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.

No Country was ok. It didn't blow me away.

Do I PPV 'Insidious?' ...or no?

I read the book and the only scene that I noticed in the movie that was not in the book was when the dogs chased him in that river. Everything else followed the book to a T.

Still a killer rent & still has a great eye for medieval combat, great action.

Rented it just the other day. My son and I did enjoy it to a degree. Was rooting for the Seal Tribe at the end. I never did grow to like the Roman main character.

Same here.

Just got done watching a movie that was taut, suspenseful, gorgeously shot, fully realized, and nearly flawless in its execution and aims.

Spoiler!

I just watched a movie that was better than that.

Don't try and cross this bridge, y'all. There's a troll underneath it.

It was a great ending. The scrappy, underdog Cards were hard to root against. That they embarrassed the asshole Tigers is even better.

Captain America, incidentally, was amazing, even for those who don't particularly like comic book movies.

Yes, I'm sure you really enjoyed it.

Watched Crazy Stupid Love and Friends With Benefits this weekend with the wife. Both were decent...not great, not horrible. Woody Harrelson as the gay sports editor for GQ magazine in Friends With Benefits was pretty funny.

Saw "Friends" today. It was not bad. I find Timberlake entertaining, and Mila Kunis was beyond sexy in this film, as she plays a very in-your-face girl who doesn't act girly (e.g. climbs over turnstiles while in a skirt). Sometimes Mila can look harsh but in this film her eyes just drew you in every time she was on screen (and since she's one of two stars, that was a lot of the time). And, as a bonus, she spends a lot of screen time in her underwear.

She has a tight little body. It won't make me forget about any of the classic 80's rom-coms, but it was okay.
