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.

Didn't seem much different from "The Hangover", where you had such esoteric bits as a fat guy in a jock hugging another guy, or a girl breastfeeding in front of strange men, or a naked Asian guy jumping out of a trunk. We're not talking Shakespeare when it comes to comedies, really. (And, in my defense, my wife and I have watched some of the old episodes from the recent Sci-Fi marathon. If I hadn't just seen some, and been reminded of how God-awful cheesy the first one was, I probably would've liked the film less. Also, I work at a theater so I see them for free; I wouldn't recommend "LotL" unless it's a matinee price.)

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying "LotL" is a must-see, belly-laugh, best comedy in years. I'm just saying, it's better than people give it credit for.

I have a confession to make.

Over the weekend, while DTV was doing the free HBO and Showtime thing, I watched...... The Happening.

And I kind of liked it.

OK flame away.

**Lzen** · 06-22-2009, 11:46 AM

Watched over the weekend

Yes Man - I like Jim Carey and this movie was funny

The Talented Mr. Ripley - I normally like Matt Damon but this one was boring and just......weird

WHAT!!!

I absolutely love that movie. If Alfred Hitchcock was alive today, that's the movie he'd make.

Frazod · 06-22-2009, 12:32 PM

It's all relative, I guess. Had I paid money to watch The Happening in the theater I would probably have been pissed. Watching it at home on a free preview weekend half loopy because I popped a couple of vicodins to knock back a sinus headache, it was okay.

If i had never seen it, sure i might just give it a shot for free in my own home....but i paid for it in theaters, the crowd just laughed at the end and i even heard a few 'wtf?''s in the crowd

Simply Red · 06-22-2009, 01:42 PM

didn't know if these have been discussed, i'm sure they have,

Taken - loved it
Grand Torino - good stuff, never knew I liked C. Eastwood that much.
Slaughter (8-films to die for) - VERY entertaining in a juvinille way, plus took place in the dirty, dirty. Actually Atlanta.

Turn your tv facing to where that lady in your apratment walks around all the time in the nude.
Put porn on and walk around in your thong underwear like its no biggie.

After a couple weeks go to her door and invite her to watch some movies at your place.
Then when you are in her apt. You can look across the way when the porno is running and say yep that's my tv in my bachelor pad like crib... I must of forgot to turn it off. Come over when you want. Oh, and by the way, dress casual as you give her a wink of an eye.

KCChiefsMan · 06-23-2009, 12:16 AM

was really hungover on Saturday and watched netflix on the 360 all day. I got in:

Surfer, Dude with Mathew McConaughey and Woodey Harrelson, I kinda got a kick out of it actually. McConaughey plays a great stoner dude.

Bottle Rocket - Luke and Owen Wilson's first flick I guess, pretty good, some funny parts

Without a Paddle 2 - what an abortion of a movie, it was ALMOST enjoyable until the part with the killer squirels with knives part. It was exactly the same plot as the first one, I kinda got a kick out of the 1st one and I'm actually embarassed that I watched it, but oh well.

Forever Strong - some movie about these kids that are into MMA and he fights the toughest one for revenge. Typical, pretty bad acting but I guess it was ok.

Dude, so catwoman is on AMC tonight. Hadn't seen it, there was nothing else on, wtf not? OMG what a ****ing horrid ass abortion of a ****ing flick.

Wow. Seriously. This has to rank up there with one of the worst movies ever. The Tim Burton version of Catwoman was much much better. FFS I made it through 15 minutes and didn't even see her in her hot ass costume or whatever.
