Good lord, talk about a director who went in the tubes the latter half of his career.

His first 10 years were great.

Last 15 total suckage.

Yep.

Bucket List was horrible. To me, it was just an extended version of the Coke commercial.

The sights, the sounds, . . . the smells, of a real rock band . . .

Ahh, the good old days.

Ugh, hated the Bucket List. Everything it could have been and what it was makes me want to kill Rob Reiner. Two of the best actors and you still manage to only make a mandatory "feel good" heartwarming story.

It was at the dollar show, close enough to that anyway. Thought it would be a cheap, entertaining evening.

We walked out of the theater, seems like the first hour of it was Nickelson and Freeman talking in the hospital room. On and on ZZzzzzz. :ZZZ:
Finally she was fed up and said lets go.
Couldn't believe they had two A list actors in such a boring film.

I posted a YouTube of this movie in another thread, and realized I hadn't posted about this movie a saw a couple of weeks ago.
It's a documentary about a chorus in Massachusetts consisting of people in their 70s or older. They sing mainly modern type songs. Some punk, some rap, you know...whatever. It is a really great documentary, and you fall in love with the spirit of these people who have decided that, rather than sitting and growing old and bemoaning what has happened to the world, have decided to still be a part of it and its changing culture. The documentary follows them as they prepare for their next show with some new songs that are pretty tough for them to wrap their heads around, and goes pretty in depth into the lives (and health, as can be expected) of a few key members. It's fun, funny, heartwarming, and a tear-jerker. Well worth the time, in a theater or on video when it comes out.
I'll post a couple of vids from the movie...

Here is the trailer...

Just watched Rendition with Gylenhaal (sp?). It was meh. Didn't do much for me. I suppose it was meant to make a political statement, but it did a mediocre job all in all.

C'mon guys, is that shark scene not the funniest shit you've ever heard? LOL.

I dunno why, but every time it makes me crack up.

To the original thread starter LOL at you loving Across the Universe. that movie was horrible. They butchered the Beatles songs completley.

:LOL:

That was the point. It was a different take on the songs. Way to miss the point.

BUT they BUTCHERED the songs. Meaning, it sounded awful. I got the stupid musical but they ruined those great songs.

I think you missed the point.

We'll have to agree to disagree. But no, they hardly butchered the songs.

Just caught Into the Wild, pretty solid little movie and an interesting story. Hal Holbrook was outstanding. Emile Hirsch also was really good.

watched Rambo this weekend....sucked donkey balls.

Leatherheads was decent. I like Clooney as a comedic actor, and John Kryzidejkdieeskisdifiii was good too.

WALLE: Superb.
WANTED: Wanted to like it. Couldn't. Rent it.

I saw the Hulk a few days ago. The story was pretty lame, although not quite as lame as the Eric Bana version a few years ago. All in all, it was better than that version, but not by a lot. Of the new Avengers lead-ups, this is nowhere near as good as Iron Man, although there are nods to the upcoming Thor movie and the Avengers movie in it.
