Chose The Fighter.
Very disappointed in how slow and just uninteresting the film was. I will say that Christian Bale deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance.
I found myself not getting into the climax of the movie at all.

Tron Legacy: 9/10
That seems a bizarrely high rating, but to explain, I went in with incredibly low expectations because of the poor reviews and was completely blown away. My expectations probably had a large effect my rating.
In my opinion, for what the movie is -- a sci-fi action movie -- it was near perfection. Great story and superb acting? No. But that's not what this type of movie is about so I don't expect it or need it. Adequate story and adequate acting are all that's necessary when the real point of the movie is just to get some jaw-dropping beautiful scenery with action sequences and effects that equate to pure, unadulterated fun on screen. And it does those things in spades. It has cool **** and general bad-assery popping through at the seams.
The only imperfection in the movie is the CG young Kevin Flynn. For the most part it's terribly done and distraction. Maybe the technology just isn't there to make that type of thing convincing. If so, then they need to think of some way to get around it, because it's annoying. But really I could only honestly dock the movie 1 point for that.
If you like sci-fi action flicks, it's obviously a must see. But that probably goes without saying.

Interview with a Vampire 5/10
Did not really like it. It was extremely disturbing for many parts of it. I adore Kirsten Dunst, and she was pretty good in this movie, but the rest of it was unnecessarily graphic and unappealing. I've never read Anne Rice, and this does not make me want to read any either.

I tried to watch it once. I got through the first 15-20 minutes and almost died of boredom so I switched channels.

Also it seemed like the lighting was so bad in that opening scene that I had trouble making out what was going on.

Believe it or not I just saw "Pride of the Yankees" for the first time. Gotta say it was a great movie.
I highly recommend it for any sports fan but the fact that Babe Ruth actually played himself in the movie was a huge bonus. I think I will try to find it on DVD.

The book was actually pretty good and the idea is cool. The series of course went over the top and and became silly but Interview stands as a good book.
The movie wasn't bad and Dunstan was great. Great acting from a child.
I saw it in the theater and generally liked it enough, but haven't re-watched it, so who knows how it would stand for me after all this time.

Nice photography and art dept, but man what a waste of film and time.
I think I got through 30 minutes of that film and that was about 15-20 minutes longer than I should have.
I don't have a clue why they casted him in that role...it was just painful to watch IMO.
