Battle LA: well, a third category version of Independence day. Unless it is really boring at home, I would not recommend it.

I m #4 is better but I would still not call it a going-to-be classic.

I have not seen the rest.

Saw 'Limitless' last weekend - very well done with a really nice twist at the end.

Haven't seen any of the others.

I just saw the adjustment bureau last night. It was ok. I thghout it ended a little too quickly - everything sort of tidies up nicely very quickly, a little too quickly for my taste. After going through an hour and 45 minutes of things not working out right, I need to more than 30 seconds of happiness at the end. But it was ok I suppose.

Limitless I really enjoyed it.

Battle: Los Angeles Hmm, boys flick, lotsa war action, shaky camera at points, hoohaa!. Not much character or story, but my boys loved it. cannot be compared with Independence day (one of my fav's) but a whole lot better than Skyline (crap)

Paul isn't as good as Hot Fuzz or Sean of the dead but it's still quite watchable and funny in places, best if your a geek so you can spot the homages - a bit much needless swearing though.

I just got back from Limitless and I enjoyed it.

I was very surprised however to see a family of 4 in there, the kids could not have been more than 5 years old.

Battle: Los Angles - Sucked... Big Disappointment.
Paul - was ok... missed a lot of opportunities for a better story.
Limitless - pretty awesome... not what the commercials portrayed.
Sucker Punch - CGI is going to be awesome... could be a winner.
The Adjustment Bureau - nothing like the commercials, didn't care for it.
I am Number Four - haven't seen it.
True Grit - awesome...

I'm looking forward to going to True Grit. The last movie I enjoyed was 'The King's Speech'

Well, I enjoyed it. It's no masterpiece but a great leg severing, head chopping, testudo forming adventure story with some great scenes and good cinematography.
