Monday:
We Stand Alone Together: The Men of Easy Company (Terrific doc. on well, the men of Easy Company. I defy anyone to watch without getting choked up at least once.)
Tuesday:
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (I thought it was hilarious. Pure Kevin Smith genius.)
Wednesday: (My Birthday )
X-Men (Recorded from MaxHD. Needs a remaster. Fast.) (Still not a big fan of it, but respect it for giving us a shit-load of movies I am a fan of..)
Dirty Sanchez (Unrated) (Fake or not, some of it's pretty disgusting)
Thursday:
Wanted (I loved it, but then again, I liked "Shoot 'Em Up" also. I didn't go in expecting Bourne-esque realism. I went in expecting to escape reality for 2 hours. Mission accomplished..)
Friday:
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (Recorded from Starz4HD) (Looked alot better than I expected. This needs a Blu-ray release, pronto!)
Friday Night Smackdown! (Terrible cage Main Event. Jeff Hardy needs to stop with the paint. It looks funny. Not the look I think he's going for.)
Saturday:
Wall-E (Not quite a masterpiece. "The Incredibles" is, and this is not quite up to that level. I might have to watch it a couple more times, though..)
TNA Impact!
P.S. I Love You (This was the GF's choice. Just awful. It needed anybody other than Hilary Swank in the lead role..)

I liked it alot. While the attacks were brutal, I thought Fuller was thankfully restrained from showing too much gore, he kept the story simple yet tense. Great to see Dick Miller and Paul Bartel in lesser roles (I didn't realize that 'Piranha' had a visual in joke back to White Dog). Loved the jab to 'Star Wars'
Noir - what did you think of 'Man on Wire' - I thought it was one of the best docs of this year.

I must have missed this - what was it?
Unfortunately the pre-release screener I found had no sound (!), so I still haven't seen it. Added it to my Netflix queue though.
konekonir, are those numbers after the films ratings out of 100?

when Burl Ives character bemoans the fact that Hollywood is creating characters, robots and the use of special effects, he throws a dart at a large R2D2 cut out on the wall of his office.
