Spiderman 3-- 4/10. I was not impressed. The special effects were good but the story was entirely dragged down by the romance story line and the stupid Peter Parker dance/overconfidence montages.
Peter Parker never had emo hair.... ARRRGH!!! 
I wish Venom had eaten him. I still think they should have given me my money back twice-over... since I should have been paid to see the movie, not the other way around.
Battle Royale---9/10. I loved this movie. It was absurd and bizarre. A bunch of class C kids from Japan are thrown on an island and forced to kill each other in three days... one winner to survive. The director was immensely creative and the relationships between characters were developed just enough to keep it interesting but not enough to drag it down. Yay!
Grindhouse---7/10. Meh. Great selection of what makes each director awesome. And the "trailers" were great. But it just kept going. Seemed like it was more to earn money than for the joy of filmmaking. Wouldn't watch it again, but not sorry I watched it the first time. Unlike freakin' Spidey.
28 Days Later-- 8/10. Saw it last night in prep for a matinee of the new one today. I must say, I was impressed. It scared the holy beejeezus out of me... more than the "zombie" films I'm frequently pressured into watching. I think it was more because it focused on base human /animal rage, rather than "Hey, we died and came back to life to eat you." Plus, I love it when characters lose it out of desperation. And that's not a spoiler, anyone saw that coming.
Hot Fuzz---9.5/10. I flipping LOVE these guys. Witty, flashy, absurd, fabulous. I can only hope they continue to make movies cause I don't know what I'd do without 'em. Yar, good movie. If you didn't like it, jog on, there's something wrong with your sense of humor.
I'm not even going to rate the Jan Svenkmajer shorts and
Faust because that man creeps me out. I liked
Little Otik to a point a few years ago but the man gives me the heeby-jeebies.

Completely with you. Even the Chaplain at work had a hard time explaining her thoughts after just a clip of the kids with the red tape and then crying on the floor. And the Adam and Eve dolls. It still give me the creeps.
