Simple premise, you see 2 movies you say what they were and a little about them. Don't need to do it everytime, just when you feel like contributing.
Chinatown - Young Jack Nicholson needs to be in every movie. I had just seen Reds a bit before this, the guy is flat out awesome. It's a shame he's becoming a charicature of himself, but his past work is classic.
Serpico - Surprisingly a biopic that doesn't suck, pander to convention, and actually has a story. Before Pacino became the "Hoooahhh!!!" guy. Another actor that needs to start trying again.
What are the last two movies you watched?

Lemme see, No Country for Old Men, and...No Country For Old Men
Watch it the first time for the strong cinematic work that it is, and the second time for the phenomenal script and dialog it contains. In particular, the final scenes with Tommy Lee Jones are by themselves worth a repeat viewing just to fully understand their meaning.

sin city and kill bill vol 1&2
I LOVE Sin City i think it has replaced Pulp Fiction as my favourite film of all time, amazing sound incredible looks and moving stories with a great cast, and jessica alba! I<3 it. I had never seen the first 20 min of kill bill 1 and none of vol 2 and i have to say 1 was better but 2 had a great story, i cant wait to finally see deathproof i hope its worth it.
sincity 2 and 3 in 2009 supposedly so WOOP

National Treasure 2: The legend of curly's gold, or something. Treasure hunting, fun for the family at the holidays I guess but not worth your time for the most part.
I Am Legend: Will Smith is an army scientist and the last man on earth, trying to discover a cure for zombie cancer. It ramps up quickly and the action is fun, however since Will Smith acts the same way in every movie he does they shouldnt try to put him in a role as a scientist. Not a thinker, but if you've got the time it's a fun watch.

Juno - One of the greatest movies I've seen in a long time. This movie has something for all ages and is one of the true comedies of 2007, like Superbad.
Shoot 'Em Up - Action action action. I wrote a quick review here. Basically, the plot line was thrown in for kicks, this movie is a two hour long, badass, logic-defying, intense, fast-paced, clever, and insane gunfight.

Meet the Robinsons - An animated movie that was hilarious. I really enjoyed the humor and the ending was really nice. Sort of touching.

I am Legend - Great film for guys, really recommend it, cinematography at its finest, very good acting, and reasonable plot, with great tension all the way through. Poor Mr Smith, he saved the world rom aliens in Independence Day and now this.
Kung Pow - erm, yeah. Odd movie. Very very silly humour. It's one of my favourite comedies, but if you don't like slapstick comedy or OTT silly comedies then avoid like the plague.

Yeah just to clarify, the idea is that you give a brief reaction to the movie you just watched. Unless it's an obscure one, I doubt we really need the blurb from the back of the cover.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York - Pretty fun. Proof your kids can look after themselves.
and
Pirates of the Carribean 3: At Worlds End - Amazing movie. I laughed all the way through at the jokes, and loved the action, as well as the frankly superb characters and casting. Captain Jack Sparrow = best character ever created.

Resident Evil: Extinction- Wasn't horrible and I'll likely pick it up when it drops in price a bit. Although it did raise two important questions for me:
1) Why is it, in ever zombie movie the guy that gets bit doesn't tell anyone? I mean, honestly?
2) Since in all post-apocaliptic (spelled incorrectly, but I'm too tired to keep trying to figure it out tonight) movies when someone dies they bury them with a cross made of two pieces of wood lashed together....what would they do if somebody died who was Jewish?
The Simpson's Movie- The gf loved it, I was rather under-whelmed with the whole thing. Some funny moments, but they were too far in-between for me to really love it. That and the whole thing had such a "we know you've already spent the money so we're going to mock you the entire time and give you a sub-par movie at the same time" feel to it.

The Princess Bride (1987) - Watches this yesterday for the first time, and wow, extremely cuteish, fun and quatable fantasy movie. It was basically INCONCIEVABLE! 
Death Sentence - Odd drama-action mix, that was actually quite good, but a bit too simple. It's basically about Kevin Bacon on revenge for his sons death.

The last legion
Found it to be a very interesting mix between King Arthur and Lord of the Rings. Especially when Merlin/Gandalf leads Ceasar/Frodo and the gang though the mountains.
This movie is so standard it blew my mind. Men takes:
1 Strong guy
1 Flashy guy
1 Female
1 Leader
1 Expendable guy
1 Wise guy
Et voila, the perfect and o so overused party.
Then offcourse, the strange yet mysterious villain. Oh my, HE WEARS A MASK!
Yeah.
What the bleep do we know.
I didn't know Disney made movies about quantum physics.
That's all I'm going to say.
