From Dusk Till Dawn
Best vampire movie ever.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Never sure whether I like this film or not... I think I do. Sands is an awesome character, and it's nice to just pop on while you're doing something else, as it seems to be more a series of cool scenes and moments than a coherent film, so you don't have to pay a lot of attention to enjoy it.
The climax is really good with Sands' plot line, though El's scenes are a little lacking. In fact, Sands kinda steals the show for the whole film, now that I think about it...
I watched it with Robert Rodriguez's commentary, he mentioned doing "Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Part 2 + 3", about Sands' further adventures, so he'd have two trilogies, but only five films. I would love to see that, though I doubt it'll happen.
Best bit is easily when Sands surprise-shoots Eva Mendes with his fake arm on to trick her, even though it's pretty much impossible for him to have planned that out. You play along because it's so rewarding when he does it.]
In Time
Pretty cool premise, though easily could gave been done way better. Don't know how fond I am of Justin Timberlake's acting prowess, though (he's good in roles that suit him, eg. The Social Network, but otherwise...).
Cillian Murphy was fun in this, though his character was pretty clichéd and two dimensional. Maybe that's why he was fun... Otherwise the cast just felt like they were there to look pretty, especially Amanda Seyfried. Though I'm not complaining about her.
The Minutemen sub-plot was pretty tiresome and got old quickly. Those characters were dumb.
Overall very-slightly above mediocre, for a cool concept and Amanda's constant short skirts (literally the only style she had for all her scenes).
Drive
Wow. This was amazing.
the effects are going to be great!
