Maybe I should try and lose him? In a maize, perhaps?

using the same pun is earresponsible

LMAO cobb

this shit is going to give me a cornanry

I feel dirty participating. I'm feeling like a Freak on a Leash.

I've not seen the film or read the book, but saving small independent farms is difficult. The industry is very mature and like any other mature industry, consolidation is necessary as margins erode. Grow or die.

Truth. Not a happy film by any means, but very good.

Agreed. Very well acted on all counts IIRC.

Oh, for the love of cob...:harumph:

Yep, that's a key issue that is presented in the movie.

Finally got around to watching Get Thrashed.

Eh, I suppose it's good for the novice. It definitely blew some credibility with the choices of people interviewed.

If the movie is as Epic Win as it's website, then ****...YES.:clap:

boy that new fast and furious sucked. way over the top and bad acting. Of course, I didn't really expect a masterpiece either.

Heh expected as much

Rented Knowing and Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I went in looking for Fast & Furious, but still no copies in.

I'm going to watch Infernal Affairs tonight I think.

I rented it last night and I enjoyed it because it was an over the top, shitty movie with a nice unintended comedy factor.

That TV show "At the Movies" that replaced Ebert & Roeper reviewed The Informers a couple of months ago and said it was one of the worse films this year. I just went back to their website and rewatched the review, and it's even worse than I remember.

http://bventertainment.go.com/tv/buenavista/atm/reviews.html?sec=6&subsec=the+informers


Then I watched The Informers trailer they have, which features Billy Bob Thornton. Ever since BBT acted like an ass when that disc jockey interviewed him about his band and then afterwards I saw him on Leno, and he was still acting like an ass when Leno asked him about it. So right now, when I see him it reminds me of a jerk.

I added it to my queue back last year, but after seeing the preview several times I took it out. It looks like a soap opera to me.

knowing was pretty cool in a way, not a bad rent.
paul blart was funnier than i thought it would be, i enjoyed it for what it was

gijoe has 5 total reviews but so far 80% fresh, will we be surprised that its a fun summer movie?

:spock:

Wife actually wants to see this. She thinks the "head GI Joe guy" is hot. I gave her 13 kinds of shit for liking Dennis Quaid, but apparently not him:).

I fully expect it to suck a bag of dicks though.

Hey S-O, how did you like Fly Boys?

I'll be honest i haven't watched it yet, but want to....i've been busy moving a few friends and havent watched any of my netflix movies yet. may try to watch it later today or tomorrow. i have to wait for the gf, cause she wants to see too. i'll let you know when i see it. i have the rocker too, probably will be stupid

I'm sure gijoe will be cheesy as hell, who knows though

That's cool man. I thought it was weird you didn't share your thoughts :).

'At the Movies' had the trailers for GIJoe and 2012 back to back, and I haven't despaired so achingly in some time.

I just finished The Orphanage. I recommend it. Very spooky movie, but more to it than that (and I don't want to give anything away). My wife stayed awake until midnight watching, so it must have been good.

I second this. Great movie. I love it.

I rented it, but didn't get a chance to watch it. I'll probably pick it up again next weekend.

Watching the brilliant "Wonder Boys" with Michael Douglas and Tobey McGuire. I had forgotten how great this movie is.

If you rent movies alot, i suggest netflix...

return it when you want etc

on that note watched "the rocker" it was alright, really stupid and had the guy from hangover in it that was the A-Hole bf in Wedding Crashers, which surprised me and the wizard dude from arrested development. Decent rent, but nothing i havent seen before, it tried too hard to be funny
Hoping to watch flyboys asap, i was at a friends when i saw this

GIJOE has an 86% on RT with 7 total reviews...

It is pretty good but doesn't stick out as much as The Devil's Backbone.

I watched The Orphan last night and am really considering seeing it again.

AHHH SNAPPAGE 88% with 8 total reviews now for gijoe

I've watched War of the Worlds, Day After Tomorrow, Role Models, and Benchwarmers lately. I had seen them all before. And enjoyed them even more so watching them these times for whatever reason.

It gets mixed reviews, but I liked it a lot.

Loved Unbreakable....

I must say, I do want to see The Perfect Getaway

just saw a trailer for "The Time Travelers Wife"
it's got that guy who ruined the first Hulk and Rachel McAdams, it's about this guy who goes around in time and keeps hooking up with Rachel McAdams and then goes into the future and then goes back to tell her how things are going inthe future and they are madly in love.

I was wondering wtf that movie was about, talk about weird

i think bana was good in munich and i hear hes in star trek but i have not seen it.

hulk 1 was just a horrible movie, he wasnt THAT bad imo

just watched Killshot. Pretty good flick. I love Elmore Leonard books....and they make fun movies.

Ang Lee?

Seriously, Eric Bana was NOT the problem with the first Hulk. It was the idiot producers that thought it'd be a good idea to hire a director known for his artistic and emotional stories for an action comic.

Just recieved the Soloist from netflix....anyone seen it? plan to watch flyboys and this, this weekend

I watched Martin Scorsese's My Voyage to Italy. Thank you, Baby Lee, for spurring this into action.

I was expecting Scorsese to physically travel to Italy. But wouldn't that have derailed the point? Scorsese wants us to know that movies have the power to take us to places, take us to emotions, take us to events that change our beings right from a movie theater or even your couch in your living room. Scorsese pleads to the young to watch the Italian neorealist movies, and Fellini movies, and Antonini movies because they left an impression on him and he is confident they will leave an impression on us. Not that we will all grow up to become famous directors, but because a two hour slice of art can help show us what it means to be a human in desperate times, with a devasted country, with devasted people (see neorealism, especially). All good art should help explain what living is, what people really do and how they really feel. These Italian films that Scorsese talks about and shows us strove for these ideals.

