I've just watched the last one! :yahoo:

While I have only 3 remaining (# B X), I will most certainly fail with X as my only options are Matrix, Foxes, Pola X and Paris, Texas and I don't think I will be in the mood for either one.

BTW, just watched Kick-Ass and it gets a . See, I do like some genre movies.

 :laugh:

3 left..and 3 days to go.  So maybe.   :hysterical:

But I have at least finished my Bond marathon..like a year after everyone else, but I finished.  That should count for something.

P done - Passengers, 10 to go. No way will I make it but I will do my best to watch a couple more, although I'll have to do a little cheat for the next one Q.

If you remember, after seeing the Hit Girl trailer, I expected something like Shoot 'em up, but with a little girl as the lead. I then learned it's about a nerd who wants to be a superhero. Disappointing. I'm really not into those nerd comedies, like the Apatow factory, Big Bang Theory, Chuck, etc. But Vaughn makes it work and he finds exactly the right tone most of the time (I could do without the tit grabbing, though) - so, yes, I liked Kick-Ass himself. Btw, with glasses, Aaron Johnson looks like Gordon-Lewitt in Brick. And Kathy (don't know the actress' name) looks like a younger Lizzy Caplan.

Finished.

Last movie was Shaft for S. Although I had seen it twice before I expected more action ,somehow. "All I got" was a detective movie. Shaft is very much a product of it's time, so lots of dialog sounds strange today and Shaft's attitude towards the police lieutenant, who is out to help him, actually, seems too much badass. But, it still is a solid film. A strong .
