Watched Collateral for the first time last night and very much enjoyed it. A perfect role for Tom Cruise to play. Weird soundtrack.

I watched The Assassination of Jesse James... the other day. I don't know how I feel about it. The performances were really good. It's a bit of a mess otherwise.

First time
Finishing this now. I always liked Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, and this has a little of that same unique feeling. Surprised I’ve never seen it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Just started. Really been looking forward to seeing this again. Only saw it once, when it was fairly new.

Still loved Gran Torino. One of the best movies in the 2000-09 decade.

I thought it was good overall, but some of the acting is subpar.

I can see why you would say that, but I thought the two youth Clint bonded with, did a great job. Their family members, did just fine in background roles.

Clint was at his very best.

Some of the gang members, and the police, did feel a bit like actors playing a part.
