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.

Not sure if mentioned yet....but "Choke" was excellent. Very wicked....reminded me of "The Grifters" in how twisted it was....but probably a bit more 'dirty' than Grifters.

Yea this was a real good flick. I'll usually watching anything with Sam Rockwell in it though. He's usually gold. I still haven't gotten around to seeing Moon yet. Have heard it's tremendous though.

So I went to see a preview of Where the Wild Things Are this past Tuesday. Some movie reps handed out passes to a preview for a "new action adventure movie" I want to say they said it was for a 2010 summer release. The screening is tonight. Kinda excited and curious what movie I'll get to see. Probably be something crappy but it'll be free.

It came out last year. It's based on a Chuck Palahniuk novel. I read the novel a couple years ago. I really enjoyed the novel. Haven't seen the movie yet.

It's from the makers of Fight Club. Totally different kind of movie though.

Simply Red · 10-15-2009, 04:03 PM

I see.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 10-15-2009, 06:01 PM

That looks pretty cool actually.

Really good. I didn't read the book as a kid so I didn't have that nostalgic view of the story or book. Watching it though I felt Jonze and Eggers did a really good job at capturing the feel of the book.

If you were to take a kid I'd say 9-10+ years olds will enjoy what they see. I took a six year old he said he liked it. A lot of reviews have said it really captures what it's like to be 9 and I really think it did.

The Wild Things were simply amazing sooo glad they weren't just CGI'd in. OK the faces of the WT's were enhanced with CGI but it's not noticeable.

Also liked there were no jokes that will immediately date it. No fart jokes or stupid fast talking sidekicks added so kids would like it more. Like so many kids movies seem the need or want to do these days.

So tonight I got to go to a screening of a movie that stars Iron Man, Dickie Greenleaf and Claire Cleary (wedding crashers) It was directed by some guy that used to be married to Madonna.

I had to sign a nondisclosure statement so I can't really say that much about the movie itself.

What I saw was a work in progress soundtrack was temporary, some color correction needed to be done and some effects will probably need to be cleaned up but it's really entertaining, has great dialogue, acting and action.

After that last Guy's effort I'm looking forward to what he does next. The trailer seemed a little off in the way the the trailer for Inglourious Basterds was also a little off.
