The Dilbert Principle - Humour
Genre: Humour | Author: Scott Adams | Pages: 336 | Language: English | Comment: Funny. Enjoyed reading. The main point is: "companies tend to systematically promote their least-competent employees to management (generally middle management), in order to limit the amount of damage they are capable of doing." :)

Good. Robert De Niro & Edward Norton :) Seen it a long time ago & remembered some random bits, but still good.
May 23rd, 2010 DOA: Dead or Alive - Action
Amazingly filmed, but sadly this is in direct inverse proportion to the crap it is. No Plot, no interest, no nothing.
May 18th, 2010 Lesbian Vampire Killers - Comedy, Horror
Great, second time around :).
May 18th, 2010 Robin Hood - Action
The new one, with Russell Crowe. Not bad. Enjoyable.
May 13th, 2010 Not Since You - Romance, Drama
Hmmm, I thought it was a romantic comedy, but seems like my friend's girlfriend picked a romantic drama. Oh well, not too bad.
May 12th, 2010 Lensman - Secret Of The Lens - Animated, Sci-Fi
Nice. Very 80's.
May 2nd, 2010 The Day the Earth Stood Stil - Sci-Fi, Drama
Considering it's a 59 year old movie ... not too bad :). So many different things back then, and not only the obvious black and white obvious things.
April 28th, 2010 Comedy Central: Last laugh '05 - Stand-Up
Meh. Pass
April 27th, 2010
April 28th, 2010
Desperado - Action
Great film. Still enjoying him even though it's 15 years old :).

Like the animals one better, but still funny
April 15th, 2010 Ricky Gervais Live: Animals - Stand-Up
Funny :)
April 15th, 2010 High Plains Drifter - Western
Hmmm ... Old movie (older than me). Watched it as a kid. I still remember some scenes, but again, rediscovered many new layers (as the fake gun handle he used, and some other interactions between the characters).
April 14th, 2010 Louis C.K.: Shameless - Stand-Up
Funny. As the name suggests, dirty language and jokes aplenty :)
April 12th, 2010 Road House - Action
He he,seen this when I was a teenager. Seems there must be some things I've missed or didn't understand back then. Liked it :)
April 11th, 2010 Nirvana - Sci-Fi
Mkay. Highly talked about, but I wasn't too impressed. Maybe the fact that it's in Italian, and I had to keep manually adjusting the subtitles time had something to do?.
April 11th, 2010 Vals Im Bashir (ואלס עם באשיר) - War, Drama, Animation
Good.
April 10th, 2010 Manhunter - Crime, Thriller
Hmmm ... The movie "Red Dragon" is basically a remake of this one. This one's ok. Can't remember much of "Red Dragon".
April 10th, 2010 Ninja - Action
It might have had some story in between plot holes. Action was ok'ish. The highlight was the main character training without his shirt. This is how sad this movie is.
April 10th, 2010 The Weather Man - Drama
Mkay. Not too thrilled.
April 9th, 2010 The X Files: I Want to Believe - Sci-Fi, Mystery
Eh.

Cute.
March 31st, 2010 Coraline - Animated
Errr .... highly disturbing, and I wouldn't recommend it to kids?.
March 31st, 2010 Dog Day Afternoon - Crime, Drama, Thriller
1975. Based on true story. Not much to say. The FBI agent that drives the car @ the end is familiar, yet not sure from where. updated Yep, he is Bishop from aliens. He plays in the 2nd and 3rd, not the first :).
March 30th, 2010 Carl Barron - Whatever comes next... - Stand-Up
Mkay. OZ comedian. Some things were funny, most was meh.
March 30th, 2010 The Blob - Sci-Fi, Horror
1958 movie. You can tell. Wouldn't work these days :). Amusing to see their solution to special effects before computers kicked in.
March 29th, 2010 Blade Runner - Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller
Good. Very different in pace than modern movies.

that's what it is to be a slave.

Great. Didn't expect much from it, and yet laughed more than I've laughed in a long time. Recommended :)
March 23rd, 2010 Sometimen in April - War, Drama
Depressing. Similar to Hotel Rwanda, and another one about that war.
March 16th, 2010 The Way of War - Thriller, Action
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD. I can probably do a better movie by myself, doing the screen write, the acting, the special effects AND the publicity. Hmmm ... they had 2 songs that were okay though.
March 16th, 2010 Green Zone - War, Action, Thriller
Eh. Better yet: Eh at most.

Mel Gibson. Meh movie. Some nice bits, some boring bits. Not as good as I expected
February 13th, 2010 Farinelly - Drama, Biography, Music
Good. Sad. Disturbing at bits.
February 12th, 2010 Rambo: First Blood Part II - Action
Couldn't be bothered with a serious movie, so watched this. I think I prefer first blood. This is more about action and shooting (badly :).
February 12th, 2010 Invisible Target - Action, Crime
Nice action. Fun to watch
February 10th, 2010 Dead Poets Society - Drama
Good. Sad. Not sure the best movie for the mood I'm in though :).

January 29th, 2010 ¡Three Amigos! - Comedy
Great movie & a classic. Only downside was the sms I got 15 minutes before it finished.
January 29th, 2010 The Final Destination - Horror, Thriller
Crap. As simple as that. Actually, I liked the animation of the last 10 seconds when the credits begin.
January 28th, 2010 Public Enemies - Crime, Thriller, History
Eh. Don't get the big fuss, and it's way too long.
January 20th, 2010 Adam - Drama
Cute.
January 20th, 2010 A perfect getaway - Horror, Thriller, Mystery
Nice cast, fine movie.
January 20th, 2010 Thick as thieves - Crime
Even though it has an impressive cast, the movie is rather shit.
January 11th, 2010 Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball - Action, Crime
Some characters from the first movie. Some effort was put into the movie, but it still feels like a high budget bad movie.
If you have nothing to do, or trying to kill hours to forget the pain, might work.
January 8th, 2010 Up - Animation
G R E A T. Highly enjoyable.
January 7th, 2010 Videodrome - Sci-Fi, Horror, Thriller
Bad. Heard it's great, and got highly disappointed.

Love it.

May 3rd, 2010 Como Abeja al Panal - Bachata
He he ... great bachata. Had it for years and only realized it after I've seen one of the choreos at the Bachata Festival.
March 29th, 2010 Decisiones - Ruben Blades - Salsa
Feels right at the moment. Even though it's salsa, you should listen to the words (if you speak spanish I guess).
