knocked off 3 from my list today:
dave chappelles block party, def an acquired taste, daves sense of humour very odd, and far less main stream than say jamie foxx, but worth sticking with, esp for the fugee reunion
fearless, i seriously hope that this isnt jet li's final martial arts epic, because after once upon in china, the fong sai-yuk movies, and hero, its a bit of a let down. some of the sequences are good, but when you've see the other wu-shu work, you want a little more invention, a bit more...bite. jet, take a look at ong-bak and Tom yum goong, the games moved on....
fast and furious3: oh dear, so even paul walker wouldn't do this one, and i can see why. loud enough that i now need a hearing aid, enough crash cuts, whip pans and zooms to ensure if i ever go clubbing i will get photo sensitive epilepsy. walkers replacement looks and sounds like forrest gumps thicker brother, and spouts pretty much the same psuedo zen crap as vin from the first movie. even the cars, which should be the stars, look second division compared to the ones see in banzai and jap tuner. oh and mr director, if you are going to claim all the stunt work is for real, dont make the cgi more obvious than gollum picking his arse.....
bright spots: trailers for snakes on a plane, district 13, doa, cars, miami vice and of course superman

Its the only movie in a long time where I've actually felt an emotional connection with the main character, I don't think it was meant to be an all out "beat down" fest like ONG BAK, ong back was like the kung fu equivalant of Final Destination, nuff arms and shameful "if I got kicked like that I'd be glad to be dead so no one could laugh at me" Fearless was very moving and had some members of the audience near to tears and on top of that there were some exceptional fight scenes.
