    I watched "Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles" last night. Really good stuff!

    I went to see Snow White and the Huntsmen.... I enjoyed it :)

    The movie was initially rated R but changed to PG 13 - not sure what was done in order to go to a PG rating.

    a story about how life as a child is not easy and how a little love and little support is all kids really need ... not sure how this will play out for non wes anderson folks as it is shot, written and scored like most of his movies ... this film has a lot of heart ... but like most of wes anderson's films - it's in the subtleties ...

    So my buddy went to work today only to find out that they are shooting "Iron Man 3" where he works. Gwenyth was in the house.

    I thought it was ok, went with about 5 other friends. They all hated it though. I thought it dragged on at certain spots.

    ya ... saw this last nite ... it seemed to falter where most hollywood movies falter these days ... too many cooks in the kitchen ... it's like there was a bunch of people involved and they all wanted certain things in the movie and there was no clear vision ... nothing made sense and it got stupider by the minute ...

    I forgot to mention that 'Che' - Part 1 is really good. Benicio Del Toro does a fucking good job of playing Guevara. It's a long film but it seemed to go by in a flash, which is always a good sign.

    Not seen 'Che' yet, but did see 'The MotoryCycle Diaries' which I thought was really good, I enjoyed it a great deal.

    Probably handed a pile of cash to the clowns at the MPAA. It would have hurt their target audience if they got an R rating

    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    Watched "Paul" this morning. Really enjoyed it. It was a different kind of comedy for me but really liked it. That's 4 movies I've seen this week...so far. I have "Rebel Without a Cause" and "The Tree of Life" on the DVR.

    Saw Moonrise Kingdom this week.Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums,The Darjeeling Limited,Fantastic Mr Fox,The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou)

    Gorgeous film set in 1965 coming of age/never quite fitting in journey of boy scout Sam and storyteller Suzy falling in love and running away,well to the other side of the 16ft Island they live on :D

    I was on the journey with them and I didn't want it to end.Funny,thought provoking,quirky and beautifully shot and Billy Murray as Suzy's dad :thumbup:

    I caught Prometheus this afternoon. It wasn't as intense and psychological as I'd been hoping for, however it still held its own. I'd give it an 8.5/10 (rounded to nine on imdb). There were a few plot holes, and at parts the dialogue could have used a rewrite, but it was a fun ride. I'm sure I'll catch it again next week and get a better feel for the film, but for now the ranking stands.

    On a side more I'm watching Alien right now.
