The Road was awesome. Apparently the book is good too (haven't read yet).

Cormac McCarthy is the author, who also wrote No Country for Old Men.

Great movie and we are 'gore':?: Fans?:???:
------------------

The Book of Eli was decent with very heavy religious tones and quite a number of plot holes. Visuals are great though.

^Its not a rant, plz.
The ending had such grand scope and depth if only the events leading to the end would have matched the ending.

You are right, we here at TDF like off-beat movies more than those shouted aloud :D

Aftershock - Chinese. Watched a good movie after long time. Based on how an earthquake in Tangshan shatters the members of a family. Quite lengthy but quite touching. The look (not the script) of the movie reminded me of The Classic.

A-Team - Was entertaining but its rather a b-grade action movie. Best part was when the guy imitates Mel Gibson's Braveheart speech in Irish. Hilarious.

Watched Robin Hood...It is an average movie, nothing much to watch but if you like movies plotted around medieval times then it could be given a try.

6/10


Then there was Toy Story 3. Ohh man. I though that it would suck like most of the sequels but what a movie, great story. I think that they put helluva emotions in animated movies. I mean Up, How to Train Your Dragon, A Night Before Christmas they all touch hearts....

8/10 from me. :)

Joe Queenan's Guide to Movie Cliches: Action
Snippets from the actual post,
The classic action film features a small group of world-weary assassins or Green Berets or Navy Seals or mercenaries who assemble to pull off one last suicidal mission, after which they will retire. It helps if they are slightly over the hill. At least two of the men don't want to go on the assignment. Towards the end of the film, one of the men who stayed behind will materialise out of thin air to bail out his buddies. This man will most assuredly die. At some point in the film, the leader of the unit will tell his men: "This is my fight. You guys have no skin in this game. You're free to go." But the men will not go. Never, ever, ever.

and some more,

A good action film will usually include some impromptu emergency surgery, a fall from a great height, a reasonable amount of torture and a lot of rappelling. Men in action films rappel down high-rises, mountains and into the holds of ships. An action film without rappelling is like a horror movie without disembowelment: when in doubt, rappel! The principals should have lots of scars, and each scar should come with a story. A psycho with an eye patch is good, especially if he's a one-eyed giant with a machete.

Another one,
Joe Queenan's guide to crime cliches
The crime genre must also be looked at from the perspective of the cops. For a crime film to work, there must be a wizened, cynical cop who is close to retirement and has seen it all. There must be a young cop who just got married, and who will almost certainly die. There must be a full-dress funeral service, preferably in the rain. There must be a black cop who always serves as the peacemaker in the locker room. There must be a black female judge. There must be a hard-drinking female cop who is raising a child named Tommy all by herself. This child is invariably a weenie who will never grow up to be a cop. There must be a whore with a heart of gold and an ambitious district attorney who releases a bestial serial killer on a ridiculous technicality, and the whole police force wonders: "Why even bother?" There must be a nasty chap from Internal Affairs who is convinced the hero is dirty. There must be a dour bartender who signals: "In the back" with his head but otherwise does not speak. There must be a woman who begs her husband to give up undercover work because it's dangerous and he's missing birthday parties and he's starting to resemble the people he's supposed to be bringing to justice. There must be a scene where a bunch of bland men in suits enter police headquarters, flash their cheesy little badges and say, "FBI. We'll take over from here."
