Who hates "the North Koreans?" Hate the leaders that enslave them and brainwash them.
"John Connor"'s post reminds me of something I read around Iraq II, some teenager on a forum going on about how the Americans are going to show those awful Iraqis.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011) - I watched the series, then read the book, then watched this film. This film has a bit of quality and style, but a standard movie length just isn't enough to flesh out the plot properly IMO. I enjoyed it, as far as it went.
The Ugly Truth (2009) - I was looking for something that my wife might enjoy and I might be able to tolerate. This film is very tongue-in-cheek, quite amusing but I thought "Crazy, Stupid, Love" was a lot better.
Castle in the Sky (1986) - Since watching Spirited Away I've kept an eye out for Studio Ghibli stuff. SA is still the best in my book. This film is a lot more childish. It's for kids really. It was OK to watch but I certainly wouldn't get it on DVD.
Wonder Woman (2009) - animation. If you go after stuff like Batman: The Animated Series, you might like this. It has a 12 rating for a reason though. I enjoyed it, though it wasn't particularly remarkable.
The Help (2011) - my wife loves this and watched me to watch it. I hate watching movies of this sort, ie. the hypocrisy of supposedly faithful Christians who don't see any problem with treating other people as second-class citizens (and worse). I didn't enjoy this movie.
Mississippi Burning (1988) - I plan to watch this as a result of watching the previous film I liked films like In The Heat Of The Night (1967), so I'll probably enjoy this, I think.
My wife and I are about 4 episodes into the first season of Game of Thrones. I can't say I've got into it yet. I'm trying to get my head around all the characters and all the plots.
