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.

Let's just be honest: M. Night Shyamalan is an idiot.

I actually somewhat liked 'Signs' until the end really....

The Village was meh, but yes he hasn't had a solid movie in awhile.

His worst ones are Lady in the Water and The Happening easily

A stupid movie about a farmer who sleeps in and never works, and who doesn't own a gun, and aliens who have the technology to travel across the galaxy, are on a mission of conquest, but also don't have guns, and are stupid enough to get trapped in a pantry.

THIS MOVIE KILLS BRAINCELLS.

This is my favorite scene from "25th Hour"

Spoilers if you haven't seen it.

One of my favorite movies.

Collapse is a must watch, even if the director rips off Errol Morris with abandon.

Correct, but "Caucasian" would fall under "all ethnicities". I don't see how you can miss the overt placement of Caucasian before " or any other ethnicities".

I didn't miss it, I just don't read much of anything sinister in it.

And, there's the whole attacking a planet that's 70% water, when water's like acid to you... and not being prepared for that.

I do really like Unbreakable, though.
