Shoot 'Em Up

Crazy madcap violence. Everything that is both awesome and stupid packed into a movie less than an hour and a half long. Plus a few original concepts. Death by carrot? Coitus Interuptus gun battle? Both new ones. I mean gun fight during baby delivery. Yep. Seen that. Gun fight while falling from plane. Yes. Continuing to have sex while gunning down thugs? That was an original...

Stardust

The end is a little deus ex, but is supposed to have a fairy tale feel to it so thats ok. And I do understand why the understated low-key final act from the book wouldn't have worked as well in a movie. Not that the more cliche ending in the movie is BAD, its not. And I did like the extended sequence on the boat with DeNiro. Quite a lovely movie...

Not my fault

I would just like to point out that I've never met, interacted with or even sent an email to Steve Troop. Just because EVERY time I decide to start reading Melonpool it stops updating? Thats a coincidence. It means nothing! NOTHING!
