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.

It has more merit being a Best Picture contender than Avatar. Avatar can nab every nomination in the technical field but Best Picture? No ****ing way.

I'm with you there. Up In the Air is a fine candidate.

I finally watched (500) Days of Summer a couple nights ago. It lived up to the hype.

First person like Cloverfield. Is it a zombie, is it a zombie like virus? Who knows, but decent if you're looking to kill an hour and twenty minutes.

I'm watching that seminal masterpiece of 90's cinema -- Space Jam. It contains the worst officiated game of basketball ever. I've heard of the refs "letting the guys play" but this is ridiculous.

Watched it today and definetly lived up to the hype. One of the better movies ive seen in quite some time. I may buy it when the price goes down.

I'll say what I previously said about (500) Days of Summer: more like (500) Things Ripped Off from the hit CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother."

I was just irritated that he never got to give his miles to his sister and her new husband. I'm okay with the ending, other than that. Maybe I should assume he completed the good deed later?
