Splinter was actually pretty good. It just goes to show you that the SciFi Channel actually does give these guys a big enough budget to make good films. Most directors just blow it on CGI instead of, say, night cameras, decent actors, and a writer.

Yeah, I was actually surprised it turned out half way decent and it was nice to see a Sci-Fi movie not use excessive CGI, however, I'm totally looking forward to Alien v.s Hunter. |

Coraline
Most completely fun adventure. It follows somewhat of a formula, but it's just so delightful and cute, and moves along quickly enough.
The movie is targeted a bit more towards girls, but anyone can enjoy it. In fact, every age and demographic was in the theatre when I saw it.

X (Movie version on Sci-fi)
Meh, decent movie, with Manga UK's usual monotone dub and sub-par acting.

Don't forget the terrible translation. "You have the power to succeed at the things that you want to accomplish!" "Watch out--there may be danger." That aside, it was another visual treat from the makers of Vampire Hunter D and Ninja Scroll. |

Full Metal Jacket
Even though it's been so thoroughly re-circulated and satirized in pop culture, finally seeing the real thing kept me glued.

Nobody else has seen Coraline? What's wrong with you people? Too jaded and grumpy to enjoy it, I suppose. 
Somebody pointed up that the new Star Trek looks like it's actually the spiritual sequel to the Lost in Space movie. I'm going to give the new Star Trek a chance in this regard, 'cuz a revitalized and retold Star Trek would be wonderful, but so far the observation seems true. Thoughts? |

Killer Clowns From Outer Space Always a fun movie. Coraline I'll probably rent it, but I'd have to get over the fact that loltimburtonisoverrated is directing it. |

In fact, Selick directed Nightmare Before Christmas, as well. That's why these movies are good. Tim Burton is the false prophet of Hot Topic, an ebon idol for the ignorant. Mostly. |

Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Always a fun movie. Fixed. I'd like to see Taken this weekend, but I really shouldn't spend any money. |

The last thing I watched was Jeremiah that post apocalyptic mini series on sci-fi. I really enjoyed it. Solid acting, neat story, and some really nice music. Fixed. I didn't even notice that. Thanks. lol |

Gran Torino was a really, really good movie. Eastwood should get all the Oscars this year just for being a bad ass.

I've watched a few novices since Saturday, however the stand out was.... Alien v.s Hunter, a Sci-fi original billed as "action packed" but mostly consisted of the cast running around in a sewer from the spider alien. Wasn't a whole lot of CGI, and the gore was limited to repeating the same shots over and over again.
After splinter I was expecting another movie that at least tried. Splinter made that 1-2 million budget work, and pull off a decent movie. However I'm pretty sure that was a one time deal. Hydra was also lulzy.
