the competition, it didn't even have good action scenes. Percy Jackson was much better than this crap.
Twilight Eclipse - the Mrs loves the books so went along with her. I was not afraid to admit I enjoyed the first two movies. Never claimed them to be anything special, more like good episodes of tv shows, but fun and certainly not only for chicks. This third movie was along the same lines.
At times I was thinking, 'this is rushed amateur crap' due to the dodgy wig on Bella, the C grade camera angles (when Edward and Bella are lying on their bed and the camera is looking right up Bella's nose hairs...) and some directing and acting that could have used another few takes. But the story was decent with a couple surprising laughs and no matter how corny or how 'not in line with mythology' the vampires and wolves were, their action scenes were cool.
Didn't feel like a blockbuster movie again, like I keep saying, either a good straight to dvd movie or tv show but it's not junk.

Shame they threw some naked dudes in there as well. 
" representing one point. If you see absolutely no popcorn smilies that means one of two things: I either did not manage to finish the film and thus do not feel it's fair to rate it, or I thought it sucked so badly that it wasn't even worth one popcorn man (such as the movie above, which would be my first review using my new format).
