I saw This is 40 recently, and liked it too. I just watched Gangs of New York last night. Badass movie. Not sure how I managed to miss it for so long.
Anyone watch hangover 3 yet
Watched the Pines last week-not what I expected-not too bad a movie.Quote:

Lincoln was okay. Daniel Day Lewis did his usual superb job. Someone didn't watch the Ken Burns documentary. There was more to the Civil War than slavery.
Jack Reacher was usual Tom Cruise far. A sock puppet could have done a better job. Werner Herog played a decent villain but all I could think about was him narrating Cave of Forgotten Dreams after he opened his mouth. Robert Duvall stole the show, as usual.
Going back in time, The World's Fastest Indian still rocks.
For those who have not seen or watched it in a long time, I suggest DAS BOOT German version anglish sub titles. A post from last month mentioning a polish movie with sub titles turned a (smalll) light on in the brain cavity and figured i remind folks of another Great WWII flick
We're deciding on I-3 or Star Trek for a matinee monday. Probably see I-3 as it has been out a few weeks.
Today...
Road House.
Quite possibly the most underrated movie I've ever seen.Quote:

Behind the Candelabra was ok. Damon was meh... Damon.. only more gay than usual. Douglas was as usual, great. I caught one I'd missed until last night, End of Watch. Fantastic film. +1 for World's Fastest Indian. Easily my favorite motorcycle movie.
My friends are all fired... I just watched Wall-E this weekend for the first time, really good movie- nevermind the environmentalist preaching, it was a very well made movie with a great story.
In other news- finally got done with Season 5 of The X-Files (finally seeing all the episodes in the mythology arc), now to watch the first movie tonight and actually understand what's going on (for the first time with all the holes filled). [Beer]
Concur with Wall-E. Good flick, but yeah.. the whole enviro thing bugged me a little.
I am SO looking forward to this one.

What is it about an older woman all dolled up with a big handgun that gets me going....
Is there a red1 ?
Yes, it was called, "Red."Quote:

What I thought was admirable was that that they portrayed Arnold as an "old" Sheriff instead of pretending he's a young Terminator-style guy still. Kind of like Tommy Lee Jones in "no Country for Old Men", except that was a WAAAAAAAAY better movie.
LMFAOQuote:

Just watched 'Dr. Horrible's sing along blog'... This is a geek's wet dream.
It's from the whedon's who brought us firefly and serenity.
Geeks and nerds might recognize more people than the average person.
It's on Netflix

I have the original sitting here in front of me.. Never seen it. Guess I should. Just finished "The Girl who kicked the hornet's Nest", Swedish 2nd film after the original Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. Decent film but the first was better.
...like Angie Dickenson in Big Bad Mama... she was hot!Quote:

God man, get yourself to Walmart or wherever you procure movies and get a copy ... hands down one of the best action comedies of the last decade.Quote:

Great film! I was surprised at how many people came to this movie for a Friday afternoon matinee, as it's been out for a couple of weeks.
They put the "fun" in dysfunctional, don't they.Quote:

I saw the new film, "Now You See Me." (about the magicians.)
pretty entertaining. Great twist at the end.
Just saw After Earth. Nothing special
Watched "Jack the Giant Slayer" last night-kinda fun movie.
Sounds like the Jerry Reed song...When You're Hot, You're HotQuote:

Makes you really hate those "Vatos" huh?Quote:

And yet love Tre, the drug dealing two time felon gang banger. What an odd movie.Quote:
