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.

Hell of a movie to score your first time out, considering all the co-stars she has in it.

I thought the same thing. She did a great job and was easy on the eyes (her thighs will make your mouth water).

The only thing worse than the movie Abduction is the band Journey.

**Nzoner** · 01-23-2012, 04:58 PM

Watched 3 movies over the weekend

Super 8.....meh,definitely not for me.

Moneyball...Good movie although I think it's a little overhyped.

Warrior...Predictable yes but I loved it,one for the collection and watching again.

Went to Red Tails this last weekend.

Writing, storyline, and acting are over done a bit but the areial scenes are good.

**Nzoner** · 01-23-2012, 10:51 PM

Just finished watching Hachi about a man and his best friend.Two thumbs up just a great movie but fair warning if you love dogs prepare to get a lump in your throat.

**007** · 01-23-2012, 11:20 PM

Moneyball - Actually made me kind of care about baseball again. But I'm over it now.
Real Steel - much better than I expected though I would rather

Spoiler!

Friends with benefits - chick flick but Kunis made it bareable. No, that isn't a typo.

Fright Night - better than expected but I still prefer the campy original. Colin Farrel was a great vampire though.
The Debt - to be honest, it was good but got boring in parts. The story itself is very good.

Cool, can't wait to see this.

**007** · 01-23-2012, 11:50 PM

I don't know. The whole Bruce Willis inclusion seems off to me.

Welp, guess I don't need to see that movie any more.

**dannybcaitlyn** · 01-24-2012, 06:09 AM

Real steel was good. It was worth the buy to me. I will get tired of it soon though because my son loves it and has already watched it three times.

Very good movie.

I'm going to watch 1911 tonight, its about revolutionary China & stars Jackie Chan, i'm looking forward to see him doing something besides hamming for the camera & doing implausible stunts.

It looks like it'll be a meaty role for him & if the box isnt lying, very precise in its period depiction, 'no production expense spared'.

This looks better than the first, i'll pony up $9.

The scene on the cliff face is BOSS.

I've been meaning to give that a try, but I moved on from Jackie Chan when I saw Ip Man. ****ing great movie and a really nice sequel.
