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.

Is Robin Williams in that?

I watched Legion for the first time the other day. Didn't like it.

Legion was awful. I went in expecting bad and it didn't live up.

Watched Le Gout Des Autres (The Taste of Others). I absolutely loved it.

I watched Un Prophet last night. I liked it a lot. Longer than I thought it would be, but I really liked it. I expected the end to be different. I thought it was cool to see that the music they used was English speaking, I think all American.

It's an Argentinean movie. In Spanish, of course. However, if you are into a movie that truly lives up to its title, then you should check this one out.

Here are some general observations...
-Brilliant acting and directing.
-Sound track is sick and blends perfectly with every scene.
-The intense emotions between the protagonists, and how well they convey them is something I have rarely seen in any other movie.

Secret in Their Eyes was excellent.

Indeed it was. The last scene was very moving.

Man on Wire

Recent documentary that was awarded Best Doc. feature by the Academy a year or two ago, I'm not sure I can go so far as to give it that kind of praise. The subject, a risky acrobatic stunt across the WTC towers, is treated all very too seriously. One might think it's actually a movie about terrorists bombing the towers. When one accomplice breaks down at the memory not once, but twice, you get the feeling that either 1) this man was madly in love with the walker or 2) has an awkwardly distorted perspective on life. The day-of scenes and 'flashbacks' and re-creations mesh well enough to hold interest, and the use of classical music, especially at the climax of film, the walk, with Satie, is great.

Actually, yes. Well, I say yes, which means most people in here would say no.

I like Cera's movies. Nothing great, but they are entertaining.

I think those who have seen it would actually agree with you.

I love that movie.
