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.

Anchorman is notably not funny. Along with Taladega Nights. There are a couple good one liners but both terrible movies.

Anchorman is funny. Talledega Nights is dumb. I just didnt get it.

Just watched this suspenseful movie. Finally something original for a change, you gotta check this one out.

Rented it, watched it with the kids. It was enjoyable. Nice origin movie.

Yup. Rented it, couldn't watch it. It's crap.

Rented it, endured it, was disappointed. The production value was very low. Could have been better but, in the end, probably not all that much better. It had a lot of interesting ideas that went nowhere.

Some really intense scenes, one of the best movies I've seen in awhile.

I enjoyed Anchorman. There are jokes in there that still crack me up and I reference them out here in the real world. Taladega Nights had a few chuckles for me but that's about it.

Pretty much all I remember is, " go **** yourself SanDiego." and, "I killed a man. With a Trident."

I didn't think all the sexist remarks were particularly funny nor the 70s stuff.

I really liked "smelly pirate hooker".

The Lincoln Lawyer

Enjoyable. Excellent job of mitigating McConaheyheyhey. Only gripe is I like a sleazier production in my lawyer drama/thrillers. While one could argue Don't Sweat The Technique belongs in every movie, I would've preferred a little more solo sax to set the table.

The Human Centipede

Finally watched this, thought it was perfect, but I like surgery.
