I saw In Bruges when it came out definitely an overlooked film.

(Honestly, it's weird, seeing animals harmed in film bother me more than seeing humans harmed in film, but I digress)... ... My Soul to Take (2010)  I honestly thought that this was pretty bad - All of the characters were 2-dimensional and unlikeable. And the ending was pretty lame. I really only watched it since many a SOUL on here had the review: "It wasn't THAT bad," which is sometimes all we can hope for out of a horror film... But I just thought it was kinda lame. Oddly enough, I'd prefer a I Know What You Did Last Summer over this silly teen slasher. 2/5. ... Gone Baby Gone (2007)  After really enjoying The Town, I figured that it was time that I sit down and finally watch Gone Baby Gone and, honestly, I loved it. Definitely more complex than The Town, Gone Baby Gone explores a couple of pretty interesting moral dilemmas... Different concepts of Right and Wrong - Corruption for the Greater Good - And it was done fairly subtly and left ultimately ambiguous... Casey Affleck was incredible as a Boston hometown PI and Ed Harris was simply phenomenal. My biggest qualm with the film, honestly, was Morgan Freeman - This is supposed to be some kind of gritty portrayal of Boston's Southie and here's Morgan Freeman as the chief investigator... Just didn't really fit in. I felt as though he was MORGAN FREEMAN leading the investigation, not Sargent Jack Doyle - They probably needed a big name, but I'd prefer someone who could actually pass as being from Boston (hey, Ed Harris did). Also - Amy Ryan as the coked out mother was AMAZING - I had only seen her as Holly on The Office - Didn't realize that she had acting range. She was really fantastic. Some of the writing was a little weak at times, but I found this movie captivating. It really made me re-question my stance on crime dramas (I used to name that particular cinematic genre as one of my least favorites) - Turns out, if it's a GOOD crime drama, it's a good movie. 4/5 Last edited by ChronoGrl; 03-04-2011 at 06:30 AM.

 MIlton (as in John Milton, geddit) is back from hell to avenge the murder of his wife and family. He literally drives out of hell too. This movie is dumb, cliched and predictable and I loved it it. The only thing that would have made it better if Chris Walken played Hell's agent instead of the guy from Black Hawk Down. The shoot out while still drinking and fucking is one of cinema's best scenes ever... It did help that I had a 4 pack of cheap Polish Lager with me. I hope the sequal is called Drive Angrier in 4D.

I'm with you on not being able to stand watching animal cruelty. Watched several episodes of the Masters Of Horror series and its like their obsessed with it. Still at least its not real unlike on the "Cannibal" films.
