The Last Samurai was a pretty good flick in my opinion. Tom Cruise has a lot of really good movies.

Just finished The Last Samurai.
I really enjoyed that one. Had some elements that reminded me of Shogun, which is my favourite book and miniseries.
My buddy has a great analogy on how every Tom Cruise movie relates to him being gay. It's funny as hell.
Watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind last night. Didn't enjoy the movie as much as I'd seen it hyped but the camera work was pretty nifty.
Just watched I Love You Beth Cooper
Just watched Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde.
Fucking A it was horrible.

Do share.
Anybody ever check out Requiem For a Dream?

Haha. Are all these late night movie reports after dates?
Steve: The Tom Cruise thing is a some what popular internet thing. I think there are a video or two about it.
Seen Requiem For a Dream. If you liked that one, then Amores Perros (Spanish) and The Square (Australian) should be on your list.

One upcoming film that looks pretty good is Tron Legacy. Out in Dec. Was anyone like me and geeked out over the first one when they were a kid? Loved Tron.
Also, it would be nice if MGM could put their money woes past them and put out the new Red Dawn and Cabin in the Woods (big Joss Whedon fan). Both films are completed....just waiting on you MGM....any day now.....[Poke]

Watched Legion last night. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I really didn't get into the moive as I had hoped I would.
There are a lot of cool firearms (most are fully-auto) in it though, which is awesome.
There's one scene where Michael, the Angel, is instructing others how to fire the weapons and tells them to hold on with both hands because if it get's away from them they'll end up blowing their hand off. Everyone turns and looks at Percy, the vet (he wears his dogtags) who has a prostestetic hook for a hand. Funny.
Pulled one out of the vault yesterday. Female Trouble has to be one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. [Shock] John Waters has a knack for pushing buttons.
Tom Cruise has been in a lot of good movies. Too bad he hasn't been good in them. IMHO a sock puppet would have more charisma.

I was completely excited for this movie to come out. I went to the theatre opening day. Like you, my expectations were wayyy too high. It was entertaining and worth seeing but I just thought it would be a lot different. That old lady is creepy.

Legion was ok, not great. Maybe a C-.
Just finished Fido. I can't believe what a great movie that was. I can't even describe the movie as campy. It was brilliant. Fido was a million times better than shit movies like Stripper Zombies and Piranha and all those other crap movies.

About the same for me. I REALLY wanted to like that movie, and there was some decent action in it, but it was pretty meh overall

Legion needs less plot line and more action imo.
Beerfest is just wrapping up on Comedy Central right now.
Is it even possible to not get drunk whilst enjoying this comedy? I think not.
Just finished Get Him to the Greek.

that was one of my favourite movies when I used to drink, but now, I really can't watch it because it brings up too many bad memories. great movie though.
Watching one of the Resident Evil movies on Veetle right now. Even though I've only seen about 5 minutes of what appears to be the ending, I've got to say that this is one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen. Shooting pistols at a plane that has already taken off? Epic dumb.
If anyone has seen any of these movies (I haven't), it is the one where they board some ship at the end.
Just got done with Leaves of Grass. Pretty funny movie.
http://smellslikescreenspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/LeavesOfGrass-poster.jpg
I saw a preview for that. I want to see both of Norton's new movies.
Continuing with the Southern theme, That Evening Sun. I've been following Ray McKinnon and Walter Goggins for a while and this one is on par with some of the great Southern classics.

last samurai is a good one. requiem for a dream is freaky as hell but good. takes a few weeks to shake that one off
i actually saw "the kingdom" with jamie foxx for the second time the other day, it was just on tv. i don't know what it is but i actually like that movie. i find it entertaining
anyone ever watch green zone? about the most politically biased movie ive seen in a long time
oh and ps: any old steven seagal film is my guilty pleasure. they just crack me up and for some reason entertain the hell out of me. in one of them, i can't remember which one, they start the movie by him throwing a pimp through a car windshield and then STEVEN SEAGAL flashes across the screen. its moments like that that i realize they just don't make movies like they used to.
The Kingdom was good, it shows quite simply why there will never be peace in the middle east.
that seagal flick with the pimp is Out For Justice. like all early seagal flicks it's not great, but still awesome.
Yesterday I watched Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lighting Thief. Enjoyable but too much like harry potter.
The chick in percy jackson is smokin' hot.
Just finished Knight and Day.
enjoyably over the top action/spy stuff.
Just got The Wood to show Gloria. I remember thinking it was pretty funny when it came out back in 1999. Basically just a couple of guys reminiscing about growing up in the LA suburb of Ingelwood, CA.
Not a movie but a mini-series, I just finished Generation Kill and would recommend it for any of you who haven't watched it yet

I forgot about this one. I'd like to check it out.

