Just saw "Milk" upon Acebot's recommendation.

It was definitely good (minus the depressing ending).

Seven Pounds... decent, but predictable

Raging Bull, it just didn't work for me.

Zack and Miri, pretty funny stuff.

Started watching Dark Knight on my friend's Blu-Ray and nice TV. His brand new copy skipped like 10 times so he turned it off in disgust. Bummer.

The Mist (based on a Stephen King story). Hm... I'll give it a 6. Maybe 7.
A decent monster movie, but some stuff was annoying (a religious woman who keeps shouting that it's Gods judgement day).

I found the best part of the movie was the people stuck inside and looking for someone to blame. They really should not have shown the monsters. They should have just kept them hidden in the mist

That's the problem with a lot of monster movies. That most monsters just can't be as scary as the ones you imagine.

It's like when you grow up and watch older horror movies and realize the bad special effects and cheesy costumes.

So true. It's like they couldn't decide if the wanted a comedy or a drama and it just fell on it's face.

And the writing is just awful.

Dear god. And I watched it with a couple of my friends who are going to film school so they were pointing out all the other things they did badly

I thought the monsters were actually pretty good. A lot of different ones. It's a shame we never saw the first one again.

My brother and me recognized the typical King parts, where you have some characters speculating what's going on. It was even worse in The Langoliers, where the writer was just guessing and got it right.

Also, I wondered if this was just a random story that King came up with when he was sitting on the toilet.
"Hm..... mist! Hm.... monsters from another dimension.... A crazy religious woman... a crazy ending. Should be another bestseller!"