If do plan on watching some of these films, and do not like having the ending revealed, you'll have to skip Scorsese's film. I've never had a problem with knowing the ending myself in most cases. The end result is not the only important thing to a film. The entire process is important. You know Romeo and Juliet die at the very beginning of the play. Does it make their love any less dramatic? Does knowing that the muses sing of the "doomed" raging Achilles make his story any less exciting? Of course, some movies benefit from the suspense. That is their purpose. Hitchcock pleaded to audiences not to tell others what happens to Janet Leigh or who the mother really is. He was a master story teller. His art excelled in that. But the point of these Italian movies is not to be frightened or filled with suspense. We do want to know what happens next though, but it's just as important to realize why "next" happens, what events unfold to lead these people to these decisions. Scorsese talks about how he watched some of these films over and over. We do that too, with out favorite movies. We know Michael becomes the Don, but we watch anyway. We watch film verisions of our favorite books, and not because we want to see how it ends. If you are more interested in the process, the criticism, and the art appreciation, knowing the end is just a small detail. Scorsese wants us to think like that.

The movie is over four hours long. Most of it is scenes from Scorsese's favorites sometimes with his own musings voiced over interspersed with the film dialogue. He talks about a final shot that continues to haunt him to this day (L'Avventura) for example and things of that nature. He also talks about growing up in NYC, going to the theater with his dad, or watching the Italian movies on his little TV with neighbors and family. He mentions what movies particularly influenced his own (I Vitelloni and Mean Streets). He really does a great job of placing the movies in their actual historical context with the neorealists movies. His commentary completely upholds his love for movies, but it's never something like "Wow! I LOVE this part!" It stays sophisticated and interesting and deeply knowledge based, like a college professor.

The majority of major films today can be something like Transformers, which isn't even about humans, or superhumans, or comedies featuring awkward, immature men struggling with hangovers and getting laid. It's worth opening ourselves up to something different from movies, an art that has the capability to morph mulitple arts - music, photography, theater - into something that is truly meaningful for human beings. My Voyage to Italy asks us to do this, and I think it's worth taking Scorsese up on it.

Drug Wars: Silver or Lead
 

If you have not seen this documentary, you really should give it a viewing. It's scary what is going on with the Mexican drug cartels and all the violence and corruption involved. And how that may come here to America sooner than you may believe.

Here is a Netflix customer review that I think hits it out of the park.

Juarrez OWNS El Paso already. It's already here, it's BEEN here, and it's going nowhere.

Are there any naked chicks in it?

Hmm, I don't remember any.

It was a disappointment to me.

Checked out The Collector on Sunday...awesome movie, really enjoyed it.

Tense as hell and demented, it held nothing back.

Finally saw Watchmen.

I'd never read the graphic novel, but enjoyed the movie.

Ok, so I just watched Mulholland Dr. from David Lynch. I'd guess this is either a love it or hate it movie, and frankly, I think I fall on the side of hate it. I get that Lynch is out there, and clearly has no interest in creating a status quo film. And who am I to complain about a couple of intimate girl on girl scenes with Naomi Watts. However, I just really struggled to connect with this one. I'm curious what others thought? If you've seen it, you probably have an opinion.

Excellent news. I just bought this on Blu Ray (have not watched yet) and I have not read the graphic novel either.

Been into martial arts films lately.

Watched:

Flash Point - ok not a repeat watch
Ong Bak The Thai Warrior - Good movie
Chocolate - Watched first 30 min was interesting. Will watch rest later.

I placed [REC] in my Netflix que. Anyone seen this yet? Same gimick as Quarantine but better reviews/story.

"Kill and Kill Again"; classic!

EVERYONE likes anal.

Gay men, straight men, most women, giving or getting it pretty much makes the world go round.

However, I know not one black baptist woman who'll go for it.

Local phenomenon or conspiracy?...:hmmm:

Oh, and I'm 'bout to $#it myself.

While me and Fraz agree on about 99% of everything else I don't know that we've ever agreed, emphatically, on a movie.

WATCHMEN is a first.

Admit it Fraz, you went semi when they mashed-taters in the Owl-copter-mobile-thing...

I loved the scene where the director is seated with the studio people and they're telling him who to cast as the lead actress, and they're so focused on the old rich guy and whether his coffee is good. The old guy spits out the coffee and then they all get upset. Also, after you see Naomi Watts rehearse her scene with the girl the night before and then at the studio with Chad Everett it's totally different and sexual. It just goes to show how the same words can be played two different ways by an excellent actress. Overall, the film had weak parts but I enjoyed it a lot.

Have you seen Blue Velvet, that's Lynch's best film in my opinion. It's also totally bizarre but Dennis Hopper is incredible as well as everyone else.

best ever

This might be a fun popcorn flick, very surprised by the reviews so far

55% booya

better than I thought.

I liked GI Jane

the movie is not being screened for critics, so not sure how they've seen it. But that's a sure sign of a TERRIBLE movie.

Ahh i see....

Producers for GI Joe said they weren't screening for critics because they want the public to decide its fate, noting that Transformers 2 (same producers) got horrible reviews and raked in the money hand over fist. They specifically said they're pretty sure the movie can be successful without the critics' blessing.

On a completely different note, I rented AVP Requiem last night, solely based on some people here saying this was the AVP movie that should have been made. You people owe me $5.45 for my Blockbuster rental. I'll be PMing you on payment details through Paypal. :cuss:

Man AVP-R was ****ing fun as hell.

Do you expect them to say that the movie sucks goat taint?

75% this morning on 16 total reviews...for GIJOE....w/o critics...

i assume critics reviews will come after friday
