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's different when you're not expecting it.

I saw Adventureland. It's more dramatic than you'd think. The lead was doing a Michael Cera impression. Not hilarious, but not annoying and stupid either. Soundtrack features "Dance Hall Days" so that's a plus.

Watched Seven Pounds and Slumdog Millionare last night. Impressed by both, esp slumdog....

def. worth a rent on both, seven pounds took a bit of time to get started.

Also watched Pride and Glory, and wasn't a bad rent but wait for it on hbo

Just seen the Mike Tyson Documentary through his point of view. It was great. I highly recommend it for anyone. Its good stuff.

I'm in the mood to check something out at a theater, and there isn't anything that catches my eye. This sucks.

I'm pretty interested in Adventureland. Might not be theater-worthy, but read some reviews...

Sounds pretty cool.

Just watched Slumdog Millionaire.

It deserves the hype. Pretty moving flick.

I didn't think it lived up to the hype. I thought it was quite good, but I watched it back to back with Milk, and my wife and I both though Milk was significantly better.

I give SM the edge. I liked Milk's performances but I thought the story was ho-hum. (Yes, I know it's true. Blah, blah.)

Yeah, it was between that and 12 Rounds. Both brought forth a hearty "Meh" in response.

Checked out Lakeview Terrace and Body of Lies the other night...enjoyed both, esp. Body of Lies.

Crazy Samuel L. is always good though so I wasn't disappointed with Lakeview Terrace either, interesting premise to boot. The ending was weak though.

I finally got to see The Boy in the Striped Pajamas about a week ago. Even better than I expected. Excellent movie.

The new one with Russell Crow looks good. Or are you more the Hannah Montana type? I heard it was #1 this weekend.

Just finished watching Slumdog Millionare. Highly recommended. Great flick.
