I'm going to try to watch 50 films in theaters by my next birthday.

# 1 Dragon Wars (D-War)
Crazy Korean movie made with American actors. Nuts in every way imaginable. Not very well edited or cast or scripted etc etc. Funny in that laughing at you sort of way.

#2 3:10 to Yuma
Gorgeous. Lots of characters that are interesting and worth your attention. Moral ambiguity. Gorgeous colors, wonderful use of the southwest. Acting was absolutely marvelous. A couple of odd cameos too.

#3 Shoot Em Up
Oh, Paul Giamatti! Why oh why did you end up in this film? It's totally not his style. Clive Owen on the other hand, this movie is right up his ally. Guns and filthy language and odd sex. In the end this movie is pretty much what you'd expect it to be: lots of shooting, silly one liners, tortured logic. There were a few sour notes, but mostly it was enjoyable. One of those movies where you end up exclaiming "What?!" every few minutes.
