That I'm going to watch tomorrow. Today, season of the witch, Movie was good but I was expecting more from the climax then 4 men battling against a demon inside a church.

sucker punch had very cool visuals and action but lacking a storyline to hold it all together. 7/10

Able to do what most law enforcement officers only dream of, Carlin is now able to look back in time at the perpetrator's movements and at the life of the innocent woman whose death would set the events into motion".

Scott does his best to muck up the story with his idiotic Michael Bay slow-mo shots but nothing can detract from either the mounting tension or feelings of "what will happen next" that the movie generates. As an antithesis to something like Green Lantern the film also bleeds humanity even at it's silliest which unfortunately is pretty silly.
Anyway Washington is great as usual even if his character is a little familiar and the supposing cast ( Val Kilmer, Jim Caviezel and Adam Goldberg among others) is nothing less than uniformly good.

Sentimentalist that I am I really enjoyed this movie, probably more than I should but sentiment aside it did keep me guessing ( and cheering for the good guys ) until the very last frame which is a feat in itself.

The film also had an underlying social commentary about the American state of mind, not withstanding the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, much of the terrorist threat to America is from homegrown individuals (like Timothy McVeigh) and groups like 'The Order' ultra-right wing paramilitarists who see it as their right to bear arms, much like the fruitcake at the center of Deja Vu. This is something that has been forgotten in the 'War on Terror' currently being conducted in the shattered remains of countries that posed no military threat to America, while Al Qaeda happily hid out in the haven that is Pakistan, a country that is 'friendly' to the U.S.
The movie in a way serves as a reminder to for the U.S. to look inward as well as outward, and is far more prophetic than the current crop of 'the aliens are coming' paranoia films such as Skyline and Battle Los Angeles.

So do you think the decision to film in a post Katrina New Orleans is also tied to this? I mean except for a couple throw-away shots of the destruction the locale isn't really much of a factor in the story.
Btw I just discovered that the woman who is Denzel's love interest (Paula Patton) is in the upcoming Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol

That and supposedly Jeremy Renner is supposedly going to take over for Tom Cruise.
