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.

yup. sort of like The Usual Suspects, or a Beautiful Mind. Once you see it and know what happens, it's just not the same.
but stil good.

I re-watched Stranger Than Fiction yesterday. I've said it before, and I know I'm in the minority, but I really enjoy the flick. There are a few gaffes in there, but overall it is really well acted, and one of the few Ferrell films I like.

This time around, I really noted Dustin Hoffman's performance particularly

Spoiler!

If you haven't caught this flick, I really recommend you do.

I've had that one sitting around for a while but the description just never sounded interesting enough. I'll have to get around to it now.

It's about a sex addict with a crazy mother, from the author of Fight Club. What's not to like.

I've seen it, and have the DVD (one of those bargains I bought but never watched) It's been a decade or more since I've seen it. Gonna have to watch it again.

Are you ****ing serious? They made a second one?

The only good thing about the first one is there was some bikinis running around. My wife made me watch that crap and it was horrid.

Pop in a porn instead dude.

Didn't know they made a movie about this... Chuck Palahniuk is one of my favorite authors. I got to meet him this October during his book signing for "Damned". Super cool guy.

The Hangover 2 was much better than i expected, i just didnt think they'd waited long enough for the right script, i thought they were rushing it out to 'strike while the irons hot'.

I was wrong, very funny movie with all of the requisite plot twists, i laughed through most of it.

**KcMizzou** · 12-17-2011, 09:42 PM

So I saw this list about "10 Movies you probably missed in 2011" One of them was "Stake Land". Sounds like a shitty ripoff of Zombie Land.... except it's serious, and it's pretty damned good.

Look it up on rottentomatoes.
