Appoloosa - Good slow and steady Western film. I really enjoyed the acting, pacing and ending.
Blood Diamond - Excellent film. Leonardo Dicaprio is outstanding in this film, as is Djimon Hounsou.
Chaneling - Angelina Jolie is outstanding in this film. She portrays a woman who's son goes missing and the police give her back the wrong boy.
Curious Case of Benjamin Button - I loved this film. Beautiful to watch, great acting and dialogue. I want to watch it again.
Day the Earth Stood Still - I felt this was a film I could watch and clean the house at the same time.
House Bunny - This movie was much better than I anticipated Anna Faris is hilarious in this film. I adore her!
Marley & Me - This movie was too middle-aged, middle-crisis cheesy for me. I kept flipping away from it on the airplane.
Wanted - Fun action-packed movie. Light-hearted, but entertaining to watch.
Yes Man - I was not expecting much from this movie, but I really enjoyed it and laughed a lot.

Fri, April 10, 2009 - 6:14 PMCloverfield. It was okay.
Clockstoppers - A kids movie. It was okay. Not all that good.
Doomsday - Perty cool. Like a combo of Road Warrior, Escape From New York, Resident Evil, and a few other movies. Not the best movie ever. But I did like it. Hardcore violence. If I had young kids I wouldnt want them to see it.

Sat, April 11, 2009 - 1:26 AMBody of Lies - another good Leonardi di Caprio film also starring George Clooney, about the war of terror
Eagle Eye - a bit unbelievable, but some fun action and decent political thrill-ride, and some food for thought on "is technology worth losing our humanity?"
Into the Wild - just so good
Knocked Up - cheesy RoCo that did make me laugh
The Omega Man - finally got around to watching it after I learned here that I Am Legend was based on it. "You damned dirty occultists!"
Role Models - two guys get in trouble and to stay out of jail they big brother a couple of kids which proves to be a big challenge. Many, many laughs.
The Promotion - comedy about two guys vying for a promotion to manager at a new supermarket that is opening up, reminded me a bit of Office Space, if you're sick of work this might be your cupati
Quantum of Solace - James Bond's latest, I miss Roger Moore and Sean Connery, but it was still entertaining
Sex Drive - "fucking" hilarious
Kn0w1ng - disaster flick combining some hard to believe elements
W. - good for realizing I'm glad to have made it out alive, much funnier than I expected. "We can't let these Ayatollah Cockamamies boss us around!"
21 - alright film about a cool gambling story, decent twist if you don't already know the story -

Re: Recently Viewed
Sat, April 11, 2009 - 7:41 AMFor the sake of accuracy both The Omega Man, I am Legend and The Last Man on Earth (starring Vincent Price!) are all based on the same story "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson most notably a tele-writer. He also wrote the story and screenplay for The Incredible Shrinking Man.

Re: Recently Viewed
Sat, May 2, 2009 - 9:37 AMIt's not a movie. But I just finished watching Season 1 of Dexter and starting Season 2 today. I also have two other movies here that were recommended on this tribe. Dark City and The City of Lost Children. I started watching Dark City a few days ago. Only watched about five or ten minutes of it and decided to go to bed. It was late. It seemed kind of boring. But I'm going to watch it soon. Hope it's good. I watched The Bridge again last weekend with my friend. His partner saw the first few minutes and went to work in the yard after seeing the first jumper. D thought it was good though. I think I've watched it about five times now.

I'm going to just put it all out there. I watched Step-Brothers.
Knowing this would reach new lows in comedy, it was better and lower than expected.

When I decided to watch this crazy movie, I had no idea it was based on a true story.
It was more like, lets see what Mena Suvari is up to these days.
This movie is very disturbing, even for me, and that's saying something.
They took a lot of the facts.< www.foxnews.com/story/0,29...458,00.html > and completely changed the way it ended. [typical]

What a piece of crap this one was. The main dude was hella handsome though.
I saw one last night called Baby Mama. It was okay but kind of sucked too.
And I saw Stay. I loved it and there were a couple of parts I think may have gone over my head or something. I actually cried kind of intensely two or three times for some reason. Like when the son put his hands on his dads head and at the end when the blond was holding the guy on the street. Holy shitowski Batman!!! And Ewan McGregor was hot as hell. I want a haircut like that. Then we would look almost like twins. : ) -

Wed, May 27, 2009 - 9:59 AMFrozen River -- Outstanding. Highly recommended to fans of intelligent character studies a la Altman and Sayles.

Re: Stuck
Mon, October 5, 2009 - 8:23 AMrecently viewed (or viewed again) on cable:
"Super High Me" - Documentary starring comedian Doug Benson as he goes without smoking pot for 30 days, then smokes himself retarded for another 30. Predictable, but well-made. And Doug cracked my shit up much more often than I though he would.
"Good Will Hunting" - Like most movies broadcast on tv this lost a lot of its bite because of censoring &editing. Still a good movie though.
"Cold Turkey - I caught the last 3/4 of this classic last Friday afternoon. It's about a town who'll get a substantial (and much needed) cash reward if they can collectively quit smoking tobacco. Dick Van Dycke rocks this one. Being a 3 year recovering ex-smoker this movie was especially funnier this time around then the last time I saw it (I was a smoker then).
"The Longest Yard (remake)" - UNLIKE most movies broadcast on tv, this movie was HILARIOUS because of censoring & editing. Just hearing these hardened convicts say stuff like "Frooze you" and "muthalova", etc. I didn't think it was that bad (as remakes go).
"The Wedding Crashers" - Funny movie. I've never saw the unedited version, but I can imagine it's even funnier. Plus: Isla Fisher
Jackass 2.0 - This movie loses NONE of its charm due to censoring & editing for tv!
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Director's Cut) - Damn right 4 stars. Damn right (the ending gets cornier the older I get however). -

Tue, October 13, 2009 - 8:20 AM(on DVD)
Black Snake Moan
Cristina Ricci's part was smaller than Samuel L. Jackson's - I thought they'd have equal screentime - but she did a pretty good job of balancing sexy, scary, and pathetic.
Samuel is his usual intense self, although this time with a character that actually has some depth and nuances compared to some of his other work. Ultimately I ended up liking the character of Lazarus more than I thought I would.
Also throughout this film, Samuel L. reaffirms time & again his status as one of Hollywood's champion cussers. Man it sounds like poetry when he swears! Sublimely timeless...like he's been doing it since he was a toddler.
(Black Snake Moan is also available where all fine DVDs are sold/rented)

Fri, November 27, 2009 - 2:27 PMHorsemen- Dennis Quaid , Ziyi Zhang and the sexy Clifton Collins Jr. are in

of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse in the bible. If you're a fan of the movie
Se7en and the Saw movies you might be interested in checking this out.
Theres a cool little twist towards the end of the movie.
The King- AMAZING!! One of my favorites Gael Bernal is in this. A guy
gets discharged from the navy and goes to look for his birth father.
What he finds and does to his father's family is bananas. Quite the
psychological thiller.
