I just watched Rio. it's very fun.

J'Accuse (1919) is absolutely an outstanding silent film, I read that if this movie would had been released in 1913 that WWI may had never happened.

i've seen bits of it - looks pretty spooky

I was just captivated watching it, I find it hard having enough patience to watch the entirety of most silent films. But this one was an exception. I hope you find the movie Duce, Good Luck! It is well worth the effort.

kudos for weaving the Cuban Missile Crisis into all this and Wolverine's cameo - 5/10

i saw this movie last night, maybe it's cause i'm not a stickler for continuity and haven't read the comics, but i really enjoyed it. the way that the showed Professor X's and Magneto's partnership and interactions was great, plus how they showed Magneto's story was one of the best parts of it.

oh, and Kevin Bacon was the shit.

Also I might add, as for the famous "March of the Dead" sequence at film's end, Gance used real soldiers home on leave from the front -- most of whom were killed within the following weeks. Some titles are taken from real letters written by soldiers to their families.(This movie ranks as one, if not my favorite of all movies).

Watched Sanctum the James Cameron cave spelunking movie. I would have to say it was a disappointment. Some decent scenery, but it never really goes anywhere plot-wise.

Also watched The Battle of Los Angeles, I would rank it higher then Sanctum. Maybe a 3 out of 5 stars. I guess I always liked Aaron Eckhart and it was mildly entertaining.
