    Cowboys & Aliens.

    Good freakin' movie. Of course, what else would you expect from a collaboration from people like Jon Favreau, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde! Jeez! Just reading the names gave me a nerdgasm!

    Orci and Kurtzman have made a truck load of really great scripts over the years, what the hell happened with ROTF?????

    ROTF script is not bad at all.

    Triangle (Christopher Smith, 2009)

    Really interesting fantastic thriller, pretty smart, with a great ending.

    Impressive performance by Melissa George.

    I don't buy that because Star Trek came out the same year ROTF did, and was a superior film as well!

    Doesn't matter if both movies came out in the same year.* They only few weeks to write ROTF's script. (Compared to DOTM's eight months.) In fact, it wasn't even complete when they started filming.








    *Star Trek was originally set to open Christmas 2008, so the script was probably complete before the strike hit.

    So, then how come the same writers opted to not do the third Transformers? I'm not buying this whole writer's strike, not one bit. Sorry. I just don't think they gave a rat's ass about Transformers.

    Last movies I saw. Street Kings and Let Me In. SK was alright, LMI was just awful.

    They said they didn't wanna risk getting stale.

    And they do give a rat's ass about Transformers. Otherwise they wouldn't be the executive produces of Transformers: Prime.

    13 Assassins: 10/10. Easily the best movie I've seen this year so far.

    Do you think LMI was inferior to the 2008 swedish vampire masterpiece "Let The Right One In"?

    Cowboys and Aliens: Suprisingly original and well made, great cast and direction.
    A Serbian Tale: OH MY GOD, everything i heard about this controversial movie was true? as horrifying as Men Behind The Sun, Salo, Caligula or whatever sick flick there is.

    I'm going to come out and say it. I liked ROTF and I <3 d the Island.

    The last movie I saw was Cars 2. I didn't feel like paying real money for Cowboys & Aliens. That one and Super 8 scream "Netflix Streaming" to me and I love Jon Favreau. My favorite film so far is Harry Potter 7.5.

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

    Despite having a mouthful of a title, the movie did a fantastic job setting up the events of the original film. Lots of homages to the original, too.

    Rise of the Planet of the Apes. My favorite movie of the year, and this is coming from someone who really didn't care for the originals or Tim Burton's shot at the franchise!

    Best part. No! and Caesar Calvary Charge!

    Oh, and I really like the orangutan. I don't know what it is, there's just something so darn cool about him.

    Takashi Miike's Audition. One of the most fucked up movies I've seen.

    I must have seen at least 15 Takashi Miike's movies, I can assure you Audition is one of the most normal and less fucked up ones!

    About Cowboys & Aliens , I really wanted to see it (since I love all movies involving aliens), but unfortunately they've delayed it in Italy, October nevertheless

    Oh, the audience was so pumped at that part, first, you had Malfoy ( I know, it's not Malfoy, but poor Tom Felton is going to be stuck with that character for sometime) uttering the classic line, and then the unexpected happened. Everyone was like "whoa!"

    And circus monkey was adorable. I guess he's going to be Caesar's right hand man! I also liked the part where Caesar first encounters a dog.
