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 have a friend at the office who is 24 and loves to watch movies, and it amazes me how many films I consider mainstream classics she's never seen. Since I have such a big movie collection, I recommend movies I think she'd like and let her borrow the DVDs. She'd actually never seen any of the Terminator films until I loaned them to her last week - strange to me, but not when you consider that the first one came out a year before she was born and the second came out when she was 7.

Even big movie buffs miss some of the classics sometimes. For example I have never seen A Clockwork Orange all the way through. Also things like Citizen Kane, Schindlers List and Shawshank Redemption.

I watched Blade Runner a few years back and loved it. Couldn't believe I hadn't seen it yet until that point.

On that same note I got to meet Edward James Olmos at Comic Con last weekend, which was really cool. Way nice guy

I really want to. But I was mostly naming classics that I haven't seen and 3:10 to Yuma (The remake) has yet to become a classic

Yep, I was just kidding in my first paragraph.

I haven't seen any of the Terminator movies either.

Wow. The third one isn't a big deal, but the first two are films you should see. Terminator 2 in particular is ground-breaking, in that it ushered in the completely believable CGI that we all take for granted today.

I liked the third one. If nothing else than for the really well done fight sequences
