im also going to admit that mean girls was all right too...i thought it was going to be silly young teenage girl flick, which it was, but there were a few clever parts and yes the girls were hot, even though a few of them were pushing 30, playing a 17 year old. and yes, lohan from africa is the least plausible concept ever, but she was still sweeeet in it..what a shame was has happened to her (and her rack).
I thought Mean Girls was pretty solid. I laughed for the vast majority of the flick, and there was some serious eye candy in it to boot.
Just to touch upon some of the other movies mentioned in the first 3 pages...
Pirates II: loved it, 9/10 - can't wait for the third
Borat: 10/10 - one of the funniest movies I've ever seen; albeit, one of the dumbest and most pointless - but I haven't laughed that hard in quite the while
The Breakup: 6/10, eh; had a few funny parts/lines
no ones said this yet so, Deja vu, 7.5/10 - 8/10 it was pretty good, i enjoied watching it but it wasn't amazing, then a few days later i found myself thinking about it and how i liked the film.
another one was casino royale 8/10 the begining chase was sick, all around good bond film.

I would've rated Casino Royale an 8/10, but after seeing it a couple more times, I'd rate it a 10/10. I thought it was quite lofty when a few critics lauded it as the best Bond flick since Goldfinger, but I'm convinced it is. The action sequences were first-rate and thankfully, a lot more believable and visceral than Die Another Day. The acting was great too and with a few more outings, Daniel Craig might supplant Connery as the best Bond in my book; Craig is more in line with Connery and the character from the Ian Fleming books. What makes this Bond movie stick out in quite a long time is that the plot is more involving, namely because the Bond character really develops into the persona Bond is known for.
The only gripes I had about it was the lag time up until the climax, but it served its purpose. Originally, I thought Thunderball was the best Bond since Goldfinger, but even that movie's scenes really lagged where it felt like watching a 3 hour flick. Casino Royale was about 14 minutes longer than Thunderball, but the suspense relative to TB is palpable enough to not even notice the lengthy running time. The plot needs some smoothing out, as it left a few questions unanswered, but Bond 22 is meant to be a true sequel of Casino Royale as opposed to other past Bond flicks. I can't wait for Bond 22 in 2008.

As you could probably surmise, I'm an avid Bond fan.
I thought Brosnan was a fairly good Bond as he has the balance between Sean Connery and Roger Moore, but leans more with Connery, and he wasn't as over-the-top brash as Timothy Dalton. The scripts he received weren't much good to begin with, except for Goldeneye, which was his finest hour as Bond.

I rank them the same way. 2 didn't do too much for me and I just loved 1 and 3.

Already announced actually.

Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
