13 Assassins

Nothing unexpected here, but it was engaging most of the time, and you can definitely tell it's Miike.

Super

This movie was weird. Liv Tyler was super pretty. Ellen's character was completely unlikable, and Rainn's wasn't terribly far behind. It was interesting to see it play out, though.

Fast Five

I have a lot of love for this series, and I wanted to like this more than I did. It felt like they only had about half a movie going here. I enjoyed everybody getting together, and Rio was a fun place to see, but about 70% of it was flat.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

This movie was kind of frustrating. I didn't like all the tension of Hogwarts becoming a bad place, and I didn't like that Mrs. Figg was hurting people.

True Grit

I didn't have high expectations for this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I do love Westerns, or at least modern ones. The dialogue was good, and there was at least one surprise in the plot. There were about five too many instances of deus ex, however, and I was disappointed with the way it ended.
