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 just watched Monsters, it was pretty good. Knowing this was a low-low-budgeted film, I went in not expecting terribly much. I was pleasantly surprised by the richness of it and how it actually benefited from lack of special effects. Its subtlety and visual subterfuge are its strength. Like Jaws or Cloverfield, you see all the evidence and aftermath of the monsters, without actually seeing too much of them, which raises the tension. It has a great human element as you watch the relationship between the two main characters grow. The payoff in the end is the only letdown of the whole film. I wanted to get a decent look at the creatures, but they were (due to budget, I assume) hidden in darkness, despite their enormity. I would have really like to have seen a wider diversity of biology, too, and a bit more in-depth discussion of the alien species. Despite those criticisms, I still recommend it.

You jackass. It has nothing to do with a sense of entitlement. I literally GAVE NO ****S about the movie that was playing. Gay porn could have been playing and I would have ducked into a theater.

Lol ok. I pay when I go in, that's where my sense of entitlement to call a spade a spade comes from.
