    Inception without a doubt. But seriously, the totem dropped, stop it.

    I saw the Social Network and I must be in the minority of this, but I thought a lot of it was not as great as it is being made out to be While the story of how facebook was created is somewhat interesting, Zuckerberg's character was very unlikeable and Zuckerberg himself is rather uninteresting.

    An underrated movie I saw was RED, which starred Bruce Willis and John Mahkolvich as retired CIA guys being chased around the country by the feds.

    totally agree with animal kingdom.. a mongrel of a film.

    the town.. except for the hollywood ending.

    the social network

    easy A. just smart writing.

    i saw fair game and thought it was ok. sean penn is always great to watch. something seemed missing.

    Not suggesting this should be on the list. But I saw Little Fockers today and I enjoyed it. Much better than I thought it would be...


    Due Date was funny, again not on this list.

    I have not seen as much as I usually do because i've not been blown away by much. I've also not gotten down to my indie movie theatre as much that usually shows some of the smaller films of what i've seen so far:

    Inception
    The Fighter
    Black Swan
    Iron Man 2
    True Grit

    And that is not saying much because the only two that really stand our are Inception and The Fighter. I liked Black Swan a good bit but saw some things that keep me from saying it was fantastic. Iron Man 2 for me was just fun. True Grit was nothign special but was well done.

    Movies i have nto seen that I might check out are
    The Kings Speech
    Winters Bone
    The Social Network ( everyone raves about this but I had no interest to see it :( )
    127 hours

    I saw The Town and I thought it was a good movie but nothing to scream about.

    I love Ben Stiller.

    Always have, always will. And his father. In king of queens when he played arthur was priceless.

    i'm not a big movie watcher but The Town was exceptional....just watched it the other day
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I see so many movies, it's hard to keep track of what I've seen. Some favorites as of late:

    Harry Potter
    Despicable Me
    The Town

    And going to see Little Fockers probably tomorrow afternoon before the FSU bowl game - Go Noles!

    Didn't like Shutter Island at all - way too predictable. Haven't seen Inception yet - have it DL, just haven't taken the plunge yet


    Not recently, but Grown Ups was funny as hell, too
