The Fighter - fucking fantastic.

Coyote Ugly. Never wanted to see it when it came out, then I did and it's my favorite movie

The Fighter.
Didn't think I'd be into it at all, but damn.

Rabbit Hole.
I don't like Nicole Kidman. I thought that she would ruin the whole thing for me, but wow.

Le Dernier Vol.
I'd heard that it was boring but I wanted to watch it anyways because Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet are in it and I'm in love with both of them. I loved it so much, though. It didn't bore me for one second and it was just fantastic.

27 Dresses

Hatchet.
It was way funnier than I thought it'd be.

Eclipse. Even though I'm not much of a fan of the Twilight series anymore, the movie was better done than the other two, for sure.

28 Days Later.
It wasn't just ~ I'm a zombie kill kill eat mmmm flesh ~ it actually had a pretty cool plot.

Same here.

(...just have to put this in here: CILLIAN MURPHY'S CHEEKBONES. )

^ He's beautiful

Edge of Darkness, saw it a while ago and was impressed by Mel Gibson's performance.

No Strings Attached.
The storyline was the same old same old, no big surprise, but it was just so much funnier than I was expecting. I was dying laughing at some parts.

Nowhere Boy

I thought they would ruin the way John Lennon's life should be protrayed, but they blew me away.
Aaron Johnson did a great job play John.
That movie made me cry the moment it started.

Synyster Lisa:

Coyote Ugly. Never wanted to see it when it came out, then I did and it's my favorite movie

I love that film so much! I'm a massive Adam Garcia fan though.

Black Swan.
I went in thinking it would be utter crap, because everyone else had said it was be amazing. And every film someone has told me is amazing, I've not liked.
But it was incredible. And beautiful. And just all-round stunning.
And I really need to stop gushing about it. >.<

The Rite
Tron: Legacy
Tangled
House on Haunted Hill (1959)

The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
OH MY GOD HOW COULD I THINK IT WOULD SUCK?!
It's amazing, I love it.

Inglorious Basterds

And I hate Tarantino, as a rule.

^same here (although I can't say I hate Tarantino because it's the only movie I've seen so far that he's made). I was expecting it to be pretty okay, but god, I adored it. The whole cast was just fantastic, especially Christoph Waltz and Eli Roth (whom I've loved for awhile).

Inception. My expectations were kind of high, but I kind of thought it wouldn't be as good as everybody said it was, but I was very pleasently surprised at just how good it was. It's one of my favorites now.

Also, Easy A. I thought it was going to be kind of stupid because of the trailer, but I randomly decided to watch it a few nights ago and I loved it. I was cracking up through pretty much the whole thing. I know some critics don't like it because it's "super liberal," but honestly, I really don't care. I had a fun time watching it.

My Own Private Idaho. I don't like Gus Van Sant, but this movie was just great. Stand By Me used to be my favorite River Phoenix movie, but nope. Not anymore. What surprised me the most, though, was that Keanu Reeves was actually really good in this movie. I kind of loved him.

Mean Girls. I was peer pressured into watching it, and I finally got around to it.
Now I understand why everyone quotes it.

The King's Speech. The King's Speech. THE KING'S SPEECH.



It was so good.
