saw:
The Runaways: renewed respect for joan jett; like Kristen Stewart but am quickly tiring of her blinking, frustrated, not-sure-if-I-should-speak, self-conscious acting style; dakota fanning was fabulous.
The Proposal: cute, watchable once.

netflix went down my list a little ways this week and sent me Piranha. Wow. that's about the only word I can think of to describe it. I enjoyed it because I like that kind of crap. My wife made it through the whole thing. I kept asking her why she just won't go to bed if she was supposedly hating it, but she kept saying it was like a train wreck and she couldn't look away I give this one a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

I was surprised by how much enjoyed this. I want to see it in 3D now though.

This weeks viewing...

"Biutiful" - Good but incredibly depressing and a bit overrated.
"Black Death" - AWWWWWWWFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLL!
"Casino Jack" - Pretty entertaining. As always, Spacey is good and Jon Lovitz finally finds a charecter in a feature film that suits him to a tee.

Anyone ever see this movie?


It was on Encore mystery so i watched part of it. Only caught the beginning and end. Besides Charlie Sheen, also stars Henry Rollins and also Anthony Kiedis and Flea have cameos. Wasn't good but the role fit him pretty good Also not bad soundtrack with Rollins Band, Offspring, NOFX, Bad Religion and Rancid :thumbup:

I saw it a long time ago...love that Rollins is in it...and it's always nice when Flea pops up in movies...

saw super 8 and bridesmaids on the weekend.

bridesmaids was funny, lot of swearing and a c-bomb if that sort of stuff offends you.

super 8 - meh, it would appear that J.J.Abrams guy can only make one movie, this was cloverfield set in the 70s, and there is a cloverfield sequel coming out soon too. he needs some new ideas.

The Rite. Good acting for a storyline that is usually overacted pretty frequently. Thought the main character is someone's brother on this board? Did I read that somewhere? Anyways, the whole exorcism thing gets done every now and then, but i thought this one was not overdone, and Hopkins was great as always.

Yep, Colin O'Donoghue is Irish Al's little bro

True Grit
Great movie, and I usually hate westers. Jeff Daniels was incredible, Matt Damon not so much. And too much killing of horses too. Recommended though, lots of funny moments, tear jerker at the end.

Saw "The Messenger" recently. It's definitely not a happy film, but the acting is excellent and it's a different side to the horrors of war that you typically don't see or think much about. P

Bad Teacher: B, good for a few laughs.
Super8: C+, was OK.. I expected more, but then again Spielberg and Abrams havent impressed me in a long time.

You mean Jeff Bridges, and yes he was really good. Matt Damon had a smaller role, but I didn't think he was bad. I recommend it too, but I didn't cry at the end - only E.T. can do that to me, still!

Going to watch Barneys Version tonight. Adore Paul Giamatti....so hopeful.

Super 8 a C+??? WOW! I would say at least a B+.

Guess you were saving your good grades for the Green Lantern

I'm actually looking forward to the new Transformers movie. I wasn't at first cuz i hated the second one, but this one looks promising.

haha, well, I actually liked Super8 quite a bit but thought it was just too slow to get going. And there was just something missing with developing the characters.

NO to Green Lantern. Absolutely not. :evil:

But, I hate to say that I was somewhat impressed by the trailer to Transformers 3 (just for the graphics and action).. of course, it was on an IMAX screen too.. :geek:

Super 8 was not good at all, it was pretty much cloverfield set in the late 70s early 80s. Same storyline almost, same deal with the slow reveal of what it actually was/looked like. only difference was it wasn't shot documentary style.

Plus we then have to sit through cloverfield 2 next year as well. The guy is a one trick pony.


Transformers 3 looks all explosions no story. But I guess if that's your sort of thing you'll love it.