Generation Kill does look good. So it's basically a more modern day (2003) Band of Brothers type mini series from what I read. Only difference is it's coming from a reporters perspective right?
It's not really from his perspective but a reporter is embedded with them. I liked how alot of it was about their mental state and interactions with each other instead of all action all the time.
Just finished Predators.
A little too derivative of the first one, but much better than the AVP crap.
Enjoyable, but it bugs me when you watch a film and it does not show things you saw in the trailer.
Just got done watching the 1950 film-noir Gun Crazy/Deadly Is The Female. Two sharpshooters fall in love then go on a cross country crime spree. Lots of guns and car chases. A pretty racy movie for it's time.
Favorite hoaky quote;
We go together like...like guns and ammo.

I liked it. I thought it was funny. I read an article awhile back that said they did a bunch of that stuff on purpose to make it make it as close to the original as possible with still having a "new" story line.
I went and saw Red last night. It was pretty entertaining. I'm not sorry that I went and watched it. John Malkovich's character cracked me up pretty good.

Anyone seen The Road? Is it worth renting?
The Road was good (probably because it was based on a book). It made my fiance all gung hoe to stock up on food. She's already bought a package of rice and some extra noodles. lol. The Road did a great job of making all the scenery very bleak and colorless. I'd like to see the same thing happen (only better) if they ever make a Mistborn movie.

Yeah, I was surprised to see it on there. Veetle is just like watching TV. You just pick a channel and see what's on, you don't get to pick. Last night we watched Disney's Peter Pan in HD and Flight of the Navigator.

Ok . . . . so I just finished The Road. Uh . . all my friends can call me weird for stock piling my ammo and having a lot of guns but guess what . . Nobody is gonna eat this MF.

Anyone seen this?
The Human Centipede (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1467304/)
I saw some clips of it on the Scream Awards this week, and it looks pretty messed up.
Yep, Human Centipede is pretty boring. Most movies like that are usually full of tits and gore to make up for the horrible plot, horrible acting, horrible everything. This one doesn't have hardly any nudity, and no gore or anything. Hardly any blood, zero feces. Just terrible acting and more reassurance that if you are an American tourist any where, you can pretty much kiss your ass good bye.
The book was way better.

10-28-2010, 17:31
Stuart, you don't even make the book sound interesting.
Not my sort of plot I suppose.
From 1964. Pretty fine story about a British detachment of engineers fighting in South Africa 1878.
What doing the right thing at the right time does. Not Custer's last stand.
Google it if your interested.
We just finished watching a documentary called Touching The Void.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touching_the_Void
We had never even heard of it, and stumbled onto it toward the beginning. I almost changed it at a slow part, and am really glad I didn't. I was a very good watch and pretty intense. I think it might have appeared on HBO or something.

Just finished watching Once. Brilliant. What a wonderful movie. Music really gets to me in general (as a musician), and it was no exception in this movie. I was an emotional wreck for most of it because the music was so damn good. I didn't realize that Glen Hansard is in one of my favorite movies too, The Commitments. But great movie, and is now easily in my top ten all time films.
just watched Stone Cold.

So I watched Red this past week and have to say John Malkovich was piss your pants hilarious, I'm not sure what that movie would've been like without him. I like to think I wouldn't have enjoyed it.
It's old school weekend.

Has anyone ever heard of a movie called Burning Shingles or something like that?
Burning Shingles
Nothing a little penicillin won't take care of. [Coffee]
Never heard of it.
I called my parents, and it was called Burnt Offerings.
Back in high school my cousin and I went on a scary movie binge, and I asked my parents what the scariest movie they had ever seen was. I asked around at Blockbuster and no one had ever heard of it. Now, thanks to the internet, I can find those obscure films. I'm thinking that it might not have been all that obscure, as much as I was just dumb and got the title wrong.
I have had Shingles before though.
Also, earlier today I was watching Child's Play (Chucky) in Spanish. I was always a fan of the movie House as well.
There was a made for tv movie called The Haunted that scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. There was another movie called The Haunted, but it was different than the made for tv one.
There is also supposed to be a movie that was based on a story in Cherry Creek in Denver. EDIT: I think it is called The Changling. I don't know what that one is called though. I think in that one, some guy is living in a house and hears banging all the time, > and tears apart his house to find a built over room where some kid was killed. He was drown in the bathtub and the banging he kept hearing was the kid hitting the side of the claw foot tub that his dad drown him in. <
I also liked the movies Witchboard, and Eyes of Fire. It has been a long time since I've seen most of these. I can't stand how there are no good scary movies out today. Gore and blood is not scary.

