I happened to have watched two of your DVD list movies this past weekend:
***I was really looking forward to seeing Eastern Promises because I like the director's other films, but it was a huge disappointment! I didn't like it at all.
IMDB score= 7.9/10 My score: 2/10 :(

***I had heard such good things about 3:10 to Yuma, but I fell asleep halfway through and really didn't care to watch the rest. Nevertheless, it was less of a letdown than Eastern Promises.

Anyway, I just wanted to put that out there: Eastern Promises=totally AWFUL plot/script but good acting.
