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've read some of the Potter books, I think they're well written. They're definitely imaginative. From what I've heard the twilight books are pretty reeruned.

I think this movie would be great. Dillinger's real life story is really awesome. Many in that era thought he was a sort of hero with a charismatic swagger. Banks were not liked very well during the depression era. Directed by Micheal Mann.

Oh, the movies suck 100394034830x worse if you've read the books (Harry Potter, that is). And I'm willing to concede things in adaptations. But the films, outside of #3 (Azkaban) suck hard core.

Ha! The land of the lost stunk on his debut weekend. This article attached shows they invested about 200 million in that worthless piece of junk. And it only made 19.5 out of the gates. Not good, not good at all.

Will Ferrells schitck is getting old.

Just watched Gran Torino.

Wow, some of the writing was pretty shitty, and some of the acting was terrible. I understand there needed to be a certain tone of prejudice, but good lord, I think I heard the same cheesy, generic slurs 6,000 times in 2 hours. I still enjoyed it on a base level though.

Hangover was good but not great. Really funny, but nothing much else. Wedding Crashers was, by far, a better movie.

Just saw the Wrestler. Good flick. I actually felt sorry for him.

I still can't believe grown men like wrestling.

It was a depressing flick, that's for sure.

LOL. Me either. It's like a big, sweaty, gay male soap opera.

I felt sadness for him, but I didn't find it that depressing.

He went out on his own terms.

Saw two films at the Tivoli tonight. Rudo y Corsi was fun; not enough tension, though.
Anvil: The Story of Anvil, however, was a superb documentary.

Anvil was great.

Shuttle: the worst movie I have ever seen.

Just got back from the remake of The Taking Of Pelham 123,Travolta was great as the bad guy but overall the movie wasn't.Don't get me wrong it's worth a watch but I'd personally hit a cheap matinee or wait till DVD.I'd give it 2 1/2 of 4 stars which on my scale is a regular movie,nothing so bad you can't sit through it and good enough to keep your attention.
