Total Recall is one of my favourite Schwarzenegger movies (although every movie starring him is worth a watch because...he's Arnold). It has a great plot, brilliant action, and is a really good Sci-Fi/Action movie that rivals 'Terminator' IMO. It also has one of my favourite Schwarzenegger moments...and he doesn't even say anything.

"Was that your wife?"
ARNIE: "Yeah"
"What a b***h"
*Arnie gives this awesome expression that it a cross between contemplation and agreement*

I remember someone called it "Ben Hur with orgies"....(Obviously I would rather watch Ben Hur)

Alice in Wonderland (1951)
I've seen a fair amount of animated Disney musicals, but had not until now seen this one. It was a treat to watch: well-animated and whimsical.
The Italian Job (1969)
Call me crazy, but I liked the remake better. The original was too unfocused, which is understandable given its large cast of characters, but still unappealing.
Moon
Wow. Just, wow. This film is a stellar performance from all involved in terms of acting, direction, and production. It's good to see quality "hard science fiction" can still be produced - and on a $5 million budget, no less.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that. The music was quite good.

Batman Begins
I loved it. Watching The Dark Knight as fast as I can now.

I also really want to see Moon now that you guys are going gaga over it.

Latest video: splat.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Haha, that was pretty bad. Some of the visuals were okay, I guess (disregarding the effects shots clearly designed for the 3D attraction), but otherwise, the film is sort of a mess. I was surprised at how straightforward the whole thing was, given that it's a Burton film (even more weird given the source material), and I remember being totally sick of the film before I even reached the halfway mark.

Unstoppable

A solid little thriller, well-made and certainly very intense, especially in the last hour or so. The use of practical special effects is a nice breath of fresh air for a film like this that could easily have substituted CGI instead.

Barfly

Very strange, unique film with good performances from Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway. You'd think a film about alcoholics would be more depressing, but the film treats the material in a way that's far more thoughtful than pitying.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Finally got a chance to see this, and I can see why it's so highly regarded. A fantastic western with gorgeous cinematography. The relationship between Butch and Sundance was excellent, Paul Newman and Robert Redford were wonderful together.

Zombieland

This film is a lot of fun. Good performances all around, and it definitely earned several laughs from me.

Winter's Bone

Definitely improves on the second viewing. For being such a deliberately-paced film, it's gripping and unnerving in a way you wouldn't expect. John Hawkes' performance in particular really stood out to me this time; there's such a subdued intensity to his character that's really outstanding.

I saw The Dilemma. It sucked.

And it has Booker T and the mgs. Which is awesome.

The Fighter
Won free tickets for this. Great film, great acting etc but I felt that the ending was kind of predictable, while the middle of the movie wasn't. I don't think Melissa Leo really deserved the oscar, though.

The Trip - BRAWL 2012

Tangled oh yeah!

Tangled

The trailers really don't do it justice. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's the best film ever, but from where I'm standing, it's Disney's best CGI film; better than Bolt, and definitely better than Chicken Little.
