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.

Robin Hood with Russell Crowe.......long and really dragged.

Oh I agree. I meant it as his two directorial films already trump the acting side of his career. It's not close.

Yes, it did. I'm wondering if it's another Kingdom of Heaven where the directors cut is better.

As is, it sucked.

Yes, he's a much better director. I liked it, aside from some small nit picky stuff, it was very enjoyable.

I'm in the minority, I know, but I loved the flick. I don't think it was a matter of low expectations (which I had), but I genuinely enjoyed it. I thought about the movie for a week after, that rarely happens with me. I think it has the most to do with Cate Blanchet's performance, but I thought it was well done.

My buddy bought the BR hopefully he got the director's cut.

Are you trying to post a picture?

If so, we do that because there have been a history of trolls creating an account and posting gay porn. If they have to post 300 times, we have a better chance of detecting them.

The Town was really good. Ben is a director. He should stick with that. The car chases were superbly shot, edited, and polished. Best chase scenes since Bourne series and perhaps even better.

Not just the car chases, but the foot chase in the parking lot with the scramble around the car! Incredible shooting and editing.

I really liked the whole movie, but that pursuit nearly made me stand up and applaud like I did the first time I saw Clarice in the basement of Jame Gumb's house.

I saw it over the weekend. A little slow in the buildup, but nice images and a good story. It's what Twilight should have been.

The Chiefs Dude · 09-29-2010, 07:32 AM

Anybody seeing the remake of Let The Right One In, Let Me In? I don't think It'll live up to the original, but I'll give it a chance.

**noa** · 09-29-2010, 11:07 AM

Just saw The Town last night. Thought it was a very good movie, despite the fact that many elements of the storyline are familiar, if not downright cliche.

But the story was told in a compelling way, the directing was good, the acting was good. I think Jeremy Renner stood out the most for me. Guy is an outstanding actor. And Chris Cooper was only in the movie for a hot second, but he was great in his role. Overall, big tip of the hat to Affleck for the casting and directing.
