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 like shit blowing up, cool special effects, and Megan Fox. I'm a shallow human being so I don't really care about the depth of the characters or some artistic climax that is supposed to make me think. I am easily amused.

I'm fine with those movies too, but transformers was a waste of time....'im under enemy scrotum' wtf...bay ruined what he did with the first one, which was a fun movie and no where near perfect. Megan Fox is in that jennifers body movie, im sure that has to be better than tf2, she probably shows her body more in it, only upside.

Just finished watching the screener of "Precious". Dare I say Oscars. I found Precious to be a tremendous film with some brilliant acting and some great directing as well. Frankly I didn't think this was the type of movie that would normally appeal to me. However as I was watching it I found it to be truly gripping. This movie isn't for the faint of heart mind you. You might shed a tear or two. It's a powerful film that depicts a sad, honest, brutal, disturbing truth. That being said it's also a story about hope and the fight to overcome these hardships. I think a lot of people can probably relate to it in some fashion. Give it a gander if you can. I don't think you'll regret it.

Is the movie "Blind Side" any good? I was listening to the Tony Bruno show the other day and they had the football player on, who's live was based on that movie. The guy wouldn't even talk about the movie, said he wasn't going to go see it, and basically sounded indifferent to the whole thing. Sounds like they didn't even cut the poor guy a check.

Michael Oher was on the show?

Cannot watch a movie about a fat black woman. No way. No how.

If it's like the book, she's actually a fat black girl, not woman. Like 14 or so in the book, I believe.

Push (the book it's based on) is a seriously controversial book that's been at the center of many attempts at book bannings.

Now now, you know as well as I do that one trip to Gates at 103rd&State Ln. is ALL you need to know about the whole of Black culture, right?

It's one-stop shopping for the culturally challenged!

I'm thinking you had higher expectations of it than I did. I wasn't looking at it as some masterpiece. I expected it to be a continuation of the first. There were some corny parts, and the acting wasn't great, but it met my expectations.

Pelham 123 would have been much better without John Travolta. I had higher expectations for it, and it didn't meet them.

Haven't watched GI Joe yet.

I've heard good things. My wife went to high school with one of the actors.

I watched "The Visitor" tonight. I didn't think I'd like it but it touched me like I couldn't believe. The story was amazing along with a not so happy ending.
