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.

I would rent Let the Right One in, but I want the original subtitles not the reeruned dumbed down ones they released.

Anyone know how to verify?

Thanks guys, i'll take yours and reapers advice!

Suprisingly it is available right now in bluray with no wait, sweet! It's also available on INSTANT, incase it doesn't come in the next few days!

I would really like to see it again with the correct ones but have no idea how to find a copy. I would guess that pretty much all of the copies available for rent will have the ****ed up subs since the companies renting the discs would have bought them at release. I think the back of the box will state something like "theatrical subtitles" if it is the corrected edition.

I watched The Spirit, from the creator of Sin City and 300. Both of those movies i liked, especially Sin City. It has several name actors in it this, Samuel Jackson, Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson.

I was somewhat disappointed in the movie. It had way more potential, but poorly directed. As expected there are many cool effects. If you like the green screen visual effects movies, then check it out.

But the story just falls short, maybe flat. Which the story line is what i look for as the top in any movie. I had high hopes, sadly it fell short.

I still hope they keep making these type of movies though.

Sure-Oz · 04-21-2009, 08:01 AM

I have doubt, frost/nixon, and the spirit heading my way from netflix....

anyone seen any of these?

I heard it was average at best, but i liked Sin City and was curious how this movie was...hopefully it will look cool on bluray i guess

I knew there was a controversy about making changes to the subs, but I didn't know they totally butchered them.

Wow, that kinda sucks, totally different line. Why would they do that?

Supposedly they wanted to do a more literal translation. How hard would it have been to just include both?

I agree, they could've had both...don't screw with the originals/starwars fanboys

it's true i guess!

Doubt was really good. It took me watching Frost/Nixon to realize it, interestingly enough. Incidentally, Frost/Nixon was really, really good. I loved it.
