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.

"Midnight Meat Train" just doesn't sound black enough for me.

Has anybody seen Amelia yet? It got blasted by the RT critics but the fans gave it a passing grade.

Babylon AD was a turd. A long, steaming, toilet clogging turd.

Saw the fourth kind... It was pretty good towards the middle. I couldnt stand the split screen stuff though. Seeing a real homicide caught on tape was stomach twisting at the least. Its worth a watch if you believe in UFO's.

The Last House on the Left.

Excellent. Definitely enjoyed it.

Excited about Up in the Air. I mean, Clooney, Farmiga, Bateman AND Danny McBride. Then you have the impeccable track record of Jason Reitman. OK, I'm excited.

But the extended trailer in Mad Men had perhaps the perfect quote from a reviewer, at least to draw in the likes of me.

"It's so many things that Hollywood has forgotten how to do well."

JIMP.

**Lzen** · 11-10-2009, 09:40 AM

Watched Lions For Lambs last night.
I didn't feel it was as one sided as some other folks in this thread. But it really makes you think about all sides of war and politics. Not a lot of action. Mostly dialogue. But well pieced together, IMO. The ending sucked but I knew that was coming with the way everything was leading up to it.

I'm excited for it too. I don't expect it to be borderline interminable like Reitman's last movie was (Juno).

Let me guess. You thought Juno was too long and thought it needed a "happier ending" like one of these:

Sure-Oz · 11-10-2009, 01:17 PM

gijoe-horrible, i didnt even finish it because it was transformers over the top.
taking of pelham 123-no suspense, or backstory at all, this movie sucked, not worth a netflix rent

That was a lot funnier than Diablo Cody's dialogue.
