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.

Gawd damn; y'all are some Watchmen-lovin' mother****ers up in here.

Haven't had time to watch a lot of movies lately other than some holiday-fare.

Sat down with the wife and watched Four Christmases. What ****ing awful tripe that was. The cliched, "two people don't want a family, but see the error of their ways and realize that it's the only way to actually be happy" shit that gets spewed all the time.

This has to be one of the worst holiday movie seasons in my memory.

Damn that movie does look badass. I'm glad you posted that link here, or I might not of even known this movie is coming out. Or at least I probably wouldn't have know that is until previews start showing on the t.v. Looks good in any case.

How many have seen Law Abiding Citizen? I thought it was great until that last 10 minutes and they completely sold out which was unexpected considering the content of the previous hour and a half or so. I can think of about a dozen better endings than that garbage.

Shame, it almost jumped into one of my most underrated films.

That's why the only chick flick, especially at Christmas time, you should allow her to watch is Love Actually.

Have you seen Serendipity? I had the famous Serendipity chocolate shake that they drink in the movie. Andy Warhol's favorite.

Watched Shooter a couple days ago.

Could things have happened any more conveniently for this guy? Holy shit. Everything he wanted, he had.

KCChiefsMan · 12-12-2009, 03:41 AM

I watched Whatever Works, a Woody Allen film starring Larry David. I'm an LD fan, so I rented it. It was meh. Not my cup of tea I guess and I was kind of hoping for Seinfeld/Curb LD and that wasn't it.

KCChiefsMan · 12-12-2009, 05:06 AM

so I was browsing through netflix instant watch movies and came across Carlito's Way: Rise to Power. I loved Carlito's Way, this new one was supposed to be a prequel to it and thought I would check it out and see the story. Now, I didn't expect anything but come teh fuck on. I could have wrote a way better movie for 1 simple fact, I have seen Carlito's Way. The writers for this one, obviously have never seen Carlito's Way starring Al Pacino and Sean Penn. It had nothing to do with it at all, nothing. They even had the guy who played Pachanga in the first one, but he was a completely different character. No best friend lawyer, no Gail story and was a latino chick. WTF? I could have dealt with the terrible acting but don't make this movie if you have never seen Carlito's Way, they obviously haven't ever seen it before. So stupid

I'm half watching The Burning Bed. Domestic abuse is disgusting. I can't take it.
