Lawless, thought it was pretty good, aside from Tom Hardy's bloody mumbling all the way through it. Guy Pierce kind of stole this movie, but then there were some, I wouldn't say ordinary but nothing special performances by LeBeouf, Hardy and even Gary Oldman. So against that backdrop, Pierce really stood out. 7.5/10

Due Date. I'll watch Zach Galifianakis in anything, I find him pretty entertaining. Unfortunately this movie came off as a 'pay or play' sort of thing. 6.5/10

I watched 'Easy A' this afternoon. If there's anything i'm taking away from it it's that i'm way to old to be watching teen films

Haha oh shit, I hope Dennis doesn't see this! It's got some good roles by grown up actors though

Saw Gatsby. If you see it, 3D is really the only way to with the effects. That said, I felt it was REALLY over-hyped since everyone in the US has to read the book in high school at some point. Edgerton was probably the best performance in the film and its a shame we didn't get to see much of him. Not a fan of the soundtrack since this was a 20s movie and Jazz would have worked fine. It was ok, but felt like Baz was trying to make this another Moulin Rouge 6/10

I am not a fan of Lurhmann, I believe he is a 1 trick pony (granted that trick worked for 3 films). What has he done to the soundtrack? I can just imagine though. Nice that you acknowledge Joel Edgerton, he's a great actor who deserves more roles. You could say I am biased because he's an Aussie

but I certainly am not biased towards Baz!

soundtrack has a lot of modern stuff and it just feels out of place here. Just seems like a cheap way to sell the soundtrack or make the movie more of a musicale. Edgerton's work has been really good and it's the saving grace of the film.
