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.

BSM is really a very, very good film. It's a love story. A ****ed up love story, but a love story nonetheless.

Finally got my wife to watch it.

I've not seen BSM, but I have seen stills from the movie.

I noticed in the Gathering that wherever they were filiming it must have been pretty nipply.

I saw Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist last night and it was OK. The music was great and the story was decent, but the ending was kind of uninteresting in it's predictability.

Looks like Ricci lost some weight for BSM? She looks great normally, but she looks skinnier from the pics.

The Woodsman is really a very good film. But I'll warn you, if you don't want to be emotionally challenged, don't rent it.

Is it a sad movie, or make you think? I know its about a pedo trying to get his life back to normalcy after screwing up, but has a real hard time with the "outside" accepting it?

I didn't find it sad. It challenges you because it makes you almost sympathetic to a pedophile. It makes you look at certain situations from a POV most are not comfortable with.

The Brave One - Horrendous. Stupid. Pointless. Predictable.

Layer Cake - I liked it a lot. It does, however, prove that heist flicks following LC are cookie cut.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Pretty good. I liked the movie even if it was a bit odd in parts.

Smokin' Aces - Meh.

I am Legend is on HBO now. Is it any good?

Don't get me started on how horrendously bad that movie is and how the alternate ending is a half step in the right direction and how it's even more absurd that they're doing a prequel to it.

Also, don't mention Akiva Goldsman to me either.

Sure-Oz · 10-19-2008, 08:55 PM

Just saw Sunshine, interesting movie, intense at times.

Damn it, I had hope for that movie...****.

Saw Body of Lies today.....okay, nothing special.

The trailer for The Unborn is creepy as ****.
