James and I have been having kind of a movie fest at our place thanks to the wonders of the internet. Yesterday we watched Eastern Promises, Mortal Kombat, Live Free or Die Hard, Daylight (well I only made it half way through) and Juno. We also watched Cloverfield together.

Juno was fantastic! Its by the same dude who made "Thank you for Smoking" and Juno is every bit as witty funny and touching (corny i know) as its predecessor. I can't recall the girl's name who plays the lead, but she's a great actress. It warmed my icy black heart!!! Its about Juno, a funny quirky teenager who accidentally gets herself knocked up, and the choices she has to make. Its more than that but I don't want to give away anything!!

Cloverfield was terrible. I've been ranting about it since yesterday, but I don't really want to rant about it anymore. All I will say is if you're expecting a giant monster and/or entertaining characters prepare to be disappointed.

Live Free or Die Hard is your standard Die Hard although once you get into a certain point of the movie the bad guy's intimidation level drops by 150%

Eastern Promises is my favorite movie from 2007 next to No Country for Old Men. Viggo is AWESOME BEYOND AWESOME in this. He puts out a cigarette on his tongue and shivs the hell out of two dudes in a brutal fight scene while naked. Theres also this amazing Russian mafia initiation scene which includes vicious insults and tattoos. The story is fantastic and well paced. Naomi Watts is great. LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Go Cronenberg

Mortal Kombat is fun cheese, and I wanted all the side characters in Daylight to die an awful horrible death... well besides the dude who worked in the tunnels he was cool

THE END