Ohh man. I totally forgot about House (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091223/). I loved that flick. I'm going to try to get a hold of it right now. Thanks!
Yeah, House was awesome. I've seen House, House 2, and House 4 (totally lame). I was never able to find, and never even saw, a copy of House 3 over the years.
steveopia
10-30-2010, 19:52
I think I may have seen House 2 but I can't really remember it. Hell, I can't remember the original for that matter. I'll have it soon though. It'll be an appropriate movie to watch tomorrow fo sho.
House 2 was a lot more comedy. In fact I think it was basically a super natural party.
I'd forgotten about those. I ate up B rated horror flicks.
Slumber Party Massacre
Tool Box Murders
Evil Deads
The Stuff
That's all I can think of off the top of the head.

I'd have to say that, by far, the scariest movie I ever saw - was the 1967 movie It! (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061826/plotsummary) starring the late great actor Roddy McDowall (most notable for his recurring role as Cornelius in the Planet of the Apes movies).
Now, this is absolutely nothing like Stephen King's 1990 TV movie "It".
Maybe it was because I was only 7 or 8 when I watched it and because my family was visiting friends that night so I was up much later than I normally would have been allowed to stay up, but it scared the bahgeebuh's out of me.
scariest movie I ever saw was the blair witch project... I was so scared I would not get my money back after sitting through 25 minutes of shear c@#$
Seriously though, I watched Stanley on a plane back from Germany as a kid. We were on our way to Florida to do an airboat tour of the Everglades. Not a good plan.
We'll just say the movie sucks, but I still remember the title.
Watched Jaws the day before we went to the beach at Myrtle Beach. Staying inside and watching movies turned out to be the best part of the trip since Myrtle Beach is basically a trailer park on ocean front property. The part I went to anyway.
Just finishing up Jaws. Still a great movie.
First time I saw it was as a kid. We went to Galveston the next week. My brother and I wouldn't go in the water above our knees.[Scuba]

The Greatest American Hero (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081871/). I loved this show when I was little. Dude had the suit that made him "super" (not to be confused with thooper) but he couldn't fly for shhh. I'm sure it sucks now . . . just like MacGyver.

I went to Let Me In the other night...a really good vampire flick. Serious, not any humor to break the intenseness of the story. I liked that it held to the old legends that a vampire cannot enter you home without being invited. The vampire is played the girl from KickAss.
Prior to that I saw Red...very humorous. Loved the pink pig.

I haven't seen Star Ship Troopers yet. I know it is a big Sci-Fi favorite though. At first I wrote it off as just another summer action movie, but didn't know it was based on books and had a following.

Ah Pook, you've spit in my face and dishonored my family.

I have no idea how Karen Black made it into so many movies (at least two). She is atrocious. Sorry Karen.
so I've been watching movies..
just finished Edge of Darkness. missed the first bit, caught it right when the girl got shot. a couple of parts I liked, but the plot was too muddled. one of those could have been awesome but actually kindof sucked films.
yesterday watched Easy A. mildly funny, emma stone is awesome and I love her, but otherwise forgettable film.
last night watched Volcano. good cheesy hollywood disaster flick. best past is at the end when the kid says "look, they all look the same" I always thought that was a great scene and eerily prophetic of four years later.
this afternoon started to watch Dead Poets Society. I guess I've changed, because it was ok when I was in high school, but now I thought it was pretty dumb. didn't finish, switched to edge of darkness.

I watched "The Fourth Kind" over this last weekend. It was creepy at some points but it more or less just pissed me off. If it's supposed to be real footage at some points but the camera gets interference from the aliens why do they do the whole switchy frame thing? Just let the GD thing play for what it is. And after that dude drops his wife I'm sure the snipers would've taken him out before he got to his kids. C'mon.
It's worth watching for the eerie factor I guess.
Our kid likes dinosaurs, so I had her watch the first Jurassic Park the other day. I love that movie, it is one of my all time favorites. I haven't checked out the other two. I suspect them to be more action and less logic (even though the second one is based on a book as well), but I'll still check them out.

