Precious, I´m going to disagree with you once again on The Ugly Truth wich, IMO qualifies with 6.5/10 due to a good script and a charming performance by Heigl. I found Heigl too brittle and the film somewhat sexist (surprisingly) but more watchable as it grinded on. Subdivison (2009) Sue Brooks 4/1...

Orphan 8/10 Wow! What a thriller! I was very disappointed with this one given some of the positive reviews. I really only saw the film because I've been impressed in the past with Vera Farmiga & Peter Sarsgaard. They are both fine actors but I found them struggling with this one. Jaume Collet-S...

Hustler wrote:Drag Me to Hell (Sam Raimi) 6/10 Funny movie! You can´t imagine how much did I laugh!

I agree. Very funny and gross at the same time. Great to see Raimi going back to his cinematic roots. The highlight for me was the goat spouting profanity. Priceless.

Down to Earth (1994) Pedro Costa 7/10 wow! This is a very hard to find portuguese/cape verde film.... are you trying to see every film ever released? :) Got this from DaaVeeDee. I have been wanting to see Pedro Costa's work for sometime now and Gone to Earth is my first. There is a box set availabl...
