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.

Yeah,and speaking of taken,that scene was pretty much taken from an episode of 24 but for intensity I'll take this one.

Something weird just happened to the board. I paged back one space, and on the left side of the screen it had a bunch of shit about "DCS is Chiefs Planet Icon, when meeting this person kneel and kiss the ring.

Everybody had some kind of weird shit like that.

The board has had that for a while. It relates to your rep.

2 movies last night,Pride and Glory with Edward Norton,Colin Farrell and Jon Voight.Cop movie that didn't have anything that hasn't been done before but the cast and story kept my interest for 2 hours+ so that's a thumbs up.

Zack and Miri Make A Porno,meh,couple of lol scenes,overall I could take it or leave it.Had a friend that told me it was the funniest movie he'd seen in a long long time,no way would I say that.

Watched Rogue a little while ago...pretty good flick.

A lot better than Primeval or any other giant croc movie that's come out lately.

Saw Slumdog Millionaire earlier tonight and it was pretty outstanding.

I went to Red Box last night to pickup RocknRolla, they didn't have it but they did have "The Lucky Ones". I remember seeing Tim Robbins on Conan a few months ago talking about the film, so I decided to rent it. Usually I read reviews first, this time I read them after getting home.

I didn't know what to expect, some wrote the film was great and some said it was liberal garbage. After watching "The Lucky Ones" last night, I can tell you my wife and I were both floored. The negative reviews are from morons who never saw the film, but feel the need to express their opinion because Tim Robbins is playing a soldier in the film.

It stars Robbins, Rachel McAdams who was good in Red Eye and The Notebook to name a couple and Michale Pena who was the locksmith in Crash and the guy stuck underground with Nick Cage in World Trade Center. It's directed by Neil Burger, whose previous film was the very good The Illusionist with Edward Norton.

It's a very, very good film, 8 stars by me. It's not about Iraq, it's not about the Army, it's not about soldiers. If you liked films like "Sideways, Little Miss Sunshine or Borat", you should like the "Lucky Ones". It came out on DVD Jan. 27th.

I will check out "The Lucky Ones". Continue to pursue 'RocknRolla'; best movie I've seen in quite a while.

I went to see New In Town last Monday night. Hilarious. It's a chick flick, but a guy with a good sense of humor would laugh.

I'm going to go see "he's just not that into you" with a friend of mine tomorrow.

Check this out. Make sure to click on the 10 chick flick cliches not found in this movie.