I picked up a kaiser blade just sittin' there by the screen door. Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade. It gotta long wood handle, kinda like a ax-handle. With a long blade on it, shaped kinda like a bananer. Mm-hmm. Sharp on one edge, dull on the other. What the highwayboys use to cut down weeds and what-not. Well, I went in there in the house, and I hit Jesse Dixon upside the head with. Knocked him off my mother. Mm. I reckon that didn't quite satisfy me. So I hit him again with it in the neck with the sharp edge, just plum near cut his head off. Mm-hmm. Killed him.
Ogen - I've owned Syriana since just after it came out on DVD and still have yet to watch it. I guess I'll have to check it out.

Best movie of the year or just another Hollywood rip-off of a popular book title?
Atlas Shrugged (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480239/)

12-09-2010, 18:35
Who is John Galt? Having him portrayed by Paul Johansson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0424035/) seems an absolute travesty to me.
I've been keeping tabs on the movie for the past year and the word is that they've supposedly kept it as close to the book as they can (as much as you can in a 2 - 3 hr movie for a 1200 pages book).
I wasn't at all pleased with their choices of cast members. I mean Grant Bowler (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0101198/) as Henry Reardon? Isn't Hank supposed to be a bit older than this guy? It's like they didn't do their research and find out what the characters should look, act, or sound like.
I'm concerned with liberal Hollywood making a movie off of a story that really goes against so many of the values of the actors and movie industry as a whole.
I suspect the message(s) the book tries to convey will be super washed down and the movie will relay none of what it should to the viewing public, leaving them having no real idea what Atlas Shrugged is really about.
So, to answer your question: I think it will be just another Hollywood rip-off of a popular book title?

Without giving any spoilers to those who haven't yet seen the movie, what did you think of the plot twist?
Have we already discussed how awesome the first Ong Bak, Thai Warrior movie was? If not, we should. The second one was visually great in my opinion, although it didn't follow the first one at all. I haven't seen the third one because it looks like they took all the deleted scenes from Ong Bak 2 and made Ong Bak 3 out of them.

I like the one with the continuous shot where he fights his way to the top floor of the building, that was pretty cool.
oh, wasn't ong bak... the protector.
I thought The Protector was lame. However, there is a similar, and much more cool scene in Ong Bak 2. In The Protector, he was fighting a bunch of queers on roller skates, I could fight my way out of a mall like that too. In Ong Bak 2, he is fighting fighter after fighter in the same manner.
well, tony jaa is awesome all the way around I think.
got into a discussion with my pops about book of eli
highlight below for spoilers.
so he finally watched it and I mentioned to him that I had talked to folks who didn't get the plot twist.
he replied "what plot twist?"
I told him that dezel was blind, and he was surprised. he missed it too. told him that throughout the movie there are clues that show he's blind, like smelling the bandits, kicking steps and only shooting after someone gave away their position by shooting first.
so he says to me today that he rewatched it and he doesn't believe he was blind, says there's no way.
I asked him if he wasn't blind why'd he have to dictate the bible, why not just write it down? hehe he didn't have an answer to that one.

Original was on the tube last night.
Wife says the same thing "How dare they make a remake of The Dukes Movie."
Not sure maybe wait til it's on PPV. hate theaters anyway.
It's just merchandising by re-branding. Look at all the new movies coming out with old titles that have little to do with the originals.

No they didn't. They made a movie from the original book. According to all the reviews, the John Wayne movie was lame and soft (unlike the novel) and this one isn't. The Brothers said they didn't even watch the movie. Also, apparently, much of the script was lifted directly from the book. Sounds like Mr. Wayne is the blasphemer here.

ok, a couple of days ago watched the proposal. had a couple of small laughs but for the most part a lame chick flick.
today watched showtime on cable. not the channel, the eddie murphy bob deniro flick. horrible, shitty, worthless anti gun piece of shit. on of the worst films I've ever seen deniro in. (or seen, period)
however, one scene made me laugh out loud. eddie murphy gets out of his flashy corvette and slides across the hood trying to show off, and deniro says real cops don't slide across the hood.
mruphy asks why not, and deniro points at the hood and replies because your holster scratches the hell out of the paint job.
murphy looks back and sees a huge gouge in the hood of the nice car.
that was awesome.
the rest was utter shite. if they had stereotyped and marginalized blacks or gays or anyone else as badly as they did guns and gun owners in that film it would have been banned.

