What film did you watch last night?

Woah there!Didn't mean to step on your mancrush!
I didn't say he was a bad actor or that losing weight affected his acting. Just saying he lost weight for this ala Rescue Dawn or The Machinist. He's not my favorite actor in the World hence the 'not bad'. Perhaps my over use of the ellipsis made this look like something it was not
Sorry, I was drunk
The perfect score
High school senior Kyle (Chris Evans) gets a major shock when he discovers his SAT score isn't good enough to get him into college as an architecture major. A perfectionist, Kyle's resilient nature is sparked when he embroils his best friend Matty (Bryan Greenberg) in a madcap scheme to steal the SATs. The boys soon realize the enormity of the task ahead of them, and recruit an eclectic bunch of willing accomplices to help. Among their group are Francesca (Scarlett Johansson), an anti-authoritarian hipster whose father happens to work in the building where the elusive test scores are kept; Anna (Erica Christensen), an overachiever who flunked the test due to nerves; Desmond (Darius Miles), the school's star basketball player who wants to get into a good college; and Ray (Leonardo Nam), a hapless stoner who is only included in the group after overhearing Kyle and Matty planning the robbery in the school bathroom. Determined not to fail, the students overcome their different backgrounds and manage to work together by planning an SAT heist in meticulous detail. As the harebrained scheme becomes a reality, moments of bonding, hilarity, and a few lessons in life ensue, as well as a sly critique of the tests along race and gender lines.
5/10
Usuall teen flick, however can add a gazillion marks on for one hot sexy rebel Scarlett Johansson.

Black Hawk Down
On October 3, 1993, Army Rangers and members of the elite Delta Force participated in a covert operation in Mogadishu, Somalia that went horribly wrong. Sent to abduct two lieutenants of a vicious Somali warlord, the soldiers found themselves surrounded by hostile militia. Two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down and many men lost their lives. Mark Bowden of the Philadelphia Inquirer told the story of the battle in his exhaustively researched, critically acclaimed book, BLACK HAWK DOWN, and filmmaker Ridley Scott (GLADIATOR) and screenwriter Ken Nolan have done an amazing job of bringing the dramatic story to the screen. Like Bowden's book, the film does not thoroughly examine the context of the conflict, but gives a detailed and intense blow-by-blow account of the fighting. The outstanding ensemble cast includes Josh Hartnett as a competent but nervous Ranger sergeant leading his first mission, Ewan McGregor as a "desk jockey" who excels when sent into combat, Eric Bana (THE INCREDIBLE HULK) as a cocky and enigmatic Delta, and Ron Eldard as a downed Black Hawk pilot. The violence of the film is brutal and nearly constant. Scott unflinchingly captures the chaos and mayhem of battle with tremendous visual finesse.

Brilliant war film, it's got a bit of everything in it.

Again.
"I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel."
"You did it! Congratulations! World's best cup of coffee! Great job, everybody!"
"Santa! I know him!"
"You're not the real Santa... you smell of beef and cheese!"
"Paul, don't tell him what you want. He's a LIAR!"
Love it!
9.5/10 (don't know if I could ever give ANY film 10/10)

Why not?
Because what if I see a film in future that's even better?!
10/10 leaves me nowhere to go!
EDIT: Just realised that quite a while back I gave Belleville Rendezvous 10/10 - it is one of my favourites but don't know what I was thinking... must have been drunk at the time.

Conan the Barbarian (new one) 6/10
Hmm it started out OK.. then in the second half i found myself drifting off not paying attention.
Im glad i didn't watch it at the cinema it would have been a "hurry up and end!" numb bum kind of film. Decent enough but meh overall.
