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.

The Blind Side was solid...nothing ground breaking but i enjoyed the movie.

Maybe you'll get farther than i did....i heard it was hilarious but for some reason i thought i was wasting my time. I thought Borat was funnier, this movie just made me feel stupid through 30 min, the dicks didnt help

Just saw a commercial for Johnny Depp's 'Public Enemies'...anyone know if it's worth renting or not?

When everyone at the bar turned in to a vampire, that's when I said, "well, game over".

And the ending was about as anti-climactic as old-school, HBO softcore.

I haven't seen it yet but it's Michal Mann so I am definitely looking forward to it.

I watch Funny People yesterday.... it was a lot darker than I expected, and I thought it was pretty damn good. Was a little long though, seemed to drag. Although, I did watch the extended DVD cut, so I'm not sure if the theatrical version drug as much.

I watched it last week and thought pretty much the same thing.

It was solid. I still don't think Depp was the best choice to play Dillinger but he did a good job. Definitely worth a rental if you haven't seen it. I may even buy it.

Just watched it on Blu-Ray the other night. It sold me on Blu-Ray, heh.

Watched this last night. Dare I say that the Nicolas Cage that I used to know and love is back? This is the first Nic Cage performance I think I've enjoyed in quite a while. Somewhat reminiscent of Leaving Las Vegas, as far as his performance goes. The film itself was rather good as well. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it. I've seen others compare it to Harvey Keitel's "Bad Lieutenant", though I cannot verify this as I've not seen the movie with Keitel. At the same time though I've heard others say this version is extremely different and in fact more loosely based on the one with Keitel rather than entirely based on it. Either way I enjoyed this one and Nic Cage is primarily the reason why. Judge for yourself I guess.

It had a gorgeous transfer and sound for sure

KCChiefsMan · 12-02-2009, 09:40 PM

well I watched Terminator Salvation, everybody said it was going to suck and maybe that lowered my expectations, but I liked it. It wasn't James Cameron good, but it was good. Although, I didn't care much for the ending because that probably would not end well. But other than that, I thought it was a nice addition to one of my favorite movie series. I am a big fan of the Terminator series btw, so maybe I was being homeristic. But 3.5 stars out of 5.

You have no credibility here.

Wanna watch Dick Tracy?