I couldn't help but to laugh at The Proposal.
We also finally watched Inception (on our slightly newer, slightly smaller, but much better TV) and I loved it. I watch movies like Inception, and wonder why people even bother making all those other shitty movies. Obviously it is for the money.
I'm going to have to go back through this thread until I can find the discussion on that movie.
so I just watched the expendables.
it was meh, neat action but otherwise pretty stupid.
you can always tell when sly stallone is a driving force in production, because the plot develops holes big enough to drive one of judge dredd's flying motorcycles through.
Giselle Itié is pretty freakin' hot tho.
The expendables... At least the guns were nice...
The proposal I thought was a good movie. Sandra Bullock is just damn sexy. The Blind side was good also.
Has anyone seen the new movie Red?
I've seen most of it. It was a good funny movie with funny movie action in it. It was better than Expendables.
You have seen most of it? Did you walk out of the theater? [ROFL1]

Took the boy to see Tron at the Imax. Our first modern Imax experience. A great movie to pay the extra for 3D. I won't be wasting money on Imax anymore. I think I was expecting a screen 3 times the size that wraps around more like the old school museum Imax (midnight Pink Floyd laser shows). Regardless, The movie was absolutely mesmerizing. I can look around the plot holes and goofy "Bowe-esque" character midway through.
Salt- Angelia Jolie, La Fem Nikita.....hmmm... not bad till it climaxed in the implausible 'basement' scene.
Inception, Pretty cool. I try to avoid DiCaprio, even though he really didn't act much in the movie, but couldn't avoid it. Worth watching!
The Other Guys was so stupid I didn't make it past the first 15 minutes. Then I accidently returned the red box movie to the library and it took me 10 days to get it back from the library. So I ended up spending $10 for that stupid movie!
Finally watched The Human Centipede. Stu, you were right, it sucked.
I'm sorry, I didn't see this until now. Yeah, the only thing it really shared with other movies in the genre is terrible acting. You've seen Teeth already right?
You were right, The Other Guys was a stupid movie. Next one I want to find is Dinner with Schmucks.

I'm sorry, I didn't see this until now. Yeah, the only thing it really shared with other movies in the genre is terrible acting. You've seen Teeth already right?
yeah, i've seen Teeth. I love cheesy bad horror though...
Watched Valhalla Rising last night. Interesting movie. Not from Hollywood for sure. Very little dialogue and lots of brooding.

I won't be wasting money on Imax anymore. I think I was expecting a screen 3 times the size that wraps around more like the old school museum Imax (midnight Pink Floyd laser shows).
YES! That's what I was expecting when I went to see a Harry Potter movie in IMAX. Nothing like the IMAX screen that you described and I saw a movie of some sort on when I was MUCH younger. Very disappointing.
I try to avoid DiCaprio, even though he really didn't act much in the movie,
Hmm. Sounds like every DiCaprio movie I've ever seen. [ROFL1]
So, I'm sitting here in my living room thinking that tonight is a great night to stay in and watch a movie but after reading the titles of many of the movies that a lot of you (esp Stuart) watches, I know better than to ask for a recommendation. You folks watch some really weird stuff.

Is that directed at me? If it is, then yes I do watch a lot off beat movies. Tonight is Machete and Hellride. [Muaha]
DiCaprio's best role (IMHO) was in What's Eating Gilbert Grape.
You should watch either Revolver or Real Rock 'n Rolla Ginsue. They are both by Guy Ritchie and I bet you'll like either one of them. Just because I've seen some weird movies, doesn't mean that they all are.
I've decided that I've never seen a DiCaprio movie that I didn't like. That includes Titanic, which I refused to watch for several years because of all the hype. During the scene where they have sex for the first time, I laughed my head off at the irony of them being in the middle of the ocean on a huge boat, and because of the time period there were only a few cars in the world, and yet they still lost their virginity in a car.

Okay, I'll admit that the preview for Revolver looks exactly like something I'd enjoy - gona have to find it and check it out.
I was trying to place the guy playing Mr. Green but was at a loss until the credits rolled - Jason Stratham. wow, I didn't recognize him visually, but his voice...
Thanks for the nudge Stuart and MB888 - this is one I probably would have overlooked.
I really like the gun play in Revolver. Real Rock n' Rolla is awesome as well; has Gerard Butler in it.
EDIT: I'm about to go to sleep, but if I had Revolver still, I'd watch it right now. Love that movie.
EDIT 2: In American films, Jason Stratham and Gerard Butler are in mostly shitty movies. They are great in these Guy Ritchie films though.

Anybody ever watch Lucky Number Slevin? I remember really liking this movie. Haven't seen it for a few years.

Watched Machete. Pretty fun action movie. If you get keyed up over the immigration issue, skip this one.

