Just watched First Class. If only I was metal, Fassbender could warp me to his will.
McAvoy and Fassbender were as excellent as people made out. The best in the X-Men franchise thus far, imo.

I haven't seen this mentioned on here:
It looks excellent, imo. I can't make out exactly what Damon's role is, but it doesn't seem to be the clichéd normal-guy-saves-world storyline. Also, if I remember correctly, it's meant to be Soderbergh's last film. -

I'm not a fan either. I did enjoy the Underworld films, but as more of a guilty pleasure if anything. I don't think he's particularly suited for the remake. Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg are the only ones that have produced outstanding and great (respectively) Philip K **** adaptations. Shame really, if the preview impressions are anything to go by. Nolan doing a Philip K **** adaptation would be pretty marvellous. Even Inception had those '****' story vibes to them. I guess a lot of science fiction films do though. -

In retrospect, my feelings towards Horrible Bosses have considerably dampened.

When I first saw the posters/cast/ratings, I thought it would be a brainless comedy with Kevin Spacey being just about the only good thing in it, so I was surprised when you said it was an excellent film. What changed? Would you still say it's worth watching?
I think my biggest issue with it though is that there's not a single character in the film, and that really bugs me. You can criticise Apatow's style of comedy for not having any real "jokes", but the thing he does brilliantly is to actually have characters that feel real and accountable, and are ultimately infinitely more interesting because of it. Funny People worked because Adam Sandler's character really did feel kind of pathetic and small, and that was intriguing. In this nobody gives a damn about anyone - three guys are talking about killing people, and there is none of the resonance that there should really be because it feels utterly detached from emotion. And that is fine for a while, but it doesn't really make it memorable.
Like I said I still found it funny and I'd still recommend seeing it (Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx are worth the price of admission alone), but by Christmas I doubt I'll remember it. -

Saw HP7 part 2 today, was quite surprised at how good it was.
It managed to create a great sense of awe for the final part, though some of the emotional scenes could've been a bit better. -
