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.

Just finished watching this. It's bizarre... and powerful. I loved it.

I want to drag whoever approved that script to Hell.

What...a...waste...of my ****ing time.

Dane, why do so many movies suck and what do you plan to do about it?

If you knew nothing going into it... and only knew it was a Star Trek reboot, with that cast... you'd expect it to suck.

It was surprisingly good.

What a great trailer. The music gets me.

Was the music that good in the movie? The director composed the score...

Cant give enough praise for this nice indie flick: "The Rage in Placid Lake".

Excellent indie flick. Clever dialogue, nice performances by all actors. Loved it!

Well, I'd think so. Another Star Trek movie? With Silar as Spock, Harold as Sulu, and Shaun (of the Dead) as Scotty?

I dunno... at first glance, a guy might expect an epic fail. But in hindsight, it was perfect casting.

I'll give you Scotty, but Silar as Spock was perfect and everyone knew it. Harold was kinda in the middle.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 11-26-2009, 08:33 PM

Bones was the shit.

Perfect. With TWO "R's".

Yeah, the music sets the mood and it's great throughout.

1,2,3,4... (Love the pathfinder)

Well in any case... they all did a damned fine job, and made a good movie. So, it's a moot point.

Pretty standard and by the book but decent I guess...found it somewhat interesting.

LOL it comes with its own built in drinking game based on how many times Travolta says "mother****er"...he looked like he enjoyed himself.

On the other hand it looked like Denzel phoned it in and was there simply for a check.

Getting ready to watch this. I have GI Joe and this left. Trying to decide which one to put in tonight, and which one to watch tomorrow.

Watched the new Transformers last night. I heard a lot of bad things about it, but I liked it.
