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.

Meh. The new Tim Burton looks interesting though.

Watched Fanboys, it wasn't bad, netflix it if you're a star wars fan. 2.5/5

The only thing that took away from an excellent movie was the cheap-o CGI towards the end, and they really didn't have to do it that way.

It's a great movie though.

I think I actually saw the trailer for this movie in this thread.

I picked it up for like, 5 bucks at Buyback Entertainment. The trailer was awfully bland, but something about it kind of spooked me out.

With or without the regular subtitles? And how can you tell?

It won't insult your intelligence.

I don't know. I just remember hearing good things about the flick. I completely forgot which version was better. However, on the case it makes no mention of any subtitles.

Defiance was good. Not great, but good. Frankly, I was expecting more from Zwick.

KCChiefsMan · 06-03-2009, 11:07 PM

for some reason I wanted to see The Burrowers. I think the trailer had to be great or something. Well it was TERRIBLE!! I like the idea of a western/horror. But damn, that was just a terrible movie all around.

Tim Burton is hit and miss. And usually more miss.

Well, I had a movie surprise me tonight. Nothing But the Truth, with Kate Beckinsale, Vera Farmiga, Matt Dillon, Alan Alda and Angela Bassett among others. It was really very good. In fact, it's probably the best movie I've seen in a while. My girl Kate was outstanding, as was Farmiga. Interesting story, really well acted and emotional --- all with a bombshell ending. I highly recommend this movie.
