Law Abiding Citizen was ok. Good for a couple of hours.
Training Day is awesome though is old.

I want to see Shutter Island.

I haven't seen Gamer or Ghost Writer - sorry

Did watch the remake of Bad Lutenant (spelling?) last night with Nicolas Cage - wasn't bad but the original was more convincing....

I watched "Zombieland" last night and found it thoroughly entertaining. Zombie movies never used to be my bag, but I watched a couple recently that were fairly well done ("28 days later" and "28 weeks later") and that kind of tempered my prejudice against that particular genre. There's no deep philosophical message here, no soul wrenching moral dilemma, just basic entertainment. It's got it's gory bits, but they seem to be done to support the movies overall tongue-in-cheek outlook, and it's got some good laughs. For me it was a couple of hours well spent.

Zombieland was great! When I first saw the trailers, I thought it was going to be either an ok movie, or really suck. I was surprised how well it turned out!

Reminded me a bit of Shaun of the Dead. A must-see if you liked Zombieland.

I enjoyed Old Dogs, it is a typical Disney movie but Travolta and Williams play well off of each other. There are a few very funny parts.
