Inglorious Basterds(the newer one): This was okay, but like a lot of Tarentino films...it's better in parts and for qoutable moments than for an overall narrative. It sort of fell apart in the last third where they just decided "the hell with it..we'll just do whatever the hell we want". I figured it'd at least try to be historical. Also, while the guy playing the Nazi was decent, I'm not sure the role was worthy of an Oscar(especially near the end).

Army of Shadows. A film about the French Resistance. Has a slow burn and not a lot happens. But it is absorbing. Various of the actors you would recognise like Cassel who was the French pilot in Those Magnificent Men in thier Flying Machines and the male teacher from the classic French film Les Diaboliques.

The film is in colour but is not overly bright.

Tin Man, the SciFi production via Netflix streaming. Good production, interesting story and I can't stop falling in love with Zooey Deschanel. It also had Alan Cumming in a very different role than his current one of Eli Gold on The Good Wife. I'm pretty impressed with his acting skills.

I finally watched 300. Neither as good or as bad as I'd been lead to believe, though given that I've read some histories of Ancient Greece all the "Spartans fighting for FREEEDOOOM" got a bit hard to swallow. What, they don't think audiences would see people as heroic if they're "merely" fighting to defend their homes and families from an attacker?

Battle: Los Angeles. About what I expected...good FX...very predicitible plot....not awful, but when you're a weaker clone of the already weak Independence Day, you shouldn't be singing your own praises too much. Also..felt like a live action video game shooter. I give it a C+

I really enjoyed the first two installments, but the third really let me down.
