Well it depends if you are a comic book fan of Catwoman or at least like to read Batman Comics books you will like it as an average film.
If your aren't then you won't like it that much but I thought it was worst then the Batman films but better then most Comic Books movie.
The film Catwoman had action, adventure, comedy and romantics in my view of point I'll give the film an 8 out of 10.

IMDB gives Catwoman 2.6/10 (1969 votes at the time of posting) That makes it no 35 on the top 100 worst movies of all time list.

The only reason why they gave it that rate was because the film was too silly and makes believe.
Tell me how can a woman die and be reborn as a catwoman.
Also the plot was weak but that no way to treat a DC Comic hero and villain.
Everyone has their opinion my opinion is it's great to watch.

Bend It Like Beckam

Cute film, a little to chick flicky for me, but I enjoyed it.

Peter Pan (2003) for the second time.

First, the bad: I thought Tinkerbell was terribly cast. Jason Isaacs was only a decent fit for Capt. Hook, but that may have to do with the more earthy/realistic way in which he was portrayed, which I didn't particularly care for. I also thought the whole hidden kiss thing didn't make much sense and was (admittedly by the filmmakers) included only to give the aunt a bigger role. Oh, and I didn't like the way the parrots looked. I think those were my only big complains, which may sound like a lot, but then there's the positive:

This film capture the spirit of the Peter Pan story perhaps better than any other version made before it (though I'm not prepared to say that definitively, lol). I really got caught up in the story, and this time around I actually slightly teared up during the "I do believe in fairies scene." Come to think of it, I enjoyed it much more this time in general. The imagery of the film is absolutely stunning. This film was overlooked for several deserving Oscar noms, if not wins, including Jeremy Sumpter for best actor. His performance was dead-on. He is Peter Pan in that film.

Snatch - I only watched it in agreement that a friend would in turn watch The Color Purple later this week. "Another Ocean's 11," I thought (I thought Ocean's 11 was just "ok" and way overrated). Turns out it was much better. Very hard to follow (partially due to the heavy accents), but a funny- yet sometimes disturbing- heist movie that I really enjoyed. Great acting from an all-star cast!

Anything Else (2003) - which is Woody Allen's most recent picture. A lot of people have used it to point to the death of Woody's old quality filmmaking, but I personally think it is a bit of a return to form. Woody steps out of the limelight, for the most part, and lets Jason Biggs play his usual role. Christina Ricci does a great job of the adorable/annoying girlfriend. I really couldn't see that much wrong with it (although as one critic said, you know Allen has lost touch with the youth of New York when his characters go to a Diana Krall concert and enjoy it).

Still, Woody is an acquired taste, and I just happen to think his writing is still pretty sharp.

I got my wisdom teeth removed last Tuesday, so I had a lot of time to see some movies I'd never seen:

DVD:
Donnie Darko
The Quiet Man
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
The Happiest Millionaire
The Wild Bunch
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
A Clockwork Orange
King Kong (1933) - LOVED!!! [VHS recorded from TCM]
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
High Noon
The Best Years of Our Lives - Very Good Movie

In theaters:
The Village

That's cool MMP, I like The Country Bears and Howard the Duck after all.

I saw Spiderman 2 yesterday with my cousin.
I didn't really like it.....maybe it's because I didn't see the first one. Well... I mean...it wasn't horrible....I liked the love story and all, but I'm just not a spiderman fan in general But yea, it was ok.

Howard the Duck is a masterpiece!

...I liked The Country Bears too. haha

Just watched Scary Movie 3. None of them ever get old- only funnier.

Oh, and I watched The Mummy - The Ultimate Edition. It's one of those movies I loved, watched a few times at friends' houses, decided to buy, and then let two years go by without watching, lol. I'd forgotten just how great it is, and just how awesome the DVD itself is (the sound is incredible).

Spartacus! loved it!

Dr. No.

Barbershop funny movie

Igby Goes Down - It wasn't exactly what I expected it to be, and went a slightly more cliche route. Still, I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone (well, not anyone, but most). After all, you can't really go wrong with 2 Culkins in one film. The tone is in keeping with films like American Beauty, if you want something to go by.

Braveheart - My first time seeing the whole film (I watched half of it like 3 years ago) and in its proper ratio. It was fantastic! I absolutely loved it!

I just watched The Last Samurai. That was a pretty good movie. I thought it was very sad though. It made me cry! One of my friends saw the movie and she is Japanese, she didnt like it at all. I dont blame her. I dont think I will ever watch that movie again, it is to hard for me to watch since I lived in Japan for 5 years.
