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 rented Strange Wilderness and Diary of the Dead tonight.

So far, before I rented SW I really thought it'd be an alright flick. I like the whole cast, but the movie was pretty horrible. There were 2-3 parts that really got me laughing.

Now, I'll watch Romero's new zombie flick - Diary of the Dead. I hope it doesn't suck.

Pretty much sums it up for me as well. You knew exactly what was coming well in advance but it still worked as obviously intended.

Watched the documentary "King of Kong" on Netflix instant last night and it was quite entertaining. Lots of unintended humor (at least by others than the director) and a pretty nice story.

Another I watched on Netflix instant tonight was "The Enemy Below". Very engaging WWII sub movie and has held up very well over time.

I really enjoyed Romero's Diary of the Dead. It was cool he tried making it different with the FP camera shooting.

I also enjoyed the new, unique ways they killed zombies.

I enjoyed the Strangers. However, I thought the ending was sort of iffy. And for paying an assload of money to watch a movie at the theater it was a pretty short movie.

Don't buy the soda and popcorn, it will kill your entertainment budget.

And, if you want a better deal for the same product, go to an earlier show that has cheaper prices.

I went to the matinee. It was still $7 bucks. I had to have a drink, too. I just figured the show would be a bit longer than what, 1hr 20mins?

Sure-Oz - I enjoyed the movie. It had a couple of good jump spots. But, to me, it didn't put itself above and beyond other horror movies. I would probably wait to rent it if I was you.

Thanks, it wasn't on the top of my lists but if its just like any other movie i can wait. Any other movies out right now worth a damn? That Panda one looks like it might be worth a shot.

ALready saw Indy 4 and Iron Man

I remember when my parents would do that when i was a kid. I would be embarrassed. I look back and think how stupid i was to have thought that.

Yeah we bring in those 1 liter bottles or whatever,

**** movie theaters anyway, they charge up the ass for everything, and if they argue about what you brought in, just go to the customer service area and say the movie/service sucked, maybe you'll get a refund

When I first trained at AMC, they said people are allowed to bring in other sodas and stuff. Just nothing to excessive. We were to encourage concessions....
