Saw the Rundown tonight

And it ROCKED (bad pun, I know, SORRY!). It was a fun film and that's what I think has been missing from a lot of recent films, the fact that they are supposed to be fun. Best Matrix-like effects in a non-Matrix movie I've seen and even then they didn't appear to be total rip-offs of the Matrix style.

Along these lines, but probably done better, the trailer for "Kill Bill" ran before this and I can't wait for this movie, despite it being split into two "volumes." The music, the action, and most importantly the dialogue all combine to make an utterly exciting trailer, so I hope the movie(s) live up to this.

How can you not like Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman's little conversation:

LL: You didn't think it would be easy did you?
UT: For a minute there, yeah, I actually did.
LL: Silly rabbit.

If the rest of the dialogue is similar, Tarintino still has it. Best dialogue writer in the business.

So in the usual September/October slump, we are getting some good, fun movies, which makes me happy. "School of Rock" also appears to be in this bunch, but I think it might end up being a rental for me.
