Movies

Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

- Amen! Finally a movie named appropriately in Hollywood! It would be so much easier if they did this with every movie, like So-So, or Don't Waste Your Money, or Bring an extra pair of pants (cause you're going to wet yourself laughing). It would make things SOOO much easier!

Is that a complaint?

I think I liked Hanna more than you did, but as someone who generally waits to see movies on DVD, this one won't lose much in the transition to the little screen. I particularly liked the music used in this movie. The driving electronic beats of the Chemical Brothers helped increase the tension on the chase scenes.

Friend bought The King's Speech, so I went over to watch it last night. Great movie. MUCH better than I thought it was going to be.

Saw it on Friday. Hilarious low budget flick...laughed all the way through. Lots of subtle jokes to go along with the obvious ones (BrownStar Insurance! ).

Ed Helms played his part perfectly, and everything out of John C. Reilly's mouth was gold. Anne Heche surprisingly wasn't annoying either.

My favorite though, by far, was Isiah Whitlock Jr. Loved his role as the "proper" black gentleman and his references to "The Wire".

If you get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it!

That looks awesome. I gotta see it.

Watched 'Public Speaking' felt like I was spying on an alien planet. Have no ill will towards Ms Lebowitz, but am genuinely confounded as to how she has eked out an existence, let alone a level of fame, with so many fascinated by and admiring of her.

She speaks with conviction, but doesn't say much of anything, and most of what she does say takes the form of veiled faux contrarian platitude.

"I am always right because I'm never fair."

Sounds deep, means ****all.

And for those of you boning up for the SATs, Dorothy Parker:Fran Lebowitz as Paris Hilton:

The answer is C: Rebecca Black.

Finally watched Dead Alive, the Peter Jackson movie. Seriously the bloodiest movie I've ever seen. More bloody than Kill Bill part I. It was pretty kick ass though. I loved the lawn mower scene.

Yeah, caught that on the morning news, terrible. Restrepo was outstanding.

I'm gonna watch 'Che' tonight, anyone seen it yet? thoughts?

I'm assuming it'll be good, directed by Steven Soderberg(sp) & starring Benicio del Toro, but whats weird is that i cant recall seeing even one preview for it on tv or in any local theater, it just suddenly appeared on dvd.

I haven't seen it but I notice when they run it on IFC it's two separate movies, part 1 and 2. I don't know how long it is, but it must be long.

Yeah, its 2 flics that each run over 2 hours. The first one is described as solely dealing with the Cuban revolution & the other is more of an action pic thats all about Che.
