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 was expecting something similar to the first one. Shocked when I saw they stole the story from an awesome Asian film and passed it off as Dredd..

Watch The Raid: Redemption. it's the same exact story and a better movie than Dredd..

We saw This Is 40 tonight. Give me my money back. It was pretty mediocre aside from about two minutes of gratuitous nudity.

Who's nude for 2 minutes? That may be worth the price of admission.

Rented this a few nights ago, was wandering around the house doing little chores no more than 20 minutes after putting it in.

I got:

Eastbound and Down season 3
Lawless
Apocalypse of the Dead
VHS
Resident evil Retribution

How'd you like VHS? I randomly bought the bluray a while back and we loved it. I'm not too tired of found footage films yet.

And yes if you loved the new Dredd, watch The Raid.

The Loved Ones

Decent, cheeky horror. Worth a nonchalant watch. It had some decent elements that I enjoyed, but I came away wanting more tits and metal. Plus, there was this incestuous element that I could've used more of.

Gone

There isn't enough preparation Amanda Seyfried could do to get her anus ready for me. Having said that, this movie sucked. Dumb story, worse acting. Avoid.

I really enjoyed "The Loved Ones".

I should clarify that I really mean 'topless', not nude. It was Leslie Mann, the female lead. I have a weakness for slender redheads like her, so if you're looking for lots of curves it's not happening, but I liked it.

She also felt up Megan Fox's covered mammaries for a minute or two, though it was a bit more clinical. Still nice, though.

I enjoyed it as well, however, I've had that "pretty enough" song stuck in my head for 2 days now.

BHD and Saving PR are pretty accurate as well, IMO.

I never got to VHS.

However, after reading the back of the copy it sounded pretty good.

Dredd is actually a remake from an older Sylvester Stallone version... seen here:

And yes, I enjoyed the new Dredd quite a bit as well!!! I'll have to check out The Raid: Redemption.

Really liked Les Miserables. I was very impressed with Anne Hathaway, Jackman, and Eddie Redmayne (whose remorseful song "Empty Chairs with Empty Tables" was probably my favorite). Russell Crowe's voice didn't bother me at all. The Christian imagery was bold and welcoming.

Before watching the musical, I watched the 4.5 hour French version from 1934 on hulu. It is phenomenal, with a nearly perfect pace (the battle scenes are dated and a bit tiring). A note: the actor who plays Jean Valjean was Jewish and killed in the Holocaust.
