I was sort of guessing but I came in expect something remarkably ridiculous so I just tried to look for twists and I never really got the vibe that
There are some movies where I just get the feeling to expect twists and then have a pretty good sense for where the twists are coming and as the film progresses I usually get more and more confident with my predictions or I just stop trying and enjoy the damn movie. The Prestige was one where I didn't get everything right away but as the movie went along I had a really good grasp of where they were going and got most of the twist a good while before I saw them on the screen.

I really liked Transsiberian. Good old fashioned suspense film. As far as I'm concerned Kinglsey should play the villain in any movie he's in, just look at his mug. Emily Mortimer, who I really like, is a pretty underrated actress. Great flick.

Wanted was entertaining. That's all you can really ask for.

I watched Righteous Kill the other day...
didn't really care for it. The "twist" was way too obvious.

I dislike most movies that rely on twists to try and get itself over. I prefer straight forward good storytelling

I hated "The Spirit." If it weren't for the oh so hot women in it then I would have left mid movie.

Saw the rest of Frost/Nixon finally, excellent movie IMO. I know a lot of people were "underwhelmed" but I thought it was brilliantly done. Langella was fantastic.

That's pretty cool, but from everything I've heard, working at a movie theater sucks. I don't know if it is just the theaters out here, but everyone who works at them seems to hate their job.

No it was just the movie without the 3-D you could see the parts what would have been badass in 3-D though.
Without the 3-D the only entertaining part in the whole movie is when the girl does full frontel for 15 minutes.

See, I was told that even in 3-D it was still ****** and not worth seeing. Not that I had been interested in seeing it but the idea of it being 3-D is intriguing.

I actually think in 3-D it would have been really cool. The story was **** yeah, but what did you expect.
Gran Torino officially shot up to one of my top five favorite movies.

I really do love Stella. Among the best comedy troupes out there today. McGee, you ever experience the greatness that is The Baxter?
