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 took in Here Comes the Boom yesterday. Normally it isn't the quality of movie I like to spend the price of admission on, but wife wanted to go to the movies and it was the only thing that was in my shitty ass theater.

Anyway, it was decent for what it was. The fighting was better than I expected, the comedy was close to over the top but not too bad, and the characters were infectious.

Spoiler!

In other news, Salma Hayek is still ****ing fine. I looked her up, and she's 46. She's quite possibly the hottest 46 year old ever in the history of mankind. Son of a bitch. She is goddamn hot.

Kevin James must have worked out A LOT to get into that kind of shape. He looked good.

The thing I did like about the movie was it didn't pull any punches about education sucking bawls these days. I don't think teachers are doing nothing like James was. but the commentary between him and Hayek about the system was poignant. Yeah, it is a dramatization, but the problems in the movie are real, and they really didn't pull any punches talking about it. Good on them.

Watched "get rich or die tryin" yesterday, for lack of anything else on & was actually surprised at how good it was... a credible enough acting job from 50 early on in that side of his career.

As good or better than eight mile.

Finally saw the Avengers. It was good.

Went to see Sinister. I was prepared to be totally scared (I'm a total wuss when it comes to scary movies). While it had those moments where you were supposed to jump, those times were totally predictable. Story line was only partially interesting. If you're looking for a thriller, don't waste your money on this.

Anyone see the hunger games? I have it on blu ray, just kind of skeptical to watch it.

The scene with Hulk and the demigod was hilarious.

Magic Mike is a pile of shit.

Get the Gringo isn't bad. Not Mel Gibson's best though.

Depending on what you're after.

If you go in understanding it is made for 12 year olds, it'll be good enough.

Seven Psychopaths was entertaining in a Fish-Called-Wanda-meet's-Quentin-Tarantino-kinda way.

Soldier's Girl (2003) - probably not for everyone due to the transgender love story thing, but it is really a good movie.

Lost in Translation (2003) - really liked this one the first time so I bought it, but seemed dull this time

Over the Edge (1979) - never fails, always a fun watch, Matt Dillon, troubled bored kids and Cheap Trick go really well together.

Entire movies on the treadmill or just in stages?

Goddamn it, I wish they wouldn't have taken the Rocky approach and had him win. It would have been a much better story IMO to have him rally and lose and have Joe Rogan or that dude he fought donate the money. Or even have them get back home and have anonymous donations pour in because of the story. The Rocky story was predictable and nowhere near what would actually happen. There isn't any way anybody can come back through that beating and land the stuff he did without the other guy getting drugged or something. It really took away from the story IMO. /rant In other news, Salma Hayek is still ****ing fine. I looked her up, and she's 46.
