Batman Forever is in no way better than The Dark Knight

Into the wild



10/10

One of the best films i have ever seen

Into the Wild is writer/director Sean Penn's adaptation of the popular book by Jon Krakauer, a nonfiction account of the post-collegiate wanderings of a young Virginia man, who divorces himself from his friends, family, and possessions in search of a greater spiritual knowledge and communion with nature. Upon his 1990 graduation from Emory University in Atlanta, Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) walks away from a loving if dysfunctional family and sends his nearly 25,000-dollar life savings to Oxfam International. Instead of the normal life his parents planned for him, Chris rechristens himself "Alexander Supertramp" and heads west in his beaten-up automobile until it no longer runs, at which point he takes up hitchhiking. The goal on the horizon? Alaska. By hook or by crook -- but without his limited cash, which he symbolically sets aflame -- Chris/Alexander determines to make it to his personal promised land, with stops along the way to experience America and its people. These adventures include a kayak trip down dangerous rapids, a gig working in a grain mill, extended stays with a hippie couple and a kindly old widower -- and enough cold, hunger, and exhaustion to leave him emotionally defeated more than once. Meanwhile, his parents (William Hurt and Marcia Gay Harden) and sister (Jena Malone) haven't received so much as a postcard from him, and begin to fear the worst.

Spoiler:

Really sad ending though and it's based on a true story as well shows the guys picture at the end of the film

It has an amazing soundtrack

I watched Animal Kingdom last night - 10/10 a thoroughly absorbing film I highly recommend it. It's an Australian study of a gangster family, it hasn't got the same fast pace of Goodfellas or the Godfather movies but it really draws you into the characters

Inglorious Bastards, second time I've seen it but liked it a lot better this time, don't think I really got it first time

[Boothy]

Got free tickets to see Rise of the Planet of the Apes this morning.

I really enjoyed it. Gave it an 8/10 on IMDb.

Watchmen - It was unusual, still haven't decided if I liked it or not

Super 8 - pretty good for a kids movie

I watched it and I've decided that was three hours and five minutes I will never get back.

It was very strange and very long

Watched Fair Game last night - I'm not really into political thrillers but it was quite absorbing as it was based on a true story

Super 8 - I think it was a bit foolish to try and aim for 3 different types of audiences - kids, family and sci-fi fans - and I think it will have succeeded in the first two. But the alien and the story behind it I think were left too vague and I wasn't really moved by

Spoiler:

its quest to return to its planet

.
However, it was very funny, moving and there were plenty of action scenes to keep you entertained. I'd say it was 9/10 for a family film. Very 'Stand by Me' meets 'E.T.'
