Hot Fuzz: Done by the same crew as Shaun of the Dead. I liked Shaun of the Dead quite a bit more but Hot Fuzz was still pretty good. I was expecting a bit more comedy out of it, but it had a few good laughs in it. Some of the fast motion sequences had my wife getting sick, and at times it is a bit much. But a decent story and some obvious parts to it but all in all a fun watch. 7/10.
3:10 to Yuma: A somewhat typical western starring Russell Crowe and Chistian Bale. Crowe does and excellent job playing Ben Wade, an outlaw wanted for robbery who is captured and forced to be escorted to the 3:10 train to Yuma. I couldn't get into Bales character, Dan Evans. Evans is a farmer struggling to make it and takes on the job of helping escort Wade to the station. The movie moves along at a nice pace and doesn't seem drug out. A good mix of action and gunfights as well as interesting dialogue between the characters. 8/10.
Shoot Em Up: Now, I must say you have to watch this movie with an open mind and is nothing more than an action/violence movie. For what it was, I really enjoyed it. There was some pretty bad CG in it, but if you can look past that, it's a lot of fun. I understand that a lot of people will hate it and while I may never watch it again, it was an hour and half of entertainment. Plus, Paul Giamatti plays a great bad guy. 7/10
