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 almost like it was an episode from a 5 part mini-series. It felt like it was missing a ton of story.

I think I just need to start watching everything you guys think sucks, because I'll probably enjoy it.

Any thoughts on The Hangover before I put it in?

First 30 minutes funny, then it mellows out and gets a bit stale.

I'm also pretty easy to please.

Fwiw, I don't think many disliked Avatar... they're just saying the story's been done before. (over and over) But that's not really it's selling point anyway.

As for The Hangover... it's pretty damned funny. Not quite as good as the hype, IMO... but well worth a watch.

You haven't lived until you've seen Doogie Howser snort a line off a stripper's ass through a car's sunroof.

I liked Harold and Kumar better than this. It was alright, but not nearly as funny as I thought it would be.

As the winter is arriving so in this article we are discussing some of the significant and prominent nails care tips for women and girls.
With the opening of our Studio Be Pilates Annex coming soon, and the launch of our bar method classes, I think it’s time for a little history lesson on The Bar Method. The p90x schedule below could be the identical plan you get when you buy p90X. To help you change the work-outs for the level of fitness nevertheless, the exercise is Extreme.

It's funny but in reality it's a better produced and written Dude, Where's my Car.

Did you see 500 days of summer yet

I watched Paranormal Activity:

Bigtime MEH! I think my reaction was a result of overhyped expectation. I'd heard how ****ing scary it was... and don't watch this alone... you won't sleep... it will turn you back to Christianity.... it just wasn't that scary. I appreciate the project itself, but the scare factor was overall pretty low.

I also watched Let the Right One In (my wife was thrilled about my movie selections this weekend). I dug this movie. Original vampire flick with an exceptional setting.

Food Inc: watched this on Sunday (we got snowed in, so I watched a lot of movies). It was okay and important. I've read about every "important" book on this subject and my wife has been subjected to my rants about it for years.... so it wasn't really anything new for either one of us. My Joel Salatin mancrush continues to grow, though.
