I made it through Bad Teacher... barely. Cameron Diaz's character (the protagonist) is just a horrible person (and not in a fun way, like in "Bad Santa") Jason Segel is good, but it's all ruined when that horrible bitch wins in the end (and basically isn't redeemed in any way... other than not buying her fake tits.) Sorry 'bout the spoilers, but you don't wanna see this anyway.

Shitty movie about shitty people.

I've heard nothing but good things about Warrior.... looking forward to seeing that.

Saw Warrior last night and it lived up to the hype. Very good movie. Definitely recommend it. The MMA generation's "Rocky".

Really enjoyed Warrior as well. It is loaded with sport movie cliches but still manages to work.

Drive - 4/5. If you've ever seen a Nicolas Winding Refn film, then you know what to expect. Beautifully shot, eerily quiet, and almost ponderously slow scenes that make the jarring, graphic violence that much more impacting. Also, this features some nifty synth-laden 80's-esque music that gives the soundtrack a very retro vibe. I'd say this is worth your money.

I rented "Thor" from Red Box this week. It was worth a dollar. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in a theater, but it was an enjoyable (yet predictable) rent.

Saw Straw Dogs with the wife tonight. Predictable.....yet enjoyable. They could have cut about 30 minutes off the beginning though. They spent entirely to long setting shit up.

The original is freakin' brilliant.

Nothing new here.

Piranha - Pure awesomeness, although I'd of rather seen the piranhas eat off Gianna Michaels love handles and face, but the mass killing scene in the lake was some of the best movie making I've ever seen outside of Schindler's List.

Unstoppable - Decently entertaining. They did a good job of mitigating Denzel.

Watched this last night - I really, really enjoyed it but if there's one negative thing to say, it's about the soundtrack -- I love synth pop but it really felt out of place, IMO
I'm with you on 4/5

Been wanting to see it.