I loved the original "True Grit" with JW. I, too, was torn about seeing it because I thought, "Why just watch a remake when I can watch the Duke in the original?"
But I did some reading and found the reviews positive and that it was faithful to the book. So yesterday, my son/DIL/wife and I went to see it.
While it was very similar to the original, their were some differences that added up to a worthwhile experience. I don't see many movies in theaters...last one was "Gran Torino"...but I'm glad I saw this one.
When watching westerns there are 3 actors by whom I judge all others: John Wayne, Robert Duvall and Clint Eastwood. After this movie I may have to add Jeff Bridges to the list. And the young girl that played Mattie did a fine job, too.
The modern touches, such as very slightly more graphic realism (gunshot wounds, etc...) were an improvement. That's not to say there was a lot of blood and gore. There wasn't. Just a little more realism. And the sounds were a tremendous improvement over the original. The scenery and cinematography were good, but I'd say no better than the original. Guns seemed to be very realistic.
All in all, I was pleased and enjoyed the movie. It's probably one I'll get on DVD...as a matter of fact, I'll probably get both the new and the original.
I'd give it two thumbs up. And for those like me who hate going to theaters, it's worth it...unless you have a really superb home theater system you'll miss out. It was meant to be seen on the big screen.
Lucky Number Sleven was great.

Well put. I saw it yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Mattie character had me rollin'. I cannot compare it to the original because I have never seen it. I'll remedy that soon.
As far as Guy Ritchie goes I'm still partial to Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels as his best.

ok so earlier today I watched the original True Grit for the first time. It was ok, but I'm immune to all the nostalgia that folks who saw it as a kid feel.
It's funny that the duke hated the girl that played mattie.
Tonight I watched lucky number slevin again. (because of it's mention here) I like it. Good plot twist crime caper flick.
Tonight we are gona watch Dinner with Schmucks. Anyone see it yet?
I watched dinner for schmucks last night.
didn't like it much. mildly funny in a couple of places, but for the most part frustrating how weak and stupid the lead character is.

Watched Legendary (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1563704/)last night.
Better than I thought it would be, actually.

I liked it, wasn't my favorite, but ok funny. However I will agree with you about how frustrating it was to watch the main character be so pathetic.
Watched The Godfather last night.
Leave the gun, take the cannoli.
Where the hell is Jake? I hope he hasn't left us forever.
Watched Hellride last night. Fun movie! Good remake of the '70s motorcycle genre.

Watched Case 39 also. Or should I say fast forwarded through it. Don't waste your time. I have seen/read this same story somewhere else.
We watched The Town tonight. There were a few Hollywood parts, but it was an okay movie. My issue was that the sound was terrible and there were a few scenes that just abruptly switched to the next scene. It was like the production was done by some first year film student. I don't know if it was because we rented it from Comcast or what, but we got Inception from Comcast and it wasn't as bad.
The Town was an ok movie, the ending was a little to be desired though.
We also watched the movie with the owl's. It was like a bird version of lord of the rings kinda.

I just watched The Other Guys with Will Ferrel and Mark Wahlberg. I liked it. I'm glad that Ferrel didn't do his stupid single-character-across-many-roles thing, repeating his jokes and such. I thought the part where the two cops chased the guys right off the roof was freaking hilarious.
watched Marley and Me. pretty boring, responsible pet owners don't make for good cinema.
watched the sequel to Nanny McPhee. I liked the first one, the sequel was gawdawful horrible.
Just watched the original True Grit. Now I want to go to Ouray.
We got Netflix tonight and I browsed through the last couple pages to get some ideas. We watched Guillermo Del Toro's "The Orphanage" and I thought it was a 4-5 star film. It scared the bejesus out of me and was over all pretty good. Very highly recommended.
Saw the 2010 True Grit, great western. In my top five favorite westerns.

Stumbled on http://www.redbaron-themovie.com/index_en.html at Blockbuster. Probably straight to dvd in U.S.. Not bad personal perspective, focused on the character. Didn't spend too much on crazy bi/tri plane CGI action scenes.
Finished The Pacific series.... phenomenal!
just watched Hot Fuzz, that move was friggen stupid... [ROFL1]

I saw parts of Spread with Ashton Kutcher, and I rather liked it. Good ending.
I've been watching The Ten on Netflix. It is a deal where some popular actors act out the 10 commandments. Basically just ridiculous situations. Not a real strong tie to the 10 Commandments from what I've seen so far. Just silly and funny.
