Kick Ass! Don't think I caught nearly as many references as I should have, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Loved Hit Girl.

Just finished Greenberg. Great film, probably the best I've seen Ben Stiller do. Anyone see it?
The Rules
Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
Saw Scott Pilgrim yesterday. It was bizarre. I kinda liked it.
Dinner for Schmucks; it was funny and the standard moralistic message wasn't so strong that it destroyed the funny ideas. Not the best comedy ever made, but it got some laughs out of me all through the movie. And to be honest, I found the mice pretty awesome
Congratulations America
Zombieland, had a few laughs.
Such is Life...
Vampires suck, only funny if you know the Twilight movies. The SO didn't find it funny at all, it got some laughs out of me.
Congratulations America
Zombieland is great!
I gave up on the spoof movies after Epic Movie, but Vampires Suck might drag me back.
Don't do it! It's by the same people. It's just more stupid crap, and it's getting the same abysmal reviews.
Had a martin scorsese marathon (or deniro marathon, I suppose): taxi driver, raging bull and casino. All excellentThen we watched the Godzilla all out monster attack movie (Godzilla fighting three other monsters and the army). It was pretty hilarious in its crappiness!
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
After Life, a bit sluggish and it tries a bit too hard to keep people asking even if it's already clear what is actually happening.
Congratulations America
Kick-Ass with the rest of the family. First thing Brandy mentioned (besides snickering at the hit and run), was Hit Girl saying cunt.
Also watched She's Out of My League. Way, way, to many parallels to my previous relationships.
Got Shutter Island and No Country for Old Men at home, and I'm still waiting on The Crazies, Moon, and Gamer.
Not really today, but this week I saw Grown Ups, what a bucket full of drivel.
Congratulations America
I thought it was funny.
La Rafle, well made, but not superb story of the first razzia in Paris July 16th, 1942 and its aftermath. What I found most interesting was how this French movie didn't really bother to play down French complicity.
Congratulations America
Creepy movie. Quite good, kept me entertained.Originally Posted by Ominous Gamer

Saw Terminator Salvation for the 2nd time last night. Not bad, nice CGI. Quite a few moments of 'ZIF !'. Disbelief not quite suspended adequately.

Also watched ol' Thelma & Louise for the first time in what must be over a decade. Brad Pitt!so young and scrawny.
Still a good movie.
I went to a movie festival, to watch the short movie by young people contest. Saw 17 movies that were max 10 minutes, some were good, some were bad, and only one was so bad it made me laugh. A friend of mine also had a movie playing
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
I watched Sleep Dealer the other day. I wasn't too fond of the ending but it was a good movie. The cover doesn't do the film justice though, it makes it look like some crappy sci-fi.
Wanted. Another example of nuking the fridge, the first 5 minutes included some cool shit that never reappeared in the movie.
Even accepting the idea that "fate" sends us a hit list via a loom and the super abilities of the characters, the movie had plot holes larger than Lara Croft's tits. Including the concept of manufacturing names, and the idea of names of certain people appearing because of the actions of others, especially Sloan.
Yet it was still a fun movie to watch, and I would definitely watch another movie that had those kind of bullet designs and effects.
The American, interesting to see how Clooney is moving out of the mainstream into the arthouse genre. A movie in which hardly anything happens or is explained and with the lead being an even more awkward character than the role he played in 'Up in the air'. Beautiful every moment that it lasts, but slower paced than a movie should be. My company got bored by its lack of developement.
Congratulations America
Date Night.
It was a mess of acting and lines, but that didn't stop it from being funny as hell. Especially with the cub driver.
That's the one by Corbijn, right? I've been planning to see that one.
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
yesterday, i have both Devil and The Town, sloid movies and action packed.
Night before last I watched The Road. Very well done film, but what a fucking downer.
BTW --- It totally illustrates my post-apolcalyptic speculations about cannibalism, however. What happened to that thread anyway.... hmmm....

Just start a new one, threads are a renewable resource
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Its realism and it doesn't sugar coat it. Especially the endNight before last I watched The Road. Very well done film, but what a fucking downer.Spoiler:

It was eaten by other threads....

Misery. Great movie, but now I can't fall asleep. Should never start a movie at 1am.....
Loved the book.
Such is Life...
Great movie. I'd kind of forgotten how great, actually. It reminds me of an Alfred Hitchcock. Careful orchestration of shadows, not just in the scenery but on the actors' faces. And innuendo. My kid had sworn the hobbling scene was shown graphically, the first time he saw it, because it had such an emotional impact. The second time he watched the movie he was like "oh wow, they never really showed it, I just saw it in my mind......"
That's some powerful stuff, when you think you saw something but didn't.
Watched Alfie & Casablanca. First one was okay, second one was great!
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
