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.

In the time of chimpanzees Shark Night was a baboon. The creeps weren't creepy enough, the sluts weren't slutty enough, the jocks weren't douchey enough, and the cliches weren't cliche enough. Piranha made this steaming pile look like A Dolphin Tale. Major letdown.

That movie was absolutely terrible.

At least I only wasted a buck on it.

I actually liked Warrior, Tom Hardy is a badass and is gonna rock as Bane. The ending was cheesy though.

Carnage. A funny comedy about two families whose sons got into a fight. The two families met to discuss what happened. Two middle class NY families going at it for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Very, very funny scenes. Amazing cast

Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, John C Riely, and Christoper Waltz.

The Yellow Sea. A South Korean action movie. Just watch it.

John C Riely makes me laugh my ass off.

"Win, Win" was pretty great. I caught it on cable because Paul Giamattii was in it, and nothing else was on.

Turn out to be pretty damned good. Watch it, if you get a chance.

Any must watches on NetFlix?

I just finished Zombie Apocalypse with Ving Rhames -- not too bad.

Right now I'm about to watch the Langoliers.

nope, as a matter of fact I'm about to cancel netflix. They've doubled the price with no value to the customer to show for it.

how have they doubled in price? I'm no Netflix fanboi, but while the price did increase, it wasn't double.

IIRC, they raised prices 60 percent and forced you to go streaming OR dvd service. So if you wanted both, it went from $9 to $15 or something like that.

John Carter was enjoyable. I watched it with my 16 and 14 year olds. I found the 3D to be unobtrusive, in fact this is the first 3D movie I have seen that wasn't just blatantly horrible about that. I would have rather watched it w/o the 3D though. It wasn't necessary. I'll say that the movie isn't completely true to the source material, but it was true to the spirit of the books. If you want a decent family film to take your kids to, and they're too old for Lorax, I'd recommend it. My 14 year old son wants to read the books now and that's a great thing for a movie to do.

true, but it didn't double. And that extreme was only for those with 1 disc plans. Others were less severe.

That was probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Spoiler!
