Not yet. I'm creating a new backlog of movies. It doesn't feel right otherwise.

Continuing from my recent uncovering of my Jackie Chan stash, watched Police Story.
Gotta love those whacked chase parts where it's a given that a dangerous shortcut will be used.

How was that conflicting? I think you are 29.
You'd only be 7 yrs older than me; but a lot of the other regulars, you are 8-10 older than.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Not bad at all! Wish Abe would've shown his boxing skills as well, but oh well, I guess slashing vampires with a silver edged ax wasn't bad either lol. Now then, can we get a Teddy Roosevelt: Slayer of the Zombie Cannibals of the Panama Canal movie? Get to it Hollywood!

I watched Sherlock Holmes, A Game of Shadows last week, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and John Carter this week.
Holmes was a worthy sequel to the original, only slightly marred, in my opinion, by a couple of "cutsie" moments. The big "reveal" at the end was epically unexpected, and the little "reveal" was good as well, although set up near the beginning of the film. The actor playing Professor Moriarty, Jared Harris, was excellent.
Girl was an excellent adaption of the novel, and Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist and Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander were nearly perfectly cast, especially Mara. Although 158 minutes long, the time passes quickly as you become involved in the investigation of a 40 year old murder, that turns into the investigation of a series of murders, starting decades before the first.
One more thing. As the opening credits roll, the images behind them are some of the most creepy and disturbing I've ever seen. Although nothing to do with the film, they are a good set up for what's to come.John Carter wasn't as bad as I'd heard, but, it wasn't as good as it could have been. Considering that the original author, Edgar Rice Burroughs, created one of the most well known and enduring characters in fiction, Tarzan of the Apes, it's a shame they couldn't have made the effort and gotten a better script. Worth seeing if you want to see a version of one of Burroughs Mars books, but it's not a definitive version.
(By the way, how many of you know that there's a fourth Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Book?)

The Girl With the Dragon TattooI watched the Swedish version before the English one came out, and left it at that.

I have all three, but I haven't had a chance to see them yet, so I can't compare the Swedish Girl With the Dragon Tattoo with the US one.

Right now I am watching "The Woman in Black", so technically, even though I am not through with it, I am watching a non-anime title.

Brilliant opening sequence.
One of the things I thought when I saw this originally was how it foreshadows the next two movies/books in the series:
The Girl Who Played With Fire and
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.Posted 11 months ago # -
I haven't read the books or seen the Swedish films, but I pieced that together.

I read the first two, and started the third, but I misplaced it, and haven't found it since (dammit!).

Watched National Theatre Live's Frankenstein yesterday.
Bloody brilliant that was! It makes me really, really excited for Elementary in the fall, having now seen JLM's acting spectrum within that one film/play.

REC. Don't know why people say it's really scary, i was laughing most of the time cause i thought it was pretty funny. That last part with the nightvision was awesome though.
