Channing Tatum was good in Side Effects, but he's only in the movie for the first half. Probably my favourite performance of his so far, but then I've never been a huge fan.

I'm off to see the new Die Hard movie tomorrow afternoon, so I'll report back my thoughts after I've seen it.

Just finished watching "Compliance". Thought it was fairly disturbing at times. It's a complete fucked situation, really. Although, Dreama Walker is wonderful. She's so purrty.

He was good in 21 Jump Street & The Vow, and I've heard great things about Magic Mike. Dude's no Day-Lewis but he's made some decent ground credibility wise this last year.

Just watched the new Red Dawn. Damn, thus is all ass backwards. If a bunch of small ass Asians were dropping down into America, then ever red neck and crazy bastard with a gun would be picking of Charlie before he even hit the ground.

I thought the Red Dawn remake was pretty decent. It seemed to get a hell of a lot of hate that it didn't deserve.

I feel like this is my first time watching The Social Network, I watched it when it came out but didn't pay much attention really. It was done pretty well, the whole cast worked great. Andrew Garfield was absolutely phenomenal though. He added a bit of comedy at some points but when it came down to it after his return from New York he was great with some intense delivery. It also helped make people view Justin Timberlake as a serious actor, in case Alpha Dog wasn't evidence enough. I just wish Brenda Song's career would've went somewhere after this.

Yeah, Timberlake was the real standout of the movie to me. I didn't take him seriously as an actor until seeing this film. Eisenberg was okay, but he was still paying a similar character to his usual.

Yeah, the Michael Cera comparisons have been out there forever but they're pretty true. I enjoy both though honestly. Eisenberg's upcoming movie "Now You See Me" looks great though, reuniting him with Woody Harrelson and a load of other great actors. At least Cera has Arrested Development since he seemed to just drop off.

But anyway, best scene to showcase both Garfield and Timberlake. So fucking epic.

I don't know if any other thread has mentioned it, but what the hell is it with all the WWE Studios movies coming out lately with seemingly no wrestlers in them?

Almost every one of their movies features a wrestler in a small role, but the reason is most likely due to them trying to be a legitimate studio.

I read somewhere that they were nit going to use many wrestlers in order to see if they could boost revenue.

I love it. Dead Man Down and The Call seem to be getting a good bit of attention and have some nice star power. Wrestlers in supporting roles is the right way to go.

Dead Man Down looks pretty awesome actually. Not as sold on The Call because it seems pretty similar to Untraceable, but you never know.

This right here. WWE Studios saw a huge drop in revenue last year, so this year is pretty much make or break for them.
