King of Kong looks kind of interesting, but I doubt I'll see it anytime soon.

12 - National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets - 7.5/10 - This movie didn't have quite the same feel or level of intensity that the first movie had, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit The movies weaves in and around history and was lots of fun.

13 - 28 Weeks Later - 6/10 - The US Army starts helping British citizens repopulate part of London after it appears that all of the infected are dead. The movie was okay, but I couldn't get nearly as interested in it as the first movie.

15 - 3:10 to Yuma (2007) - 9/10 - An excellent western. Christian Bale plays a rancher who has to help escort an outlaw (Russel Crowe) so that he can be put on a train to prison. I thought it let up just a bit at the end, but was otherwise superb.

16 - Knight Rider - 7.5/10 - I enjoyed the movie and the connections they made to the original series. I hope a regular show gets the green light.

I saw, of all the Oscar Nominees, Juno, which was totally excellent, and No Country for Old Men which kind of left me blah.
I also saw 3:10 to Yuma and I thought that it was excellent!

The only one I've seen was Juno and I thought it was good, but not Oscar worthy. I'll probably see the rest of the contenders later this year or next on dvd. Once I get through all of my tv on dvd sets, I plan to turn my attentions to watching all of the Best picture winners and nominees from the past 80 or whatever years. That'll be a lengthy project.

Just watched "Justice League: New Frontier" and it was amazing. I haven't read the books yet, in fact I just got volume one from my shop today. I would have bought them much earlier, but I didn't realize the DVD was coming out so soon. I definitely recommend it. Much more than the disaster known as Doomsday.

17 - Underdog - 6.5/10 - There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! This movie was kind of short, but I enjoyed it. It doesn't have a really convoluted plot, but I thought it was a fun 80 minutes. Definitely aimed at kids, but I was a kid when I watched the Underdog cartoons so that's fine.

18 - Once - 8.5/10 - A musical about a street musician in Dublin who meets a girl and they write, rehearse and record a number of songs all over the course of a week. Excellent music and performances.

19 - Good Luck Chuck - 6.5/10 - A curse is placed on a boy and any girl he sleep with after that will find their true love in the next person they date. I enjoyed the movie and enjoyed seeing Jessica Alba as Cam. The movie certainly won't win any awards, but it was entertaining.
